 |
|
Working on a low-end animation script, universal between songs; utilizing the bg, banner, and perhaps one "supportive" image per script. I'm near finished with the "universal 4/4" one, save for a couple of graphical hinderances; and I'm also open to otherwise suggestable ideas for animatability.
I mainly could use help with the supportive images (mainly with some marquees and such); and possibly a dedicated image/marquee to songs with 3 or more remixes (or multi-song artists' logos); to add in as well.
Also troubleshooting the script a little still - even with minimal values, the "animation" of the images is hyper and jumpy all over the place, instead of going for the more smooth-scrolling effects that I'm going for. Any help there will also be greatly appreciated.

To use this script:
1. Copy and paste into a DWI file.
2. Type out the folder path from "Songs" to your title folder, and include the title name that the images use. This assumes it's "title.png" and "title-bg.png". Then highlight and cut that line, double click the ".../title" parts of the file (top and bottom parts), and paste it there. Remove the first space that's left.
(Once the script is troubleshot, it will be considerably easier to do an entire mix/folder at once by just changing the title part and recutting it.)
3. Based on the tempo of your song, take the first tempo ABOVE your song's, and delete everything from that line until the "0;" at the end.
4. Adjust the number of "."s on the first line to MATCH the number of 0's before the song begins.
5. Substitute A, B, C, or D for any effect you're after. If you have a little time, or want to "spice up" your favorite part of a song, just script the line with anything like (0,1.0,2.0,3.0,4.) *put a "0," in from of every effect* and copy/paste the line out. For "dedicated images" (song mixes/frequent artists... if they become available), I suggest replacing "D"; which is usually the climax/chorus of the song.
6. Adjust any variables you'd like to use... and if you're not making an object a "certain color" with "MULT" (R,G,B), then -ERASE THAT PART-. Otherwise, your image will be "blacked out". If you aren't using them, don't sweat it, it won't matter anyways. -.o
Any help would be appreciated in making this project shine.
*Desired effects:
A-Spaced out banners that smoothly move across the screen, one way, another, or both.
B-Vertically scrolling background.
C-A single, stretched banner that scrolls sideways - FAR from what it IS.
D-Horizontal scrolling background.
1-4: A closer-zooming background set, with proportionate scrolling/viewing.
E-H: Basic animations that are packaged with DWI, just utilized here.
5-8: The "1,2,3,4" tiles that are packaged with DWI, presented in increasing zoom, for songs like TRIP MACHINE.
9: For a dedicated/supportive image (future set, perhaps), listed in the "Anim" folder. Not currently used.
S-Z: Tinting/color-splashed backgrounds, for "shining" or "flashing" effects. Don't forget the "0," when using them!

-KUNG-FU FIGHTING
