Question about startup.txt

[and303]

Hey guys, love Aeon and looking forward to customizing it like crazy.

A few questions:

1. I'm a little confused about the scripts. Is there a way to start Aeon standalone with all automatic slideshow and color changes OFF? So basically it would just save the process of having to change that setting every time the EXE is reloaded (which is about twice a minute when customizing scenes!)

2. Is there or will there ever be a way to control the settings from one monitor while the visualizer displays on another? I realize this isn't a professional VJ app, but it is the most promising music visualizer I have seen and I intend to push it quite far!

Thanks!

Hello and303

Not able to help you with question 1, try:- http://www.soundspectrum.com/support/contact.html

2. Is there or will there ever be a way to control the settings from one monitor while the visualizer displays on another? I realize this isn't a professional VJ app, but it is the most promising music visualizer I have seen and I intend to push it quite far!

Aeon is built to support, by default, a single monitor and Aeon consequently does not have controls for multiple monitors. The reason for this is that there are thousands of different combinations of video cards, video drivers, and operating system controls (more than we can currently support). However, most multiple monitor configurations have driver/system controls for managing multiple screens, so please review your existing system controls (or your graphics card driver features).

so, one way to control aeon without the interface is through the shift+w/shift+r scripts - press 'h' to see an overview.

One a script is made, simply put this at the top to disable slideshows:

SetSlideshowEnabled( CONFIG_ALL_TYPES, false );

You can then disable the ui and use shift+r, any key preset to control what you want to do.

Also, pressing 'f' disables all slideshows.

Ah, to be clear, putting this in startup.txt works as expected:

SetSlideshowEnabled( CONFIG_ALL_TYPES, false );
StartConfig( "ColorMap", "Insanity Vibes", ss_QuickTransition );
StartConfig( "Scene", "Astral Forge", ss_QuickTransition );
