With some really bad luck, it was possible to crash inside std::string::resize() if the connection was disconnected right after sending the GET_TRACK command.
GNU Rocket ========== GNU Rocket is an intuitive new way of... bah, whatever. It's a sync-tracker, a tool for synchronizing music and visuals in demoscene productions. It consists of a GUI editor that runs on Microsoft Windows, and an ANSI C library that can either communicate with the editor over a network socket, or play back an exported data-set. Compile Editor -------------- GNU Rocket compiles using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. Open editor.sln and select "Build" -> "Build Solution" from the menu to build the editor. Compile Example --------------- GNU Rocket contains an example client called example_bass. This is a simple Direct3D 9.0 and BASS audio library application, that demonstrates how to use the GNU Rocket API. Before compiling the example, you need to make sure you have recent Microsoft DirectX and BASS SDKs. These can be downloaded from the following web-sites: http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/ http://www.un4seen.com/ The BASS SDK is installed by copying bass.dll, bass.h and bass.lib to the example_bass-folder. Once the prerequisites are installed, the example can be compiled much like the editor; by opening examples.sln and selecting "Build" -> "Build Solution" from the menu. Using the editor ---------------- The GNU Rocket editor is laid out like a music-tracker; tracks (or columns) and rows. Each track represents a separate "variable" in the demo, over the entire time-domain of the demo. Each row represents a specific point in time. Each row consists of a set of key-frames, which are interpolated over time according to their interpolation modes. Keyboard shortcuts ------------------- Some of the GNU Rocket editor's features are available through the menu and some keyboard shortcut. Here's a list of the supported keyboard shortcuts: Up/Down/Left/Right Move cursor PgUp/PgDn Move cursor 16 rows up/down Home/End Move cursor to begining/end Ctrl+Left/Right Move track Enter Enter key-frame value Del Delete key-frame i Enumerate interpolation mode Space Pause/Resume demo Shift+Up/Down/Left/Right Select Ctrl+C Copy Ctrl+V Paste Ctrl+Z Undo Shift+Ctrl+Z Redo Ctrl+B Bias keyframes Shift+Ctrl+Up/Down Quick-bias by +/- 0.1 Ctrl+Up/Down Quick-bias by +/- 1 Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn Quick-bias by +/- 10 Shift+Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn Quick-bias by +/- 100 Bugs and feed-back ------------------ Please report bugs or other feed-back to the GNU Rocket mailing list: rocket-users@lists.sourceforge.net Patches or technical questions can be sent to the developer-list: rocket-developers@lists.sourceforge.net
