XNA Advanced Techniques - Intro Screen Part 4

[kadnam222]

hey, when i write

Fadecolor = color

i dont get the colors class...

@kadnam222 I am assuming you are using XNA 4? Color was moved to Microsoft.Xna.Framework, so add that using statement above.

@Whiplashx86 I fixed it yesterday,but thanks anyway

I needed to add Microsoft.Xna.Framework.graphi­cs;

and im using XNA 3.1

And ur tutorials rock mate.

@AquadianEffect Somebody else had this problem and we were able to work it out and solve it on my forums. I will send you a message about the solution since Youtube hates my comments

When I write new Color(Color.White, ScreenAlpha) it says that Color can't take 2 arguments. What should I do to get around that?

[Whiplashx86]

@The3picNerd I am assuming you are using 4.0? Color is different from 3.x -> 4.0.  Check the link in the description for more information.

@Whiplashx86 I don't understand about what you should do wen you use XNA 4.0. Just the step about tha alpha, In the program what are we suposed to do?

Do I still have to type new Color(Color.White)?

[Whiplashx86]

@Deathowner666 You have to write Color.White * alpha.

Where alpha is a float value between 0 and 1.

[Deathowner666]

@Whiplashx86 Thanx, that works, but now I have another problem with : "spriteBatch.Draw(pixel, new Rectangle(0,0, viewport.Width, viewport.Height), new Color(fadeColor, (byte)(fadeOpacity * 255)));" he sais again, color does not contain a constructor that takes 2 arguments. Do jou have any Idea with that?

That is the only error left. And again thanks for the help :)

[Whiplashx86]

@Deathowner666 Change the line to:

spriteBatch.Draw(pixel, new Rectangle(0,0, viewport.Width, viewport.Height), fadeColor * fadeOpacity);

[Deathowner666]

@Whiplashx86 Thanx man you rock !!

[Whiplashx86]

@Deathowner666 Start the video from the beginning. I posted a note on the video explaining this. Hopefully I gave enough information for you to understand. YouTube would not let me write any more :P

[Whiplashx86]

@The3picNerd Okay I cannot post the link, I will send you a message with it.
