Why not post them here?

BTW. I get this on your site.

The requested URL /~vis737/WINAMP.HTM was not found on this server.

I got there without any problems.

But it only showed half the site because my screen size is 800x600 and the site is made for 1024x768. Please fix that if you can.

BTW, i'm working on my own site too...

This is what it showed on my PC:

I made it t the main page. I got the error when I clicked on the winamp button.

Seems to be working now.

Sorry my fold wrong caps.
I have solved the problem
I hope it works now.

I refuse to visit sites with:

a) Bright red backgrounds
b) Background music, especially if you can't turn it off

Than you don’t visit them
The background music is one of those things I’m working on.
En the red background will be over after Christmas.

The reason UnConeD, and a great deal of other people, don't visit sites with background music is because most people don't browse one page at a time - a sound that comes virtually out of nowhere is rather distressing in the computering world. Also, I'm probably listening to music when I'm surfing, and I don't like to be forced to listen to other people's music when I visit their page.

The bright red background just plain hurts the eyes.

Warrior of the Light

Hey, I noticed that you turned the music off! Great job.

Good luck with the rest of your site!

But for the school part... What were you planning to put there that isn't on IJnte's site?

Browsers support:

.GIF
.JPG
.JPEG
.JPE
.PNG

Happy?

UnConeD

3rd December 2002 14:53 UTC

Use PNG instaed of GIF: it's evil, outdated and limited. Use JPEG for photo's and renders, PNG for images with similar colors in it.

Warrior of the Light

3rd December 2002 20:40 UTC

.png?

Which drawing-programs support those files? Never heard of it...

UnConeD

3rd December 2002 21:02 UTC

PNG is the portable network graphics, the open-source graphics format of choice for computer-generated graphics. Everything supports it: photoshop, paintshop pro, IE, mozilla. Use PNG instead of GIF because GIF has ugly software patens from Unisys, and because PNG has all the functionality of GIF, plus more.

Zevensoft

4th December 2002 03:44 UTC

Yeah, that's pretty stupid, you need a license to make programs that view GIF's :rolleyes:. But unfortunately, PNG doesn't support animation.

UnConeD

4th December 2002 03:55 UTC

There is of course MNG, which is animated PNGs, but it's not supported as much.

The main problem is IE: its PNG support is crap. Mozilla has been able to do alpha-blended transparent PNG's for ages, while in IE you need to do magic with DirectX filters for it.

nobady

I think I will use gif's
it works ant I will not change it agene.

4th December 2002 20:13 UTC

IE is crappy in general, but as much as I hate IE, it's the most widely used browser. Apple computers kick ass, but they don't support as much software as PCs. So am I going to use an Apple computer, just because it's more stable and user-friendly? No, it doesn't have AVS, sorry...

UnConeD

4th December 2002 20:31 UTC

I don't use IE and I'm quite happy for it... I use Phoenix (name is subject to change due to action from 'Phoenix Technologies'). It's a light-weight Mozilla with tons of features: tabbed browsing (middle-click a link and it opens in a new tab, no more 'right-click > open in new window'), automatic pop-up killer and much more.

dirkdeftly

5th December 2002 06:48 UTC

Wait...Isn't Mozilla just a light-weight version of Netscape? ;)

Warrior of the Light

5th December 2002 09:38 UTC

One of my friends is using Opera - He seems happy with it.

Don't know exactly what it offers, but I thought: I'll do a little suggestion

UnConeD

5th December 2002 15:24 UTC

Err no... Mozilla is the open-source browser developed by a huge dedicated team.

Netscape died years ago with NS4... Netscape now is just Mozilla with some extra junk thrown in. In my book, Netscape no longer exists and it makes me laugh whenever someone today still refers to Mozilla as Netscape. Though that's mozilla's own fault, because they use the ugly NS4 icons everywhere.

Opera is not bad, it has a few neat features (like gesturing), but the shareware version is FILLED with ads which, combined with tons of unnecessary search bars, take up half of your screen. The pay-version is supposed to be better, but then again I can now use a free browser which doesn't take up half my screen and does what I want.

dirkdeftly

5th December 2002 19:30 UTC

Meh, I find Netscape far more useful than Mozilla...Except for the fact that for some reason it'll crash on this particular computer if I, say, try to load a page with images. Doesn't happen anywhere else though... :igor:

Zevensoft

6th December 2002 05:20 UTC

Also, Opera has bad memory management and broken image downloads. Often when I'm browsing DeviantArt I'll see half-downloaded images, even when it says the page is 100% done :hang: And also I get a lot of "Not enough memory for Opera to open another window" which is VERY annoying and never happens in the other browsers.

(BTW. I am using the full, payed for, (actually student discount--free :D) version.)

You can exaust memory with IE, I've done it, with about 100 browser windows. You can still start new instances but it gives a warning and new instances lose the gradients, fonts and other title bar graphics and have them replaced with really default things.

Don't ask why I had so many windows open.

UnConeD

6th December 2002 20:18 UTC

Jher: That's just windows' resource management which sucks. Was that Win98 by any chance? It's known to choke GUI objects when memory is low.

dirkdeftly

7th December 2002 05:19 UTC

Okay, what the FUCK were you doing with 100 windows open?! :igor:

jheriko

7th December 2002 15:58 UTC

Yup Win98.

Have U read AVS primer?
005MV : WTF...
y=y+sin(x+i)/2;
x=x+sin(i-y);
IN DM but rectangular coords are not activated?
t = 0.0 :eek: wtf
007MV:
I guess the pest one
Pi = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795... = acos(-1);
009MV:
Same with the last one and write the Pi in the INT field!!!
010MVkerst2
Superscopy but booorin, use the deam pi in int field as acos(-1)

U NEED to read the AVS primer (new version is on its way)

Ok first off that was a PAIN IN THE ARSE to download, messing about pasting links and bits and on your index etc etc... Just post the zip file in your post on here.

Second off some of these are incredibly noobish compared to others, some are just dot fountains and simple things, eg 001MV, its just a built in movement, dot fountain, moving partice and starfield and dosent look good.

000MVintro - Looks ok i suppose, a picture, some text, water and water bump, nothin else to say.
001MV - "dot fountain, moving partice and starfield and dosent look good."
002MV - half decent effect i suppose, another of the simple ones.
003MV - meh, fireworks, nuff said (havent said that in about a year)
004MV - bassspindotfountainbuiltinmovement :p
005MV - not bad, the dynamic movement dosent seem to do anything but blend it though. At least in this one youve played with the rotating bow superscope.
006MV - not bad, the effect you got isnt too bad, its too grainy.
007MV - Pretty nice lookin', good colours. decent superscope.
008MVkerst - defaultsuperscopeoscilloscopestarmosaicfadeout
009MV - good superscope, ANOTHER dot fountain though. not bad, one of the better ones.
010MVkerst - Now this is better. Nice smiley face christmas tree, good work i guess.
011MV - pretty nice, could use some more effects, good superscope.

Not really much i can say, there too simple, look at ateros primer, in his sig, soon to be updated blah blah BLAH BLAH BLAH :blah: read it and keep throwing out presets and youl get better dont stop trying

and incidentally pi in avs can be calculated as "acos(-1)", this is the quickest way too and lets not turn this thread into a discussion on how to calculate pi in avs please Atero and UnConeD and whoever else was puttin stuff on that thread a long time ago. :blah:

Anyway, enough of my inane banter...

Short review:

000 - :igor: ? :igor: Perhaps you could have chosen a bigger picture - Score: 1.5/5
001 - Better than my first preset, but you've had some tutoring ;) - Score: 2/5
002 - Aargh... ever heard of 'blur' or 'fadeout?' - Score: 0.5/5
003 - Too many FyrewurX's, looking better than 002 - Score: 1.5/5
004 - Setting Bass Spin to 'lines' makes it more watchable - Score: 1/5
005 - Flows nicely - Score: 2.5/5
006 - Stealing code won't get you far... give credit, dude!!! - Score: 1/5
007 - Dont overuse the dotfountain if at all... - Score: 2/5
008 - The mosaic doesn't make it look better. FAR too basic. - Score: 1/5
009 - The blue scope looks fantastic! Keep up coding. - Score: 2.5/5
010 - Funny! 3/5
011 - Looks kinda empty. Perhaps some extra movements would do good. - Score: 2/5
009-2 - ? Don't see the difference ?

Overall: You can really see a process from the first to the 11th.
Nice for a first pack. For your next pack: don't add everything you make - Think about the quality! FINAL SCORE: :) :) :igor: :( :( (=2.5/5)
