AlienFX Pidgin + Winamp plugin

[CGSDR]

I am getting totally different codes than you but still no progess.

But can you run it with the config panel as well?

Don't exactly no what your talking about but i go through the test program fine and i get all the files in the right place. The plugin alienfx visualation configuration seems to pick up sounds from music because the bars move up and down. When clicking on start in the preferences it doesn't seem to do a thing. the keyboard continues with the theme i have set thorugh command center. I wonder if the problem is between the vis_winamp_-alienfx-plugin.dll and the libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll which would explain why the test program changes the lights on the keyboard and why the plugin doesn't but would think if it would work on other alienfx models it should work the same the the m14x. dunno...

I meant the Winamp Config panel when you start the plugin. And on my M14x, I can access it no problem, just problem is that the lighting stay the same.

Believe we are having the same problem. It sounds like the plugin is going to have to be reprogrammed specially for the m14x because dell probably changed something.

[Ingrater]

Only partly true. They didn't change that much otherwise the led tester wouldn't work. I would need someone who owns a m14x to help me out here.
If you want to help out please send me a pm with some contact data (msn / skype).

If you're unsure about working with Ingrater, know the following:

1. He is very professional and puts in a lot of time to work with you once you figure out common times you can work.

2. He will remote into your computer and run some tests. From time to time he'll ask you for some input, but a lot of it is allowing him to do some things on your laptop. You can see everything he's doing.

3. You don't need a ton of computer knowledge to do this. It's helpful but all you really need is a computer and the ability to communicate with him.

In short, our experience was great. It's pretty cool to think that someone in GERMANY is writing a plugin for a laptop with a potential HUNDREDS of effected people, all from the comfort of your HOUSE!

Well, I will willing to help. Because it will not only help me to get this plugin working, but like you said, for others as well. As long as it is not damaging the keyboard's lighting, then it will be no problem with me, as I dont have important files or stuff like that store on my M14x - only games lol.

Ingrater,

I just want to say awesome job on the plugin! It's really cool, especially at parties!! I do have a question, though. Is it possible to have the plugin work with line in audio? I use my rig (Area-51 m15x) to DJ using Virtual DJ, and it would be awesome if my AlienFX would sync to the music using that program. Is there any hope? Thanks again!!

Where is the Virtual DJ plugin? Or wich one should I use?
I have managed to do a lightshow with virtual DJ but not like in winamp or wmp, it was just a simple pattern that looped. Has anyone managed this?
Here is a video that shows what im talking about. AlienFX + Virtual DJ + Propellerhead Reason + Xbox 360 Controller - YouTube
Thanks.

I'm sure this has been asked before.
I just wanted an update on that.
Anyone got this working with M18x yet?
Used it on my M17x and absolutely loved it.
M18x came with something like this already but doesn't work as well.

I will pay you to make a profile for orangebox engine games (CSS, TF2, DODS) to work with AlienFX Lite/AlienFX. They are the only games I play and I never get to see the light shows

If such a customization/plugin exists already, please indulge.
