Fade Filters, I don't understand

[Aquanistic]

I don't understand the Tutorial on how to make the trigger for a fade filter on version 1.07. Please help.

O I just looked at that and that is for a picture that overlays the whole map. So let's say you have a picture you want people to see throughout the game or until a certain point. ou just follow those directions and you'll see a picture that overlays the map and it faded.

Yes, I know what it does, but I don't understand how to write the trigger for version 1.07.
It says,"Note: If you do not have version 1.17, you can convert the trigger to custom text, and change the filter filename to your imported file." What in the world does that mean?
Please help

O it means right click the trigger and click "Convert to custom tex". You'll probably need some sort of JASS knowledge to do this. WHy can't you just go to Battle.net and download the new patch? OIf it doesn't download then you can go to Westfall and download it there. Some people take like 2 hours to download it but it's worth the wait. I've never had that problem so you might not either.

Okay.

Say you make a basic fade filter, using Fade to 'white' and back over x seconds.

Now with your trigger selected, go to Edit, and click Convert to custom text. Now you can see the raw code.

In the line that does the fade filter, you'll see it now says "white.blp" or "white.tga" or something similar.

Change that line manually to use "yourfadefilter.blp".

Now, copy that line, and undo your convert if you want to keep it 'not-custom-text'.

Instead insert a new action, 'Custom script:' (your copied line here).

[edit]

....or you can just keep it custom text, like I usually do.

I thought you couldn't convert JASS back to GHG?

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Technically, no.

But you can hit 'undo'

Thank you, I'll have to try that

don't understand the Tutorial on how to make the trigger for a fade filter on version 1.07

is there a reason you can't upgrade to the latest patch? you can't play on battle.net using version 1.07.....

The thing is, is that I'm creating this map on a computer without internet.
I still couldn't figure it out. Thanks for your guy's help. I might end up putting it onto a disk, moving it to this computer, change the fade filter, then bring it back to the computer without internet, would it still work on that computer?

No... heh heh.
