User blog:Kain McBride/Transitions - Naming Conventions...

Alright guys, I've got a bit of a problem... That is to say, I've got no idea what to label these transitions as... so here's what I've got, would love your opinions on it to see what kind of names we can come up with here... I'm sure there are "actual" transition names, I'm just not aware of them... :p

Notes: Transitions are used when putting images on the screen, they apply to sprites and backgrounds; so if you'd like to test them yourself in a test side story; that's where to put them when you're testing...

0 - Instant (effects only the text window picture, unless there's no current background) 1 - Instant (whole screen) 2 - Full Blinds (left to right) 3 - Full Blinds (right to left) 4 - Full Blinds (top to bottom) 5 - Full Blinds (bottom to top) 6 - Blinds Swipe (left to right) 7 - Blinds Swipe (right to left) 8 - Blinds Swipe (top to bottom) 9 - Blinds Swipe (bottom to top) 10 - Dissolve (additive blend..? I dunno... you tell me...) 11 - Slide (left to right) 12 - Slide (right to left) 13 - Slide (top to bottom) 14 - Slide (bottom to top)

''now, these are the names that popped into my head when I was testing them, though I know there's a specific name for them, and I know that my names aren't exactly perfect, so I'd really love your input on them all; especially 10 'cause I'm not sure if it's dissolve or additive blend, or something else completely..? lol''

bonus question: ''dream state: Luka has a dream or flash back, there's waves and stuff... anyone know how to do this without crashing the game? I know the transition number is 99, I know it doesn't work... I know there's a side call beyond the background change but, no idea if it's possible to make it happen from within a side story... any information would be awesome, thanks... :)''
