Complete APE List?

86 posts

things would be easier, if people submitted their APEs to DeviantArt ... now that there is a section for it, people should support it

Yeah but this thread is a horrible solution really.

People will start reading from the beginning and download the older apes, and only if they keep on reading will they find the newer versions.

I'll see if I can't package up my other apes on devart. But there's a problem there too... it's best to submit each as separate item, because that's easier to locate and update, but if people need to download them all by hand, they'll be pissed too...

maybe a mod could make another sticky somewhere with the complete ape list...i know that sounds awful...but...how else are we going to do it? n00bs aren't going to go to devart for it, and they're not going to read the ends of this thread...at least SOME of them will see the sticky.

I'm sure the mods would love to be bugged everytime there is a new ape.

If we're going to do this, we need to do it good:

- sort by trans/misc/render/..
- keep track of versions
- summarize function of each ape
- direct download link (you can copy the link from an attachment or use an outside URL)

We could also include non-finalized apes (such as shreyas' dynamic clearscreen) and development betas (like customfilter.ape) with a clear mention.

well, no the APE is finallized now, except for one bug about the combo-box which wont drop 🧟
UnConeD#
shreyas: that's not finalized 🙂... don't release many versions, it'll only get you more DLL-hell.

By the way this bothered me for ages, yet you still haven't noticed: there's a typo in your sig... 🙂 (which you should update if those APEs were just tests).
shreyas_potnis#
well, ok here goes: final version of dynamic clear screen


and about the typo, well I knew but never cared to update, but look now 🙂

I used to have some render APE's as well, though I lost them, maybe they're still around? Only name I can clearly remember is:

pr0n for AVS

Is there a website out there for hosting APEs?

📻 Does anyone know of a website that hosts APEs exclusively? This would be a great way to distribute and update individual APEs.
mikm#
there is no site that is EXCLUSIVELY for APEs.

Deviantart has a section for APEs http://www.deviantart.com/browse/t/v...ion/visavsape/ although it is not very extensive.

Some members of this forum are planning a site for AVS http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....hreadid=133455
OSX+AVS=Love#
WinampAPEs.com?

📻 Here's an idea: Someone should create a site for APE developers to upload their creations to.

A little CSS, PHP, and MySQL would do it. (there are many ways to do it)

The APE developers would then provide the description, version number, date, etc... with the ability to update the file.

To get the site up and running sooner so that we can all take advantage of this, the webmaster should get the site up with no uploads (yet) and take submissions via email. One update a week (if nessesary, or every fortnight) on Mondays would give the APE developers time to work on them during the weekend. This would talke care of the security issues while you finish coding the real site with a backend database (e.g. Deviant Art but with file updates and APE history).

A solution like this would benefit everyone of us around the table. Those who create APEs or AVS presets and those who need the APE to run a preset. If the webmaster proves to be trustworthy, then we can link there and replace this thread. Please keep in mind that I'm talking about APE files specifically not AVS preset packs (though the site suggested at the link sounds great).

How about making it a part of the AVS website? We don't need a whole new website for APEs... besides, the AVS website won't be too heavy on traffic...
Oh, and for that to happen, we need the APE developers to show their true programming skills and help code such thing 🙂
We'll also need good server space and donations... (Or multiple free websites)
We're still quite a distance from an AVS website, but we're getting there...
For now DeviantART is the best place. (Especially once DAv3 comes out...)

P.S. : Sig size limit, 3 lines. I also believe you can think of a better nickname...(and what should be call you with such nick?)
dirkdeftly#
umm...why don't you post this in that avs website thread? apes are a (very) small portion of what avs is about, it'd be a waste of a domain name to make a website devoted to apeing.

My sig and name get my point across...

📻 None of us have any idea when the (proposed) AVS site will pop up. In the mean time, we have the winamp, deviant art etc... websites for distribution of the presets. I'd like to see a central location for APEs soon. Precisely because It's a small part of the AVS package it's a good reason to have one soon, it'll be easy to maintain. Having to read a long thread is tedious, I'd rather spend my time tweaking presets. 😉

Atero, I posted it here because I started the conversation here. If the moderators want to move it it's ok by me! 🙂

Nic01, I'll see if I can crunch my sig a bit. 😉 It has a bit of wasted space... true.
Magic.X#
The website will pop up as soon as we have enough content and when i'm done with the layout.

[EDIT]
Of course there will be a place for APE's. But all this is depending on how much material the peopel aound here are going to collect.

If you want it to be set that quick, take care of it yourself! Go and write what you think should be published, collect all the ape's and their documentations, rezip them and post the whole thing there:

A space to talk about everything related to Winamp Advanced Visualization Studio. Look at the pretty lights.... If you have any troubleshooting questions, bugs, or feature requests, submit them to the AVS <b>SUB-Forums</b> instead of this one!


I'm awaiting your article 😉
OSX+AVS=Love#
Sheesh take it easy...

📻 It was just a suggestion Magic.X... 🙄 Someone can make it happen if they like and have the knowledge. Another suggestion: Why don't you get the AVS site up and running in sections first instead of finishing the whole thing? We want the content first, then the looks...

Pssst: Start with the APEs section...
OSX+AVS=Love#
That's it. No more. I'll move this conversation elsewhere.

Since this thread is for APEs I'll move the rest of my suggestions and comments elsewhere. The topic has changed from when I first suggested it and we need this APE thread for now.

Getting a site up takes a LOT of work, because we want a forums type thing, which requires scripting, which requires a good host. There are no free hosts I know of that will do what we want. APEs will probably be a later priority because they are released slowly, whereas advice and presets are updated much quicker.
Deamon#
Two things:

1. You can search the forums for yourself. Since you are capable of posting a reply, you can enter Texer II in the search field as well.

2. Texer II is included by default in the newest AVS. So why ask for the APE anyway?

...coming back to the AVS website - do you think we need a paid hosting? If we only need free hosting, the best provider I know is www.h11.ru - PHP, MySQL, pretty good speed, FTP access, SSH and other stuff. The only bad thing is banner and popups 🙁
If you want a nice domain name and no popups/banners, than we can make all give some money via PayPal or something to the person who will do the hosting (I recomend UCD as the most responsabile one here 🙂).
I can do web-design/css/flash stuff, for forum we can use http://www.phpbb.com - it's free, it's php and it's very customizible (I know I have a typo here), I have a friend here who'll do anything in php.
By the way, www.avsing.com is for sale 😁
