Title: Background brightness
Post by: dbuske on Mon 15/08/2011 14:00:39
The region editing allows brightness to be changed, but it only affects the character.
I looked in the help and searched the forums, but there was nothing on my problem.
In my Documentary about Jennifer Jones, I want to highlight the background images by making
sections of the background darker and lighter.
Just the background image.
Is there a way to do that?
It would be nice to be able to do that in the region editor.
I will change the background in my photo editor if necessary.

There's no command for that, you have to do it manually.

You could use a DynamicSprite (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/DynamicSprite.CreateFromBackground.htm), crop it, put it on a Dummy character (put it as first frame of first loop of a view and make the character face down) and tint that.

You could also use a GUI with a white background with its transparency set to 30 or so.

Thanks for the reply.
Solved.
I think I will work best to just change the background
photo in Gimp.
