3d Timescope (for AVS2.70)

[skupers]

With the 256 variables of AVS2.70 (thank you, Justin!), I was finally able to make a 3d timescope. I'll tell you about some of the tricks used in the scopes.

It uses rounding to put the getspec data for 5 frequencies (gi0, gi1, gi2, gi3, gi4) in a single variable (g1):

code:


Frame:



gi0=((getspec(0,0,0))*100)%100/100;

gi1=((getspec(0.05,0,0))*100)%100/100;

gi2=((getspec(0.1,0,0))*100)%100/100;

gi3=((getspec(0.2,0,0))*100)%100/100;

gi4=((getspec(0.3,0,0))*100)%100/100;



g1=gi0+gi1*100+gi2*10000+gi3*10000*100+gi4*10000*10000;

And then in pixel it puts all that getspec data in different variables (j4, j3, j2, j1, (j0)). j0 isn't actually created in the preset, it's included in the z1.

code:


pixel:



j4=(j/10000/10000*100)%100/100;j4=if(above(j4*10000*10000,j),j4-0.01,j4);

j3=((j-j4*10000*10000)/10000/100*100)%100/100;j3=if(above(j3*10000*100,j-j4*10000*10000),j3-0.01,j3);

j2=((j-j3*10000*100-j4*10000*10000)/10000*100)%100/100;j2=if(above(j2*10000,j-j3*10000*100-j4*10000*10000),j2-0.01,j2);

j1=((j-j2*100*100-j3*10000*100-j4*10000*10000)/100*100)%100/100;j1=if(above(j1*100,j-j2*10000-j3*10000*100-j4*10000*10000),j1-0.01,j1);

j0=j-j1*100-j2*10000-j3*10000*100-j4*10000*10000;

I have a question though: how many digits can a variable hold? This preset goes from 0.01 to 10000000, but if you could use more, a lot more frequencies can be included.

Is it possible to do some kind of int() function, because the way I round the numbers (var*100)%100/100 requires an extra line in the section with j4, j3, j2 and j1, because it rounds. That means that when var=1.67, it rounds to 2, when I want 1. The line j4=if(above(j4*10000*10000,j),j4-0.01,j4); can fix that, but an int()-like function would be faster.

i have no idea how that works but it looks great

[Deamon]

It looks neat Though would indeed be better with more frequencies. I can't help you with that though, my math level is very low. Sorry dude.

[Zevensoft]

Ah ha! Now I have an idea that will defeat UnConeD! >:]

[Deamon]

Yeah? You've seen his tokyo preset? Watch in on acko.net . If you defeat that, you're good

[dirkdeftly]

damn, whenever i have good ideas someone else does them first....:|

anyway, nice, but it could be a bit bigger...i mean, you're only really using 5 frequencies*12 memory=60 positions (correct?), and you could nearly do all that in the old avs....

[Yathosho]

maybe skupers is holding back the final (bigger) version for his pack?

[UnConeD]

Did you have to stretch the page?

Did doesn't look stretched on my computer...

Anyway, maybe you know how many digits a variable can hold.

It's Whitecap in AVS! Remember Whitecap? By good ol' Andy O'Meara? Yup I remember this. Very cool
