How do i make a map black?

[3lric]

im trying to use Changemap to go to another map in a event, and i want the map i move to to be all black (like the deep dungeon so i can see see my characters) Is there a way to do this?

Is it necessary to change the map? You could simply change the field's colour and background to pure black.

Well unless you will be fighting on that black map... then you'll really need a deep dungeon map.

ive actually tried that.   According to EasyVent    ColorField(x1B,x00,-128,-128,-128,-050)     should make the map black (unless im reading it incorrectly which im unfortunately known to do) but instead it makes the map turn blueish, ive tested the colors on the event im currently working on as well and i just cant seem to get it right  ,

And the reason im switching the map is because of the angel at which the sprites are moving once it switched looks like they are falling, which is what im trying to achieve, but the little blue desert in the background definately makes it look wrong lol

basicly talking on the first map
earthquake
switchmap
falling
(???) (make map black)
happiness lol

The first byte should be x00, not x1B

I haven't played with ChangeMap in so long I don't think I can help on that one. You could just make another event too.

ahh that could be the issue when it said ID i automatically just used a character one which would be B1 instead by habit i guess and yea i suppose i could just do another event, hadn't realy thought of that, just more playing around til i get it perfect i guess lol, tho I did manage to start and finish event 3 of 4 opening events for the 4 characters im using while researching this issue and now i can hopefully go back and fix it lol, thanks again for the help
