I Need Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I submitted my AVS pack (about 5 times (1 per day)) and it didn't get in!

My pack name is: the_danny_days_v1.0

HELP PLEASE! THIS IS MY FIRST PACK! I AM EMBARRASSED!
Mr Jones#
Did you get an email saying your pack had been rejected ?

Did you get an email saying it had been removed?

If the answer is no to both of those, then you have nothing to worry about, packs are not posted to the site untill they have been reviewed, reviews can take a few day or a few weeks, depends on how busy things are, no need to keep submitting it, we'll get to it eventually.

Help Pleez...

😢
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I HAVE ONLY MADE 1 COMPONENT, AND IT HAS BEEN BANNED (or somthin)
WHAT DO I DO?

MY PLUGIN IS CALLED: the_danny_days_v1.0
Mr Jones#
Right, lets merge your thread first, use the reply to topic button , not post a new topic next time..

How do you know it has been "banned"?, I'll say again, have you recieved any kind of email to say that it has?
Mr Jones#
And what did this email say?

Maybe if you provided a little more detail, it would be a lot easier to help you.
stoopidgenius#
my email is now UNPUBLISHED

this is the text:
Your component 'The_Danny_Days_V1' is now unpublished.

We experienced problems during installation. This needs to be
resolved.

Please visit http://www.winamp.com and resubmit your
updated component. If you have any qualms, Please visit the forum http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?threadid=55236,
and state your case.

Thank you.

Right, ok, finally, some details, I don't deal with AVS packs myself, so I've asked an AVS reviewer to come here and provide you with an explanation as to what is wrong.

My guess is you submitted it as a .zip file yes?, files need to be packed as .exe installers, not .zip files , course I may be wrong.

Hopefully the AVS reviewer will make things clear for you.

installer

I did send it as an .EXE. THEY SAID THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT..........HELP!
Mr Jones#
For the last time, you are gonna have to wait for an AVS review guy to come and explain what's wrong, I've sent a message to an AVS reviewer for you and hopefully he will explain what's up, untill then you are just going to have to wait.

Ok Mr stoopidgenuis calm it down.

I will look into what happened for you.

Do you have a compenent ID of your pack.

I couple recently had installer problems and I think they may have been rejected.

Did it install to the correct directory. ..../winamp/plugins/avs/.../

Thank you Mr. JOnes for handling thus far.🙂

And if you don't know what or how to find your Component ID, might I suggest you read this first, as it explains in it how to find it.



On second thoughts ...


If you don't know it, look at the component in your user developer area, wave the cursor over the edit link, look in your browser status bar, make a note of the 6 digit number.

My ID is...

I'm back! 🙂
Sorry I couldn't talk. My line got disconnected.

Message

Well, if you took the time to read the post above yours, not only have I given you a link to a thread that explains how to find the Component ID, I've also cut and pasted how to get it into the thread.

Here is the bottom line, if you do not provide the component ID, then there is nothing we can do for you, there are litterally hundreds of skins and plugins submitted at winamp.com, these are reviewed by several people, so unless you tell us what the CID is, then we have no way of knowing what component you are talking about,and what might be wrong with it.

This discussion has gone on way longer than it needed to, so the next post from you either contains the Component ID so we can help you, or you don't post at all.

Your choice buddy, were trying to help you, but you have to help us first, understand?

Excellent, I'll inform Rovastar , he is the resident AVS review guru, and hopefully he will have an answer for you at some point, he dosn't appear to be online right now, but I will send him a message, he should get it either later tonite, or tommrow, please check back in here later when Rovastar has an answer for you.
Mr Jones#
Dude, be patient , where myself and Rovastar live it's 12.30 am, some of us do need sleep from time to time.

Rovastar will reply as soon as he can, as I said above he isn't on line at present.

There is no need for you to keep posting , he will get to you as soon as he can, untill then , nothing else to be done except sit and be patient, I'm off to bed myself now.

*gone*
Rovastar#
I will look in th emorning. It's is now 3am and I have just come in from a night out and if I look at it now I will probably reject because I am drunk. More tomorrow something and stop giving Jonesey a hard time show some respect we all do this for free we are not rich Nullsoft empolyeesa nd have lives too.
Rovastar#
Ok still a couple of small problems/could be made better.

It is not detecting the winamp directory which we would recommend

CHeck this thread:

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!


for a nice NSIS script that will do most of the stuff for you.

The font that is in there if I remember does not install correctly too.

I will move this thread to the AVS troublshooting forum so all teh brains there can help you also.

I hope it helps
Mr Jones#
I didn't even know this forum existed, and look at me now,posting away with great abandonment 😁

Keep up the great work guys 🙂👍

You pack kept being rejectied because the installer would not install to the proper directory. An email was sent a theory on why it might not work, did you recieve it?

An AVS forum regular developed an install script that seems to be pretty robust. You should be able to tweak it to suit your needs.

1: THIS ISN'T A CHATROOM.
2: If the preset contains someone else's code (red, green, blue spectrum), credit them.
3: Don't submit presets and imply that you wrote the code (fire frequency)
4: It's not exactly kosher to use someone else's entire preset, add/change something, then rename it. If you do that, use the original name/artist and tag '(rmx)' onto the end of the filename.
5: If you're having trouble with the installer, then post the installer instead of just saying 'It says I'm having trouble with my installer, please help!' This is like taking the bus to the auto shop and asking him to fix your car.

People!

Hello. I was in a rush. I think I fixed the bug, but Atero said "if I remember correctly, the font didn't install to the correct directory." 🧟 The readme said put the font in the fonts folder. Anyways, I don't know how to code on the NSIS program database. Do pray tell...
