tinting when using a lockview *solved*

[Trisk]

I have a room where I want to tint Ego. However, he is animated, so I do a lockview and then run an animation cycle. He remains tinted while on his normal view, but when the lockview is called, he is suddenly full bright and untinted. I have tested with a reduced light level, and the same thing happens.

I even tried changing his main view instead of doing the lockview, but as soon as his animation starts, the same thing happens.

Is this a bug in AGS, I'm guessing, so there is nothing I can do about it?

How do you tint the character? If you do it directly via Character.Tint, try using a region and vice versa.

Gahhhhh...I don't even want to admit what it was I was doing, it's so dumb. After I complete a whole game, I'm supposed to know how to use AGS, aren't I? :/

When I converted the game over to 16bit color, I forgot to reimport that string of sprites in high color, so when the game got to using them, it aparently can't tint 8bit color sprites. Dumb, dumb dumb. Sigh...

Thanks though, Strazer!
