black wall?

Post by DawZ »

someone told me that they had a black trail (wall) (actual black). a lot of people say that it is impossible to have black. that the closest you can get is color_r_1 0 color_b_1 0 color_g_1 0, witch is actually very far off. i never seen someone with one, but i heard of it and its supost to be a very hard one to find. some people don't think it exists. does anyone know if it does? does anyone know it?

If you actually understood how RGB works you'd realise that of course it's impossible.
As for R-0, G-0, and B-0 being closest, I'd say no it would have to be R-9, G-9, and B-9.
I'd also say that R-15, G-15, and B-15 is the same as R-0, G-0, and B-0 except one makes your name have a white box (don't remember which)

It would also be a disadvantage/advantage (whatever way you want to look at it) considering the grid is black lol

true, you would be almost invisible. but if you have a move pack, with a different color grid (like blue for example (its what i have)), you would be able to see yourself, but anyone with the default grid would not. :twisted:

Which, if you stop for a second to think, will lead you to the answer of your original question.

You CAN have black walls locally no problem, though. Just install a black wall texture.
