New winamp 5 easter egg?

Weirdal · 30th November 2003, 22:36

ok, this works in the rc8 and beta 2 (maybe beta 1)
stretch the main window so you can see the beat visualation, then hold ctrl+alt+shift and click on the little 1 pixle center of the diamond (some times it can be hard to hit, so try again if it didn't work)
i have been visiting here for a few years, just recently signed up.
I dont think this was posted before, sorry if it was

to turn it off, just do the same thing again or restart winamp

Reaper · 30th November 2003, 22:51

lol. Nice find, and no, it hasn't been posted yet.

intoxiChaos · 1st December 2003, 00:52

very nice, lol, that's great

amano · 1st December 2003, 00:53

loool

who might ever want to turn this off!!!

Plague · 1st December 2003, 00:58

heh, I've seen screenies with them before, but never figured out how to enable them.. nice one

-Plague

Assmaster · 1st December 2003, 01:29

That must be the funniest thing I have ever seen. Headbangin' llamas... I will have to play some good metal now, to make it look realistic.

Plague · 1st December 2003, 01:31

too bad it won't stay open on restart.. :/
bartibartman: FIX!!!!

-Plague

amano · 1st December 2003, 02:57

yup, 2 days time...

the llama bug...

nloki · 1st December 2003, 03:12

lol, i like it...

all i gotta say is find a techno song for this

Paparazzi · 1st December 2003, 03:49

Well... never knew it was an easter egg, but I did go to the player subfolder under the Modern skin and renamed beat_l2.png to beat_left.png (or vice versa) and the same thing for the right and have them there permanently!

Anyways... this is nice cool way to get it too and much easier and fun

kiilu · 1st December 2003, 11:13

xebechene · 1st December 2003, 16:06

I didn't think about that, thanks for the tip.
But I still think bart should fix it

edit: nope, it's not the same, you still have the overlay which adds some ugly lines on top of the llamas..
Nope, we can't have that, baaaart: FIX!!

-Plague

will · 1st December 2003, 18:57

whee... you guys finally found it

Plague · 1st December 2003, 19:00

/me never tried that hard to begin with..
But yea..

Well... yeah... I just tried interchanging file names in my PC at work and

it does not work! Those lines you mentioned appears. The PC I've got in my office is a P IV 2.4Ghz 512ddr and 64MB Graphics. At home where I've got just a PIII 550Mhz, 512SDRam and 16MB graphics, it works perfectly

No lines, no probs whatsoever. And yes, both have XP pro on them. Wonder whats up... to top it, double clicking on the l2.png, r2.png, left and right png does not even display the picture on my Irfan view whereas it did so at home

Try enabling 'Show PNG alpha/transparency color' in Irfanview's properties (under 'Misc. 1').

squall14716 · 2nd December 2003, 04:17

Nice find.

apollos · 2nd December 2003, 08:04

hahaha, classic, shame those headbanging bishes aren't on the bar which you can minimise the player too, but that's asking too much ¬_¬

tee he he, llamas are funny

start78 · 2nd December 2003, 08:09

i think they don't bang, i think they are spitting... i filmed llamas once, never want to meet them buggers again!

kiilu · 2nd December 2003, 08:37

will... how many easter eggs are there?

Actually, this was the reason I had asked in the Winamp 5.0rc8 Discussion

Quote:

Wonder if there is a way of manually incorporating the VIS (Advanced Mde) that the MMD3 skin has into the Modern skin - You know... the one that has the lady singing and the lil group dancing.

Would this be possible by copying/ extracting a portion from the xml files?

Tried it and still does not show up!

arch_enemy · 2nd December 2003, 22:57

thanks Rellik. thats awesome. i have the headbangin' llamas and the transparancy bass easter eggs on.\m/

InvertedParadox · 3rd December 2003, 21:21

ummm, i went to try this, and i can see the llamas and all, but it drew attention to the fact that there is no beat recognition going on at all. the oscilliscope is a straight line. anyone know why? it was working about half an hour ago. . .

Aquatakat · 3rd December 2003, 21:25

Might be because you're playing a MIDI.

tolremeno · 3rd December 2003, 21:39

heh. I didn't even notice there was a beat meter. I hope they keep this in the final version: it's cool. Good spot.

Rock On Llamas!!! \m/
its pretty funny looking but its sweet prolly one of the best winamp eeggs

bgesley · 3rd December 2003, 23:02

hahah hysterical.

heres the farthest I could get their heads.

WHEREamI · 4th December 2003, 02:53

@InvertedParadox: Do you have DrO's Extended Playlist preview plugin installed? There's something weird about it that blocks the function of the vis data, so that might be it. could also be some other third party plugin.

Dazog · 4th December 2003, 03:47

they stay after you close winamp in post rc8 builds

Well, I copied the Irfan View ini file from my home PC along with those left and right pngs and now its all working perfectly

I've now got em shaking their heads to every beat ... and permanently!

//edit// I tried copying those pictures from the MMD3 skin and naming them left & right, but does not work with that! //edit//
