Dancer Archive

I did a search on this and only came accross how TC had one position, but TC5 had 3 transitions per breakdance.

Is there a way to do the transitions for breakdancing on the Live Server yet?

Thanks for your help as I cannot figure out how to do it yet if it IS possible.

What exactly do you mean by 'the transitions'? Transitions into what?

With the new dance - breakdance there are 3 "modes" I guess you can call them for each dance. One is the default standing mode, another os a crouching mode and the third is a floor mode. Eash one has its own flourishes and everything. The transition I speak of is the move that takes you from one mode to the other. And it isn't seperate dances either. The berakdancing video shows these transitions and all flourishes.

No answer? I will the transition!!!

My dancer must be bugged none of my flourishes looked like that lastnight. Ill try again after server reset to see what they look like.

The break dance on TC, TC5 or anywhere never had the transitions displayed in that video. The dance the video portrays cannot be danced using the current system. The current system only supports 8 flourishes per dance. The break dance video contains 3 'positions', 8 flourishes per position, 6 transitions (1->2, 2->3, 2->1, 2->3, 3->1, 3-2) and 3 taunts. It was never danceable in this configuration. The video was made on 26th August 2004, long long before the dances even appeared on any of the test servers. Clicky.

I assume the vid was done by a Dev and they can trigger the flourishes and falls and all of it manually I guess. Kinda sucks.

What sucks especially is, that if the video was really made in August 2003, that means this dance was finished for over one and a half year before they decided to give it to us.
Wonder what else is "ready and in the shelf" to just throw to us, to silence us once more

With luck they will continue to add dances they have captured animations for. This may result in a breakdance 3 and 4 for all we know. Send feedback, tell em we want them.

Ahh OK, I understand now.

I always thought of myself as a knowledgable and experienced dancer so when everyone but me started talking about "transitions" -- something I have never heard of before -- I began to wonder... But if Pickles never heard of them before either, then I know it's not just me, since he's one of the most knowledgable members of our community.

I agree - I think the other positions on that video are future dances that have not been added yet, like there are several versions of exotic. There were a whole bunch of dances people pulled vids of the tre files (I assume) that we have not seen or heard hint of yet.

Here is the link to the vidoes

Well, I've been called worse before so I can't complain I guess But no, I am just a player as yourself. Or rather, I was until I quit. Now I am just a forum lurker.
