ryg, you seem to have destroyed my monitor.

just some stuff i had lying around. would've made it better (and not a minus release) if i had had the time before the deadline.

anyway, if you're into minimal hard techno, you'll probably even enjoy it (like rp and me :)

the music I enjoy, the rest.. well.. not so much 8)

cool screen effects, schöne optik. is it possible that you forgot to include an esc function or is it just my pc? :)

flashy and almost boring. promise me it won't fuck my monitor and i might run it again.
added on the 2002-02-25 21:42:02 by Zzed Zzed
Don't worry, most monitors are able to handle my VSync manipulation routine (I switch refresh rates several times per frame, so the monitor loses vertical sync and you see that scrolling effect). And flashing is harmless. At least for your hardware.

VSync manipulation? My digital TFT display doesn't show anything. Am I missing some serious stuff here?

stefancrs: The music is "Planquadrat 12b", the first track to be released by rp under the Rohformat label some years ago.

There was no vsync... Just a picture moving up and down... And i don't remember rebooting 3 times so the virtual device driver could install to let you do that sort of thing, either ;¬)
No, I didn't like this production. Music was uninteresting and quite static, same for the visuals.

rulez added on the 2002-03-02 17:38:25 by JaK JaK
Should've stated it in the readme... that tune is "Planquadrat 12b" by r.pries/rohformat, and was released by rohformat (ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/music/groups/bmp/rohformat, http://www.rohformat.de) quite some time ago (it's the first tune in the first release pack :)
added on the 2002-03-02 20:06:21 by ryg ryg
The tune kicks major ass and the demo is also rather interesting. for a while that is...

Farbrausch just gets weaker... I didn't really dig the supahkewl tune. Somehow, this prod reminds me of foobug's Who needs raytrace anyway? Probably no one else notices any similarities, though.

are my pupils enlarged only because of this demo ??

two effects, seven minutes, and i watched it three times in a row. you rock dudes !!

oh and the way it ends, something like, "hey the deadline is in 5 minutes" "ok let's stop the demo at this point and let's compile the release version !"

ok, i'll watch it one more time now =)
rulez added on the 2002-03-17 23:43:41 by florent florent
nah, this demo was mostly done AFTER the deadline actually :)

anyway, the thing I did last actually was including the two effects (ooold stuff from 2000 we never used... yet) in the script. everything else is more or less auto-generated :)
added on the 2002-03-18 00:22:22 by ryg ryg
Cool, watched it about 4 times in a row :)

Anyway, if there are vsync changes...
- Why does the blank black line chop, when the effect chops? :)
- Why does the noise filter apply to it too? :)
- Why can i make a screenshot of it? :)

OK, enough bullshit, minimal but cool :)

I'm sorry, I just can't stop watching it, it's hypnotic, the music is crazy.

rulez added on the 2002-04-10 14:34:53 by Sanx Sanx
the tune rocks. a couple of more effects would've been appreciated ;)
rulez added on the 2002-04-10 15:22:10 by fractalgp fractalgp
Gargaj,
a) because monitors are quite desperate to decode the sync signal and heavy changes in the picture will fool them. The change is from the forst visible rasterlnie on -> go figure
b) the noise "filter" is in fact "analog" by modifying the CRTC registers in a quite strange way. As all modern graphics cards are designed ti be VGA compatible without any overhead, those registers work even on GF4s and such - and it's no problem to access them directly (win9x) or via undocumented IOPM management routines in the NT kernel - go search for the "portmap" driver to find a description. Anyway. With careful modification of some CRTC registers you can modify the RGB output lines a bit - and that's why the noise is visible even in the VSync blank period. period.
c) under D3D, Windows doesn't have access to the frame buffer. Thus, it uses some strange method for back-sampling the CRT signal via some mostly undocumented A/D and bus mastering circuits. At least on NVidia cards, which I assume you have. That way, it will sample x lines from a VSync on, where x is the actual nubmer of lines. D3D screen shots may look pixel perfect, but they arent - hey, LCD displays work, why not that :)

at least i have access to the framebuffer and do not need this A/D :) to convert back, which of course makes a very subtle but noticeabl difference which once again proves opengls superiority even with simple screenshots :P

added on the 2002-04-17 10:07:51 by shiva shiva
OK, last rant: My monitor does this wobble effect (it shows a dim, vertically stretched picture for a few seconds) after every damn modecnahge, refreshchange, vsync, anything... Haven't appeared during this demo tho...

...OK, I admit, I'm lame in hardware-manipulation, now hit me :)
added on the 2002-04-26 12:26:22 by Gargaj Gargaj
The wobble-effect only occurs when the monitor settings change in such a severe way that the monitor needs to realign all the internal circuitry and so on and so forth. Handling vsync changes (like in kb's effect) would also normally result in such behaviour, but since the changes are so minimal the monitor is still able to maintain sync and keep showing you the picture (although it still 'messes up' the vertical position, but that was the intention of the effect).
added on the 2002-04-26 13:42:53 by sagacity sagacity
yeah, "it was coded at the party" and everything... but i didn't like it anyway :p

Well, the lost vsync effect is a nice idea and well done, but the rest of it is simply boring.

-quite nice music
-like the green line stuff
-bit boring after a while

Love the use of VSync modifications to make the scrolly effect, even tho its the kinda thing used on those Japanese cartoons tht have now been banned ;) Nice anyway, hope it doesnt damage my monitor (I assume it hasnt been tested for monitor damage)
