Take a look at it and rate it here. I know some of the dynamic distance movement is basic, but it yet rocks. That is my opinion though, not everyones, I know.

Too n00bish. Write your own DDM code- you just used the premade one.

lord_zero_i

7th July 2003 22:02 UTC

Ok.
Ok. Got a site I can go to to get the coding then? I will go there and examine how to make such efforts. I just need to catch up on the coding you know... Thanks for the rate.

Search the forums.

lord_zero_i

7th July 2003 22:29 UTC

Did, I am just using some of the ideas and crediting of course in the comment part.

lord_zero_i

7th July 2003 22:56 UTC

This is the new improved one. I credited m^2k upon it in the comments.

mikm

8th July 2003 02:53 UTC

pffft...you don't have to credit me for helping, only if I remix it.

Somewhat better...but realize that since you do not use t or u in the pixel field, they are useless (in a DDM, d is the only "set" variable).

Try experimenting more with the code.

lord_zero_i

8th July 2003 03:38 UTC

Alright. I will credit you since you gave the code in one of the threads for dynamic distance, well one part of the dynamic distance modifier that I used for mine, thus I will. Thanks though, I will experiment tomorrow though, when I wake up since all of it is in my dad's computer in his and my step mom's room. I will continue to look back though, don't worry. I will use what you said as well. Thanks again.

If not then I can use one of your examples in the forums and then credit you for it.

On a 1-10 scale I give it a 3. I like the look of it and it goes well with my type of music. However, it does appear to look very similar of another preset. I don't know witch one but it looks very familiar to me. If it were your original work then I would give about a 7.

lord_zero_i

8th July 2003 04:45 UTC

Yeah, well I am going to fix it Calrobowiz, lol. I can't get into the room now, since my dad and step mom is asleep in the room. I will post it here again, and thanks... I will try to change it a bit. If you find who idea it was, tell me so I can credit them in the comment parts of it. I want to give that person the credit too.

Calrobowiz

8th July 2003 14:27 UTC

Well I could tell you if I were at home right now. I'm at a friends house at the moment.

lord_zero_i

8th July 2003 14:46 UTC

Alright, when you do get home I will be grateful for you to tell me so I can put forth credit to the person in the comments section of my AVS.

lord_zero_i

8th July 2003 15:08 UTC

New Update
The new update of my AVS. I will continue to post my new updates on this thread. Comments and ratings are welcome as always.

lord_zero_i

New Update Once Again
Update.

anubis2003

8th July 2003 16:14 UTC

Take out the Render Mode at the end - it doesn't do anything at the end of a preset. I do not like the DDM's. They just make it look kinda crappy in my opinion. The texture is also way too grainy - don't use dot fountain and starfield - they make it much too grainy.

lord_zero_i

8th July 2003 16:18 UTC

Did that, LOL
Alright, no more fountain or starfield. Update!!!

anubis2003

8th July 2003 16:31 UTC

Argh, what I meant was to replace them with something else(i.e. SSC).

lord_zero_i

8th July 2003 16:35 UTC

Hmmmm.... Confusion!! GWAHAHA!!! Alright, like a Superscope? I can try that, yeah. Just let me mess with it and I will submit it back here when I have completed it.

Calrobowiz

8th July 2003 16:41 UTC

It's looking better! Keep up the good work.

lord_zero_i

8th July 2003 16:57 UTC

New Update
Thanks a lot, took an idea from Raz, but of course, I gave him credit of his idea with adding his name to my Comments list. A little light show is on there now, a superscope of intensity, you may ask. If it looks good, I shall keep it there.

anubis2003

8th July 2003 17:06 UTC

Some bugs/optimizations with the SSC:
1. You don't use d and r in the SSC, so you can delete there expressions.
2. The SSC doesn't move on the y axis and you add ay to y, but you never coded ay, just ax.
3. The SSC doesn't move over the entire screen(I don't know if you meant to do this or not).

Here is the SSC after I edited it.

Init:
n=800; pi=acos(-1)
Beat:
rx1=rand(100)/50-1;ry1=rand(100)/50-1
Frame:
ax=ax*0.9+rx1*0.1;ay=ay*.9+ry1*.1
Pixel:
x=cos(i*pi*30)*i*.1+ax; y=sin(i*pi*30)*i*.1+ay;

The Up to the Second Update
Thanks once again anubis, looks a lot better now. Here it is now.

anubis2003

8th July 2003 17:32 UTC

Much better. There seems to be a bit too much color, though when the colorfade and clear screen kick in. This could be a nice black and white preset if you took the color out. Would look kinda like a flashlight.

lord_zero_i

8th July 2003 17:36 UTC

Ok, so you just want me to take 'em both out? I will see how they look and all. If it looks better, than I will send it back in here.

anubis2003

8th July 2003 17:38 UTC

I dunno. You could try a white unique tone. Don't know how that will look. The color just looks kinda bad, IMO.

lord_zero_i

8th July 2003 17:49 UTC

Ok
Well, the Unique tone was kinda ok, but didn't really calm my nerves down, lol. So I just deleted it and reput the colorfade back in and the Onbeat color clear. I think it kinda looks better than before, less of those blinding and somewhat ugly tye dye colors.

anubis2003

8th July 2003 17:58 UTC

Last thing I'm going to say: Instead of using the color cycler in the SSC, use the variables red, green, and blue. One possibility(just add this to the SSC):

BEAT:
dr2=rand(100)/100;dg2=rand(100)/100;db2=rand(100)/100
FRAME:dr1=.9*dr1+.1*dr2;dg1=.9*dg1+.1*dg2;db1=.9*db1+.1*db2;red=dr1;green=dg1;blue=db1

That should be better. Note: I didn't test this code - there may be errors, but I think it's correct.

lord_zero_i

8th July 2003 18:12 UTC

Ok, thats all for me too, looks pretty good except the new code, it is good, but then again it wouldn't move around correcly, it would stay in the middle and just do nothing, lol.

IshanRocky

8th July 2003 18:38 UTC

This is the SSC anubis wanted to show you:

Init: n=800;pi=acos(-1);

Beat:rx1=rand(100)/50-1;ry1=rand(100)/50-1 ;dr2=rand(100)/100;dg2=rand(100)/100;db2=rand(100)/100 ;

Frame:ax=ax*0.9+rx1*0.1;ay=ay*.9+ry1*.1 ;dr1=.9*dr1+.1*dr2;dg1=.9*dg1+.1*dg2;db1=.9*db1+.1*db2;red=dr1;green=dg1;blue=db1 ;

Pixel:x=cos(i*pi*30)*i*.1+ax; y=sin(i*pi*30)*i*.1+ay;

lord_zero_i

8th July 2003 18:46 UTC

Alright, thanks to you to, it looks much better. I appreciate that. All and all since you helped me out too, I give you and the others on here special thanks.

IshanRocky

8th July 2003 18:52 UTC

lol, no need to be so sentimental:D

lord_zero_i

8th July 2003 18:56 UTC

Mysterious Beat Beauty
The new one. :up: :D

lord_zero_i

8th July 2003 18:57 UTC

Heck, you need some type of credit. Take a look though. Looks a lot better I think.

IshanRocky

9th July 2003 16:24 UTC

No, i dont think i should get some credit. All i did was put together Anubis's code to make you understand.
Anyway i remixed your preset hope you like it:

Calrobowiz

9th July 2003 16:37 UTC

Wow that remix kicks ass Ishan!

[Ishan]

9th July 2003 17:02 UTC

lol, i thought no one would like that:eek:

my account is allright again!!!woohoo!!

lord_zero_i

9th July 2003 17:16 UTC

I would say it is... but I will not submit it as my own... It is not my work, it is yours since it is a remix. Better though. Way better.

Calrobowiz

9th July 2003 17:44 UTC

Why didn't you think no one would like it Ishan?

lord_zero_i

9th July 2003 18:42 UTC

Hmmmm, it is his though, and I think it is great too. Still.

Calrobowiz

9th July 2003 20:10 UTC

Well I'm sure you submit both as long as you give Ishan credit for the remix. But there is no need for full credit. (Sorry Ishan I'm not trying to put words in your mouth or anything.) :rolleyes:

lord_zero_i

9th July 2003 20:19 UTC

I understand, but I only submitted the one that is my download. If he doesn't care I do submit it, then I will give him the credit, maybe full or 75 % of it and i only get like 25%.

Calrobowiz

9th July 2003 22:22 UTC

Hey check out this thread. It has a whole bunch of cool remixes of one of Ishan's presets. You need Color Map for them to work properly though.

lord_zero_i

10th July 2003 00:03 UTC

Yeah, lol. I might not have Color Map. I don't know whats on my dads computer, lol.

Calrobowiz

10th July 2003 01:42 UTC

Well you can down load it if you don't have it. Just check in the AVS Config to see if it is there. It will be under the "Trans" menu.

lord_zero_i

10th July 2003 02:40 UTC

Alright, sure will man. I will do that. GWAHAHA!

lord_zero_i

28th July 2003 01:03 UTC

This seems like old news and all but I have to submit my latest update on my AVS preset, Mysterious Beat Beauty. It was the original one, not the re-mix. I will put a downloadable zip here and let you all see it for yourself. Rate it if you want to. The rating scale will be 0 to a 5, 0 being terrible and 5 being astounding. Please comment upon it even though it is old news and should stay in the past.

Calrobowiz

28th July 2003 03:42 UTC

Ah I love how it looks now. Your work has become much better since your last update.

lord_zero_i

28th July 2003 03:44 UTC

Thanks man. Well I added a few touches to it though. The newest update was moving some things around. Simple things. It will never be completed though. :D I will continue to update it. I will post the newest update of the AVS tomorrow. For now I will just look at it and see any other problems that I can find and fix them or maybe add some things to it.

lord_zero_i

28th July 2003 12:43 UTC

My update. I wanted to edit the previous one but I can't since the time for modifiying the message expired already. Well here is the update and sorry for this sentence to be semi-big. Well I hope the newest update looks good though.

Pixelcraft

28th July 2003 18:47 UTC

Too dark. Not much happening on the sceen, but I suppose it's better than before.

[Ishan]

29th July 2003 09:04 UTC

/me still likes my remix :D

lord_zero_i

29th July 2003 19:52 UTC

.. Well I am sorry, I don't like the invert effect for mine, looks too crappy. I will try something else though. Oh yeah Ishan, I just don't want to use the same layout for mine on the remix. I will still use it though since you did modify mine which was mine in the first place. As usual you get credit for the remix though. It is wrong to take full credit for it. I will see what I can do with mine to make it less dark. Just be patient and keep coming back for more updates or whatnot.
