Transition to battle; suggestions appreciated...
« on: February 08, 2010, 03:59:03 pm »
... as long as it doesn't require 3KB or more of dedicated memory.
(j/k).
But seriously. Zera was halfway worried that what I had done was taking up the majority of the page dedicated to the engine. If anything, I can probably move the code off to another page, but still. Can't have something like transition code taking up half a page by itself.

I planned on making a poll but I don't have enough entries yet to justify it. So here's what I've got.

That having been said, suggestions are welcome.

EDIT: Added an earlier screenshot. That diamond wipe was a little too fast and I remember DJ Omnimaga asking me to slow it down. The latter image is of that.

EDIT2: Added a rough spiral effect.

EDIT3: Added a finer spiral effect.

EDIT4: Added a pre-transition effect pack here: http://ourl.ca/4092/75757

I don't really understand what the poll would be about. :( (Sorry)

Those screenies look really-amazingly-awesomely-great! ;D

The second I don't think so. The others are great, specially the first one.
If I add to choose between them, it would be the first.

I think you could do a random transition or the transition depends on the monster or place. (bosses could have a special transition)

Iambian is wanting feedback on the different styles, and what the community thinks would be most appropriate. For that matter, if you have any suggestions for other transition effects, that would also help.

I think he's trying to not take up a lot of space. Having all of them would probably not help there.

That being said, I say stick with the first one, IMO.
Looks pretty~

lol, I knew someone was going to suggest the PokéMon transitions at some point.

I already suggested a slash-wipe, but the routine would be just a bit too complex. :(

While I'm at this topic, much more could be said if there was code attached to the post to render any particular effect. If it's feasible, I'll do the conversion between normal buffer to my vertically-aligned grayscale buffer.

If you don't happen to have any code, don't worry! Just post your suggestions.

Oh, and the point of the poll would be to determine the particular transition between [1] Normal encounters [2] Boss battles, and [3] Decisive battles. But I need a bigger pool to choose from.

EDIT: Added another picture to the first post. Read more about it in the edited part.

For clarification, decisive battles would be fights against bosses relative to the main storyline, or events such as the final battle. (generally, all the more gruelling bosses you'll encounter)

I'm really lovin #3 and #4. The vertical and horizontal wipes are classic and look great. How about a circular clockwise wipe? Are you going to use more than one of these?

My favourite is the last one. I like the first too but it's a bit too fast I think.

i like the second to last one, but personally i think the best option would be a lobster shadow growing from the center till the screen has been fully wiped to black, if you get what i mean :X

You are of course correct.
