Hotlist 2.1 - Testers needed

Endless! I did it!!!

Nearly one Year after i released Hotlist one i've finished v2.1
For all those who don't remeber, its a VJ'ing Tool for AVS.

I'm going to upload my it in a few hours (no FTP at the moment) and i need you all for testing and (maybe) language Pack writing.

Who is gonna give me a Hand?

You can count on meh too for da testing and language addons 🙂 THere are many clubs here in Bucharest but i havent seen any projecting AVS.I hope i`ll change this in the future...

If it doesn't have lots of technical bs i could translate it in finnish 🙂 (or atleast try) And there is always the dictionary...

kind of confusing at first, i get an error message when adding presets, but it is not in English even though my language is set to english

i could do slovenian but whats the use there's only two milion of us all together. of which about 10 have ever tried AVS (Im avare of one person besides me)... So i can do it for myself😁, nahh to lazy😉

Dude - haven't had any fun with it. I get an error message which is in German when I load up and when I import and avs to the list. hmmm... perhaps I need to play more? Its also crashed a winamp .dll and hasn't done much else.
Sorry haven't had too much time.
By the way what software do you use for live video triggering? Most of the good shit is either mac OS based, expensive as hell or Japanese...

Ok i got that Bug. On first startup, the Language Pack is loaded after the configurations. Thats why LAnguage Problems. The Loading Error is caused by wrong File Settings.

I got both things fixed, but i'm still setting up the Install Shield Wizard to provide a proper Installation System next time.

This should solve most of those problems, because the setup was included within the executable (it creates new folders and files, if they're placed wrong, you cant use Hotlist)

I'm gonna upload it as soon as possible.

typoes in english trans:

"does'nt" -> "doesn't"
"does already exists." -> "already exists"
"informations" -> "information" (has no plural in english)
"Foreward" -> "Forward"


You should standardize your capitalisation by the way. 'Typing Sentences Like This With All or some Words Capitalised' is weird to read.

And if you have to include variables in a sentence, it's best to use the following system:
"Preset %preset does not exist." instead of "Preset" and "does not exist".
If you include multiple unknowns in one sentence, some languages will reverse the order and will be unable to use your system.

@ UnConeD: Yeah, typoes, i knew there would be some. Why don't you write a language pack, it would be better then my crappy english 😁
Just send it as an Email, i'm gonna add it to my code then. (Oh and you could review the doc as well then 😉 )

@ legohead: it doesnt do anything midi related. Version one was hotkey based, but i experienced that this was a bad way to control avs. I know it would be nice to control avs via midi, but there's no point in doing this would be very unorganized.

Checked it out and I must say I LOVE it👍 . just what I was wishing for (some wishes do come true🙂yay). I even made the pointles slovenian lanuguage pack😁. I will send it to you anyway.

There are two things that bother me though. The fist one is you cant save lists (I'll get over this🙂), and the second one which is easy to solve is I HATE THE NO PICTURE graphic. I hate it as much as I love Hotlist. Its just useles, you cant see it among all the preset pictures🙁. I edited the bitmap to my own needs (made a BIG red x on white background and wrote NO PICTURE below - works perfectly), but if you choose to delete all the pictures the file gets replaced 😠 😔.

Please,please,please,please change that picture,or code it so that it wount change it back 🙂

I sugest a bigg red X on white background without the text because that gets messed up with resizeing.

Anyway, love what you did, THANK YOU for shareing it.


woot-finnaly lost the junior thing😁

Debugged Version out now!!! 😁

Yo Guys, i debugged some things and added an Installer.

Get it on the Hotlist-Page

By chance, it happend that i deactivated the Picture Changeback.

More Things to come Up in V2.2:

-onbeat preset changing 😁
-saveable hotlists
-improved picture loading
-language packs with placeholders

I'm on it, keep on writing Language Packs 😉
UnConeD#
If you send me the latest english language pack before releasing it (email steven at acko.net) I'll correct it and do a Dutch translation if you want.

but why MSI and not NSIS ?
Magic.X#
😳 because InstallShield:

-does Registry Settings
-does all the Stuff with subdirs and so on
-supports a deinstaller
-creates the shortcuts
-is damn easy to handle and updates itself for every version
Yathosho#
nsis does that aswell.. and it's completely free!

btw: would be nice to have some screenshots on you websites. i like seeing a software before i install it.

Endura, happy birthday 🙂
[/OFFTOPIC]

I still haven't tested this, but i guess there is no rush with the finnish translation since there hardly is finnish VJ's that use avs O_o

Ooh and gotta download the new version while im at it.
Magic.X#
I havnt received one single language pack yet. 🙁

You're really lazy guys 😉

But that doesnt matter as V2.2 will need updated packs anyway, so just wait 1-2 weeks until finalisation.

Has anyone else some ideas for V2.2??
Tuggummi#
Yes we are a bit lazy 🙂 Or atleast i am.
Also i thought this isn't a rush job so it's not on the top of my things to do list.
Magic.X#
hehe.

At least i hope ther will be more enthusiasm when v2.2 is out.

I just tested the onbeat preset switching - w00t!
Magic.X#
Aw, c'mon guys, i asked for improvement ideas some days ago and nothing happend.

Ai'nt anyone interested in this program??? 🙁
fsk#
OK, I have an idea🙂.
it would be cool to have 'save to hotkey 1,2,3,...' options,
when you right click on a preset and that list drops down.
The first 10 keys would be enough.

I would love this function🙂

Could you explain what the hell is the difference between edit and non edit mode:?

The new version doesn't remember which language I use🙁



p.s. others arent VJing, thats why they dont give a rats ass about the software😁. I used it this weekend🙂.
