Title: does region light levels work?
Post by: evilspacefart on Mon 02/06/2003 04:14:51

I'm running 640 x 400, 256 color backgrounds and character views. Region light level set to 200. When the player walks into the lighted region, he's still the same shade.

You wont archive much if your game's in 256 colour.
See the explanation from the manual:

Quote
NOTE: Light levels only work when the character's graphic is at the same colour depth as the background (ie. a 256-colour character in a hi-colour game won't get lightened).

NOTE: In a 256-colour game, only darkening areas (light level < 100%) will work. Also, depending on the room palette the quality of the darkening will vary in 256-colour games.
