Just curious.
I notice that the example "Lights" here: http://www.sketchy.co.nf/downloads/Lights.mfa sets the display mode to DirectX 3d 9 in order to apply subtract effects to layers.
I wonder if there are any other methods of achieving similar light effects?

Why don't you want to use HWA?
Additive subtractive blending both work without HWA.

That is why I am asking.
I want to know if there is a way to create the same lighting effect, without having to resort to changing the display to DirectX 3d 9.
Please define what you mean by "Additive subtractive blending"

You say that like it's a bad thing?! Direct3D 9 is just plain better. If you're developing a windows game, you should always use it. DirectX9 is over 10 years old, so it's not like you even have to worry about compatibility.

I didn't intend to make it sound like its a bad thing. Just wanted to know if there are any alternatives.

That's good to know. Very good to know.
