Scene Transitions? (wipes, dissolves, fx, etc..)

Just curious how everyone does these. Or if you have any ideas, etc. Thanks.

I found these in the code archives

I've not tried them but they sound like what you are after.

edit - there was this as well.

I've got fade in/out from black (from white would be easy) using a full-screen transparent rect drawn over everything. I've also done a cross-fade by drawing a full-screen image at an alpha level over a solid full-screen image. That's really all I've done. Of course when then new screen appears you can make UI elements slide into place.

fade in/out from black is just as easy - just use SHADEBLEND.
