That's being worked on. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish it last night, so I'll be working on it (and hopefully be finished by) today. All of my paper notes are in order.

I thought the spiral effect was pretty nice; although, I didn't think it necessarily needed any adjustments. Looks great as it is. Smiley

A strange man walks up to me in the saloon, when I'm working, and asks me to marry him; and I say, "I cannot marry thee, for I have a love who sails the deep, salt seas; and though he's been gone these seven years, no man shall marry me; for what if he has died, or in some battle slain; or drowned in the deep salt sea; or found another love; and he and his new love both married be? If that is so, I wish them both health and happiness that burns across the sea." He looks at me and kisses me and says, "Weep no more, my own true love, for I am your long-lost love."

I like the spiral one, but I'd rate them like this (best to worst):
6,5,1,4,7,3,2
They're all great. Smiley

Added an additional spiral effect to the first post: http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?topic=1495.msg21436#msg21436

A quickly-growing thread? I'd like to believe it.

Can you make the smaller spiral spiral out (keep the first half the same), but then instead of spiraling back in can it spiral out again?  The second part would fill in the gaps left by the first spiral and look the same, but it would be offset to fill the gaps left by the first part.  Does this makes sense?  Will you try it?  Thanks!

I don't really want to do that for more than one reason:
1. I want the player character to be visible until the very end of the transition.
2. Them lookup tables are very large, and very specific to how they're drawn. Changing the animation in any way would require redoing the tables. Not fun.

Doing the fade to white (demonstrated only on IRC) was easy in the fact that I had to change what was filled, not *how* it was filled.

Sorry.

I'm just not digging the spirals, sorry to say Big frown

My favorite is still the very first one, and also the triple fade to black wiper thingy for things like boss fights maybe ^^

Very nice!, It turns out I actually like the second spiral alot better that the first spiral! I like the longer fill time, and the size of the blocks actually does seem better.

I've been playing around with pre-transition effects that modify the screen in a ... certain way. I'll have to upload the effects pack sometime later. No, I'm not going to post each image individually. That would take up way too much time. Instead, I figure I'll just .zip them all together to save both my time and yours.

Oh, and if you're really into saving time when viewing the masses of images, go check out IrfanView. It features a nifty slideshow feature that lets you go through images at the push of a button (spacebar for "next" and backspace for "previous")

You know. In preparation for what I'm gonna throw at you.
