Masked textures don't work when you use createtexture unless you put that texture through a masking function.

This is what I use - I'm sure I got it from the code archives ..

Function TEXTUREmask( texture , sr=240 , sg=0 , sb=240, st = 30 )

	TW = TextureWidth( texture )
	TH = TextureHeight( texture )
	SetBuffer TextureBuffer( texture )
	LockBuffer 
	For j = 0 To TH- 1
		For i = 0 To TW - 1
			argb = ReadPixelFast( i,j, TextureBuffer( texture ) )
			r = ( argb And $FF0000) Shr 16
			g = ( argb And $FF00 ) Shr 8  
			b = ( argb And $FF )  
			a = ( argb And $FF000000 ) Shr 24
			
			If ( r > sr-st And r < sr+st ) And  ( g > sg-st And g < sg+st ) And ( b > sb-st And b < sb+st )
				a = 0 
				r = 0
				g = 0
				b = 0
			Else
				a = 255
			EndIf
			argb = ( a Shl 24 ) Or ( r Shl 16 ) Or ( g Shl 8 ) Or b	
			WritePixelFast i , j , argb, TextureBuffer( texture )
		Next
	Next			
	UnlockBuffer
	SetBuffer BackBuffer()
		
End Function
