FadeToBlack mutator...
Couple of things to note from my work last night...
Should the screen be blacked out when players first join the game and our waiting to spawn? During this time they could still relay information to their team. It's also worth noting that this includes the time during 'PreRoundStart', but doesn't affect viewing the scoreboard or map while in this state (or even dead).
I extended the ROHud using a mutator. When I called the specific function when the state was PlayerWaiting the screen faded correctly. If I tried calling it when the state was Dead or DeadSpectating it didn't do anything. Then I tried setting the variable bFadeToBlack = True for the 'Dead' and 'DeadSpectating' states but it didn't 'fade' when you died, it immediately went black

Re: FadeToBlack mutator...
As long as players can use the map and view the scoreboard, I would think blacking out the screen except when they're alive is preferable. So, a player's screen would be black during the pre-start countdown, but he could still view the map and scoreboard.

I'd like to see this very very much, on all of our servers.

Re: FadeToBlack mutator...
I think there's a bug with the FadetoBlack mutator.
When I die, my screen isn't blacking out, it's only fading a little bit. Here's some screenshots that show the bug.
First my normal view:
Here's my view after I've been killed:
Here's my view before the game starts:

Re: FadeToBlack mutator...
Interesting... Thanks. Does it do that all the time? And this is on server 1 correct?
Well, not sure what's going on. Thought it might have to do with the brightness/gamma settings and/or monitor brightness but it's still going completely dark for me. What type of video card do you have? What drivers are you running?
Is your screen completely black when you are waiting to spawn at the beginning of a game?Last edited by fldash; 03-30-2006 at 12:27 AM.

Re: FadeToBlack mutator...
All the time and yes, those 3 shots were all shot today on server 1.
6600GT with Forceware 84.21 (latest official Nvidia drivers).
At the beginning of the game the screen is slightly faded as shown in the 3rd shot, just like when I die. The screen is faded a little bit but I can still see.
In game gamma,brightness and contrast are all at the default setting. Monitor brightness shouldn't show in a screenshot, but it's actually pretty low too.

Re: FadeToBlack mutator...
I had to write my own function instead of using the FadeToBlack function included with the RO, but, by golly, I got it working! Thanks FriedFish!
