Can you change the black background to another colour?

I'm trying to colour key the background in my editing software and the black background isn't me doing any favors.

No, you can't change the background color. The game looks pretty bad with any other color, a lot of the graphics assume black.

There is one option though ...

In fact, you can change the following line in Renderer.cpp:

void Renderer::Clear()
{
	if(displayMode & DISPLAY_PERS)
	{
		std::copy(persistentVideo.begin(), persistentVideo.end(), video.RowIterator({ 0, 0 }));
	}
	else
	{
		std::fill_n(video.data(), WINDOWW * YRES, 0);    //<---- Change 0 to 0x0000ff to make the background blue
	}
	AdjustHdispLimit();
}

Oh neat, I was going to try to try my hand at reading the source but got afraid once I opened a random file and read setjmp & longjmp.

I'll give it a shot once I've compiled it.

lol, you just picked a bad file to open is all. That's some libpng handling code. A little weird I guess.

Change background to another colour?
