Infinity -- An XMMS Visualization Plug-in
|

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

Infinity is a XMMS plug-in which generate full-screen interactive light effects
|
|
according to a music.
|
|
|
|
The installation can be done by a very standard ./configure && make && make install
|
|
|
|
To run the plug-in,
|
|
-run xmms
|
|
-enter the visualization plug-ins menu (Ctrl-V),
|
|
-choose Infinity.
|
|
-choose Configure, and your resolution.
|
|
-choose Enable, and press Tab to enter Full-Screen mode.
|
|
-to stop it, press Tab again and disable it.
|
|
|
|
You can change the resolution in the configuration menu. In full-screen mode,SDL
|
|
should choose the best possible resolution according to the resolution you asked
|
|
for. For example, 640x300 will display a letter-box screen in 640x480.
|
|
See SDL section for more information about the scale factor.
|
|
|
|
You don't need to be root to enter the full-screen mode.
|
|
|
|
There is two different modes in this plug-in, the default mode is non-interactive:
|
|
|
|
-Non-Interactive Mode:
|
|
|
|
States and palettes are selected randomly, and change sometimes.
|
|
|
|
Keys:
|
|
- Space: change effect.
|
|
- F12: change palette.
|
|
- Tab: toggle full-screen.
|
|
- Enter: switch to interactive mode.
|
|
- F11: screenshot
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Interactive Mode:
|
|
|
|
You can control the effect:
|
|
|
|
Keys:
|
|
|
|
- F12: change palette.
|
|
- Tab: toggle full-screen.
|
|
- Enter: switch to non-interactive mode.
|
|
- F1-F10: choose transformation vector field
|
|
- a,z: change curve 1 lighting
|
|
- q,s: change curve 2 lighting
|
|
- e,r: change curve 1 amplitude
|
|
- d,f: change curve 2 amplitude
|
|
- w: change curve 2 type
|
|
- mouse: change curve 2 position
|
|
- F11: screensh
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
Speed:
|
|
------
|
|
Infinity need a smooth animation to be interesting.
|
|
To increase speed, you can:
|
|
-compile with pgcc and full (-O6) optimisations.
|
|
-use low resolutions and letter box effect.
|
|
In 320x160, it should run on a small pentiums.
|
|
|
|
SDL:
|
|
----
|
|
You must have installed a recent version of SDL(>=1.0.6) to run this program.
|
|
If you experience problems with SDL, refer to their documentation first.
|
|
If you cannot obtain low resolutions, you should add them to the
|
|
screen section of your /etc/XF86Config (you can use your X configurator
|
|
instead of editing it yourself). If and only if you cannot change your
|
|
XF86Config, you can change the scale factor in the preference menu. But
|
|
the program will be much slower.
|
|
|
|
Known Bugs:
|
|
-----------
|
|
Your X has to be at least in 16 bpp to make this program work. If you have more
|
|
than 16 bpp, it should work but may be very slow. If you still use a 8 bpp X,
|
|
mail me, I would really like to know if an implementation of it could interest
|
|
somebody.
|
|
Preferences cannot be saved, and cannot be changed while the plug-in is enabled.
