AudiosurfProdder - Adds easy tagging options.

[Mincus]

No, that would in fact be the easiest use of a plugin.
And I'll set it up so you can remove the main interface.

I gave a very simple example of a plugin before, but through some fancy reflection and an object I've written (in C# atm, I'll convert it to VB.NET for those running Express instead of Pro), you'll effectively get an API that will perform all the current functionailty of prodder through function calls. I'll document it all anyway when I get that far.

New release: v0.12.
Hopefully this will fix all the issues people have been having.

Biggest change is that you can change where the temporary songs are stored (by default Audiosurf Prodder asks Windows where the temporary directory is). See the "Options" menu item.

Additionally you can now load other tracks (other than MP3s). Can't re-tag these, but it will send them on to Audiosurf (before it just ignored hitting the play button). Setting the character works for these tracks.

I've included the following presets:
 * 4-lane mono-only: Pretty much what it says on the tin: [as-4lane] [as-monoonly] [as-lessgrey] [as-nostlth]
 * air-mono: Suggested in the new characters thread (http://www.audio-surf.com/forum/index.php/topic,1510.msg16265.html#msg16265), 5 lanes isn't possible, so I went for 4: [as-4lane] [as-monoonly] [as-lessgrey]
 * pirate-mono: New characters thread (http://www.audio-surf.com/forum/index.php/topic,1510.msg13626.html#msg13626), again 5 lanes isn't possible so went with 4: [as-4lane] [as-monoonly] [as-nogrey] [as-nostlth] [as-mt5]
 * widescreen: New characters thread (http://www.audio-surf.com/forum/index.php/topic,1510.msg15076.html#msg15076), can't change the "power ups" so instead I upped the white/black block percent to 33. Plays quite well: [as-4lane] [as-msz4] [as-wb33]
 * blinded: first-person and caterpillars make this very hard not to overfill on: [as-first] [as-caterp]
 * match21: Everybody mono, 21-matches only. Adds some extra difficulty to Mono. Very hard not to overfill: [as-everybodymono] [as-lessgrey] [as-nostlth] [as-msz21]
 * match24: Same as match21 with 8 rows: [as-everybodymono] [as-lessgrey] [as-nostlth] [as-msz24]
 * white-eyed: 75% white/black blocks makes for an interesting ride: [as-wb75]

There's also a "defaults" in there that will take you back to the game defaults with all tags off.

This is pure awesomness, Mincus!

[Mincus]

Hehe, thanks.

I really like this program. It doesn't have as many bugs as the other ones and it finally let me tag things without the need of keeping tagged copies of the songs. So nice work.

Also I came up with these presets that I liked.

Pirate-raid: Dual Vision pirate-mono: [as-everybodymono] [as-nogrey] [as-nostlth] [as-mt5]
Rush-hour: Turns audiosurf into one of those old dodge all the cars racing games: [as-4lane] [as-monoonly] [as-allgrey]

[Mincus]

Thanks again.

Attached .xml presets for gike's ideas. Just copy them to your presets directory.

Expecting an [as-steep] update

Expecting an [as-steep] update

Hehe, will do.
For now you can add it manually afterwards if you want.
Anything in the "title" text box when you hit "play" will be used as the new tag, so just adding [as-steep] before you hit play will work.

I know it's been a long time since there's been an update on your Prodder, but I would like to report that there are some mp3's that AudiosurfProdder can't handle (but no problems on Audiosurf). Every time, when I open a certain mp3 file, the existing tags are left empty and says instead "<Unable to read song information>". Even though I've filled in the tag below, pushing Play brings me instead to an error window. Are there any sources behind this incompatibility?

I might send in an error log if you need it.

[Mincus]

Hmm. It's possible the tag is in a format that the tag reader doesn't like.

I am (slowly) working on a new version and I intend to completely change the tagging system, although I've not decided 100% on how yet.
Using the same tagging library as Audiosurf makes the most sense, but I'd have to write a C# interface for it myself first and I'm not that confident with the C/C++ -> C# interface as yet.

You could try removing all the tags (ID3v1 and ID3v2, plus whatever else is on there) then re-add just an ID3v2 one using a media player (I recommend WinAMP as it has detailed information on MP3 tags). That SHOULD fix things, I think.

Amazing eh?
Who thought humans had 2 sexs.

I thought it better to over-simplify than confuse matters. I am better at the latter than the former.
