It's possible, no doubt. But would someone really want longer start-up time for this? If not, we could always put an option in the settings bar to set animated loading or not

Loading really differs per song and computer, I'd say just animate the loader but no longer time, as it basically is just to polish up the loading screen and no more. Don't forget that people want to play the song and not watch the loading screen. I'm sure many people like a longer loading time, but it'd get quite boring after a while, unless you'd go with multiple randomly chosen animated loading screens but even that would get boring eventally. I'd say just animate it and be done with it.

For the 'you rock' thing I still stick to the idea of dynamically resizing it, no animated png required for that, just a little more code.

How about instead of animating it, implent like 100 Catch Phrases as in Guitar Hero. The loading wouldnt be boring anymore...

Already happened, check alarian/MFH mod section and dl the newest version/patch

[Razlo7]

newest hotfix only has like 8 phrases lol you can add more if you feel like especially ones like:::
"Wearing a bucket on your head won't improve your playing, or will it?" :p quote from GH2 loading screen.

[dadudemandude]

Yeah, but then in fact the animated loading isn't really that much needed anymore with the phrases around.

When you look at the hitflames and star notes you can't really do that for loading screens. You should look at how the stages are done for animation, this way you can have a loading screen with as little as 3 frames to something as large as 50. This way you aren't forced to make the animated loading pic 10 (or whatever number was decided) frames long.

[zauLLo22]

i think only 3 frames are needed...
...
yep, i'm noob...

[polloloco]

Well then screw the loading screen that is not a main thing i am really thinking about lets talk more about the " you rock" look at guitar zero they have one exactly like guitar hero 2 if guitar zero can do that ( being a not so advanced game) im sure we can make it for frets on fire. FOF FTW!!!

[zauLLo22]

YEAH!
Frets on Fire RULEZ!
we only need some motivation...

[Razlo7]

actually it would only take about 5-12 frames... 5 would look somewhat skippy considering theres so little frames but 12 would look great (and it would a really small thing to load)

What is one of the most famous coders if any in this forum ??

[Razlo7]

MFH is probably most famous because he created MFH-Alarian (includes TONS of coding).
I doubt he would want to do something like this though

[polloloco]

Man y not this is sick he'd tottaly do it ima ask him right now
