Dedications

So how many people so far have actually submitted stuff then? I know I have, but how many others?

not me 🙁 still not enough time

So how many people so far have actually submitted stuff then?

Lets just say "not enough". I need at least a few more people to pitch in. I'll keep submissions open indefinately until I get enough.

Thanks man. My exmas are over now and i'll mail my submissions hopefully soon 🙂

i told you people wouldn't bother (not trying to sound like a little bitch or anything, 'twas a joke...)

i'd like to contribute some presets, but i won't have internet-access from home for at least another week. but i have electricity since yesterday 😛

Its going to be more than a week until its released, so feel free to produce submissions.... that is when you are able 😕 As long as you can plug a PC into the wall, thats all that matters

I sended you some AVS, I hope you'l like them.

SEE YAAA!!!

Already started with ULWannabe packs 🙂

huh? That post was too cryptic.

😱 DEADLINE! dun dun daaaaaah! 😱

Friday 17th Sept. Please have your submissions sent to me by then... I'd still like more submissions before I release the pack so please don't give up if your planning one. The deadline isn't going to be extended again because I'm going back to university soon after that.

And if a certain someone making a certain intro that was claimed to pwn a certain arse is reading this.... make sure you tell me if your not going to finish it in time.

Just a certain someone 😉

So , when it is going to be released?

er.... yea soz about the delay, you can still send presets anyone who's interested ( please :| ), in the meantime I need to make an intro and redo a couple of presets I lost, so gimmme a week or so.

Also, where does everyone think I should release it... Wherever I put it (devart, wa.com) it will be under my name which is a bit naff. Plus whenever I submit stuff to wa.com something goes horribly wrong.... just try searching for my packs 🙄

Post it everywhere, here, DA ...

I don't really mind that it's under your name, but if the wa-com thing is a serious problem then let someone else do that.

How about under the VExternal categorey at Visbot?

i had the impression that the chance of a fuckup gets reduced, when one selects a secondary category (i.e. visualizations) in the upload dialog.

Yathosho, can't be...
I've selected only a primary category for my last two packs (extra dimension and singles) and they worked just fine.

then read again what i wrote

Then the problem is you.

Yes, well, sometimes avs+visualisations doesn't work.... so I usually change both categorys to, and than it always works. If you selected just the primary, maybe the reviewer added the secondary. Or maybe you're just lucky.

this is offtopic, you don't have to read this, so don't even waste your time bitching about it 😉

doggy dog: i realized the reviews of plugins are getting pretty negative.

example 1
example 2

though i must admit, that i don't like the presets, i think you have some responsibility as a representive of nullsoft (you might not be employed, but still you do a job for them). you are discouraging people and are too subjective in your critic (i.e. "unremarkable", "boring", "ugly"). imagine that these people might use winamp just because of the plugins (like me for instance!), discouraging them the way you do, these people might look out for another player - and that certainly is not in the sense of nullsoft.

this is an offtopic bitch about yath's offtopic bitch

although "unremarkable", "boring" and "ugly" could be construed as subjective they give people an idea of what to expect in a pack. Presonally I'd prefer subjectivism to an elaborate objective description of the pack in abstract and vague terms which frankly is the only alternative. If every pack is just described, it makes it hard to know if you will really like them. Just my opinion.

Think of it this way... I get loads of single presets submitted here, and packs with bad installers. I used to write in every single review that they should make a pack instead, and that they should at least make the installers with proper paths and everything. And still, I get more, and often from the same "authors". You'd think they would get the point....

I agree, those reviews might have been discouraging. But maybe they encouraged that person to try harder - to make presets that the staff won't think of as ugly or boring. It really depends on the individual. Maybe if I used abstract and vague terms (and I definitely could), the author won't understand me, especially if he/she is a newbie to avs. Or simply doesn't know english that well. I think everyone understands "boring" and "ugly".

I could write far more, but I'm too tired now.


And please.... that italian guy gave his preset a 5.

Anyway, that italian guy, whose preset you set as an example, actually took my advice and released a pack, and he claims he can do even better. Would he have done the same if I haven't gone hard on him in that review. Doubt it ?


This would've been an edit, but...

I think thats enough off topic

reading all that made my head hurt 🙁

@ pak-9 (and to get ontopic again🙂
when do you think the pack is finished? I'm dying to have a view on the presets!
