Milkdrop presest pack

[Abydos]

Concerning the one that ravermeister compiles (maybe his project should be stickied guys?)

http://sourceforge.net/users/ravermeister85

Whenever I click the latest revision and then browse it's files, the file is the same size and is dated as 2011-07-24 . Am In fact always getting the original version or is it dated from revision 1 even if I d'l the latest one. It was annoying me, thanks!

Btw keep up the great work guys

I am seeing the same thing. Not sure what to do about it.

[ravermeister]

Hi, Thats because the Source Code is independend from the NSIS Installer.

I Compile the NSIS installer from Time to Time and upload the executable to the
Sourceforge site. (but 24.07.2011 is the latest)
but if you Browse the SVN repository, you would see that the Sources are Java Code.
when it's finish, it gives you the possibilty to upload/download your presets from an
server via ftp and http, and basic editing of presets.

hope that helped.

The Preset Downloader is ready,

it is a Java Program, that connects to an update Server and fetches
all new Milkdrop Files.
additionally you can edit some attributes of a Milkdrop file (e.g. Shader Version)

currently I am the only one who has the Login Data for Uploading presets.
but if any Preset maker is interested in Uploading his data too, we could talk about that.

here is the Download link:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mdpresetpack/files/milknsugar.zip/download

Kind regards Ravermeister

Just use the old one for now, because the free ftp server has
an update limit of 4MB for ftp files.
so the update could fail. i am searching for a new server, in
the meantime use the old nsis installer

currently fighting with d.r.u.p.a.l (why the hell is this word censored????) to build a Milkdrop Module with a Upload Formular
and cron for building downloadable zip file and the web downloader.

work in progress site here: www.milkdrop.tk

additionally my dream is that you can rete/discuss/browse through the presets, and select the one's you like to create custom preset packs.

any help is appreciatted.

...currently fighting with the cron and queue api from d.r.u.p.a.l

code:
https://api.d r u p a l.org/api/d r u p a l/modules%21system%21system.queue.inc/group/queue/7

anyone good knowledge in it?
not all my queue jobs get executed when cron runs.... I could provide code if someone wants
to contribute. just contact me here: www.rimkus.de.be

just removed drupal from the censor word list. and it would have been added to the list years ago.

[ravermeister]

Thanks drO
sadly I'm not allowed to edit this post anymore (as it is older than 180 min)

so here is the corrected link to the api im struggling with...

Great to hear this, I'm replicating the news here. Good luck with your project!

EDIT / PS: And please tell me when the site / project is fully live (or close to) so I can give it another push (through Winampers or facebook, etc)

Hi all,
I recently spent again some time with drupal,

and now I've got a working custom drupal module which does the following:

• provides an upload web form, for uploading presets/textures
• validates the files, and checks if a preset/texture with that name is already in the db
  if yes->check the modification date,
  if newer->check sha1 value
  if differs->import in db
  else
  import in db
• run a scheduled task to create a zip file containing all imported presets and provide a download link.

more ideas are on my mind like creating custom preset packs and rating,
but I think the most important work flows are done.
and more will come with more time
--> feel free to support
(I use mercurial as version control system, and could commit the project to e.g. bitbucket)


now I need the Preset Authors, please register, so I can give you the permission
for uploading presets (I don't want to let anyone upload files...).

and hopefully this will become a fixed place for getting milkdrop presets
the url to the site is: http://www.milkdrop.tk

Kind regards
Raver

Ey! so long no see! Good to know the beast it's alive, hope you're lucky getting preset authors back on track (at least to submit), most may be unreachable now (though I think it would be a bit easier than skinners, those were too many and are too spread..). I know just of a couple you can reach now (Flexi and Martin, but you probably know about them..).
