Original --

Code that calculates the wave movment based on different variables..

Motion Vectors --

Cx and Cy --

A not so good mod (yet) im still working on it.

Bouncing Ball Code

A code that simulates a bouncing ball.

------------

Ripple Code
Author -- Krash

A code that simulates a "ripple".

Unchained Beat Code

The beat detection code Unchianed wrote.

------------

Unchained and Che beat detection
Author -- Che and Unchained

Originally Che's beat detection code that Unchained modded.

------------

Counter System
Author -- Zylot

A code thats basically a replacement for the time variable. But dont sell it short, It has great uses.

idiot beat code
Author -- idiot

A code I wrote for beat detection (inspied by unchained) still a off (or alot )

------------

Timed Variables
Author -- idiot

Nothing really special about this.. It is basically a bunch of sine waves on different frequencies.

------------

Thresh Code
Author -- Geiss

A very nice beat detecion code. To see it at its best check out the Geiss - Shift preset.

------------
Custom Zoom
Author -- Geiss

A code that creates zoom using dx and dy. You can change the way zoom interacts with zoomexp and a few other things.

------------

Blank

A blank preset

Maybe Rova will make this sticky this time
And if anyone has anything to add just post it below.

[Zylot]

you whore, it's more then just a time replacement.. it's a system that allows you to setup special events and dramatically change the preset during intervels on a relative level without progress, with varying speeds.

[ryan]

And if anyone has anything to add just post it below.

[Rovastar]

Ok stuck.

Well done.

Also useful is the shift code and as this is your little project could we change them to have a little more so that the beat code does stuff where possible. Say for Krash's beat code ib_a = beat or zoom = zoom + beat or something together with a few comments.

Idiot do you fancy writing up this for the tutorial on the website. Actually that is in need of an update if is months out of date anyone fancy doing stuff for it????? We have some new faces since the last update here too (and an old one who returned to the fry )....any takers?!

[ryan]

Just tell me all you want me to write rova I would do it BTW can you fix my post on the indecisive part it says mod by wave mod by.. and it should say MV mod by

[Zylot]

Idiot: You fergot rovas multiple centers of rotation code

[ryan]

What preset is it in?

[Zylot]

I whole bunch of um, like Jesters

[ryan]

Here is a Milkdrop Basics I wrote in .milk format

I uploaded this to my site so if there are errors I can re-upload it and not have a bunch of crappy ones on here.

I've been working on the tutorials about how to use the "codes" for the site Rova. I just haven't been working as much. I have a few more to go and they will be finished. I will also try and include the "multiple centers of rotation" code if I don't forget

[Rovastar]

Cool I look forward to it I might do some work on the tutorial myself. They are in need of an update. It has been a year I think

[ryan]

I just noticed i've been here for a year now

[Krash]

Yeah, my tutorials are pretty out of date now. I worte them for v1.0, I think, so there's been some features added in since then.

Idiot, FYI, the multiple centers of rotation first appeared in my two "War Machine" Presets. This was quickly followed by some collaborative efforts producing "Indecisive Mosaic" (Which is still one of the most gorgeous presets, IMO). Shortly after, Rova modded the code and produced "Cerebral Demons" - Which he uses to plug milkdrop when he gets the chance =]

The actual multiple centers of rotation code is pretty simple:

- From War Machine (Shifting Complexity) -
per_pixel_1=cx = ((0&(x*q2-0.5))+0.5)*q3;
per_pixel_2=cy = ((0&(y*q4-0.5))+0.5)*q5;

Where:
q2 is the number of centers horizontally
q4 is the number of centers vertically
q3 and q4 are half of q1 and q2 respectively (calculated that way to cut down on the number of operations - using ...*q2*0.5 would have worked fine)

q2 and q4 can be set to fixed numbers (Indecisive Mosaic, Cerebral Demons), to whole values (War Machine Shifting Complexity), or to oscillating values (I made one, but I can't remember it now). It's also possible to add offsets to change where the centers of rotation are "centered" on the screen (Indecisive Netting)

Have fun putting the tute together - I look forward to reading it =]

[ryan]

I don't think I'll have much fun, But it will be a challenge

I'll get to work when I get home from school (around 7/8 hours )

[Rovastar]

hehe krash plugging MD well someone has too.

Also ANd I cannot remember exactly as not at home at the moment.

If you take the line
cx = ((0&(x*a-b))+b/10)*a/20;
where a = the amount of circles and b is the 'offset' value. If you use a forumla like above (I think it is that...(a any number above 2 andb below 1 I think..) The centers of rotation will remain 'static' and the is no 'drift' across teh screen. They are more symeticial.

[ryan]

Rova, Bang on your keyboard a few times j/k

Thanks for the extra stuff.. I'll get to work as soon as im done w/ my homework (damn you Mr. Bond and you 3 chapters/ night homework )

[ginkner]

Uhh...I like the files, but unfortunatly, I have no clue as to how to use them. Perhaps an example as to how it would be used might be included. yeah...oh, and hi.

[ryan]

Seems this little project of mine will never be finished. I sort of forgot about it, but now these forums have hardly any activity. Maybe if interest picks up again, I'll start it back up.

[ByteMeHard]

Please finish ryan! I just finally upgraded my computer to the point that I can use Milkdrop fullscreen beautifully, and I'm also taking some college math classes and can actually begin to grasp some of the programming and math that encompasses the presets and art/math/fractals behind all this! Heck, I even registered to the forums just to post and ask you and learn more I'm so intrigued now. I'm game, please let me learn more!

[Psimyn]

Byte, I am in a very similar situation to you. I have just started making some basic presets, though i feel i am here a few years too late.

Anyways, this is a registration of interest - ryan: start it up again!

[ryan]

Hmm..

It's funny how when I posted all this I was in highschool. And now I've been out for a year.

Time flies.

If anyone wants the tutorials I made just post here and I'll email them to you.

edit: Actually, they've been lost over the years.

edit 2: 5 years, holy shit. I didn't realise it was that long.

If they should turn up again I'd love a copy.

Time does fly, doesn't it..

[redi jedi]

I've got a partial tutioral i was working on for the beta, I would donate that to the cause, its no where near done but theres some good stuff in there

Sorry dude. Unless anyone else has them, they're gone. I haven't used milkdrop in a few years (at least to make a preset)

I can't use it now, unless there is a nix port.

Damn just noticed that. Thanks Flexi

[Flexi]

wow, sorry

[Laulite]

I'm looking for the milkdrop.co.uk preset guide since the website is dead? Is anyone can share?

Thanks

have fun!
PS, everything is included in the plugin directory too. You can find a link in the configuration panel.

Wow I have very old account here

wow indeed i think my true ideas start here
