Well sorry if this has already been answered but i need some help on an intro. so i would really appreciate it if someone can help me.

1. How can you make it fade out? becasue i got a 3d logo but i don't know how to fade the screen to the main menu. Also the Main menu doesn't show up.

2. I feel stupid for asking this, but how can you put up your own logo that I've made? Not the 3D one, but Ialso have one that i've made in Photo Shop.

3. And How can you put up a Back ground picture or a video clip in the background on my main menu?

4. Do you guys think making a beat em' up game is a good start for a beginner?

Who ever can help me out I really appreciate it. I actually took a long time to decide if i should buy the full version. Although i only have the 90 day trial and so far i liked it a lot so far.

Here are some fade functions by Magellen. You gotta be in 800*600 and full screen exclusive mode... Not sure if they work in classic tho..



2) Load your image and paste it.

Load Image "yourimage.whatever",1
Paste Image 1,x,y

3) 3 Same thing. Try an animated sprite as well. If you bought photoshop it should be doable with that. I dont have the money for Photoshop so your on your own on that one.

4) No. It will get a little advanced with the punch and kick zones. But you can try. It may be a bit of a bundle at first. Explore the language and learn a few commands before jumping into a large game. Try small games that teach you basics and physics such as Pong.

Cheers

Thanks guys this is useful to me. Why is it that my screen supports 800 by 600 but not below that. I guess it must be my gForcce 3 ti200 or either XP. I think i should of stayed with 98. Thanks RPGamer for the help and you too Travis.

Your card should support lower video modes, you have to search for it within your screen set up for your video card. Use the screen switcher tutorial that comes in DBC and you will be able to test your cards screen mode capabilities.

Thanks JNC. Although I couldn't do it,but i think i might be able to do it on Dark BASIC. My regular screen rez couldn't go like that but i guess it's worth the try on DarkBASIC.well that's all for now.
