- Hello Everyone:
-
-
- My friends and I have been working on a Role-Playing-Game (RPG)
- for the past month and a half... We've run into 4 problems:
-
-
- 1. We decied to use screen 12 for the high resolution but we
- NEED 256 colours! At first we tried to use the palette
- statement to obtain the colours we desired but evertime we
- change one of the colours, it changes the associated colour
- on the screen! eg: I made colour 5 become shade 64 with the
- palette staement... now if I change colour 5 to a different
- shade, anything that colour 5 was, changes!!!!! Is there
- anyway to get more colours in screen 12????
-
-
- 2. I need to heavily illustrate small sections of the screen. I
- first tried making small *.PCX files and loading them with
- the pcx file loader for QB that I got from CRS. We found it
- too slow and not worth it. I made in Windows 3.1 great *.ICO
- files that were just the right size and only 16 colours. I
- need to know if anyone out there has some code that would
- load and display *.ICO file in QB.
-
-
- 3. Is there anyway to fade the screen in ANY mode to/from black?
-
-
- 4. I have a Soundbalster Pro and I have some great *.MOD and
- *.VOC files that would go great with the game. Does anyone
- have a program that would play the types of files (even
- *.ROL, *.MID or *.WAV would do) in QB??????
-
-
- ANY help no mater how small would be GREATLY appreciated....
-
- PS: We're DESPARATE!!!
