[QUOTE="Lightning303, post: 1086927, member: 97876"] New version, once again. Fixed a bug that could result in AtmoLight not loading the settings when trying to configure AtmoLight via MP Configuration. This would happen if AtmoLight is disabled and then config would be entered. Added a new effect called GIF Reader. [USER=115719]@legnod[/USER] asked for some interesting new effects. However instead of me coding new effects, i thought it would be better and easier to support gif files as effects. This way everybody can either browse the web for nice gifs, or make their own gif and use these as an effect. Simply define the gif you want to use in the AtmoLight configuration form and choose GIF Reader. If your system cant handle the gif you throw at it, you may try to resize the gif manually. There are lots of websites out there that can do this in just a few seconds. Resize the gif you like to use to the resolution AtmoWin uses (in most cases 64x48, check AtmoWins title bar to be sure) Some nice gifs i found: [url]http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs12/f/2006/300/7/e/PlasmaStorm.gif[/url] [url]http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs12/f/2006/301/f/7/PlasmaStorm2.gif[/url] [url]http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs12/f/2006/302/2/2/PlasmaStorm3.gif[/url] [url]http://images.wikia.com/theregularshow/images/archive/9/9e/20120707225215!Rainbow.gif[/url] [url]http://gifki.net/images/full/dive-into-the-rainbow.gif[/url] Also requested by [USER=115719]@legnod[/USER] we ([USER=68365]@HomeY[/USER] and i) implemented a vu meter, "also known as" peakmeter. This effect reacts to music. So in loud parts of a song the leds will rise on both sides and on quieter parts leds will fall. We implemented 2 variations, one very traditional vu meter with only 3 colors (green, orange and red) and a so called rainbow vu meter with a color range from blue to red. Please note that this effect will only work if the BassEngine/BassPlayer is being used. What will work: Music using BassEngine Music using WASAPI Webradio using BassEngine Webradio using WASAPI Will not work: Any Videos (this effect wont be selectable for video content) DVB Radio Music using ASIO Music using Internal dshow player Webradio using ASIO Webradio using Internal dshow player Please also note that you may have to check your AtmoWin filters if the effect does not change that much. Because the AtmoWin filters are designed to smoothen hectic color changes you might disable the filter or lower the threshold value. For interessted parties on how this stuff was implemented (some information in previous posts): AtmoLight gets the peak values from the bass engine through a method provided by MediaPortal. It then generates a bitmap that looks like this: [ATTACH]151660[/ATTACH] This bitmap then gets send to AtmoWin to be analysed. If you find bugs, have suggestions or feedback, please let me know. If you have an idea for something new, that could improve AtmoLight, dont be shy and tell me. All i ask is that you will later be involved in testing and giving feedback on the new implementation.
