AVS Tutorials

I'm rather tired of getting the same e-mails over and over, so I compiled a list of AVS Tutorials that I wrote on this forum. Feel free to post guides/interesting threads that you know.

Why don't you take 'em all and publish them on acko.net?? Or even better, create a library where all can add tips & tricks of avs.

One of my avs friends is also making a avs tutorial. If you're interested I let you know when avs tutorial is ready..

Well I'm going to convert Acko into a Drupal (cool content management system I develop on). That'll allow neat things like a MySQL database, user accounts, etc. I could turn it into an AVS site really that allows anyone to upload presets. Will take some work to get avs specific drupal modules done, but not too hard.

I've also written some more APEs which I use in Whacko AVS IV... they'll be released together on Acko in a few weeks

I never get along with the ape-stuff. Could you give me some hints how to create them using delphi??

UnConeD · 14th March 2002, 09:33

Because I really don't know Delphi (only C++) I can't really help you. I know there is a Delphi Visualisation SDK for Winamp, but not for APEs. You best bet is to try to port the APE SDK into Delphi (an APE is a regular DLL that is renamed). The Visualisation SDK won't be of much help, because APE's use C++ objects, while vis plugins use regular C function calls.

You can get the C++ APE Sdk by clicking the "Develop" tab and visiting the AVS section. Note that AVS is sometimes called 'WVS' too.

Here are the two official AVS guides.

This one explains the Superscope variables and the AVS language.

This one expains how to make a preset, and also how to use Effect Lists.

already downloaded all that stuff, but it seems that delphi is too diffrent from c, for instance in handling handles (funny expression)
