WinAmp Plug-In Tripex DirectX 3.12.6

Dom · May 7, 2003, 07:37 AM

Version 3.12.6 of the WinAmp Plug-In Tripex (DirectX Edition) is released!

Tripex is an freeware 3D visualisation Plug-In for WinAmp 2 and 3 which fades between many effects, animated in real time in response to the music.

What's New:
- Switched to DirectX 8.1 and added multi-monitor support. The simpler API should mean that the few hardware-specific bugs which I know about in the old DirectX 7 engine should be easier to find (or even better, just disappear in the conversion). All windowed settings and texture filtering settings are now picked automatically, but the fullscreen settings are still in the configuration panel. The porting has the following drawbacks; Windows 95 is no longer supported (DirectX 8.1 is only available on Windows 98 or newer)
- Software rending is no longer supported, though it was way too slow anyway
- Fixed: DirectX settings were being saved, but were reverting to defaults the next time the configuration box was opened
- Fixed: Cards with mipmap bilinear but not mipmap trilinear support were showing trilinear option but no bilinear
- Fixed: Crash when Tripex didn't shutdown correctly and prompted whether to continue starting next time
- Fixed: LightSphere effect flashing up briefly before fading in for the first time
- Fixed: Occasional crashbug in flowmap effect
- Fixed: WinAmp 3: Animation now pauses while window is being moved or resized (like it does in WinAmp 2)
- Fixed: WinAmp 3: Thinger icons were rubbish example component icons, and gave a popup message when clicked
- Fixed default texture settings not being loaded (so by default all but a couple of effects were disabled)
- Song name at start/end of song fixed
- Slightly improved the timing on WinAmp 3, allowing higher framerates (still not great)
- Name of new effect is displayed when left/right arrow keys are used

System Requirements:
- Pentium 266 MHz, 64 Mb RAM and Windows 98/ME/2000/XP.
- DirectX 8.1 compatible 3D accelerator
- Nullsoft WinAmp 2 and/or 3

I used to play this plug-in years ago and totaly forgot about it!
It's the best vis plug-in for WinAmp 2/3 in my opinion, and well worth the d/l.
Thanks for the post!
