Friendly Greetings! This is my second attempt to make blank plates for VCV Rack! I have been inspired by Omri Cohen so a big thank go to him!
First of all, a huge thanks to David O'Rourke who migrate the plugin from VCV 0.6.2c to VCV 1.1.4! It would be impossible without his help to have this new version!
The technical part (coding, understanding how stuffs work) is given by David O'Rourke, Clement Foulc and VCV Rack since I've mostly "steal" all the informations from them! Also, thanks to Andrew Belt for pointing me out the DRY Principle that helped me out refining the last bits of my GitHub.
1024 thanks to Nik Jewell for providing the Mac version of the plugin and to him and Jeff Orgill for proving me that the source code works properly both on Win & on Mac (I have good chances that it will work on Nix systems as well, at this point)! I am not sure about the Mac version, despite the good effort of Nick. The source code works 100% for Nix and Win systems so it is legit to think that it should work for Mac as well. Please, feel free to correct me eventually. The Mac version is still downloadable for VCV 0.6.2c.
The fonts I have used are all free and freely downloadable from these sites (or from my repo):
Ditto for the pictures I have used in my plates.
Chiptuner 2019 Seamless Edition is available for free. Feel free to download it, use it, redistribute it as you will. If you are thinking to earn some money from it, please at least drop me a message and say "thank you"! I'd appreciate it!
I made some correction in the PNGs files, added the 2HP panel and added a whole new series of panels you can find under the menu "Extreme" when you rightclick on panel: basically there are 3 choiches now, BASE, ALTERNATIVE and EXTREME (the first row of panels is the base one, the second row are the alternative, the third one are the extreme).
The Seamless Edition got some backgrounds made seamless (meh) so that the panels can be added and the overall look is way more pleasant!
Oh, and put a couple of reference for old C64 gamers like me! If you spotted it and recognized it, drop me a line here or in the VCV RACK group in Facebook! I will be very pleased to meet another hard core gamer!
Yeah, because it takes a really hard core gamer to spot the loving obeisance to the fabulous era of C64 games so my best compliment to Peraza Santiago that has been able to spot the first one! Yay!
If something is wrong or not working properly, please let me know!
So far (August 2019) I still haven't figured out how to compile for Mac or GNU/Linux but some users from the Official VCV Rack Group on Facebook told me that the source files are ok and they have been able to compile the plugin for Mac (there is a downloadable version here made by Nik Jewell so if you can compile it for Mac or GNU/Linux and want to:
- explain me how to share your file here (you know... Issues and/or pull requests and stuffs like those...)
- send me your zip file so that I can slap it here (with the dued credits, of course!)
Thanks to the willing and generous contribution from Steve Russell, Evan Murray and @pachde , @baconpaul , @Jens.Peter.Nielsen , @Ahornberg , @cschol , @Yeager from VCV Rack formum, here it is the new 2.0 version of my blank panels! Thank you everyone from the bottom of my 8 bit earth!
Have fun and keep twisting those knobs! :-P
