BassBox 2011 (version 2.60)

[Patrice Terrier]

VORTEX
is a new BBPlugin to work with BassBox 2.50.

It has been inspired by the thinBasic's script "Tornado" from Petr Schreiber.




This is the final VORTEX version:

There are now 5 textures, you can switch between them using either the left or right mouse button.
The one selected will remain active between sessions until you decide to change it.

...

Very nice Patrice,

it might be inspired by my code, but it has completely new dimension with the reaction to sound played!

Petr,

I have totaly reworked the VORTEX plugin, adding more effects, new textures, and better music sync.

The updated zip file is there.

By the way, you will have a hard time to figure that it originates from your Tornado, if you don't look closely at the code

...

[Petr Schreiber]

It looks fantastic with music which has great differences in volume and tempo, very very good!

In the VORTEX Plugin, change the value for CASE 5, with the red one below.

SELECT CASE LONG UseTexture
CASE 2
     CALL glTranslatef(sV, sV, sV)
     CALL glRotatef(((PulseAngle * sV) + pulse) / 10, 1, 0, 1)
CASE 3
     CALL glTranslatef(0, sV, 0)
     CALL glRotatef(((PulseAngle * sV) + pulse) / 10, 0, 1, 1)
CASE 4
     CALL glTranslatef(0, sV, 0)
     CALL glRotatef(((PulseAngle * sV) + pulse) / 10, 1, 1, 1)
CASE 5
     CALL glTranslatef(sV, sV, sV)
     CALL glRotatef(((PulseAngle * sV) + pulse) / 10, -10, 10, -10)
CASE ELSE
     CALL glTranslatef(sV, sV*1.5, sV)
     CALL glRotatef(((PulseAngle * sV) + pulse) / 10, .25, -1, .25)
END SELECT

Hi Patrice,

your Fantasy has no Limits!


I like your Vortex Plugin very much!!

The way you twist the Textures, the Colors and the handling of Signals with the SQR fft() array.

I think yuo hit the right Balance of these Values!! Nice work..

And it Works well on my Computer!!

why don't you put everything into the same png texture.
1024*512 or 1024*256
or even simple 32*224 = 7168*32 (working like an ImageList)

Or you could also create the font from a customized TrueType

Are you interested to play M4A audio files (mp4 audio) in BassBox ?

.M4A File Extension
Audio file compressed with the Apple Lossless Encoder (ALE); uses the Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC), which provides lossless compression; saved in the MPEG-4 container format.

M4A files are similar to .MP4 video files, but do not contain a video track; MPEG-4 audio files that include copyright protection, such as those sold through the iTunes Store, typically have an .M4P extension.

Patrice,

my last Post is a long Time ago..

Think it's good to give you Information about the Work on the new Matrix_Fall.
I found enough Time this Weekend to costumize it as BBPlugin.
It`s running really fast with much more effects on the Letters, better Colours and short SourceCode!
But the SourceCode is not ready to post it Today. I wll clean it up and test the Plugin a while.

I have some Screenshots here...

 ...

[Patrice Terrier]

Jürgen,

Thank you for the screenshots, they are looking promising.

Patrice,

I installed latest version, and while it seems targeted on users (no source code), there is still one BAS file extracted by setup.
In BBPlugin it is Vortex.bas.

Is the source code version still available?

BassBox 2009 has been updated to version 2.52.

- AAC audio support: .m4a, .mp4, .m4p, .m4b.
- Audio stream soundmap (oscillo background).
- Bass.dll 2.4.3.1.

Setup.zip is attached to the first post of this thread.

Anyone here using BassBox with Windows 7 ?

...

[Patrice Terrier]

A problem with WMA files has been fixed:
The "offset" and "length" parameters were improperly declared as DWORD instead of QUAD.

...

[Patrice Terrier]

Petr,

Change this in the source code:
DECLARE FUNCTION BASS_WMA_StreamCreateFile LIB "basswma.dll" ALIAS "BASS_WMA_StreamCreateFile" (BYVAL mem AS LONG, file AS ASCIIZ, BYVAL offset AS QUAD, BYVAL length AS QUAD, BYVAL flags AS DWORD) AS LONG
DECLARE FUNCTION BASS_WMA_StreamCreateFileAuth LIB "basswma.dll" ALIAS "BASS_WMA_StreamCreateFileAuth" (BYVAL mem AS LONG, file AS ASCIIZ, BYVAL offset AS QUAD, BYVAL length AS QUAD, BYVAL flags AS DWORD, zUser AS ASCIIZ, zPath AS ASCIIZ) AS LONG

After the %ACCSTREAM = 4 contsant add this new one:
%WMASTREAM = 5

and replace the existing BassChannelPlay() code with that one:

Code Select Expand

   LOCAL So, IsUrl AS LONG, sLowExt AS STRING
