Cutscene Intro Question
I am trying to have an in-game cutscene at the start of a mission, where the screen is black and a series of text fades in and out.

I start off to have camera fadeout at the start of the mission, then tried to display the text by using show-subtitle-image. Normally, the image will appear, but they aren't, probably because the fadeout doesn't allow images to display.

Is there any way I can have images fading in/out with the background consistently black? I am trying to use a custom font, so show-subtitle-text won't work.

Re: Cutscene Intro Question
Try using the drawn after shading argument in the subtitle sexp.

Code: [Select]
1: Image to display
2: X position, from 0 to 100% (positive measures from the left; negative measures from the right)
3: Y position, from 0 to 100% (positive measures from the top; negative measures from the bottom)
4: Center horizontally? (if true, overrides argument #2)
5: Center vertically? (if true, overrides argument #3)
6: Image width, from 1 to 100% (0 uses original width)
7: Image height, from 1 to 100% (0 uses original height)
8: Time (in milliseconds) to be displayed, not including fade-in/fade-out
9: Fade time (in milliseconds) to be used for both fade-in and fade-out (optional)
        >>>>10: Drawn after shading? (optional)<<<<

Setting it to true should make it appear over top any fadeouts.
