Tripex is an freeware 3D visualisation Plug-In for WinAmp 2 and 3 which fades between many effects, animated in real time in response to the music.
Changes :
Switched to DirectX 8.1 and added multi-monitor support. The simpler API should mean that the few hardware-specific bugs which I know about in the old DirectX 7 engine should be easier to find (or even better - just disappear in the conversion). All windowed settings and texture filtering settings are now picked automatically, but the fullscreen settings are still in the configuration panel. The porting has the following drawbacks; Windows 95 is no longer supported (DirectX 8.1 is only available on Windows 98 or newer)
Software rending is no longer supported, though it was way too slow anyway
Fixed: DirectX settings were being saved, but were reverting to defaults the next time the configuration box was opened
Fixed: Cards with mipmap bilinear but not mipmap trilinear support were showing trilinear option but no bilinear
Fixed: Crash when Tripex didn't shutdown correctly and prompted whether to continue starting next time
Fixed: LightSphere effect flashing up briefly before fading in for the first time .
