I see. Well, then I'd say everything's alright 🙂

To get this right: You don't need to comment at all (of course it's appreciated though), all I need is your rating.

Sorry I've taken so long to reply. Anyway, I'm having trouble downloading the file. If you would like, try sending it again to eheiney@gmail.com.
Okay, here's what I think...
Intro: Am I the only one having the problem where the preset gets bright spots that grow and grow until the entire screen is filled with white and nothing can be seen any more?
Audio Explosion: Yeah, that's explosive all right. The movements and the occasional shaking really make it work.
Fireflower: Nice colors. I'll agree, though, that the overall shape is too static.
Deep scan: You're definitely going for a look there. It's fun to watch for a few seconds, but doesn't really work as an actual visualization.
Bass sphere: That is rather nice, although it does tend to get too bright at times.
Dark Angel: I like it... Although it took me a while to realize that the shape changed over time. Then I liked it even more.
Into the Darkness: Not bad. Reminds me a little too much of other presets I've seen, though.
Tunneling: It's much better without the framerate limiter. More variety in color would help, but the blue/cyan scheme is nice too.
Space Channel: I love this one! I would like to see a version with slightly more variety in color, but it also looks great with just the blue.
Blood Star: I like v3 best, but none of them really seem that great to me.
Sunburster: It doesn't work very well with quiet music (change v*v to v in the scope), and it needs to be faster, even with the framerate limiter turned off. Otherwise, it looks very cool.
Collision course: I like v1 more, but I think it looks even better with the convolution filter disabled.
Aquatica: That one's a winner!
Nanobot Explorer: All versions have the same problem the intro has with the whole thing turning white. All four look better with the convolution filter disabled. V1 looks best, but it'd still work better as a game than as an actual preset.
Starpulse: Doesn't work; it turns white like the intro. The first version starts out looking okay, though, for a few seconds.
Here are my rankings:
First place: Aquatica
2: Space Channel
3: Dark Angel (The best of the "preset 3" set.)
Sunburster
* Bass sphere (Does this not count since it's an alternate version of "preset 3"?)
Collision course (v1)
Fireflower
Audio explosion
* Into the darkness (Another "Preset 3")
* Tunneling
Nanobot Explorer (v1)
Starpulse (v1)
* Deep scan
Last place: Blood star (v3)

@Denkensiefursich
Well, I'm having a lot of trouble with gmail.com; they don't accept my installer. I'll give it another try; if that doesn't work, maybe you could send me an alternate address without @gmail.com?
Oh, and you haven't taken too long btw. Almost everyone who's beta-testing my stuff has taken "too long", I kinda got used to it 😉
@StevenRoy
I'm glad you enjoyed the pack (even my beloved noobish ones 😁) Thank you very much for reviewing!
The screen whites out probably because you've been watching the presets on a resolution significantly smaller than 400x300. I already know about this issue; I was just too lazy to figure out how to make bump intensity resolution independent.🙄
Forget about the title "preset #3". When naming the presets, I thought nobody would really like them, so this was meant to be a voting about which one to be included in the final version. But now there's no voting anymore, they'll all end up in Quake AVS, and you can choose anyone from those.
About my rating system
Yeah, Pak-9 was right... dump my shitty ranking system. Dump ordinal measure! Instead: Just give points like Tuggummi and WotL did.😉

Why the f*** is it that bump is unable to get windowsize?? 😠 😠 😠 -> wishlist: bump intensity resolution independent.
try searching for aspect ratio correction.
Well I don't know what to tell you, qforce. I got the attachment, changed the filename, but still couldn't open it. If you're really searching for a review from me, try zipping all the presets up and re-resending them to me. 😉 If not, sorry, but I'll just have to wait for the official release and hope the installer works.
can i see anyway? do you need another tester/reviewer? if you do mr_nudge(at)hotmail.. yeah
@ Mr Nudge:
You're in! 👍
Btw, everyone's welcome, AVSers as well as noobs, even if it doesn't seem so 😉
1 beta left and I want YOU for beta-testing!

@ Mattfury:
Couldn't find anything on aspect ratio correction for bump trans. However, the presets are fixed now 🙂 (Used the register to get what I needed)

In case you didn't know...

Next week is your last chance to get the beta left-over and/or to post any reviews or ratings concerning Quake AVS beta. Everything submitted after release is useless and will always be. 😎

Well, if you still need another beta-tester i could do that. But i don't think that my rewiew/critcism will bring you that much new input, since you already got feedback from many of the forums 'regulars'. Anyway, if you still want to have another opinion, mail your pack to: ineffable.the<at>gmail.com.
Quake AVS is out now!

Couldn't release it on saturday, because my internet connection sucked. But finally it's there, so I hope you enjoy play... watching it. 😉
