sectTrans.lua: Screen wide fade effects when section-switch

[JustOneMGuy]

Hi,

I made a lua script file that adds cross-fade effects when switching sections. Also adds a fade-from-black effect when starting a level.

Spoiler: show

Instructions for use:
Load it in your lunaworld.lua/luna.lua/lunadll.lua file using this:

Code: Select all

API.load("sectTrans")

No extra steps needed. Feedbacks are appreciated, as always.

This looks amazing! Nicely done.

[Daring Tombstone]

Nice. I never thought about something like this but looks really good.

I wrote the wrong line in the post to load the library lol. Fixed.

A good and simple use of the capture buffer. Only thing I will say is that API.load, lunadll.lua and lunaworld.lua shouldn't really be used now. Keep it up!

to add to this, I will say:

add to luna.lua

Code: Select all

local sectTrans = require("sectTrans")

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong though.

Looks like a nice script though. I need to refresh myself on capture-buffers come beta 4.

Why "lunaworld.lua" file isn't needed?

You should just have a luna.lua file in your episode folder now, it doesn't need to be called lunaworld.lua.

Update 1.0.1:
1. Adds a fade effect when exiting a level.

Suggestion, add an option for fade to black on warp transitions as opposed to the cross fade.

That's more difficult to do, so I am sticking with the crossfade effect for now.

This is pretty simple, but cool. It might be useful for levels that have some kind of parallel world, sothat it transitions smoothly.
