Black screen when I want it?

[zilcher06]

Is there a possible way to program a certain keystroke to make my GF turn completely black when I want it to? This could be useful when no music is being played! Please write me back, I would really appreciate it.

Sure enough doable. If you have all the extras from my site or want to create a wave config the does nothing such as my (chk_nothing).txt

Code: Select all

/*
	A nothing wave for viewing of the sprite images
*/

X0="-1"
Y0="-1"
LWdt=" 0"
Pen=" 0"
Meta="reactive=4 detail=4 density=4 morphable=4"
Vers=270

Then create a script called, say, "CTRL A.txt" with this content:

Code: Select all

 SetSlideShow( CONFIG_WAVESHAPE | CONFIG_PARTICLE, false );
0:00:01
 SetWaveShape( "(chk_Nothing)",5);

As per the comment in the nothing wave, you could add to the CTRL A script:

SetSlideShow( CONFIG_SPRITE , true );

to see pics instead of a blank screen.

You would need to hit Control A each time the music stops. Then to restart all slideshows just type "G" (for GO!!!).

there's a ColorMaps hat ships w/ G-Force 3.5.5 and later called "(Black)"...

Just make a script and put in it:

SetColorMap( "(Black)", 2 );
SetSlideShow( CONFIG_COLORMAP, false );

That will cause all the color to be set to black, so when you want to exit that, just run the command:

SetSlideShow( CONFIG_COLORMAP, true );

...which will cause new ColorMap to take effect.
