Done what I wanted - this is awesome.

Gonna play with the Ax stuffs and make them random but you get the idea.

That is most definitely the ticket.

Thank you.

Tweaked them a bit and added a bit more variety.

Enjoy.

OK, I know these are n00b questions, but I really want to see what these do! I know I need to save these code snippets as plain text (*.txt) files and put them in the appropriate directory. But, are they colormaps? flowfields? FFUnions? WaveShapes? Is there an easy way to tell the difference by looking at the code?

Also, is there a way to tell GForce to load this specific "effect" or do I have to wait for it to load randomly?

I apologize for the n00b questions...but could you help a brother out??

Feel free to PM me if you don't wanna clutter the board with n00b questions...

Welcome aboard!

These are Flow Fields.

These in fact do have to be saved as a clean text file (no RTF).

What I would do is create a TextEdit file in your FlowFields folder (BTW you might wanna empty out the other flowfield files and place them in a temp storage folder so that you can work with the two files only), hi-light the text of the code and drag it into the file you created. Then (and this is important) you need to choose "Make Plain Text" from the Format File. This will (hopefully) not only change from RTF to plain text, but also eliminate the hidden code that makes .RTF an unsuitable choice for G-Force files.

Each different effect type uses the same code language; but by the same token, each effect has its own specific formulas. For instance, the "i" function is used only in colormaps that don't have the .map tag at the end (I'm not sure what "i" precisely means). The "s" and "t" function is used exclusively in WaveShapes and is a timing control. "s" Refers to a random sampling of the sound input signal.
Take a look at a few examples from each kind of effect to get a better feel of it.

Also, when you open G-force, you can press the H key to get the console. These kontain the keystrokes you can toggle to manually change effects.

Others here can better tell you how you can use scripting prompts to create a timed series of effects that you have complete control over, i.e. what effects to use, when they change and so on. The Prefs file in the program can be tweaked further to control the rate of change in flowfield morphs, color changes and waveshape transitions. Check out the Customizing G-Force section in the Documentation folder for better explanations.
