Investigating Transition Behavior in Movie Sprites

TL;DR:

It doesn't work like what you'd usually do with 2D sprites:

show testchar uniform neutral with dissolve
show testchar uniform smiling with dissolve

The MSC works by automatically playing a set idle animation after playing an "active" animation, e.g. winking to idle. A tested fix (and still testing) looks like this:

ms_pause = Pause(0.5)
ms_dissolve = Dissolve(0.5)

renpy.show(ani_action, at_list=[location])
renpy.with_statement(transition, always=True)
renpy.pause(delay=ani_len)
renpy.show(ani_idle)
#renpy.with_statement(ms_pause, always=True)
#renpy.with_statement(ms_dissolve, always=True)

But no... it didn't work as planned. It seems in order to achieve a smooth transition between active and idle states is ending the active animation smoothly, not abruptly. A good example of this in the MSC code is "epsilon wink_png". 

I'll try to test some more transition classes, particularly the MultipleTransition class. The next update will feature refined code and PEP8 convention because standards.


TL:DRs aren't supposed to be placed at the start of your post fam. 

Hi /evn/!

I need a new ISP if I want to stay in the loop.

/evn/ is 4chan /vg/'s general for English Visual Novels (EVN) or some would call it OELVN. Welp. I get jumpy when somebody mentions me or my projects but then I can't really reply right away since I need to appeal every fucking time.

Meanwhile, at KanColle

I'd probably choose Yamashiro this time. Oh wait, it's always been Yamashiro lol.

I'd buy one.

Shiratsuyu's back with her summer outfit.  

What the fuck am I doing with my spare time?

When You Play Your Genre

When you're fresh off of steam and just brought the Wargame bundle. 30+ hours in and I'm already unproductive as fuck, to the point of disregarding my KanMusus. Also, with Yoku's return, the gamedev life might start again for me. @.@ Welp. Funny thing is I kinda wasted funds for all my projects on waifus, food, glasses, some appliances, Steam games.

Fucking A.

Hey, It's a KanColle Post!

KanColle's most dignified, studious, diligent honor student destroyer finally gets her own kai ni, Asashio. Asashio is the third ship in her class to receive a second upgrade. Like Ooshio and Kasumi before her, she gets two versions, the first version which is the one shown, is centered on firepower, while the other upgrade is more on anti-aircraft.

She actually doesn't come with any equipment. 10cm HAs and Type-13 Kai are from stocks.

It was a good day to keep this class of destroyers. It's a year and a month since I started playing KanColle. Asashio is the 61st ship I padlocked, and I never expected any of her class to have second upgrades before they're relatively newer ships compared to the Mutsuki and Fubuki classes.

PEP8: What now?

First part of rewriting Sheepstorm is complete. The first part was actually just migrating from the usual # comments in Ren'Py to the prescribed """ blocks inside python blocks. 

Funny thing is I did in during work hours. Somebody's incompetence actually has benefits, like seriously, my coworker didn't report today as some sort of labor strike against the most incompetent tech support staff he had seen in his entire life. It takes them a week to look at an obvious hardware problem but what to they do? Just look the fuck at it. No recommendations whatsoever. What? Will it take another week to replace the PC itself? Jesus, takes them forever to fucking replace a mouse. F-O-R-E-V-E-R.

Well, as long as this coworker of mine isn't done with his part of the system we're developing, I'm free as fuck. So I went ahead and installed Ren'Py at my workstation and it fucking worked. Filthy techies can't even get their admin rights correctly. 

Also, I keep getting banned at 4chan for my ISP's constant use of proxy caches. Well, for those who are waiting for Sheepstorm 1.0, feel free to comment here or send me an email via the contact form to the right of this screen.

Next part of the PEP8 problem would be renaming variables and functions to conform with conventions. Geez, I just love conforming, it makes the world so much easier for almost everyone. Ayy lmao.
