Hi guys!
Do you know if there is a way to make the screen colored while playing?
Something like when you're running out of health, but without having to modify the health and using custom colors.
I know I can modify the color of lights, but I'm looking for something like a colored filter.
Thanks!
FadeSepiaColorTo(float afAmount, float afSpeed);
you could try that out and see if its what you want.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Unfortunately that's not what I want.
I'm looking for a way to change the RGB values, so I can make the screen whatever color I want.
You would have to to place a box light that covers everything in the level and keep it at a somewhat low number for light value (like 0.2 for dark, 0.4 for mid, and 0.7 for bright, and 1.0 for max). Then use this to change the value of it:
Code:
FadeLightTo(string& asLightName, float afR, float afG, float afB, float afA, float afRadius, float afTime);
Changes the properties of a light.
asLightName - internal name
afR - red value
afG - green value
afB - blue value
afA - alpha value
afRadius - radius of the light. -1 means keeping the radius
afTime - time in seconds until change is done
Then you could use it to change back to the original lighting etc.

Thanks, that worked pretty well!
Anyway, do you know if I can also change the color of the screen when the player is close to death? (let's say I want it blue instead of red)
It seems I can change the noise frequency (in "game.cfg"), but when I change the color values the color keeps being red!

Use a timer to constantly call a function that gets the players health and act accordingly. This is assuming you have a boxlight covering the area. Also, make sure the time interval is greater than 0 and that the function calls itself.

Problem:
whenever the health is lower than 50 the game applies a sort of red filter that covers everything else and becomes stronger as the health is closer to 0.
The result is a mix between the color of the box light and the red filter.
The responsibles I think are some texture I found in the 'hud' folder (inside 'graphics') called 'hud_hurt_noise', and in 'game.cfg' there are some values to tweak (but as I said before changing the color doesn't make anything).
Any idea about how "switch off" this effect? ( or at least how to control it!)
