I made a bulk of the original transitions. BBB made some as well. The youtube page still has the preview vids I created. The actual transitions need to be FLV files with transparency and you have to include a flash cue point named "transition" (if I remember correctly) which lets HS know when to switch backgrounds. You want the cue point to be at the point in the video where the entire screen is obscured. HTH.

I am specifically talking about FE authors that took all the art that HS members produced and put it into their products. I think the most blatant rip off was Atomic FE with their "HyperSkins" but there were others that followed. It didn't matter because HS always had many more features. Again, not the reason why I stopped but still annoying nonetheless.

The good ole days Just speaking from personal experience, but I just got burned out after awhile. I still haven't even built an arcade machine yet...but plan to this year when my basement is finished. Then maybe I can finally experience some of my themes and all the incredible work I have seen others produce over the past 6-7 years. Number 4 definitely doesn't help. I see a ton of my work on other FE's, being distributed, etc. It did not remove me from the scene, but I wasn't happy about it either. I used AE for a few of my themes...I think Street Fighter 4 and couple of others. I also used AE for all of the transition packs you guys use. The problem with exporting FLVs from AE is every frame is rendered so back in the day, when HS was not as optimized, it would choke on these parts. I think you are the only one I remember from the old days. Alot people forget the forum before this one (pre 2009). Man have things changed...for the better.

Also I believe I used Team Spirit for the HyperPin logo...again it was modified a bit. http://www.dafont.com/team-spirit.font?text=HyperPin

Font is called Spin Cycle. I modified it a little bit for the logo. http://www.dafont.com/spin-cycle.font?text=HyperSpin
