I have instant-replay code already written, and it works. I'd like to have the instant replays play in Grayscale, or even Sepia. Is there a way to do this and keep the frame rate > 20fps ? I'm working with a 3d Scene.

My first attempt was futile . I used the dot command to fill the screen with the grayscale value of the underlying pixel. That runs about 1 frame every 45 minutes .

Thank yas

Could you change the gamma and ambience to produce a similar effect? You'd never get grayscale, but you might end up with something far more stylish. You could ramp the ambience to the top to remove shading, and reduce the gamma to compensate.

Suck it and see

Thanks in advance.
All the Best,

You could use memblocks, but then that wouldn't improve the framerate all that much.. How about texturing your objects with grey versions of the textures, just while the replay is being shown?

Here are a few suggestions:

- You could use memblocks. However, I'm not expert at using memblocks - see the DBP quickstart tutorial on memblock starfields - that might be portable to DB1.

- You could try to position a ghosted, dark plain in fornt of the camera

- If you had DBP, this would be easy: create a dark grey sprite over the whole screen and use SET SPRITE APLHA to make it semi-transparent.
