Usage

Copy FFGLDummyParams.dll into (Resolume dir)/plugins/vfx folder to use default effect settings as shown above

Customising parameter names

If you want to customise parameter names you will have to install the FFGL SDK and rebuild the project. If that phrase makes your eyes glaze over, fear not. I'll try and explain all the steps involved.

If anyone knows how to change parameter names dynamically from an .ini file or something please let me know as this would be considerably easier!

Getting set up

First, install Microsoft Visual Studio (I used Community Edition 2015)

Go to the FFGL project page, press "Download Snapshot" and extract the freeframe-svn-137-trunk folder somewhere on your computer. This has all the code we need to build a FFGL plugin.

Download this repository and pop the FFGLDummyParams-master folder into freeframe-svn-137-trunk/FFGL SDK/Projects/FFGLPlugins/

Editing the code

Open freeframe-svn-137-trunk/FFGL SDK/Projects/FFGLPlugins/FFGLDummyParams-master/FFGLPlugins.sln in Visual Studio and navigate to FFGLDummyParams/Source Files/FFGLDummyParams.cpp

To alter how parameter names appear in Resolume, change the these lines of code:

// Parameters
SetParamInfo(FFPARAM_DUMMY1,  "Param 1",  FF_TYPE_STANDARD, 0.5f);
SetParamInfo(FFPARAM_DUMMY2,  "Param 2",  FF_TYPE_STANDARD, 0.5f);
SetParamInfo(FFPARAM_DUMMY3,  "Param 3",  FF_TYPE_STANDARD, 0.5f); ...etc

like this

// Parameters
SetParamInfo(FFPARAM_DUMMY1,  "New Param Name 1",  FF_TYPE_STANDARD, 0.5f);
SetParamInfo(FFPARAM_DUMMY2,  "New Param Name 2",  FF_TYPE_STANDARD, 0.5f);
SetParamInfo(FFPARAM_DUMMY3,  "New Param Name 3",  FF_TYPE_STANDARD, 0.5f); ...etc

To change parameter default values in Resolume change the 0.5f on these lines to anything between 0.0f and 1.0f

m_dummyOne   = 0.5f;
m_dummyTwo   = 0.5f;
m_dummyThree = 0.5f;

Building the .dll

When you are happy with your changes, go to Build or press Ctrh+Shift+B in Visual Studio to build the project. This should hopefully spit out a few files including your shiny new .dll into either FFGLDummyParams-master/Debug or FFGLDummyParams-master/Release

Copy the new FFGLDummyParams.dll file into your (Resolume dir)/plugins/vfx folder, overwriting any old ones that might still be hanging about (trying to figure an easy way to have multiple instances with different names, if anyone has any ideas please get in touch)

Enjoy!
