#AAWIN palette problems
5 messages in this thread
Brian,
I've created a rather large script in AAWIN, with about 50 FLCs and 25 WAV
files. It runs like a dream as long as I set my Windows video drivers to
resolutions above 256 colors (e.g., 65K). But in 256-color mode, the palette
distorts when I play back the script. Some of my whites turn to blacks, and
some other colors distort also . BTW, I do have the 20 Windows colors reserved
in all my palettes. When I load one of the individual FLCs with the LOAD
ANIMATION option, they display fine. So the color distortion only occurs while
playing a total script. HELP! I'm under a deadline, and need this to display
in 256-colors..

DUH — Good ol' RTFM. I solved the problem by reading the manual and shutting
Color Cycling off. Sorry about that!

Thanks for letting us know. I'd forgotten about the Color Cycling option and
wasn't sure what to recommend.
Another interesting point to remember about AAWIN and palettes. The
Transitions function — fades — will not work unless you're in 256-color mode,
including having that appropriate video driver installed, and since it's
actually a color cycle, that function must be activated.

Absolutely! This is a good thing to point out to folks; thanks.
