Starting your cutscene with a black screen?
« on: 06 Dec 2002, 18:54:48 »
Hi, all ;)

I want to start to an intro with a black screen with some white text , telling you a little story like in the movies...before you see some landscape-scenes :)

How can I do that? ???
I think I have to use the titlecut or titletext command here, but could someone tell me what's the exact syntax in this case?

Plz Help... :-\

titleCut ["BLACK OUT",0.001]

titleText ["Line 1","PLAIN"]
~10

titleText ["Line 2","PLAIN"]

titleCut ["BLACK IN",5]


there, that code will keep it black, write out "Line 1" on the screen, wait 10 seconds, then write "Line 2" on the screen. In the center of the screen, if you want to have the text at the bottom of the screen, you put:
"PLAIN DOWN" instead of "PLAIN".

That should just about cover it.
