i know theres a fade command in DBpro but for heaven nor hell can i seem to sus it out.

any1 got any ideas on it??

oh and while i'm thinking about it. does any1 know of any good tutorials on 3D games and/or makeing a matrix.

i just can't seem to even make a simple matrix with a lump in the middle. i just get a flat pannel and nothing else.

If your game runs in full screen mode you can use set gamma in a loop:

Right well i just tried the code and it don't seem to work.

i think i'm must be doing something wrong but i'm not that sure.

since i'm wating it to fade between screens i supose i must put it after the screens been shown to fade it off, then change it and fade it on by reversing the fade off code.

could be my graphics but i got an FX5600 so i can't se that being the problem

As I stated above, the game must run in Fullscreen mode or to be more precise Fullscreen Exlusive mode. If it's a windowed app "set gamma" won't work.

And I Don't Think It Will Fade If The Screen Is All Black.

ok. it is in full screen mode as i got no idea how to do it windowed.

the images do have black in them but they aren't completely black. i'll try it again and see if what could be up.

In case you use the standard IDE:
Press the button "Settings" in the right panel. Below "Display Settings" click on "Fullscreen Exclusive Mode" (and after that choose a screen resolution / depth).
