Title: Super Secret E:SoR Transition
Post by: Iambian on February 14, 2010, 06:22:19 pm
Why'd I place this here? Because it's not really *part* of E:SoR anymore! Just enough of its engine has been used in this funky little app to give you the effect of the last transition in the real E:SoR voting thread. Except this time, it's the full version since I had the space to do it!

Unfortunately, timing issues aren't resolved, but that's okay coz you're probably not gonna have the backup assets to fully present this. Still, you've got enough, and it *is* grayscale.

Suggestions and comments appreciated. This snippet is copy and paste style open-source.

It's just a few debugging artifacts. This is a version without them. If you're pretty slick with your ASM skills and has teh devpack by dwedit, you can recompile it on your own, but yeah. It's far faster for me to do it since I've got all the stuffs setup already.

This is soooo much fun!  I love rickrolling people, but using this in conjunction with the Start-Up App. :P
Excellent job!  I can't wait until I can get this on my math teacher's calc! ;D

I took it out of the game because it took up loads of space, and for that reason. I would not want to force the player to endure a rickroll if they're trying to grind. Unless ... it might work its way into the secret secret boss battle simply to help discourage savescumming.

I'm glad you're having fun with it! If you haven't noticed, you can exit the app using the ON key in much the same way that you can (or will once the game's out) in the real game. There's so much of E:SoR code left in that, you can probably get a good idea of how E:SoR works just by viewing the source that's attached to the project.

If you want, I can probably remove the ON key quick exit (and force the user to sit through the rickroll) or add a key combination requirement like ON+CLEAR or something (if you want to obfuscate the method of getting out but still have a way).

This standalone thing is your idea. Whatcha want?

What do I want?  Would it be possible to sit at each lyric until the user presses a key, so it doesn't scroll too fast to be sung?  Oh, and can you name it Sst, so I could have both on my calc at the same time? ;D  Thanks!

I rickrolled my math teacher today.  BAD IDEA!  She was pretty mad.  Oh well, as it was funny for everyone except me.  I guess if she knew what a rickroll was, then...

The app's already named "SST" unless you're talking about having it... you know, rely on case-sensitivity. Related to that, I just named it "SST2" for the sake of convenience.

This version will not scroll until you've pushed any of these buttons: Y= , MODE, DEL, 2nd, arrow keys

There is a key hold delay. After holding one of the mentioned keys for a certain amount of time, it will treat any further holding as repeated keypresses.

EDIT: As before, the source for this app is included.

Oh, man. Someone already posted before I can edit.

For the keywait version, you may have to hold some of these buttons a while after the song's over to make it back to the homescreen (or press ON if you're really impatient). I did this to give a little extra time with the black screen when it was running on a timer. The number of cycles chosen for that timer wasn't an exact science. I just guessed some number that looked good and called it done.

Sorry if this is causing anyone any trouble.
