TEASER - Proffieboard Fully Customizable Color Change and Effect Change

[Fett263]

We've begun beta testing on new Proffieboard features that enable both color change and effect change on the fly. These features will be fully customizable, you can choose as many colors as you want, you can set multiple colors and effects within a single preset and toggle through them on the fly, yo can set the sound effects you want for each and run different sound effects for each font/preset. You will be able to set the default color and effect for each preset individually. In addition, there are multiple configurations and controls possible. And since each preset can be styled individually you can have one preset with a full spectrum of ROYGBIV colors and a full library of effects to cycle through and on another you can build just Jedi colors and effects and yet another can run Sith colors and effects. You'll also be able to mix colors so you can set up blades with 2,3,4,5 color mixes or gradients for truly unique blades. You can also customize your blast, clash and lockup effects so you can have the blast on your red saber be blue and then your green and blue sabers show red, etc. Any color or effect in your preset can be set up to be changed on the fly.

Using either ColorScroll<> or EffectScroll<> you will be able to set up a scrolling menu option or create a continuously running Demo Mode. Both ColorScroll<> and EffectScroll<> have a display time parameter that you set, if you want to create a scrolling menu you would set a display time, then enter Scroll Mode to run through and then Select to lock in the color or effect and use the saber for regular use. Or you can set a longer display time and then enter Scroll Mode and leave it running on your shelf, at an event or anywhere else and have a Demo Mode. And at any time you can pick the saber up, Select the current color/style and continue using it. You can step in and out of Scroll mode anytime as often as you like and since each preset is individual you can have a preset the runs a quick Scroll Mode and another that runs a longer Demo Mode of all the cool colors and effects you're running.
