I was just messing around with the disc and trying everything out, and it’s ok. Some of the color edits are kind of whack!
Michael Jackson goes considerably well with marvel. :woot:
Didn’t realize you were compiling different mixes, or I would have chimed in sooner. I don’t really have any color edits myself, but I’ve been working on what I consider to be the BEST trance mix to date. Once I’m done i’ll have to post it up.
colors are HAWT
music is kinda wack IMO and mostly too low anyway.
on a side note
toodles get the THIS NIGGA IS THE MAN award for even putting the iso up in the first place, not to mention figuring this out.
way to be ungrateful
Toodles did a heck of a job. mad props to him for compiling it.
It’s only ok because the color edits and music are pretty bad.
For most people using the Echelon method, the first session is burning the audio.raw file. (I use the 45000 LBA technique on my discs; from my experience, they boot more reliably. Instead of having the first session be an audio track, I make it a data track, containing files like normal. The bitch of it is that you want the make the first session .iso file EXACTLY the right size needed so that after you burn it, the ‘cdrecord -msinfo’ commandtells you exactly ‘0,45000’. Since having a multisession disc added 11402 sectors of data, that means your first .iso should be (45000-11402)=33,598 sectors in size, which is (33,598*2048)=68,808,704 bytes in size. You can be under, and then pad out the file so it becomes exactly that size, or you can mix and match files until you get the magic number. Make sure to use the ‘-M first.iso’ switch when making the second .iso so it knows to include the files on the first iso.)
The second session is the big iso file, usually called data.iso. An IP.BIN, a 32k file you’ll find on any DC disc, needs to be ‘inserted’ into the .ISO, usually using a program from the Echelon pack called IPINS.EXE
I assume you’re clear on this one. 
ay more tech lingo.
Now I know how people feel when I talk about cooking and food. 
man, there were some really really ugly color edits at evo
Specific criticisms is probably more helpful (Dear Sirs, While Mango Sentinel Was Most Excellent, I Felt That Guava Sentinel Was A Tragic Mistake) so that people know exactly what you’re talking about. =\
what is guava? lol
Guava is awesome. You may have had it in POG (Pineapple-Orange-Guava) juice. Green on the outside, bright pink on the inside.
Nobody had a guava Sentinel that I know of, but that’s my point - we don’t know what y2j didn’t like so far.
potter vs toan MM is a pretty good example. lots of oversaturated outfits with ridiculous colors. why in the world would you make a bright green storm with a bright purple face? just a lot of colors that are offensive to the eyes.
a lot of people also don’t choose different enough colors when working with shadows, so you end up with ‘blocky’ colors if that makes any sense. example:
^ there isnt enough contrast in the grays so in-game it ends up almost looking like one solid color
and i havent gone through the entire thread, but i know there was talk about how special moves shouldn’t be altered because they might be hard to see, and there was definitely some of that at evo.
“just because you can doesn’t mean you should”
although there was one really good mix that i saw. there was a cable with light orange grenades/viper beams and it looked really good from what i remember. i wouldn’t mind seeing the rest of those edits, but i dont know who the game belonged to.
just to clarify my garbage between everyone elses.
some colors mine consisted of…
more…
[i just noticed]
i’m a spam whore. lol.
Spam rocks, Jonny. Damn anyone who says different.
As we go forward and people provide input, PLEASE provide as much detail as possible - whose mix, what applicable button color, exactly what’s wrong. That’d be very useful if things are to improve.
I’ll check the archives for crazy Joker storm. I hate that kind of thing, but other people might not, and that’s where the disc has tons of options. (That plus Toodles is god.)
Geronimo’s Evo colors + Pablo’s Music=Someone else’s colors
That happening to anyone else?
Preppy I would like any input you may have on my matching colors mix. I don’t know if you read the longwinded post I directed at Geronimo, but I want to direct it toward you and anyone else, also. I can get the mix to anyone who wants it.
My eyes were literally watering trying to watch the crappy YouTube quality video with extra dark characters, so after watching ~3 videos, here’s my quick thoughts:
If this mix came to my place I’d throw it out - it’s just too dark, contrasting, and sparkly. No offense: it just doesn’t work for me. It might for others. 
Here are some codes for a couple of Magnuses.
Pink and Lunar Blue
(#10000F111FFFFFFCEFFADFF7AFE59FFD9FFA8FD87FA51FCEFF5AFF47FF46CF35B)
Black and Gold
(#10000F111FFFFF555F222F111F000FFD9FFA8FD87FA51FFFFFEE9FED2FC80F950)
Dumb question, but how are you guys saving these edits as .png files and putting them on photobucket?
Hey Pablo I played your mix its pretty cool
for improvement purposes; can i get some critisism?
edit: coos coos - you can to take a screen capture i.e., on my laptop the command is alt+fn+prtsc then open paintbrush and paste. save as “whatever” and change the file extension to png instead of jpg.
hope that helps.
IIRC, check my EVO2k8 mix, A2 w/ Sentinel.
Also - assuming he’s talking about my mix, 'cuz I had the exact Storm color - I completely agree w/ what ytwojay is saying about messing w/ Storm’s skin color…I don’t like it. The only reason I did it was because that’s what fugee asked for.
There’s also a good chance that that orange Cable was also mine.
Hope that helps.
EDIT: After playing on the fugee request mix…I actually have the inverse of the Storm color mentioned. But I’m still assuming it’s my mix ytwojay is referring too.
