Any way to make big text on a black background?

Hey Hive, i just wanted to know if its possible to make the screen all black, and then make some big white text appear for a set amount of time, if this is possible then how can i make this?

You can use the outland tile "abyss", which is completely black, and then create a floating text above it.

Inside the world editor

• Actions
  • Camera - Apply Camera 001 <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds
  • Set TempLoc = (Target of Camera 001 <gen>)
  • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads Hello World! at TempLoc with Z offset 0.00, using font size 15.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

This creates the text.

How it looks in-game

Obviously this is a very simple example, to make it better you could enable letterbox mode for example, or change the size/location of the text.


You could also import a .tga-file (image) which is black with text on it and then show it to a player using the Advanced Filter (in the cinematic category).

If there is no sky texture, you can point the camera up and write something "on" sky by adding a higher value to Z coordinate of the text..i guess.. =)

you can also use ap0calypse way and instead of using the abyss tile just use black fog

• Environment - Set fog to style Linear, z-start 0.00, z-end 0.00, density 0.50 and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%)
