text over palette fade

Post by agentorangeguy »

Trying to figure out if it is possible to put text over a palette fade to black... such as in the black gate endgame. Is that possible to do with usecode or was that hardcoded? if anyone has any clue, let me know, thanks!

I guess it is hardcoded. I'll take a look tomorrow whether it is in bggame.cc

Its not possible to put text over a palette fade in Exult. Would need to rewrite the way the graphics rendering works. Maybe if you were lucky you could try excluding certain palette entries from the fade, but you'll have problems if those palette entries aren't used in the background that you are fading.
