What happens: when a "Switch" is done, apparently o5_oldRoomEffect() gets called, setting _switchRoomEffect to 4 and _switchRoomEffect2 to 0.

But there is no fadein effect 4 (only 1, 2, 3), nor a fadeOut 0 (0 for fadeOut will not do any fading to be precise).

So I looked at how to fix this. It turns out, adding fade mode 4 is trivial, we already have the data table needed for it, we just weren't using it! This is fixed now in CVS.

However, fades still will look weird, because the fadeOut mode is set to 0, which means no fadeout happens, which in turn results in a bad looking fade (palette clashes...). I am not sure if there is ever code that legall sets fadeOut to 0, maybe we just should check for a 0 here and convert it to a 1? But that might break other games. Oh well...

I'm going to close this, if the main problem is fixed.
