Rain Module on 800x600

[Dualnames]

Well, I've been searching and searching and well nothing. I want to use a module/plugin that works with 800x600, but thing is they either don't work or the effect is drawn on the background/thus behind characters.

I tried 3d Rain which I found awesome, but can't make it work on 800x600.

But I tried!( )

So anyone any ideas on a rain module for 800x600?

I also tried particle system manager, but still the same. I want to be able to have the same effect from the rain/snow plugin on 800x600. Perhaps either with a module, I've not noticed, or perhaps with another OLD plugin.

Most modules should work fine in 800x600 if you simply switch any hardcoded references to the 320*200/240 screen dimensions with 400*300 or 800*600, depending on whether you're using hi-res coordinates or not (for maximum compatibility, use System.ScreenHeight/System.ScreenWidth, but usually modules declare screen dimensions in DEFINEs thus need a constant value).

That's what I've been tinkering with the last 5 hours. But can't seem to get to work like it does with 320x200.

Have you tried my SimpleRain one? No idea if it works, myself...

It has caveats (no transparency), ah, well, I'm going to work on a good workaround.

I've tried the particle system manager, that from all the rest seems the only one able to reduce the number of drawback to one.

Thing is when the rain is drawn on the background (using a drawing surface), it gains transparency but objects and characters are drawn in front. One the other hand if it is drawn on a sprite, it gains ability to be drawn in front but loses transparency.

I've tried FakeScreen from Steve, but it's not working as it is with Underwater. I'm filling screen of room with  a walkbehind, I set baseline to 1, then put this on room load:

Code: ags

FakeScreen.Enable(0,0,450);

You need to set the baseline of the walkbehind to Room.Height.

Do you want the rain to all have the same transparency? If so, why not use a semi-transparent GUI with a sprite on it?

Dang, it is so obvious! That one good hint

Thought of it, but I want different transparency and not the same. As for Steve's thing..still not working.
