I was wondering how you can change the background of spotlight when using it

Halsenoj · May 22, 2020, 2:11am

How can i use both spotlight and format commands on screen?

JemU776 · May 25, 2020, 7:21pm

Like the color of the bubble? Ok so @Lemniscate has done some digging around and has discovered different colored frames that exist which is very cool:

I haven’t seem them in any stories yet Hopefully different colored frames are released to the public someday

You’ll also find this pretty cool: [POLL] Introducing CUSTOMIZED SPOTLIGHT! (Well... kinda.)

How to use spotlight: HOW TO: Spotlight Format

Not quite sure what you mean by this…do you mean using cinematic (full body) format at the same time as spotlight format?

Hi there, I am currently writing my first story and i was wondering if there was a limit on how many backgrounds/overlays i could download?

JemU776 · May 25, 2020, 11:27pm

There doesn’t appear to be from what I’ve seen, I have over like 200 overlays/backgrounds and I can still upload more

Punz · May 26, 2020, 11:01am

Ah ok thanks

Please tell what’s wrong because as soon as I start the game it shows “time up” and if I click anywhere except the overlay it also shows time up.
What should I do?

Hi, yes of course, may you PM me? I turned messages back on

JemU776 · August 9, 2020, 7:14pm

The only way for it to stop would be to re-write the background without the weather effect. If this is what you mean If you want the weather effect to continue in a new background/scene you can write the effect with the background name.

JemU776 · August 9, 2020, 7:21pm

#Something like this:

INT. BEACH-DAY with effect RAIN
#scene here in the rain

INT. BEACH-DAY
#scene here without the rain effect

EXT. HOUSE-NIGHT
#scene here without the rain effect

miller_k · August 10, 2020, 12:16am

2 questions (sorry if they sound dumb…)

I changed (replaced) a background I use for my exit/outro in the art catalog to have more up to date art/information. will readers have to re-read the chapters because the background was updated?
if I give readers the option to skip a previously read chapter that contained flags, do they keep those flags?

JemU776 · August 10, 2020, 12:22am

Yes, if you make any changes within an episode, no matter how small, like even a grammar mistake, and then you update, the reader would read it again if they’re on that episode.

They’ll keep flags from all the previous episodes but if you update an episode and they have to re-play it because of that, it resets their gains and character points they had gained for that episode.

I find this explains it very well:
