xTransition Plugin - Testers wanted

by **m_ski** on Thu Jan 18, 2007 5:39 pm

xTransition is a new plugin I have developed which animates transitions between screens and overlays, using a fade, slide or wipe, improving the xlobby experience. It means an overlay can smoothly fade in and fade out, or a screen can gracefully slide off the edge of your display with the next screen being revealed behind it.

I am looking for a few people willing to do a little bit of beta testing before I release more generally to the whole community. It will involve making some changes to your skin to incorporate xTransition and feeding back how well it all works.

Thanks to those who have already done some testing for me but I think I need a few more test systems before I release publicly.

If you want to contribute send me an email titled 'xTransition Testing' to;

xTransition[at]skillingDOTmeDOTuk

Thanks in advance.

BTW this is good idea... i was just wondering would it be cool if actual transitions would also be plugins for your plugin... im pretty sure there already are some well known architectures which have pluggedable transitions, so if u make your plugin to accept those... well imagine possibilities for customization...

I have thought a bit about that but have not investigated any further at present, the plugin just includes the transitions mentioned above. Maybe later...

Hey, was this ever made public?

I just realize that my skin woks only with xTransition :-)

so those that download it won't have fill functionality w/o this plugin...

Not public yet but I think I am just about ready. I just have a couple of issues with the latest xlobby.exe which I need to check out and hopefully fix.

Works fine on my setup with the latest Xlobby. The only slight problem is that, before the animation is performed, it displays some dots (hard to describe), but this is not very much visible on TV.
