SEMV : The Sexually Exhilarating Music Visualizer

Written in C++ and using SFML with libsndfile and DecMPA, I have for you ief015's Sexually Exhilarating Music Visualizer because I can't really think of another name.


> Fireworks shoot and burst with the song
> Colours change with the intensity
> Waveforms with a ball to display progress through the song
> Particle fountains
> The orange orb dances to the beat and the blue orb expands with the bass
> Play whole folders
> Create your own visualizations with Lua scripting!


Example song packaged by UNICQRN http://soundcloud.com/unicqrn

Supported audio formats are:

MP3, WAV, OGG (seems to have issues decoding, can make cracking noises. This isn't me, it's libsndfile), FLAC, RAW, AIFF, SND, SGI, AIFC, Sun, DEC, AU, PAF, IFF, SVX, SF, VOC, W64, MAT4, MAT5, PVF, XI, HTK, CAF, SD2

No, this will most likely not run very well on granny's computer. You will need a half-decent machine. If not, you may need to change some settings in the configuration file. Or, you may download a premade settings.cfg file that you find suitable at the end of this post.
It will not run on integrated graphics with default settings due to an SFML issue. You may download one of the premade settings.cfg files at the end of this post.

If you are missing OpenAL32.dll, install the OpenAL runtime for Windows:
http://connect.creativelabs.com/open...ds/oalinst.zip

Latest version:
Download this shit right here for Windows: SEMV 1.4
You should also download the SEMV 1.4.1 Patch to fix a common "3-song crash" bug with SEMV 1.4. Just swap the EXE files.

Older versions (I don't know why you would ever need them but here they are):
semv 1.0 semv 1.1 semv 1.2 semv 1.3 semv 1.3.1


Lua Scripts (Place in the "lua" folder to install. If you made a script and want it posted here, send me a PM):
Only download scripts from developers you trust! I am not responsible for any damage or harm these scripts cause! I will review the scripts before I post them here.

Included Example script - by ief015
Waveform Explosion - by ief015

Get the included SEMV Lua Documentation here


Premade settings.cfg Files (If you are having issues with default settings, or need another copy of the original settings file, download and replace the settings file with one of these):
Default High-Quality Settings
Low-Quality Settings (Recommended for Integrated Graphics - Disables motion blur, lowers glowing effect quality, and disables AA)
Very Low-Quality Settings (Recommended for older machines - Disables Glowing effects and disables AA)

that looks sweet, i'll try it

[Mr Nagasaki]

I know you worked hard on it! It's great <3

[KillerTaco]

I love you now.

This is acting a bit weird for me. Resolution changes don't affect the window size but cause glow artifacts and framerate issues. The audio also crackles, while it's fine in my regular player.

Though it is a really kickass-looking visualizer, looks like a lot of work too. Nice job!

Supported sound files are: ogg, wav, flac, aiff, au, raw, paf, svx, nist, voc, ircam, w64, mat4, mat5 pvf, htk, sds, avr, sd2, caf, wve, mpc2k, rf64

Hmm... there seems to be a fairly popular sound type missing from that list... But no problem at all; media.io to the rescue!

I know, something's up with that and I'm not sure what it is... I've been trying to figure it out for quite some time why it crackles sometimes.

Really? I'll have to do a quick fix for that then.

Alright, I fixed the window size/artifact issue for now (it was a stupidly simple mistake, too :doh: ). Try redownloading using the same link.

SFML can't use MP3 because it's a commercial format.

Yup, works! I have to turn the glow down for higher resolutions though - it's pretty intensive! Straight from 100 to 17 fps at 1024x768 by toggling it.

It is legal for free and open source software to include MP3 decoders. Only commercial products need to have a license.

Hey, would you mind accepting my request on Steam? I'm the one with the flash avatar.

[sim642]

Awesome! It needs more different effects though, because it soon gets pretty boring with those few effect repeating all over again.

[Naelstrom]

This is wonderful, i love how everything has a glow to it.

[Thecoolgman2]

Where could I get the song used in the video? I love it, also nice work.

[Dr. Punchgroin]

The only complaint I have is the interface, otherwise this kicks ass. Amon Tobin (the guy who did Chaos Theory Soundtrack) is especially sexy.

I made the song for the video and for the example in the visualizer, they are both not finished yet actually (WIP's), ief put my soundcloud in the OP if you are interested.

Thanks! it means a lot, though I haven't finished a song in a while, just keep starting new ones :c

[Karmah]

Is there a way to build it into windows media player?

[Larikang]

It would be more useful if there was an option for it to use your sound card's output as its input. Then it would work with every media player out there. That's how Sound Spectrum's G-Force visualizer works and it is very convenient.

I've written an implementation for sf::SoundStream and sf::SoundBuffer using libmodplug. I can't find the link to the github-page, but here's the code

The implementation for sf::SoundBuffer looks a bit questionable... but it did work.
STATIC_INIT simply creates a static object and the code seen represents its constructor.
Also, an version of SFML 2 used creating this.

Use it however you want, no credits whatsoever required.

[yumi_cheese]

For me the yellow/orange pulsator at the bottom left makes my eyes scream for mercy.

[AntonioR]

I watched Krizik "singing" Fountain in Prag and this is way better. Great work.

[Anthophobian]

55gb of music and you're actually expecting me to convert a file to wav everytime I want to play something? MP3 compatibility plz.

[leontodd]

I love you.

[DeadKiller987]

The music I listen to doesn't make much effects :(

song_file=07itsonlyrockNRoll.ogg
song_vol=50 #volume from 0 - 100

scr_width=1270
scr_height=970
scr_fullscreen=0 #0 = windowed, 1 = fullscreen
scr_antialias=16

glow_size=16 #size of the glow effect, may cause visualizer to become unstable if too high
glow_colmul=4.5 #multiply the colours!

max_particles=8192 #the max amount of particles allowed

Say, I have a pretty good rig, what are the biggest values for some of these settings? (antialias max_particles stuff like that)

Edit: Oh great Snippingtool snipped part of its dialog and a tool tip...

I am adding mp3 support tonight after work. Also, the settings are able to go as high as you wish, just be nice to them. (AA I believe goes up to either 8 or 16.

And huzzah! My second highlighted thread :D

[MangoJuice]

I can't read the readme file, it's just a .file.

Edited:

Fixed it.

[Karmah]

It would be much better if you could easily listen to your music, like drag it onto the window.

[ief014]

I know, i hate the way you have to keep typing in music filenames. Once i get .mp3 working i may just make it so you select a directory and scroll through songs.

[Devil Traitor]

Can we also have sex with the music too?

[PacManPrince]

This is really amazing, but you should add some integration with other programs like WinAmp and Windows Media player as a plugin.

[smurfy]

I like how it matches the part where the song kicks off

Very nice, would be really cool if you could somehow integrate it with a media player using a plugin :P
