Best not to - video currently has issues on a lot of people's systems and therefore i would like to keep it totally independent of storyboarding

An example of what goes wrong would be great 
.
.Call me an idiot for not being able to figure this out...anyone wanna help me?
I'll right down what I want, and hopefully one of you can script it for me. Below I will post 3 times at which I want an image to pop up briefly and then disappear. It's the same image.
[pop up - disappear]
02.27.02 - 02.27.28
02.27.53 - 02.27.79
02.28.05 - 02.28.31
So script this, how would it be done?

uh, that was just a template.awp wrote:
you can leave x and y in the sprite's instantiation and it won't throw a parse error? Did not know that. I just sometimes threw in spurious numbers, myself.
Added animation specs.
Flipping doesn't work, and rotating while moving = Cerebral Pares-attack.
Also, Weegee versus Michael Jackson. Who will win this battle of crappy animations? Is Weegee truly just another part of MJ? Stay tuned to find out.

Flipping does work because Echo and I have both tested successfully. Can you give a specific example?Loginer wrote:

Rotating while moving should also be fine - as long as you set the sprite to centre-based origin.

Oh. :/
How will the storyboards be implemented? Will they be playing during all the song or only during the pauses? (I want the 3D dancers! 
)
)Both.
3d images? If you got them...

ooooOOOO! This looks very nice (a little complicated tho....-_-) We CAN use video witht his it's just not recommended right? I'm thinking of trying storyboarding with my beatmap (Believe)
Topic Starter
Afaik video doesn't work. You can use multi-image animation though.
You can storyboard on top of a video. Loginner did a little bit of that with his Dodongo map, and peppy did it with his m-flo one.
awwwww....I hope that gets implemented in the future, I was going to use the videos from the actual ouendan and storyboard them.....o well....
Loading videos during gameplay is something I'd REALLY like to avoid. This will likely cause lag as ffdshow/insertcodecnamehere reads the video into memory, and will then need to re-seek to get the syncing correct.
sigh, guess i'll have to learn how to do all those funky animations that they have on ouendan (oh gosh)
The scripting language is a little complicated tho?

Eh, it's not that complicated. Just a lot of copypasta.
meh, we'll see

Calm down, lolginer. Save it for the battlefield. The battlefield in which you will end them all.

Questions:
1. Can I storyboard "fail" only?
2. Can I add strobes during fail part of storyboard?
3. If the answer to 1 and 2 are both "yes", brief explanation pls.

Yes and yes. The second digit of any object is the "layer" digit. "Fail" is layer 1. So just make sure your strobe starts something like this (notice that the second number is 1):James wrote:

And follow the rest of the strobe tutorial normally. That'll put your strobe in the "fail" layer.
Thanks.
Got it working now.
Got one question.
Can the "fail" storyboard be activated whenever the player reaches x hp instead of having it activated whenever a player got a 100/50/X?

Currently no, it'd have to be a feature request if you want that option.James wrote:

How do I kick the video back a second, because the music and the video to it aren't matching up correctly?
open your .osb or .osu file, find the entry with the video, and edit the second field.
Partly incorrect. Check the design mode panel for a slidebar which will let you adjust the offset.awp wrote:

Is dat in publix? I haven't actually checked myself. Neat, though.peppy wrote:

Just curious, is it possible to storyboard on top of everything, including notes and the like?
No. The top storyboard layers is still below all gameplay layers.Tapdancingmetroid wrote:

I decided to let me (tired from work) brain help me figure out how the code works. After experimenting with the Move, Loop, Fade and Scale events, I was able to create a tiny scene of my intro.
Hello there. I heard about this from Scott Roomsair's website and I was eventually led here. I was so inspired to create my beat map after just sampling the delights of osu!
Back to the topic, I'll look forward in completing the intro of my beatmap because I feel so excited to finish it because of what I have finally learned. I also need to check out actual Ouendan and EBA footage to see how the speech balloons are drawn and how they "shake."
Nice to be part of the osu! family. Looking forward to enjoying this game!
P.S. I never played any of the original versions of this game, so this makes osu! my official first game in this genre of rhythm games!

San d'Oria for life
K2J, I don't understand what the concern is. Storyboards should look the same on every computer.

Oh wow, scripting seems kinda advanced for me but I want to give it a try. But I need it explained into simpler terms. I want to make a map kind of like paraparamax where the background pictures change at a certain point and less shorter. I'm seeing numbers all over tha place.
Example in the paraparamax file
4,0,0,"evangelion_20_640.jpg",0,0 <--- What's that 4 at the beginning for?
F,0,23280,24050,0,1 <--- F must mean fade, are 23280,24050 the offsets? and the 0's and 1 the x,y value thingymajig? Yes, it does. According to the first post
F,0,219970,221300,1,0 <----- So why is there a second line here? What is this for? Or do I even need this line. (Main Question)
This is what I have so far.
//Storyboard Layer 0 (Background)
0,0,"Remilia and Flandre.jpg" <---- Yeah I know, it's nothing. But what should I add to it. That 4 at the beginning?
Edit: Ah ok, After much study, I've begun to learn how it works
Which takes me to:
//Storyboard Layer 0 (Background)
4,0,0,"Remilia and Flandre.jpg",0,0
F,1,41433,96988,0,1
4,0,0,"Remila-Flandre-Sakuya.jpg",0,0
F,1,97155,122988,0,1 blah blah
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?

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

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.Mafiamaster wrote:

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

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

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)Mafiamaster wrote:

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