- NoCrew delightningfully presents their constribution to
- the 1999 Whip! VLM competition. This years contribution
- was created completely and utterly by NoBrain. Even the
- ascii logo in this file was made by him. He is not even
- a graphical artist, so that was quite an accomplishment
- for him. The idea for this module presented itself upon
- NoBrain during a trip to the US, where he saw a disc in
- a shop, made up from hexagons, and which produced light
- flashes much like the ones in this module, and it moved
- to the music as well. For readability, the text you are
- reading will stop being justified at both ends, because
- frankly, it's not easy to write like this all the time.
-
- The module has a whole bunch of parameters. In fact,
- it's possible to have 11*2^54 different combinations of
- settings in it. That's almost 200 million billion ones.
- Cool, innit? Ok, so you won't be able to tell most of
- them apart, but that's besides the point.
-
- Here they are, anyway:
-
- JUMP THRESHOLD
- The volume needed for the lightning to change its
- general direction.
-
- MOTION BLUR
- Let the lightnings fade away.
-
- MORE BOLTS
- Get four more, smaller bolts.
-
- BLUE ENDS
- Highlight the ends of the bolts with blue dots.
-
- BOLT SPLIT LEVEL
- How strong the signal have to be for the lightning
- to split off.
-
- MAXIMUM SPLITS
- Maximum number of splits.
-
- MINIMUM SPLIT DISTANCE
- The minimum distance between splits. If this is at
- the lowest level, most splits will occur at almost
- the same place.
-
- SLOWDOWN VALUE
- This is used to let the lightnings move a little
- slower. Highest speed is usually too fast, so that
- it jumps around too much.
-
- SPARKLE THRESHOLD
- This determines how easy the bolt should sparkle
- to each side. A higher value usually looks better,
- but it depends on the music.
-
-
- This module can be used for most music, although I've
- found it to look best for music that uses much of the
- spectrum, such as hard rock.
-
- At the time of writing this, I've noticed a difference
- between Whip! and Miniwhip!, although NO/Escape says
- the routines should be exactly the same. Nevertheless,
- I think this module looks a little better when run from
- Miniwhip! Not that it looks bad in Whip! :)
-
-
- Well, that's all for this time. Enjoy it. And watch out
- for the next VLM from NoCrew, whenever that will come.
