Hello Everyone:
My friends and I have been working on a Role-Playing-Game (RPG)
for the past month and a half... We've run into 4 problems:
1. We decied to use screen 12 for the high resolution but we
NEED 256 colours! At first we tried to use the palette
statement to obtain the colours we desired but evertime we
change one of the colours, it changes the associated colour
on the screen! eg: I made colour 5 become shade 64 with the
palette staement... now if I change colour 5 to a different
shade, anything that colour 5 was, changes!!!!! Is there
anyway to get more colours in screen 12????
2. I need to heavily illustrate small sections of the screen. I
first tried making small *.PCX files and loading them with
the pcx file loader for QB that I got from CRS. We found it
too slow and not worth it. I made in Windows 3.1 great *.ICO
files that were just the right size and only 16 colours. I
need to know if anyone out there has some code that would
load and display *.ICO file in QB.
3. Is there anyway to fade the screen in ANY mode to/from black?
4. I have a Soundbalster Pro and I have some great *.MOD and
*.VOC files that would go great with the game. Does anyone
have a program that would play the types of files (even
*.ROL, *.MID or *.WAV would do) in QB??????
ANY help no mater how small would be GREATLY appreciated....
PS: We're DESPARATE!!!
