need sum help...
I can't seem to fix the inner line inside the square, and that moving practicle isn't doing nuch good either...

Doh!
forgot to attach...

There's a glitch on all of your attachments...Make sure you use .zip, not some odd wxp format that microsoft made so that people would buy the OS even though it sucks big fat testicles. (Unless you're already using that format, in which case it might be your account - even your screen name might be a problem (with the :-c, and all) :igor: )

eh-huh? cant dload it at all here?

good call on the big fat testicles there... xp is crap. in fact microsoft is generally crap for anything these days... (fondly remembers win 3.1) escpecially visual basic.net, the first version of vb in which it is actually easier to do the same thing in c++

:(

it's added in zip format
Sorry, my mistake... WinZip screwed up again... :mad:

I first added the file in avs-format, because its a few Kb already..
but that didn't seem to work so I zipped just that preset.

I'll add it tonight, since i'm here at school without the preset and without WinAmp...

this one should really work... i hope
This one must really work

:rolleyes: please tell me how I can get rid of those lines in the middle :rolleyes:

zipped in winamp 8.0
all my files are zipped in WinZip 8.0
I hear there are a lot of problems with them those, but i can open them without any problems, at home as well as at school, so I can't figure out what could be the problem...

If it still doesn't work i will have to try getting a newer version of WinZip or something... tell me if the download works so I know what to do to make it work (the same problem occurred with my pack)


thanks

As I suspected it is your stupid syntax that is causing this.

Don't use the ; etc in the filename as no doubt they act as a delimiter of some sort in the forums and screwing it all up.

Geez.....

thanks, i'll try using my other name - Rattaplan - instead

and BTW ,Rovastar, i am able to download your milkdrop-thing, or whatever it is (i'm not familair with it) even with the ; without any problem


5th September 2002 19:07 UTC

here's the rattaplan version

:) so just change the filename first.

Far too quick with your last post too but not quick enough at the edit button. SIgh telling me to stay on topic. The shame on you.:);)


5th September 2002 19:15 UTC

Yeap that new attachment is all fine.


5th September 2002 19:24 UTC

sorry... :cool:

Back to topic...

You don't want anything inside the square and your using the last moving particle as a mask, but are not hapy with the results. Am I right?

yeah, that's the idea... I tried making it start at 0.2 instead of 0, but that didn't work somehow.
The wole preset is basically just a test for placing SSC lines, and moving that bus around... (it's basically a not-moving text with a Dmovement)

can i just say that you have definately gone the long and slow way around with this preset by not using 1 superscope for the moving square.

if you want nothing to draw inside the inner square you could just make another version of the square but filled using a superscope inside an effect list(search the forums if you don't know how to do it there is a post somewhere about drawing solid squares) make the ssc black and put a white clear frame in then multiply blend that with the rest of the preset. Then it will always be black inside that square. or if you want it to be white just draw a white square over it.

I really recommend that you make the moving square using 1 3d superscope instead of several lines like you have, it would probably run a lot faster and look nicer.
