waz up with fadeIN/fadeOUT?

[Mr.Wolna]

Hey whats up with the function fade in and fade out? because sometimes it works some times not!

WHY? I mean i thouth the numbers are the seconds, so i have 5 but the engine did not wait 5 sec with black screen.

Somebody can help?

I bet, it is not seconds, it is ticks. 1 is one game tick, 2 is two game ticks, and so on. If you have a fast computer, you will not mind the fade effect, if you have a slow computer, you see it, and so on.

Didn't I already explained that for you?

 

[Mr.Wolna]

yeah you did, but sometimes it works fine and sometimes nit, so i do not know which value i must set!

Are you talking about Fallout in general? Because fading in and out has always been very random for me in both vanilla FO1 and FO2... sometimes it takes forever, sometimes it's instant.

..which is due to the ticks the engine makes. Compare it with an fps drop - then the fade will be slower. So lexx' formular could be extended:

"...on slower machines in general, but also if the engine itself has less ticks (due to some heavy calculations etc.) ..."

 

[Mr.Wolna]

so nothing to make ? Ok, what you are think guys is 5 ok? So on slower machines there will be a 5 sec fide out?
