Title: [solved - there is] is there a trick "datatbase" with replay and gif animantion?
Post by: aik on August 15, 2016, 01:56 PM
Ahoi!

I always used http://faw-wa.tk/school_basic_tricks.html (http://faw-wa.tk/school_basic_tricks.html) for looking up how to do tricks, witch I don't know from memory.
But the site seems to be down… replaced by some "you're the 1,000,000th visitor"-site.

Is there an alternative? Will Freestyle AnyWhere reup the site?

How do you make these very clean gifs? I know the frame extracting part but I can't find the best program to cut it the way I need and compile it, help?

Don't know how WTF-8 did it, but I use http://www.imagemagick.org/ (http://www.imagemagick.org/) for (batch) cropping, scaling etc.
And https://www.lcdf.org/gifsicle/ for gifs.

Both gifs in this thread are incorrect.  An inlaw ends lower than it starts.  On that corner, bounce off the top lightly and reattach to the same corner you were attached to or lower down the side.  This was commonly used at the start of many old rope race maps and it was a common trick practiced while warming.

Ye - like in the Video rUNaW4y posted
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evhqOnIjB4

ExZo is able to explain you it for sure :V

But I think what Kaleu and ExZo posted is what is meant on the particular map - "modified inlaw". On the map it sais - "manny tricks are performed in an unusual manner"…

So thx Kaleu & ExZo – I get it now  ;)
Also thanks for links and stuff all others =)

I don't think what those two posted is what is meant, considering there's a red section meant for attachment right at the inlaw spot.  The video to which you referred is correct, though it doesn't show the setup.

Hmm… but the direction you have to go on the map kinda implies the way it's done in the gifs…

If you (or anyone else) would like to show a better/correct way – https://wmdb.org/maps/27727 is the map I played on (the "inlaw" is in the middle of the "T" in the first section).

An inlaw ends lower than it starts.
No idea where did you get this from

On that corner, bounce off the top lightly and reattach to the same corner you were attached to or lower down the side.
Then what's the purpose of those red lines at the top?

btw
http://wmdb.org/16271 to the right of LG arch
http://wmdb.org/15819 slightly below start
http://wmdb.org/24374 to the right of start
All these maps have similar inlaws where that "rule" (inlaw ends lower than it starts) clearly doesn't apply. Maybe this rule WAS an actual thing in the past, I don't know, but nowadays it's not.

It is just part of the definition of an inlaw, not only as displayed on IBB's original rope tricks guide, but also practiced by all ropers in ~1998-2002 when the majority of these tricks were invented.  Definitions change, I understand, but I prefer the original definition, in which an inlaw is strictly something meant for descending a vertical wall without using external attachments, as a quicker and trickier alternative to the flagpole.

Thanks for the backup, Wally.  I knew there was at least one other person around when the inlaw was defined.  :)

Check the guides Korydex linked, which are the older trick guides (IBB's, TonY's, and DarkOne's).  Notice that inlaw is defined in the same way in each one.

Not agree!

Definitions will change in time, like OldSchool schemes, when banana is add in RR and LG in Hysteria!

So I will say this is a sexy inlaw too, even it don't ends lower than it starts 8)

(http://sw.16mb.com/inlaw.gif)

So this also provides several variations, which is more fun to perform tricks :D

You have to admit though, adding banana to rope race is pretty stupid.

No - It gives more energy. It's logic. :o

Logic would be to put 40 sec turn, not 30+nana.
It's stupid and no one likes it :)

Standard RR scheme is 30 sec.

So why is banana added, if no one like it? :o

Because someone was stupid once and other stupid people decided to follow in the stupid footsteps.  Sensei is exactly right.  If you want a 40-second turn timer, set the turn timer to 40 seconds instead of adding arbitrary retreat time which doesn't show a timer and doesn't start at the same time on each turn.
