SI: Black and white?

[darkstar_]

Hello,

I'm just curious to know if anyone has ever had a problem with Exult where the screen turns to grayscale instead of colour? A few times, I've saved a game and upon restore, the entire display turns to black and white (gray). Interestingly enough, it will return to colour upon performing certain actions (such as enabling or disabling pickpocket mode). However, if I teleport, or restore the game, it's back to black and white. It's easy to get around it by simply restoring a previous saved game, but it's obviously not intended behaviour. I realize this could be linked to my video card/drivers. I'm running WinXP with Nvidia Detonator drivers 29.xx on a GeForce 3. This seems to happen with both the 1.0.x and 1.1.x branches.

Just curious to know if this has happened before. I'll submit a bug report if warranted.

Thanks!

Do you have a ring of invisibility on? That's the only case I can think of where the game should display in gray.

Ahhh.. Yes, that was why. Not a bug, good thing I asked. I'm still curious as to why it changes to colour if you enable pickpocket mode though...

>That< sounds like a bug. But since 'pickpocket' is a cheat, it's pretty low priority.
