i have done one preset for now... holding onto it for a bit tho incase i have any fantastic ideas...

I would prefer original and exclusive presets. However since Kar-ma submitted a preset that had already been published, it would be unfair to tell you no. So, sure, go ahead. 🙂
eheiney#
Well if push comes to shove, submit them both! Each preset has an opportunity to increase the size of the pack by 3 (1 original and 2 possible remixes).

Thanks, JaVS. Try to work on one more before the deadline. And please, next time try to make an original preset.

Update: 5 presets by 4 artists.

As with everyone else, the whole point is to have original presets, exculsive to this pack. This way when it's released, your newest work will be displayed. I suppose I should have made this more clear in the beginning, but from here on out, please try to create submit something new.

Even though I'm just a n00b and I haven't released my first pack yet... can I be in on this one?
eheiney#
Come on, guys! What's with submitting only one preset? Understandingly, some may submit another preset still before the deadline is up. But, when 3 of the artists have already said that this is all that will be submitted, this could turn out to be quite a small pack.

QOALsoft: I think it may be a little late. If you feel you can create two, or even one, original preset in 9 days then we'll take a look at it. I do remember seeing your thread concerning your first pack in development stages, and was a bit impressed. Otherwise, you may want to wait for the next compilation. I suppose it's up to you from here. 🙂

Perhaps my post was misinterpreted, I have no problem with him submitting. I just think it may be hard to get them in on time. If he can, that's great!

You are forgetting the strong and proud tradition of pushing back deadlines for winamp forums compilations

and whats the deadline for the intro?
i am asking because i got some intro-worth stuff in the back.

🙂 I suppose... But this is why I set the initial deadline at 40 days, I figured this would leave ample opportunity but I also forget how lazy avs artists are. 😛

To ASD5A: I have no problem with you creating the intro for this pack. I had thought someone else had volunteered but, looking back, perhaps I'm thinking about WFC3. :shrug:
StevenRoy#
Yeah, you could be thinking about that intro I made for WFC3. (I'm still proud of that one.) I've been working on ideas for a new intro (complete with new custom font!), but I think I'd be lucky to get that working right in time for WFC6.

Anyway, I've actually got three WFC4 presets -nearly- ready to send in. Since I still have some time, though, I'm going to continue looking for ways to tweak and improve them a bit. Once the deadline (the 12th, thank goodness!) nears, then I'll choose the two that I think turned out the best.

I have two presets in store for you.
One looks quite good and is 'ready, willing and able', the other looks even better but needs some performance tweaking.
I'll send them in once the 2nd is ready too.

Do not yet think we're losing the race 🙂

StevenRoy: Sweet! 😁 As for the intro, yep. I looked back at the previous compilations and did a D'oh!

JFASI: Huh? As in today? I'm confused, but excited.

Grandchild: I'm really looking forward to your presets. I haven't seen too much of your work, but I'm always hearing good reviews about you. 🙂

On to other matters: Would anyone be willing to write an installer for the pack? I believe Jheriko had mentioned, in WotL's forums, that he would do it, but if he's no longer able to we could find someone else. If all else fails, Pimpbot should suffice.

Also, I was thinking of redesigning the images previously used for the packs. Meaning, at deviantART and Winamp.com, when you see the link to click on the pack, and the larger image used to display the preview of sort, and the opening image of the installer. I'm not sure what to call these, but I think you know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, I had begun working on this before my hard drive was destroyed. What I had was the Winamp logo at the top of the page, centered in a canvas of 275x425, with all the names of the participants around it. I thought it would be cool to personalize it a bit, and used my Wacom tablet to write everyones names. Well, with my hard drive destroyed, the drivers for the tablet were destroyed. And since I'm an idiot and threw the recovery CDs away, I can't use it unless I find a place to retreive the drivers.

Well, what do you guys think about this? I know that's not what is important, but I think it would be a nice addition or feature. If anyone would like to attempt to redesign this, please feel free to and send your ideas to the same email address. If not, I'll whip something up quick when the final release nears closer. 🙂

Oh you misguided fool
ASD5A#
a list of all participants could be nifty for me..
it would intro making alot easier if i knew who participates.
however intro is 90,2924% done (need to make a .bmp for every participant and need to think about a neat startup effect and frame rate independancy)

ASD5A: The deadline for the original presets is still a week away, and may end up being pushed back a few days more. When all the originals have been received and sent out for remixing, I'll send you the final list.
