The 4 means it's a sprite. I actually forget what 1, 2 and 3 are, but 5 is sound.

Yes @ offsets, no @ x,y. The 0 and 1 are INITIALFADE and ENDFADE. 0 means completely transparent, 1 means completely transparent. In this case, the image is taking approximately 800ms to FADE IN.

Now the image is fading out, so it doesn't just instantly disappear.

Yes, and the x and y co-ords of the image following the filename.

But now the pictures are slowly fading in, and the full colored picture displays when it's about to end and go on to the next picture. What can I do to make the fade ins faster, if possible?
You currently have the offsets for the fade-in at 41433 and 96988. That means it's going to take approximately 55 seconds to fade in (96988 - 41433 = time to get from 0 to 1). If you want it to fade in faster - let's say you want it to take 2 seconds to fade in. With your first offset at 41433, your second offset will be 43433 (That's your initial offset + 2000ms aka 2 seconds)

There is extensive, coherent (imo) documentation in this thread which, ironically, is this thread.

Ok, I want an audio file to play at the end so that it doesn't cut off my video, but it doesn't play at all. :(

Here's the code stuff:

[Events]
//Background and Video events
1,0,"my video.wmv"
//Break Periods
2,78481,88931
2,153830,163931
//Storyboard Layer 0 (Background)
//Storyboard Layer 1 (Failing)
//Storyboard Layer 2 (Passing)
//Storyboard Layer 3 (Foreground)
//Storyboard Sound Samples
5,332060,2,"pass.wav"
5,332060,1,"fail.wav"
//Background Colour Transformations
3,100,163,162,255

I double checked and triple checked the code and even had someone else check the code for me. Everything is in the Song file and everything is titled correctly. I am completely stumped as to why it does not work :|
All I want is for the audio to at least play so that my video doesn't get cut off at the end.
Maybe I'll put in a pic if I get this whole thing sorted out.

Sounds might not be considered for automatic storyboard outros. Try adding an invisible image at 332060 milliseconds in.

How would you do that?
Last time I tried to add an image it became corrupted, I don't think that I did it right.

... ok, can somebody help me out?

Is this right? (I just added the circle and the x as the passing and failing pics)

Sort of. Your pass/fail graphics will instantly vanish once they reach 100% visibility but it oughta push the outro to the audio.

That would be Kiai Time, it's not done via storyboarding but via timing sections. Place a new timing section where you want Kiai time to start and a section where you want it to stop. Mark both sections as "Inherit timing" then go to the Style tab in the Timing Setup panel, select the starting section and check the Kiai Time box

Larto's Disturbia map uses elements from the skin in the storyboard.

I tried doing this myself but scripting a "cursor.png" results in nothing. I tried other skin elements and it still fails.

Is there a switch I need to toggle or something to activate this?

(Similar to what WyndII wanted.)

Any chance that trigger loops will support combobursts and combobreaks? And possibly the transition (just the transition) from passing status to failing status, and vise versa?

Use the move action. For instance:

Animation,Pass,Centre,"sb_items\sonicrun.png",320,240,8,30,LoopForever
_M,0,12671,42843,144,285

Notice how I specify a time period on the second line, followed by only one set of coordinates. You can do this with sprites, as well.

I tried to copy-paste with Scripting in Enjoy the Silence but i only got pissed >:(
I guess it's a good idea to learn storyboarding by scripting due to that you can do much more though........

//Background Colour Transformations
3,100,0,0,0
What these parameters means? I know that three last (0,0,0) means colors (red,green,blue), but what about 3,100?

Realize for other parts of the storyboard script, "Sprite" and "Animation" and "Centre" are simply named numbers. They are transformed into numbers before the storyboard is processed.

3,100 seems to signify the cmmand refers to the background colour transformation. It could be that 3 signifies background, and 100 signifies a colour transform. I don't know.

i don't know what "3" means here, but "100" is the timeline during the song. for example, Al-Azif's map "Boundary of Space",
the background color transformation is controled by this, and he use a semitransparent background to show the color.

Currently you can only trigger events on a clap, whistle or finish. You could use clever skinning to get it to work on "normal" hitsounds too though.

Just a minor detail I'm not sure has been posted yet:

Objects in the .osb file take prescedence in the layering over the .osu files, but only within the four nominal layers. That is, let's say I have pseudocode in the .osu file:

Sprite,Background,Centre,"object1.png",x,y
_M,0,0,1000,x,y
Sprite,Foreground,Centre,"object2.png",x,y
_M,0,0,1000,x,y

And in the .osb file:

Sprite,Background,Centre,"object3.png",x,y
_M,0,0,1000,x,y

Object 3 will appear above object 1 (since they're both in the Background layer and the .osb file takes precedence), but not above object 2 (since object 2 is in a higher layer). You can think of it as (and this is probably how it actually happens) the game loading the .osu file's events, then appending the .osb file's events afterward. Thus, since the .osb events are necessarily further down the list in the layer, they appear on top.

Something to keep in mind if you're doing difficulty-specific scripting.

It helps to know a little bit about computers and colors before attempting to color something in a storyboard.

In any case, you can see that your color blue is actually #0000FF. If you can understand the difference between decimal and hexadecimal, FF is equal to 255 (in hex and dec respectively). The blue color in decimal would be <0,0,255> with each number signifying an RGB component (which are the three primary colors in light). Green would be <0,255,0> and red would be <255,0,0>.

so the color changer looks like this:

_C,<easing>,<starttime>,<endtime>,<color1>,<color2>

Replace <color1> and <color2> with the color that you want, including the commas.

Are you sure the "startx,starty,endx,endy" are positions? More than likely it implies "startxscale,startyscale,endxscale,endyscale".

I don't know if this question had already asked or not, but I'm seriously curious about this thing:

How does timing in .osb file matched with the timing on the editor?

In case you still puzzled with the questions above, I give you some

SPOILER


The animation that I define above is the Clouds.png moving, I used Clouds.png only one time.

On the editor it said that the moving and fading animation starts on 01:52:500 while on the .osb it starts on 112500.
I know that the timing defined by the editor and the .osb are both same, but it seems that the timing system on .osb and on the editor is different.

For a storyboarder, timing are the most important thing on storyboarding especially if you cannot copy paste the sprites from the editor, which has to be done on the .osb. But due to different timing system on .osb, this might be a problem for the storyboarder since he doesn't know how to convert the timing on editor into timing on .osb.

I'm sorry if my question is confusing or you didn't understand what do I mean, but this had seriously made me curious since I'm also a storyboarder. Just ask further if you didn't understand what do I mean here.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks before!

If you click on a note in the osu tab and copy it, it will copy that time in the following format:
01:17:361 (9,10) -
in this case I selected 2 notes, #9 and #10.
Literally this is copied into your clipboard so when you paste it, it will show up like that.

If you switch over to the design tab, and press ctrl C to copy, it will copy the current position's time in ms format:
77361
That's the easy way to go from MM:SS to millisecond.

I have a problem with hitsound triggers at the start of my map. This map. Everything displays properly in the editor. However, at the start of the map, the first set of triggers does not activate during gameplay/test mode. I have already tried deleting some code, just to see if the client was being overloaded. However, this changed nothing. The second set of triggers works.

The code, including the triggers, for the elements is as follows:

Triggers are my worst newfound enemy, or so it seems

By the way, I'm aware that much of this code is inefficient, but from what I can see, streamlining repeated events into loops won't make much of a difference.

DEEDIT: It seems that removing the automated loops for Deedbg.jpg during Kiai time solves my problem. Of course, now I need to figure out why the loops are preventing only the first set of triggers from working.

I created copies of these images for the triggers. However, while their triggers activate during test play, they do not during normal gameplay. As of yet, nobody to whom I have shown this map has seen the triggers work outside of the editor. In order to see if the loops were working at all, I removed every other line of code. However, the loops still didn't work during standard gameplay.

As of now, this is how the loops look at the start:

Sprite,Foreground,Centre,"Deedbg - Copy.jpg",320,240
 T,HitSoundFinish,0,49752
  F,0,0,172,1,0
  S,0,0,172,1,1.075
  F,1,172,,0
 T,HitSoundFinish,89524,100838
  F,0,0,172,1,0
  S,0,0,172,1,1.075
  F,1,172,,0

Sprite,Foreground,Centre,"I CAN BE CYAN - Copy.jpg",320,240
 T,HitSoundWhistle,0,50095
  F,0,0,172,0.6,0
 T,HitSoundWhistle,89524,100838
  F,0,0,172,0.6,0
 T,HitSoundClap,105295,105810
  F,0,0,172,0.8,0
 T,HitSoundFinish,133752,136495
  F,0,0,2744,0.8,0
  S,0,0,2744,1,1.5
  F,1,2744,,0

Sprite,Foreground,Centre,"BOOB.png",320,240
 T,HitSoundClap,0,50095
  F,0,0,172,0.4,0
 T,HitSoundClap,89524,100838
  F,0,0,172,0.4,0

Removing spaces from the file names didn't change anything, so I guess that I'm screwed.
