Or you could send the player to a room with an all-black background and display the speech on that. (Then send them back when you end the dialogue.) Could be useful if you need to do this at several places in your game and are not sure about how to turn Matti's solution into a function.

You should be able to use a screen-sized black GUI and fade it in manually (by making it fully transparent, then decreasing the transparency).

Beginners' Technical Questions / [SOLVED] (character) Dialogue ...

Last post by OrkischeHorde - Tue 14/11/2023 12:11:09

Either, the answer to my problem is really simple, or deceptively difficult but...

I want to fade a screen to black, and have some speech / dialogue showing over (above?) the black screen.

When I  use the FadeIn- or FadeOut-functions, the text doesn't show. I think it has to do something with the baselines of messages being lower than the fade.

Are there any workarounds / ways to implement this?

Beginners' Technical Questions / Android Build AGS 3.6.1_11

Last post by matty47 - Tue 14/11/2023 05:54:17

I managed to build a .apk of the standard BASS template in this version of AGS. I was able to install on my android phone successfully - however when I try to run the program I get the following error

AGSNative
Loading game failed with error:
Main game file could not be found or could not be opened.
Filename: ac2game.dta
The game files may be incomplete, corrupt or from unsupported version of AGS.

I unzipped the .apk on windows and searched for *.dta - nothing found!

Any help available please?
