requirements:

• a stronger pc with intel core i5/7 and 4 gb of ram is recommended if you want to use it with multiple applications
• windows vista, 7 or 8 for texture sharing. win 7 with aero turned on is recommended
• on windows 8 set vvvv.exe to windows 7 compatibility mode through properties to make shared textures working

installation:

for vvvv bundled version:

• place it somewhere

for standalone versions:

• place both md.mix and md.bot next to vvvv's folder which should be called "vvvv_45beta28.1". if you don't want that edit the .bat files to point to vvvv.exe with absolute path or relative path to the .bat file and the path after the "/o" argument should point to the corresponding patch absolutely or relatively to vvvv.exe

startup:

• for md.mix run "md.mix\_ui.bat" and then double click on the renderer button
• for md.bot run "md.bot\md.bat" or you can start several instances from md.mix as well

fixed in 1.1.1:

• fixed huge bug showing up when there's a second screen (windows couldn't be moved). i just didn't put a GetSpread after ScreenInfo. tactical-reverse-facepalm for that
• fixed flickering of images sometimes: that was facepalm worthy too
• fixed deepness in the sky md.bot patch what was acting weird.
• fixed unreliable DirectInput (switched from managed DirectX to SlimDX) for moving windows around
• fixed missing Connect (Transform) node in "worms" md.bot patch

what's new since 1.0:

• making advantage of texture sharing
• unified interface for md.bot (no need for 2 renderers anymore)
• new menu system based on regular C# forms
• drag and drop added to md.bot
• effects are controlled with HDE so almost all TextureFX filter is listed which is useful for VJing. it's still not absolutely compatible (it supports value datatype only)
• IRIS like sequencer is added to md.mix
• if the effects planes have so many sliders that they go "offscreen" you can scroll them with mouse wheel instead of the vertical mouse movement stuff
• the whole system is much faster now
• fft, scope and clock (tempo) is sent on shared memory from md.mix
• faders in md.mix reacts to raw kontrolleur touches on port 44445

upcoming in near future:

• VLC sequencer for md.bot so videos could be jammed in finally
• beat detection (currently i have licensing problems with that or need for regular Bass audio input not asio)

upcoming in far future:

• md.map: a whole new mapping utility basically a mad-mapper clone but with augmented 3D support and elliotwoods's calibrate-projector method and a mesh/svg editor and etc. etc. currently i'm at the planning phase with that. only the xml structure for the project files are ready

major known bugs (so i'm working on those):

• sometimes md.mix can behave strangely while adding or removing to the sourcelist
• some mysterious shit with menues and tooltips. i cannot even describe that but it's very rare (some was fixed since the tutorials)
• after opening a menu then rightclicking on another button with menu won't open that menu but stays with the previous menu. workaround: close the menu with leftclick somewhere else before opening another menu
• midi or osc learning from interface without opening TodoMap throws an exception and creates dosens of mappings of the same controller. it's a bug of TodoMap. i've already written a forum post about it let's hope for that new version what was floating among the screenshots
• exception during startup. i don't know what's that. ignore it and click continue

cheers! :)
