    • best way to do a movie


      I followed the instructions on the board here for the best way to do a movie:

      • create a map from black tiles
      • create an action that does:
        -- save location -- change player position to 1, 1 -- change player icon to black tile -- go to black map -- show black dialog with movie -- restore location -- change player icon to what it was

      The result is a not flickering one time playing movie. So far so good.

      BUT: I have to wait a looooooong time after the movie stopped before the restore location kicks in.
      BUT: All dialogs now have a black background.

      Or am i missing something on both points?

      ------------------

    • Okay, got o ne point:

      Had to put the restore location directly behind the show dialog and everything works fin...

      which leaves the second point:

      What about the black dialog?

      ------------------

    • Okay found the other one as well:

      I am using a pure white dialog layout so the black map can be viewed through it, but I am still able to see where the dialog fields are in the edit window.

      Next I put a picture on it if I need a normal dialog: all text is positioned on top of the picture.
