hell yes. OMG, it came true. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

holy shit - 256 variables(finally I can do some more stuff), global variables, comments, faster stuff, some more effects, hell yes. Can't wait til next week.

You are the man, justin.

OMFG!!!!! GLOBALS!!! YEAAAAAWWAHAAHAHAHA!!!
and 256 variable limit!! :o

and the "added new color modifier effect.. with script" sounds very intersting..
This is probably much more than any of us were expecting!
Thanks alot!

Wow, this is indeed amazing, especially because most people here (including me) thought there wasn't going to be a new version anymore. I'm really looking forward to seeing it.

Thank you, Justin.

Wow wasn't expecting that. :)

Massive increase in the variable limit will be so useful no doubt.

Sweet!!! Wait until Yathosho sees this. :D

anubis2003

10th September 2003 12:30 UTC

Like tugg said - give us subdirs. Do this and I will be happier than I would've thought.

Silverberry

10th September 2003 12:38 UTC

Just wondering, what to mean by subdirs? I know it means subdirectories, but what to they do with avs?

piR

10th September 2003 12:49 UTC

It sounds like a good news for everyone, but not for me. :(

I will have to update my web French tutorial, the PDF version, its English translation (that is not even finished) and to make a new French translation of the DLL ... what a pity ;)

I want the DLL. I want the DLL. I want the DLL. I want the DLL. ...

I assume everyone is simply talking about the quick-preset-selection feature.
Ie, the right click menu on the vis screen.

Currently it just displays what is in the home directory, as well as the files within the immediate folders. What people want is for it to display any subdirectories within those.

WWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!BABY, now you'r talkin. This definetly MADE MY DAY. Could you fix the rendering bugs in SSC and Text, please.

Jaak

10th September 2003 13:41 UTC

CAN I HAVE ANOTHER F*CKING HALLELUJAH....

My dreams have come true... now i can do 1000 control point curve using one ssc... :rolleyes:
Global varjables... woop woop!
Shiet, i must release now my pack... before the update

sidd

10th September 2003 13:47 UTC

Hmm.. me wonders if these globals will be accesible to future APE's.

[el edito] btw fsk.. what are the ssc render bugs? [/el edito]

Oh yeah, now we're getting somewhere.

A great thank you to you justin.

Deamon

10th September 2003 15:58 UTC

YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! It came true, it really happened, we're gaining updates!

You're the man, Justin. GREAT!

:D:D

PS.
and indeed, subdirs would rule as well :)

10th September 2003 21:26 UTC

Thank GOD...
/bows down to Justin.

Akuso

10th September 2003 21:39 UTC

sounds great!
Totally looking forwards to it, now a save prompt or undo button would really do it for me :D

Phaze1987

10th September 2003 22:11 UTC

O_O O_O O_O @ Justin ! w00t ! You`re the man, man! add subdirs and an autosave function and everything will be just...PERFECT! :drool:

Justin, just wanna let you know that I worship the ground you walk upon and I will gladly be your humble servant and bring you fruit whenever you like your excellencey. :p

Hot DAMN... that is awesome. You are officially the king, Justin. :up:

Justin, you are my hero of the week.

UnConeD

11th September 2003 14:12 UTC

Heh this makes a lot of my more whacked ideas possible. Really, who needs Wildtangent?

anubis2003

11th September 2003 14:31 UTC

Definitely don't need wildtangent. Someone just needs to make a wildtangent-like dancer for AVS. :p

[Ishan]

11th September 2003 17:33 UTC

i'm just waiting to check it out...........

dirkdeftly

11th September 2003 19:23 UTC

HELL


FUCKING


YES

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

i think i'm gonna cry :D:D:D

[edit] I just realized...I'm going to have to start doing some more work on AVS primer now...like, continuously (I hope...I assume you're going to continue doing updates after the initial release?)

Justin you asshole :hang:


;)

Deamon

11th September 2003 19:54 UTC

I knew this would warm even Atero up, and it takes quite a lot to do that :)

NemoOrange

11th September 2003 21:39 UTC

can anyone explain this in laymen's terms?

UnConeD

11th September 2003 22:06 UTC

Non-obvious ones:

# added global register watch in root list window (for debugging)
You can now monitor the value of your variables. Makes that really neat superscope var indicator that was made a while ago obsolete though ;).

# added comments for eval code. // and /* bla */
Pretty redundant because we already have comments with >127 ascii chars (though perhaps this was unintentional).

# added gettime() function to eval
Allows you to make your effects independant of framerate, without needing a custom bpm set at a fixed clock.

# added new color modifier effect, which can be used to replace (with script) a lot of different effects (and be faster and more flexible).
Not sure what this is. We talked about the freeform colormatrix effect a while ago, but that would be very slow IMO. Perhaps it's a combo of multiplier APE, brightness filter, fadeout, and such, but per channel.

11th September 2003 22:26 UTC

I take my eyes of the forums for like... 2 days and bang!

Thank you justin, the increased variable limit and global registers. The debug is great too.. maybe i can make that analytical cubic solver work now. :)

Some of the more complex projects I had to abandon due to excessive variable use can perhaps be brought back to life now. (like that crazy zgm-mix that i spent ages showing off on #ff - the one with the torii) :)

I find it strange that my first name is Justin too.

By the way, as you're working on this, can't you just add a little control to avoid AVS to violently stop when there are too many variables (I think to just an alert box - with a button to purge the unused variables ...).

UnConeD

12th September 2003 14:39 UTC

The 'purge unused vars' button is a very good idea, because I'm pretty sure that AVS generated extra variables, because it compiles as you type. E.g.:

red=1, results in vars "r", "re," and "red" being created.

anubis2003

12th September 2003 14:43 UTC

that would be great. It would make it so that many of the times when it seems that we don't have enough user variables, that we may actually have enough.:up:

Raz

12th September 2003 20:31 UTC

Speaking of the AVS selection menu, having things organised automatically alphabetically, surely that can't be hard.

Yathosho

12th September 2003 20:58 UTC

now dont bring up everything that's in the feature-list already :)

Raz

12th September 2003 21:33 UTC

It's just people were talking about the menu i thought i'd just add that on the end.

jheriko

13th September 2003 00:15 UTC

I have this frighteningly cool idea that this new color modifier thing is going to be a new coded object... a trans effect that can be used to modify the red, green, blue values of every pixel of the screen by code... that would kickass.

Deamon

13th September 2003 10:13 UTC

and, oh, goody goody, it is :D

Zevensoft

14th September 2003 14:58 UTC

Hopefully next Justin will give us effect lists switched on/off by code !:D

AmpliDex

14th September 2003 15:24 UTC

Great. Maybe I'll be able to get back to AVS creation again! :D

mikm

Your sig is WAY to big.

Think that's big? Wait till ya see many of those on Neowin.net! :D

From the site rules
Signature Size
- To keep the page loading time and visual annoyance factor down to a minimum, ensure your graphical signatures do not exceed a maximum of 12,500 pixels or 15 kilobytes file size, whichever is reached first. Alternatively, three lines of text can be used as a signature. Do not pad out your text lines with blanks lines. A line of text is defined such that it does not wrap when viewed at a resolution of 640x480.

If these limits are exceeded then you may be contacted by a moderator requesting an amendmant to your signature. If none is made within a reasonable period of time, then a moderator may remove your signature from your profile.
Your sig is 20 KB, and 45,000 pixels (three times the limit) plus two lines of text. If you don't fix it, the mods WILL remove it.

All right. I changed it to text only then, but I posted a bug about AVS in Winamp 5.
