ColorMap v1.2
Changes:
v1.2
- Added Flip/Clear buttons
- Added (R+G+B)/3 key, renamed Brightness to (R+G+B)/2
- On-beat cycling is (temporarily) disabled while editing maps
- When adding a new color, the default color is auto-set to the color at that
position in the map.
- Double-clicking an empty spot will add a new color at that point. Double-clicking an existing color will edit that color.
- Expanded the help-message a bit.
- Added visible version info to the dialog

Please try it out and report crashes here. Once it's stable everywhere I'll release it 'officially' and add it to the APE list.

no problems so far, but i think pressing the clear button should also clear the name of loaded colormaps.

No probs encountered here, but i think Yathosho is right.

Heh, this was already being done, but the label wasn't being updated (it would clear if you switched to another map, and back again). Fixed now, thanks for reporting.

I'll wait until tomorrow and release it good. So DON'T DISTRIBUTE THIS VERSION YET.

Kind of sucks that you had to leave in the old incorrect brightness key in, since it's cluttering and pretty much useless...but I guess you had to leave in support for presets that still used that key...but nonetheless, yay for new versions (didn't you say you were gonna stop updating things? ;))

UnConeD

Yup the old one is left in for compatibility reasons, which is also the reason why the order is a bit weird... right now the order in the drop-down is the same as the value used in the config (an integer).


Anyway considering no other feedback was posted, here's final Color Map 1.2. Only the issue reported by yathosho was fixed.

i noticed that when you use an on-beat setting, the cycle won't start unless you click on the colormap and then select any other effect...

Yathosho

19th July 2003 06:23 UTC

zamuz: this is actually a feature :)

Mr_007 you`re a killer ! :D This version of Colormap kicks ass,even with the maximum number of color maps it wont crash.Great job UCD!

zamuz

19th July 2003 18:39 UTC

well, what happened to me is that i wasn't editing the colormap, i just loaded a preset that had on-beat cycle, but it didn't cycle, it just stayed on the first map.

Yeah i didn't like that either, i like everything else about it though, great job.

Very weird, I checked for that issue yesterday and it didn't occur. Expect a fix.

UnConeD

19th July 2003 19:41 UTC

v1.2.1 (to avoid confusion)

Please check if it still occurs... doesn't over here.

zamuz

19th July 2003 21:14 UTC

it's good now :)

Hey, cool! Just an idea, ucd could you add a map rotation (the map itself) like some graphic progs offer? Moving the starting pointof themap shouldnt be too hard, is it?

Yathosho

23rd July 2003 12:09 UTC

hmmm, map rotation. sounds good.

new bug me and nic have discovered: if you have 3 colormaps in any preset and delete one avs crashes.

UnConeD

22nd August 2003 00:51 UTC

I think I have this one nailed down, though over here it only happens on a blank preset with 10-15 colormaps.

The bug is a synchronisation problem... in certain cases when you remove a component, the object gets destroyed before the configuration dialog has finished its cleanup and gotten its WM_DESTROY message.
As of v1.2.1, map cycling is disabled during editing, and as the dialog is closed, this is turned back on again. So in certain cases, the object was already destroyed at this point, causing an access violation.

Try with this version (not final). It doesn't crash

I only had problems with the onbeat cycling, though the updated version has fixed that. No further problems over here yet. Good job, UCD. :)

cool! Great work !:D i like the idea of map rotation btw.

Since it's up again, i might tell you about what i have been experiencing.

Well it seems that presets slow down after a while of shuffling trough a "couple" , now i don't know for certain is this the fault of the colormap v.1.21 i have been using, but all the presets that exprienced the slow downs were using colormaps. Im just asking has anyone else noticed something like this? Or is my own comp just buggin the hell out of me :rolleyes:

Magic.X

22nd August 2003 11:35 UTC

I noticed nothing like that yet. If it happends, it shouldnt be too obvious.

[Ishan]

22nd August 2003 17:24 UTC

nope no problem here:rolleyes:

22nd August 2003 18:23 UTC

works fine! (win2k; winamp v2.91; avs v2.6.0)

Tuggummi

25th August 2003 07:21 UTC

Yup, it's just my system then :P
Tho i noticed that every preset that slowed down had s=bnot(s) or p=p+1 in the pixel section of a scope... Sorry unconed for blaming your colormap.

Deamon

25th August 2003 15:54 UTC

no problems over here as well. (winXP, winamp v2.91, avs v2.5.1)

[Ishan]

25th August 2003 16:20 UTC

so when do we get the final version?

Magic.X

26th August 2003 10:45 UTC

One thing that annoys me:

If the colormap is beeing edited, rotation will stop. Nicey nice, but if i close the Editor with the colormap selcted, it still is sticky.

UCD, please make the visible state of the AvsEditor a "stop rotation" criteria too. A simple checkbox would also do.

Another thing: i cannot turn the effect off completely, hence another "Enable Effect" checkbox would be nice.

Thanks in advance for your 20 minutes of work :D i'd really appreciate this.

UnConeD

26th August 2003 16:41 UTC

I'm not a fan of 'enable effect' checkboxes though. Why waste space on it?

Just make a disabled effect list and drag all your unused stuff in there if you want to keep it.

As far as the 'not unstickying when avs editor closes', that would mean AVS is simply hiding the window rather than closing it. Currently the unstickying is not a check that is performed constantly, but simply a toggle that is performed when the dialog is opened/closed.

I'll see if I can fix it though.

26th August 2003 19:13 UTC

you got a releasedate for the next version of colormap? maybe i would wait with the release of pimpbot 1.1 then.

pure-krypton

3rd September 2003 13:33 UTC

Is there any working version that i can distribute because i have a pack nearly ready to be released and i would like full a workng version so i don't get complaints.

UnConeD

3rd September 2003 17:15 UTC

My last exam is this friday, so friday evening is the earliest I can do.
