new POCO
"POCO program called RandCel"
I must have missed this (by the way, sorry I am late on this thread. I was
away for a few days). It looks great! I hope that Marc and Dave take a look
at it. Good options, including being able to do it over a single frame.
I notice that it's presented as shareware. Did you get any money from this?
For a wishlist (this is to Dave as well): I would like to use my mouse to
position the cel over the frames. If I could use the draw tool and write my
name "live" over frames… Sorta like playing back a macro but have the effect
be a playable animation. (It wouldn't have to be *my* name – it could be
someone else's!)
Also – I notice that at 320×200 some of the dialogue options are off the edge
of the screen a little. There were a couple of very long horizontal options
that would have been better if they were shorter. I realize that you haven't
worked on this for a while and aren't soliciting feedback, but I was excited by
the effect of watching the screen build up with the cel. One last thing – I
probably would modify the routine's messages with the thought of someone using
it frequently. There are a couple of phrases that I would get tired of reading
again!
I will make sure that Mark Gerhard (product manager) is aware of these
routines. I believe he is still away though. I have estimated that there are
2 POCO users out there – looks like I was wrong!
