I think the points system is fair enough(even though i get only three:( )

avs + gd == big kaaaboooooomz0r. it's an avs thread, it stays in the avs forums, agreed?

Agreed.

R E V I E W

Super_toast - 1 - dark and kinda ugly , could have been better with a FB and a morphing scope.

Hungryskull - 2 - its pretty ugly dude,i think that superscope is in pain!

Ishan Rocky - 3 - this aint too bad,but its sooo damn bright that it ruins the preset and i do not see the flow.

Unconed - 4 - yeah, it is great über super but...i have tried pretty hard to notice the flow,seems like it is lost somwhere.

Nixa - 5 - kinky DM with sweet beat detection,but,DAMN!,the colors stink.

Undefined - 6 - well,i like it but i hope the better version is a little more colored and with a nicer DM(yes,i know i`ve already seen it but these guys dont know that).

Runar - 7 - great effect,but it is dull and...colorless

Mquadrat - 8 - its kinda empty..something is missing.

Magic - 9 - cool tunnel,looks sweet but it needs to be more flowy.

Raz - 10 - this is FLOWY,like a river,but there are too many colors and it ruins the aspect a bit.

Siddhartha - 11 - spooky,good FPS rate and great beat detection.

Shreyas - 12 - cool preset,good colors!

Stardust - 13 - great looking,the d=-d movement goes great in here!

Tuggummi - 14 - i love this!!!!! I dont know why,but its sooooper !

Atero - 15 - great looking preset,but the beat detection sux a bit.

Shock Value - 16 - OK. You are the WINNER d00d! Best DM , best FPS rate , best colors , best preset. Congrats :D

I believe this was quite an objective and clear review.Lets wait for doggy and zevensoft to give points and see who won... We already know I won but lets make it official :weird:

I agree with atero too. *i know i didnt use the edit button,it would have fucked up the aspect of the review*

Atero - 15 - great looking preset,but the beat detection sux a bit. <- man, i thought that one of the best things about it was the beat detection :(

and...for someone who's had "PLEASE USE THE EDIT BUTTON" in his sig for several weeks i don't think there's much of an excuse for not using it.


congrats, shock value, you won by a landslide ;) :up:

Lol... and now he's gone and changed his siggy! :D

Does anyone really give two shits whether someone uses the edit button or not, you're just going anal because you always go anal and you're not prepared to change. I am aware of the fact that i am going anal over you going anal, i can't even believe i'm posting this. Just shut the hell up or post something besides the problems with other peoples posting.

So what's the final rating now?

I get three again:(

I got a contest fer ya

really? maybe you should have started a new thread for this :p

right now, this is thread closing up the flow contest, the winners, and all that

Thanks to everyone who made presets or reviewed them! The AddBorders APE isn't critical, it's basicly like putting four n=2 scopes around the edges of the preset. I attached it for anyone who cares.

Points:

mquadrat - Vector Flow 1
Hungryskull - Jiggly Stuff 2
Super Toast - Frosty Oxide 3
Undefined - Hypnotism 4
Runar - (-)Ion 5
Ishan Rocky - Curves $ Colours 6
Atero - Trefoil 7
Siddharta - The Gloaming 8
Raz - ? 9
Magic - Organic Tunnel 10
Nixa - Another Flow Preset 11
Shreyas - Recall The Old Memories 12
Unconed - Daedalus 13
Tuggummi - Odour Control 14
Shock Value - Chrome Current 15
Stardust - Military 16

I explained why earlier. The order changed a bit after some thinking.

[bold] BIG [/bold] LOL @ Raz.
Is zevensoft going to post a review like ours or we declare the winners ?

I say we wait for Zevensoft, I don't know how much difference it will make, it looks to me like Shock Value is doing pretty good, I don't care, I'm happy to get three points in one reveiw!

So I say we publish it now. I can make the installer, what do you think?

do the installer but dont publish it yet...lets wait for all to give the OK...ok? : D

Bah, dont wait for me.

We kinda have to, Zevensoft, there are 2 draws (some presets have equal number of points).

umm...how exactly did you gave points to presets zevensoft ? i have some trouble understading your "review"...

I took my other review and gave +5 to first, +4 to second, +3 to third, +2 to fourth and fifth, and +1 to worthy mentions

So have all the judges gave the points yet?

Zevensoft, you gave points to both of Atero's presets, you should fix that. And do you REALLY think Stardust's preset shouldn't be given a single point ?!?!?
I know I'm nagging you and I'm getting a bit irritating, but it would be really helpful if you would just rate presets like other reviewers.

I hope i'm not sounding rude but UnConeD's preset has qualified and has got many points , why?(no offense just a question)

is anyone going to bother creating a pack out of all the contestants who won something?

For the last damn time yes. We're still trying to figure out whos won and organise the reviewing, have some fucking patience, every few replies it's asking for the pack. It will come soon enough, shut up already.

look, I hate to be a wank zev, but if you could just do a review in the same format as the other two, and include just atero's treefoil, this whole ordeal would be over.

i think...

i agree with sid here.....

I still didnt understand zave's review....

Its quite simple. Read the review he gave 2 pages ago. He devided the ranking into multiple categorys, selected the best 3 ones gave em 5 to 3 points (and others that were worth mentioning +1). So whats the matter about this? I prefere this form of rating.

Btw, i personally don't care about who's won or not. It was a nice experience to do a preset having limitations so you're forced to optimize your code.

EOF

Yes it was a nice experience tho it did'nt end as well as i had expected:(

i guess you guys want a pack ;) Should the presets be ordered random or by quality ?

Bottom -> Top ordered PLEASE!

;)

come on phaze it has been decided before that the pack will be ordered form worse to best:rolleyes:

Im rethinking about that pack... I mean i am putting it into my next pack, so there isn't any sense adding it to a flow contest pack... besides im getting the feeling that no one is sure about the "winning order" or no one is ready to pimp the pack up, do the screenshots etc...

Let's just drop the whole thing?

yea, lets just drop this and concentrate on the upcoming tournament:)

Let's not..... I mean, let's try to actually finnish something ?

ummm magicX dude, right fair enough.. but 'm afraid youll have to pick one or the other, Zevs rating system only counted a cpecific number of places, so we cant give everyone a prize..

I think Doggy's right, we should just finish this whol thing.
Here are what i have got for the top 4 based one simply averaging a unified points system from the placings that the judges gave (4 for first, 3 for 2nd, 2 for 3rd, 1 for 4th, and zero for the rest)
Dont worry about that system, it works out just as fair, trust me.

OK: heres what I got:

1st! Shack value (Two firsts and a second, 11pts)
2nd. Stardust (a first and a fourth, 5 pts )
3rd. Tugg (two thirds, 4 pts)
4th. Unconed (two forths 2 pts)

hopefully people wll agree with this... and we can move on..
(for the love of god please)
