How would i go about putting text in greyscale on the screen?
This is how i would do it in regular asm
bcall(_cleargbuf)
ld hl,txt
ld a,29
ld (pencol),a
ld a,29
ld (penrow),a
bcall(_vputs)
I think i would have to draw to the 2 buffers..im not sure |

Ok you would do the same thing but you must remember that it only writes to gbuf. So you will have gray text. I can't remember which data buffer is which so I can't tell you if it'll be light or dark. You could alternate by simply copying the buffers opposite their destined active buffers.
Also you must
call gscopybuffer (only if nodouble buffer is not defined)

Ahh so your using ducks grayscale kit?
Yeah just use _vputs or something and it will only write it to one buffer (gbuf2 i think) so the text will come out dark grey.
If your not using the kit (and i suggest you do  ) the you will need another buffer to switch between. |
