thanx

Since I like to teach instead of tell, I am going to explain it. Create a new Superscope, go to load example and click on "Alternating Diagonal Slope". Now, lets change the numbers around. First of all erase the On Beat box, this will make the scope not bounce back and forth. In the per point box there is a X and a Y. These are the coordinates. x=2*(i-0.5-v*sc)*t; y=2*(i-0.5+v*sc); change it so it reads, x=.5*(i-1-v*sc)*t; y=.5*(i-1+v*sc); Now its starts at the midpoint and goes half the distance, so make some more scopes and change some numbers. Maybe Unconed can give us an example using one scope, but right now I have a headache so I am not going to figure it out yet.:D

Here is one thats crappy, I wouldn't even call it an osciloscope star. But it's a place to start for beginners.

I developed your suggestion further... view the result... its made with only one SS... the trick is that:

perFrame:dx=dx*(-1)

perPoint:di=di*(-1);

sc=0.9*sin(i*3.14159);

x=di*dx*.6*(i-1-v*sc)*t*si;

y=di*.5*(i-1+v*sc)*t*si;

Nice scope I never seen anything like it. I get your idea for the mirroring.

GreatWho- Check this bad boy out, just do your mirroring and you'll have yourself a star.

what do you think about the mirroring of your second Scope?
i also made a onBeat-Speedchange

My friend you are a genious. I think you should definately post this, somewhere. Everyone should experience force of superscopes at it's greatest. Cudos to you my friend.

thanx, I feel honoured. there are already 4 Packs published on Winamp.com, i tooked the links in my signatur

Here's a good superscope replacement for the oscilloscope star. Change the vars in Init to change the star's attributes.

Strange, how did you 3 end up posting avs presets in the Milkdrop bug report forum? Studio Music

Hi all,

Obviously there has been a mistake while the sorting out of AVS forums to the selected sub folders, a mistake as been made.

Understandable as there is a lot of work going on.

Now MD community I will again risk my very life by reporting this - even though it helps the whole of the winamp community.

The things I do for MD (and actually Winamp). I do not know how long I can keep this up.

I await the abusive emails...................no doubt not long!

Rovastar all I can say is that I hope you get everything sorted out smoothly without any major headaches or problems. You do not deserve it. SM

Ha Ha, Unconed you did it again, that is a Os. star alright, they look identical.

Great Job
UnConeD
that's a great job you have made. how do you go on it, to find any forms to build in SS, as seen in oscss.avs ? can you give any tîps? so I do not have to disturb you with any stupid question ;-)

Rovastar
mistakes are good to learn any new ideas, to make them better and easyer

:) No problem with mistakes. Only a problem with mistakes that are not corrected.

So when I got the power moved it myself. It is all good. :)

Um well first I made one arm of the osc star, which is just a curve that ranges from (0,r) to (1,r) (polar coords) and has variation in r depending on the sound (the first preset here modified y in function of sound, instead of r).
Then, to create multiple arms, I just increase the 'r' with 2*pi/arms radians every time one arm is finished. I also changed the color to black for each ending-point to make sure the arms are not connected.
Just analyse what each effect does, express it as mathematical formulas and code it in AVS.

and now... there's the reason, i wanted to have a osciloscope Star in SS...to change its color how and when i want...here is one "how" on the timeing i will work on

the second i made is a dynamic movement... it's an experience, i think it looks like a watch

look

on unconed superscope, try adding:
perframe: t1=t1-.05;
perpoint: size=tan(t1);

zooming oscillscope :D

nice tip
thanx for this tip, but try this one:
;t1=t1-9*getspec(0.9,0.4,0);

would also be nice :D :D

theres an awful lote of math in that superscope though, kinda slow :(




nice movement GW :D
