Fader - Fade to transparent?

Hello again,

Say you fade to black because the player preses ESC...all fine and dandy.

But if they press ESC again you want to fade out to a transparent background (with the meshes etc that were there before)

Would this require some sort of overlay as the Fader object can only fade from colour to colour, not to transparent.

just use fadeIn(...) !!!

a look at the API can do miracles...

See i've tried fadeIn and looked at the API but this doesnt seem to work as youd think.

Say if i click ESC, screen fades to black (which used fadeOut)

But then fadeIn seems to flicker the screen and fade to black again, when I expected it to do the reverse.

hmm, I have no problems using it...
maybe you did something wrong, probably with the event receiver (a code snippet would help there) ???
Or do you use an older Irrlicht version ???
