avstut00 (Huh?)

[reidjudd]

Ok, I downloaded the simple
box project: AVSTUT00

Compiled with VisualC++ without problems
and this APE file was created:

c:/programfiles/winamp/plugins/avs/avstut00.ape

I shutdown and restarted WinAmp,
looked in the WinAmp
Preferences->Plug-ins -> Visualization

And there is no "Tutorials / BOX v1.0"
listed in the list.

So what else should be done
in order to get this most simple
APE to run?

I believe APEs run in AVS. So put it in your AVS folder, run AVS, and it should be in the Add menu.

Mind if ya could send me that APE since I don't got a C++ complier? That would be good!

Hello Robert Zaichkowski,

No problem.

Here is the compiled
project with the APE
The compiled files are
copied back to the top
level directory.

I copied both the avstut00.avs
and the avstut00.ape files to the
WinAmp plugin directory:

"C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\avs"

as suggested by "Lucid DM".
Then I exited and restarted WinAmp.

However, I still don't see any
simple box throbbing to the beats.
Let me know if it runs for you in
your environment.

Maybe somethings messed up with
my WinAmp environment.

Reading the WVS docs, I see that
perhaps we need some sort of .dll
to be created and placed somewhere
in the Winamp\Plugins directory.

Drat! The link does not work since it will only create a PHP file!

We found a bug in the Winamp
forums attachment process.

It creates the correct file (84859 bytes
in size) with the wrong name. Just
rename it to: 'AVSTUT.ZIP' and it will
open with your favorite de-zipper.

OK! I already got the file that you sent by e-mail, Reid! And I wrote to you about what was wrong!

Umm...in MY C++ compiler, it won't open correctly, and it doesn't look like the needed header files are there...help? (Maybe I should go back to rhide...)

You made an *APE* object witch is a file that is used in avs.
Start avs & check in...
