Add-on etc compatibility

(1/4) > >>

Mincus:
Might be a bit early to ask this, but will there be compatibility with the old add-ons using the same WM_COPYDATA interface (http://www.audio-surf.com/forum/index.php/topic,2885.0.html)?

If not, will there be a new interface for add-ons or will some of the features add-ons provided be implemented into Air directly (tagging, full playlist support being the two main ones)?

This is of course assuming the [as- tags are being supported, which I guess is another question. :)

Finally, there's the texture sets people have put work into, will those still have some level of applicability or not?

blue_h3x:
Part of the 'coolness' of AS is the ability to alter the textures and appearance to some degree, it would be nice to see this kept.

chimaeraUndying:
Some form of official add-on / texture and model mod support would be pretty neato.

ViRUS:
I wouldn't mind re-programming YAAP from scratch one bit...
Also, following Dylan's steps it'd allow me to change to a better language as well (VB to C# ;))

Dylan:
Textures should move across pretty easily.  WM_COPYDATA support isn't likely though.

I'd like to support gameplay mods more fully than as-tags.  I don't know if anything like this will make it in, but I have been experimenting with Lua integration.  There's a little test here that let's you livecode a music visualizer.  Warning: performance is terrible, but that's because it's using a Lua interpreter built in C#.

Just follow the link and click the "load code" button.  Then you can mess with the code and reload it:

An easy code change to try would be messing with the color.  You could change this line:
cubes.renderer.material.color = color(2*myintensity, .4, .9)
to:
cubes.renderer.material.color = color(2*myintensity, .95, .1)
