[Phase2/Beta 6] Screen goes Yellow

Postby Kirreip » Fri Jan 21, 2005 11:53 pm

I don't know if this is a Mac specific bug or not.
And I couldn't get any screenshot showing it. I flashed the screen 3 or 4 times and all the images i get are all black (see related topic: http://forums.introversion.co.uk/darwin ... hp?p=13022)

I'm not sure what triggered it. I was zooming and goofing around in Generator, I think I clicked on a radar dished and then the screen went yellow. Not entirely though, it was as if a cone of yellow light originated from the lower right corner of the screen. A small part of the screen was still normal.

As I said, I couldn't get any screenshot of it.

Nothing I tried allowed me to get the screen back to normal so I quit. I did not yet try to launch the game back so I don't know if it's ok since my other problem (http://forums.introversion.co.uk/darwin ... 2708#12708) did not entirely resolve by quitting and restarting.

To take screenshots on the mac version, hit P, and when the screen freezes for a moment, hit cmd-shift-3. That way you will get a nice clean shot. Use the screenshot taken by cmd-shift-3 (Defaults to the desktop) and you can just delete the bmp one Darwinia creates.

You could also try taking screenies in the windowed mode.

EDIT: 23 Jan 2005 -- Have you managed to get a screenie yet? That would really help those of us trying to replicate the problem.

I had the same problem, It happened after I alligned the radar dishes on the first level. I entered my squad and they travelling back and forth between the two dish's.
I quit the game and started again, problem dissapeared.
