 Posted: Tue Dec 25, 2007 5:23 pm Post subject: Brightness changes (master palette change) script |
 |
|
How do I make it so that I change a master palette (for brightness settings) and make it stay that way permanently, at least for the duration of the play? I used the load palette command, but any other script that tweaks the palette automatically changes the master palette back to the original/main and tweaks it from there, not the current set master palette. Is there a way around this?

Thanks for the bug report. I'll look at what's happening tomorrow...

Well, everything is working for me. Could you post your scripts?

| Code: | script,brightness1,begin
load palette (1)
update palette
end
|
This script changes the master palette to make it brighter.
But when this script runs...
| Code: |
script,dark1,begin
if (check tag (134))
then,begin
end
else,begin
reset palette
tweak palette (-1,-1,-1)
update palette
end
end
|
Then it is altered. I'm guessing maybe the reset palette command is the culprit? However, it is a necessity for my game's "lighting system" because it's not supposed to keep getting darker when that script is activated, just to a certain level. So assuming this isn't actually a bug and just a result of the command, back to my original question I suppose.

You're meant to use loadpalette(#) instead of resetpalette to revert to a non-default palette. However, now I'm wondering if this behaviour should be changed - hardly anyone is likely to have used those commands in combination so far.

Would be nice. My game is the only one I know that uses that combination for its 'lighting system' + 'brightness adjusting'. I think reset palette shouldn't set it back to the default master palette. Perhaps a command that DOES do that, but reset palette affects only the current loaded palette?

Or we could rename it to 'reset to default palette' and add 'reset palette'. Still, it's not really a needed command at all, and the current command very clearly documented with what it. Maybe we could add a command returning the last palette loaded, for convenience.

Use loadpalette. I think it's best to just add a command to return the last loaded palette and add a note to the plot dictionary.
