beware's DDR background video pack 2013

i made available the riyu videos in my most recent update to the release candidate. they are in the current pack, and also offered as a separate zip for who already has the pack.

the filenames should be what they were originally so existing scripts work.

two scripts that use these:

Downloaded them.

What is Cube11 used in? There's surely a reason it got in the 2005 pack.

that's a good one. no script that i have uses cube11. i don't know. it's in my 2005 pack because it was in the packs i based it on (ollec, magmariox, etc). being actually used in a script i have was never a requirement. but for new vids i find/add, i like to know what song uses it, to be sure that it's a "legitimate" or "real" bg video.

Oh, okay.

I asked that because there's a theory that in the 2005 pack, you recorded 1P and 2P, then mixed them together, yet if no song uses it, it seems impossible to grab in that way.

Cube11 is jserta officially. It is only found on the 7thMIX arcade disc (as far as the arcade mixes are concerned). It's most likely part of a script for a song that is exclusive to 7thMIX, or a song that got an updated script in EXTREME due to that video no longer being on the disc.

i decided to include the hardcore washables into the pack because they are similar in nature to the riyu videos, and to be sure of their availability/preservation. this also fixes their naming in the "old" naming standard. if you already have the pack, you can download the separate zip for it, see the opening post.

the videos come of course from pkgingo & AeronPeryton's arcade video rips.

and the script:

I made some un-official BGMovies for you here.

Boy3A; Actual movie of Boy3/4

Floor1A; Actual movie of Floor1

Ring13A; Un-official Ring13 that loops

Ring13R; Ring13A in reverse

Robot14A; Actual movie of Robot14.

All except the un-official Ring13 are pulled from pkgingo & AeronPeryton's arcade video rips. I made Ring13 by taking the normal video, cutting off the pingpong part, taking a snapshot of frame 1, and faded Ring13 into the snapshot.

ring13r would really have to be called ring13ar (the reverse of ring13a). also remember i standardized on everything lowercase. anyway, i don't appreciate what you're doing, you risk derailing things/introducing chaos. i've started to find you annoying for pushing yourself long ago.

Oh. I'm sorry beware, it's just I'm excited. Alright, I won't do that again.

i renamed two videos (this is a beta/RC period so renames can still happen). text26a -> text28; disturb1 -> text29

i also added (as far as i can think of) every "missing" vid for which i don't know what uses it, making up reasonably appropriate and, as far as i can tell, unique, names for them, and a number of "original" videos of videos.

So the pack is complete? Nothing else will be added?

hopefully. but it's not a release until i call it one. i'll wait a little longer. when i release it, all those individual files will be gone and there's only the pack to download, and i'll get it mirrored like the old pack, and "rc1" will be gone from the filename.

Alright.

Do you own DDR Festival? You might find sources of visualizations in it (which isn't doubtable, considering it has Boy5a, Beads2, Puppet3, etc.)

Also, I have suspicions Kaliedoscope15, Cube11, and Eggs5 are used in DDRMAX2 Arcade.


Anyway beware, there's at least one more you need; kangaroo1r.

can you tell me which songs on max2 ac use those missing vids?

as for kangaroo1r: i can either add a kangaroo1r, or add two vids which will result in the whole simulation being more compact:

- kangaroo1b: showing two kangaroos (like kangaroo1a, but completing the animation)
- kangaroo1c: showing 3 kangaroos

now one can script the song with repeating kangaroo1b where one formerly used kangaroo1a, and using kangaroo1c, kangaroo1b, and kangaroo1 one after another to get the "reverse" video.

How do I know? I've never seen them in the Max2 AC in YouTube vids, nor have I ever played one. I'm just saying they are the Max2 type, because they have a pattern/texture that changes, sometimes reflecting the background.


I'll go with Kangaroo1B/C.

I need "Lady21?".
This movie in "WAITING FOR TONIGHT"(CS FESTIVAL).

it's probably only on the ddr festival disc, which i don't have/didn't rip. my interest in it is limited (it has not been on an arcade in the max-ex era, the song is a western license, etc)

It would also be on the American EXTREME disc.

i don't have that one either.

AeronPeryton: do you recognize any of the videos of which i don't know which songs they appear in? see the opening post, i added a number more videos yesterday. if you don't know the songs, can you say which arcade disc/discs they appeared on?


ok i am looking at getting the "lady21" vid. i cannot promise i will be successful.

edit: "lady21" doesn't come alone. the song (waiting for tonight) uses 3 specific vids - "lady21", a mixed version of water1, and a mixed version of wind1, and atleast 2 cuts of "lady21" (A/B). this is a song specific, console specific, video set. this is outside the scope of what i'm doing - if i do this, i'm worried about what else i need to include too, and it will be a lot more work, and the pack will become much bigger. this is not what i originally intended, i have to take an all or nothing stance here.
