WFC2... new thread

I'm game.

..send 2 presets to my gmail address before April 17th

I'm in.

I'm on.

Is there any requirement to join? If not, I would be honored to help.

school calls...i cannot really make any presets, sorry fellas.

and if we'd postpone the deadline a bit?

@denkensiefürsich: i don't see any reason why not! i recently saw a preset of yours at da.com. not bad 👍

I apologize for being ignorant and not reading anything else, but what the hell is going on? For all practical purposes you can almost count me in.

The idea for Winamp Forums Compilation Two:
Everyone sends two original presets that you've either created recently or (preferrably) for this pack.
Those two presets should be presets that reflect 'you' as an artist, in other words, presets that fit your style. They should be remixable. That means, techy presets are allowed, but must be remixable somehow.

Then, after the deadline (see above), I will mail the two presets to two participating artists for remixing. There, the second phase starts - the remixing. By having two remixers instead of one as we did in WFC1, you'll have to remix four presets (from 2 different artists) and mail them back to, let's say me for now, unless Jheriko or someone else has different ideas.

After the second deadline (yet to decide) (when all remixes must be returned ), they're all bundeled to one big pack: WFC2.

extend the deadline a bit and i'm in

maybe an extra week?

i wanna make something enormously complicated 🙂

at some point i'll fix the version detect in the installer script and send you a copy. it should be easy to see how to add and remove apes with version checks in the code

let me know, if you need help or code. other than that, please add a winamp-directory detection and don't assume everybody has it in $PROGRAMFILES\Winamp 🙂

deadline shifted

New deadline: April 30th 2005 unless all presets are in earlier

I'm in. I shall make a preset, maybe not better than before, but it will definetely be a preset!

new deadline is goood! cause next week uni starts again...

Like me! Thanks, Yathosho. It really can be burdensome at times when there is no directory to browse for.

hehe i use linux now 😛 (fc3 2.6.10-9)

I'm in... 🙂

I assume that your gmail address is in the previous compilation thread, but as I really don't want to look through all 405 posts, could you possibly post it here again, WotL?

It's on page #4.

and yeah that thread got pretty long cause of some offtopic posts in between times 😉

/me opens Winamp and starts making presets 😁

i didn't realise this was happening until after.. i thought i had some good registry code in there. but i made a mistake :P

thanks for the offer, but I have such code from other installers i made... btw if you could add support for new apes in PimpBot i'd much rather use that 🙂

i think it's only the globmgr.ape, which is currently not supported. well, pimpbot 3 is in the making..

cool. it does use a version resource already, if there is anything else you need let me know.

i'm a big fan of pimpbot, since writing install scripts is such a fag and mistakes like not detetcting the path can be avoided.

globmgr is all thats missing that we needed. i forgotthat texer ii comes with winamp :/

i'd do a quick update of the 2.x version, but i lost the source-code of the most recent release 😁

Jeez another compilation already? I dont know fellas, I think its a bit soon for me. We'll see.

well, i guess it wont be released before mid of june or something, so it's still some time to go.

btw would it be a big problem if someone contributed only one preset?

You mean you can only build one good preset in a month?

C'mon.. just send two presets.

It's more fun for the remixers and it's good for your status to have two presets instead of one (+ mixes of course) to show the masses 😁

For the remixes I wouldn't mind as much since there are two remixers now. (actually 4 remixes per artist would make the pack huge, I think ~3 remixes is a good aim)

Reasons to have two remixers: More variety for the remixer + a slimmer chance of having non-remixable presets at all (not that anyone will be submitting those because you've been told in advance, but... 😛)

no i wasn't speaking about me... (i'll surely finish the second one during the next weeks or so). It was just a general request, perhaps pak is more likely willing to join then ?!

I understand the concern of going too fast.. But think about it.. The first part takes a month, remixing will take like 3 or 4 weeks too.. It really isn't that fast

exactly what i already said above 😉
come on pak and all other hesitating ones, get a start! 😁

Then let others speak for themselves 😉

yeah yeah... 😛

sorry that i wanted to help... 😔
