MilkDrop Fans... This Is A Must-Read! Rovastar Totally ROCKS!

Rovastar, (IMO) the best MilkDrop module artist has developed a new module called "Rovastar - The Shroomery"
I just noticed it last night, which prompted me to see if he's a member here. He IS! (Rovastar2) I read his last post and found links to d/l R4... His OWN version of MilkDrop. Get WinAmp 5.2 (Full) (then you'll have the 'Rovastar - The Shroomery' module in MilkDrop) The attached file is a keygen to make it WinAmp PRO.
But that's NOTHING compared to the R4 visualization!
EVERYONE MUST CHECK OUT R4 if you haven't already.
It TOTALLY overheats my video card!! Makes that fan WHINE!
It does some AWESOME stuff!! You've gotta play with settings, overlays, key assignments, etc... Customize it and it'll blow you away.
If you've all known about it for some time, sorry for the late excitement and if it's news to you, lemme hear what you think.
ROVASTAR, YOU ROCK!! 
Download and install This (R4) Visuslization Then get the extra modules/scenes: These and these and others if you like.... Mess with all the settings and overlays and key assignments... I's easy and AWESOME!

I'm having a blast with R4... It blows MilkDrop out of the water.
I cloned my desktop and ran it on two monitors at once, Mind blowing! The tunnels and embossed overlay is damn trippy.
Definitely the closest thing I've ever seen to actual psychedelics.

Yes, it did. But apparently never got popular since everyone still swears by MilkDrop.
Once you see what R4 can do, you'll think MilkDrop is a joke. Try it.

What in the goddamn hell is MilkDrop? What are you talking about? I really wish people would provide some context when they make posts like this.

MilkDrop is the name of a plug-in for Winamp. It has cool, trippy visulization that go (somewhat) to the music winamp is playing.

MilkDrop is a visualization plugin that comes with WinAmp.
I thought most everyone knew that. Sorry.

Looks cooler than MilkDrop to me thx 
But how do I get rid of the "Not for commercial use" banner? That is real annoying.

Well, there are two ways.. You can buy the registered version from Rovastar for 200BP or... Set your resolution higher than your monitor size so that the borders disappear (scrolling desktop mode). With some monitors/video cards, that's not possible though. It all depends on your equipment and OS and drivers.
Regardless of the "this version is not for commercial use" banner, it's still a very cool visualization plugin.

I only get half or so of the visualizations to play. A few will play and then it'll be some chopped up, weird image that isnt coming through or something, and then back to one or two more visualizations?
Maybe my graphics card/computer just sucks?

Oh, you could also put in windowed mode, maximize the window and then use XP's accesibility feature "zoom" to zoom into the window, eliminating the banner.

It does require a lot of graphics resources, fast processor, etc.
I run an AGP8X PNY Verto (nVidia GeForce FX 5900XT) w/128M DDR and it gets superheated doing the complex stuff. I never heard the video card fan whine so loud before I started running R4 on two monitors.
So, yeah, your computer may not be able to handle the complex scenes.

I know.. It is a rediculous price.
He should let Shroomery members have it for cheap.

Ah, no problem. It's just that the same thing just happened with some bittorrent-related thread in S&T. I was starting to think this whole place turned against me.

Man, set overlays "Embossed" "RGB" and "Tunnel"...
Set some keys to; change scene, lock current scene, remember scene, recall scene, and WinAmp keys for Next Track, Previous Track, and Pause.
Then go through the scenes with the lock on. Fuck with other overlays too... It's endless and really easy and damn amazing.
Hours of tripping without drugs.

Hi folks thanks for the comments.

Hey Rovastar..
That price makes me want to set this up and charge admission fees just to spite him.
Actually the money goes to my mate Gordon Williams who wrote the original engine for R4 not me. And it is designed for commerical use really. If you run a festival, busy nightclub, etc the cost is not so much - obviously for home users it is. (And old version R2 was shareware for like $10 or something and it had over a million downloads and used at large nighclubs and festivals of tens of thousands of people. Guess how much in shareware donations where received....yes that's right folks....zero.zip..Sort of disappointing when others obviously are making a lot of money off your work)
But at the same time we wanted something free for everyone to use - fully functional - admittedly with the nag scroller text.
Also one of the mods here Effed did some artwork/textures for it too.
For those with fast/gaming machines there is an update for R4 here: http://www.rabidhamster.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=539&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 You could just look at the screenshots if you like.
Anyway progress has been made on something all new now. Several new scenes are done taking advance of the advances in new computer technology. Although this has been a long time coming hopefully there will be something hitting your screens soon.
