If you have to lie or manipulate to get your point across, your point wasn't very sharp in the first place

@DoeMillow The way I do it is I homing attack at the flat, horizontal bit at the bottom. This gives you a ton of speed to either jump off or just fall off the end of the rail As for hitting it, it's just homing attacking at the right distance to "fall" onto that bit during the attack

You know what I hate? THESE THINGS I know my skill issue is involved but damn is so hard to me to just land on those floating rails. It takes forever to get it right. It frustrates me so much!!!

@DoeMillow They may have had a more zoomed out camera at some point for that scene, yeah. The effort wasn't that much though, it probably barely took a few seconds to add it - not like it needed animating, she doesn't move. There's more examples of them using shadows off-screen too

@shaddatic Very interesting. The fact that they added these shadow volumes in first place gives more hints that they might had the camera angle planned different in this cut or something. If not why bother with these details?

Did you know? Maria's cutscene model in SA2 is barefoot. For some reason they conveniently placed a solid black texture on top of them.

@DoeMillow If you enable the "Draw Modifier Models" debug setting in RF, you can actually see what they look like in-game too - although they're translucent rather than blacked out

@DoeMillow This is what it looks like in-game

Doesn't the word 'Profession' inherently imply the existence of an 'Antifession'? Because if so, I'm an antifessional at many things - some may even call me the best!

@_SamsungMob1le_ No, that's the job of Volume Controls. In fact we often told people to edit the Cutscene Revamp mod files to remove its quieter audio, as Volume Controls made it too quiet. So just get Volume Controls, that should fix it

@shaddatic will there be an option to help tweak the audio for cutscenes? since the audio in them are still too loud. its the only reason why i dont use the mod, since cutscene revamp and volume controls arent compatible. as well as characters still yapping over eachother

I'm currently working on RF 1.5.3, getting one last minor update out before fully returning to ECW! I know it's been a while, but I have been working on things behind the scenes - and I'm so excited to show you all when the time comes! #sonicadventure2 #chao

Okay, who ruined it?

This is it, I can retire now

@exonblaze As for CR. It's the default settings in that case, 'Overlays' being on 'Stretch' and 'Movies'/FMVs being on 'Fit'

@exonblaze The descriptions do explain, but: 'Overlays' are the basic video effects that play over events, think explosions or electricity effects. 'Movies' are the full FMV cutscenes.

@exonblaze 'Fit' just puts the video on screen as large as possible, with no distortion - black bars are expected. 'Stretch' pulls the video horizontally to fill the screen, but leaves everything looking squished vertically

@shaddatic Could you please explain what “fit” and “stretch” are for “Overlay Fill mode” and “Movie Fill” in the RF 1.5 config What are “Overlays” anyway, and which option is closest to the Cutscene Revamp and best for 16:9 events in RF 1.5 (I’m going for the best 16:9 Widescreen Events)

@DaBigJ_Twit ECW doesn't have anything like that. I think you mean CWE and the CWE API

@shaddatic I actually have a question about ECW and Chaos in general How can I make a custom character chao model?

@shawnleeguku @DoeMillow What is "sex-negative"? I've never heard of that before. All I saw was him make a bunch of outfits for Rouge, then ask people to not be weird about it, then make a joking post about "gooners" with one of those models he made.

@shaddatic @DoeMillow Even stripping away the misunderstandings, he made a sex-negative statement and he's sticking by that. He wants to control how people feel and react to his content and it seems to frustrate him that he can't do that.

What bothers me the most about this whole Rouge discourse is that I also am a woman with big boobs. Should I be ashamed of my body? Am I condemned to cover myself because of what others think about me? Am I not allowed to be sexy?

@shawnleeguku @DoeMillow He probably is frustrated tbf, nobody is listening to him and calling him things that he isn't - or just being racist. But considering he can just log off of Twitter at any time, I'd hope he's having fun here and not trying to put on a face

@shaddatic @DoeMillow To me it comes across like he's frustrated and trying to laugh it off, like he's trying too hard to prove how not bothered he is. I barely know the dude, I think he's making an ass of himself but if one of my friends were acting like this I'd check in with them.

@DoeMillow @shawnleeguku He probably should chill a little, yeah, he doesn't need to respond to every reply. But at the same time, they're going to hate him either way so I guess he's just having fun while he's here. He kinda can't say anything productive at this point

@shaddatic @shawnleeguku I guess getting attention, no matter if it's good or bad is fun for him?

@DoeMillow @shawnleeguku Is it crashing if he's enjoying himself though? He seems pretty chipper atm. Not saying what he's doing is right or wrong, but he seems quite pleased with himself

@shaddatic @shawnleeguku Uh. He's definitely crashing. He's trapped into a vortex of hate replies and making it worse for himself.

@shawnleeguku @DoeMillow I don't really see him crashing out right now, he's having fun with people who are refusing to read his words. He's being called some awful things for something he didn't say, and something I know he doesn't believe. Maybe I'm too autistic to understand this lol

@shaddatic @DoeMillow He's still at it, from the looks of things. Might be a good idea to check in on your friend and see if he's okay.

@DoeMillow There's no way you could've known where the game's rendering would go, or what any of the materials did before they were restored. So, I don't blame any modder for getting it wrong. 💜 But I assure you, it's all done now! For 'sa2mdl' models, at least

@shaddatic oh that extended texture limit sounds awesome 👀 And thank god I'm safe to proceed. I don't want to break things again

@DoeMillow You're totally safe, dw! From here there's nothing I can change about models that will break anything new. Touch wood anyway lol The update just adds a few more things for code modders to draw, and extends the texture limit of the game (2048->4096~8192)

@shaddatic This looks great! Quick question. Should I wait for this update to fix my mods or am I safe to do it now?
