As I said in this topic http://www.audio-surf.com/forum/index.php/topic,6256.0.html , it would be nice if there was a right way to change the color of the road to, say, white, and keep the background black. It would also be nice if there was a randomizer option so that every song you play the color of the background, the road, and the filters (negative, rust, etc.) would all be different. So one song the game will be set to black road, white background, and the outline filter, and the next song it would be white road, grey background, and rust. Just an idea.

I'm sure that this could be programmed into one of the many apps if the commands exist...

With the current way AS handles texture reloads, this would cause a huge memory leak, and an inevitable crash...
Austria is just like Yorkshire, but they have bigger hills.... oh and they have real snow too

Changing the filters externally requires an Audiosurf restart and as h3x says, there's a memory leak every time a texture reloads.
It is all theoretically possible with the current set of commands, but you'd be waiting for Audiosurf to quit then restart for the filter change (which it's very slow at) or you'd have a memory leak that would get bigger for each new song (and Audiosurf crashes when you reload the textures more than a certain number of times).

Hoping the memory leak issue at least will be fixed if Dylan is still working on this new engine. (*hint, hint* ;))
