THEREXION'S PROFILE

You could still tint your pictures at the same time you tint the screen. You can even set a time (if you you tint in a move picture) for how long you want the tinting to take.

Or you could do all of your tinting WITH a picture overlay. Since pictures display over animations, I believe I used this method in the past when I wanted to make an ABS using battle animations combined with a day/night system for one project.

This doesn't work because of the way I tint the screen. When I change maps, the tint doesn't redraw itself. Though there may be a way for me to make it work.

If the above solutions don't work, the easiest and most base way I can see this problem being solved is using two sets of pictures, one with day colors and the other with night colors. Then exchange the opacity's of the pictures when the transition between the two times comes.

The final solution, if nothing works, is to simply halt player movement for the few seconds the transition will take place. Since it sounds like more of a symbolic transition than an actual transition, I would find frozen movement of the player acceptable, especially with a short message like "Night has fallen" or "Day has broken."

This could potentially make my game too big, because there are multiple times on every day where the tint is changed due to the time. And I don't want to do the second, because it's supposed to be a smooth and as seamless as possible, that would make it far too clunky.

Ever since I got Parallax mapping working, I've run into a glaring issue that just looks ugly. I noticed pictures don't tint with the map. Due to this, the pictures that are the tree tops and things the player can walk under just stand out way too much.

I tried using the Move Picture command to change the tint, but that runs into another glaring issue. Because I never got an algorithm, I had to resort to a more... base method. Due to that, when the player moves, everything on top moves with him. I can't stand that!

While I'm not sure of this, I remember there being a patch that fixed this--but I cannot recall nor can I find this patch. Any help would be appreciated!

If you'd have read the instructions on the DynRPG page, you'd have seen that you should use the gcc compiler for it to work, because of some compiler sensitive instructions (assembly ones). And not any gcc compiler will do either, it has to be one of the older ones as well (should be the one which comes default with Code::Blocks)

Because I'm a fool who wouldn't look at instructions first, eh? No, I read them and tried to acquire GCC for Netbeans, I just couldn't get the blasted thing installed! I'll just go with Code::Blocks, until I get it figured out at least.

The sprite's animation was a bit jumpy, but not bad at all.
