Can anyone explain to me how it works? The tutorials I`ve found are in spanish... I want to fade in the titlescreen, I place with put_screen, from black. I so far managed to fade to black with this: fade_on(); put_screen(game_fpg,1); fade(256,256,256,1); while(fading)frame;end; fade_off(); But I don`t really know how to handle the fade command, and after the background has fully faded, it appears again... Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. [Edited on June 28, 2006 by Quiest] ____________ Roundhousekick to the face, baby! |

Code: fade(0,0,0,64) // go to black immediately put_screen(game_fpg,1); // place your screen fade(100,100,100,1); // fade slowly to normal while(fading)frame;end // ...screen is done // Now your problem was that it reappeared again after going to black again, // which is because you use 16bit. Fading in 16bit always goes back to normal when // not fading. In 0.84a anyway. So you must do something like: fade(0,0,0,1); // fade slowly to black while(fading)frame;end clear_screen(); // or place a process with a huge almost black graph on top of everything [EDIT] INT FADE ( INT r, INT g, INT b, INT speed ) INT r,g,b: these are percentages. (100,100,100) means no change (0,0,0) means dark, (200,200,200) means white. INT speed: ranging from 1-64, where 64 is immediately and 1 is slowly in about 60 frames. Fade_Off is the same as Fade(0,0,0,16); Fade_On is the same as Fade(100,100,100,16); [Edited on June 28, 2006 by Sandman] ____________ BennuWiki Yes, my avatar has grey borders in IE (so get a decent browser) ROOFLEZ ROOFLEZ |

fade() uses % reds greens and blues. therefore use 100 instead of 256.

Thank you all very much!  EDIT: Hmm, fade(0,0,0,64); doesn`t work the background appears immediately. I replaced it with fade_off(); and it worked. [Edited on June 28, 2006 by Quiest] ____________ Roundhousekick to the face, baby! |

maybe you need to use frame; after the fade(0,0,0,64); to let it happen? and fade_off(); has a frame; build in or something? =O!!!!! ____________ |

I also been looking 6 years for a system to fade out a screen and not specific objects. Only a bakground layer or something. Never found it.

Make it yourself? Use a process with a graph which overlaps the whole screen and is nearblack. Give the process a z value. Do: Code: alpha=0; while(alpha<255) alpha++ frame; end Anything with a z value above the z value of this process will be faded, the rest will remain visible.

The transparency increments don't span the entire 256 though, there's only about 15 or something different levels, so don't expect something super smooth.

You can set the number of transitions with alpha_steps.

O rly. What does it default to and what is the highest it can go?

It defaults to 16. Reasonable values would be 1 - 256. Don't use 0 unless you NEVER use alpha. The case of alpha>=256 is rendered independently and always fully opaque.

Actually you were right, as 16 levels have 15 transitions.

my god, this ought to be amazing... I'm wondering if there's an alternative to DIV's roll_pallette() but in 16 bit. [Edited on July 21, 2006 by Rhovanion] ____________ |

now that you mention it... is there any way to change colours dynamically, like a heat glow effect on a lava rock?map_get_pixel and map_put_pixel might be a too hungry method...
