naming and cleaning details

is there anybody ever who needed Switch Out. and what is it expected to do?
What is CountIndices for ?
Obsolete nodes: HSLtoHSV and back -> thats what color pins are fore
Obsolete nodes: GEL for non debug builds
Naming: Blend (EX9.Renderstate) vs. Blend (Color)
Naming: Map (Interval) -> MapInterval (Value)
Naming: all polymorphic spreads nodes in Category Value
Naming of Split (Quaternion) -> Quaternion (Split, Quaternion)
Naming of Newsfeed -> RSSParser
Naming of TogEdge -> Edge
obsolete? uniformscale
obsolete? Network Status
does wordcount actually work?
Obsolete nodes: Diff (String) -> could be a module
either Repeat (String) or * (String)
more orthogonal commands - see Orthogonality
set the subtype of the comparison node outs do bool to make nicer downstream IOboxes

little features

Count should have input pin count (returning spreadmax)
Inverse permutation
efficient Cross Transform
efficient Cross 3d
Byte node rework
Keymatch Togedge mode
Reverse should have binsize pin
Stallone autospreadcount (get rid of vector/quaternion split & joins)
Shift with integer mode
gregorian should have kw and wochentag output
remove Filestream Duration Framedelay nerdness (if 0=duration semantics cause problems, at least set internal isFramedelay property)
NetSend and NetReceive without the need to understand anything about TCP, UDP, Tokenizing or whatever.

Make trigger output optional, but allow multiple triggers State OnEvent NewState Intro OnStart Run StartMotor StartMovie StartLights
Have delay time exposed as optional pin (everything in brackets) State (Delay) NewState
Make timed state outputs run from 0 to 1 depending on the time
Allow wildcards in naming fromstates and events to generate multiple rules at the same time
onReset default

Start* onStop StartOne

 Run* On*Error Error

State wildcards will create new outputs with the results **or´ed Event wildcards will create no outputs

Allow logical not for events and fromstates

what to do for cocoon

kurzfristig

Dateisynchronisation vereinfachen. mirror-programm benutzen. klare master zuweisen, sachen automatisch an die richtigen stellen spielen. backups automatisch anlegen.
System entwickeln, wie man einfach zwischen verschiedenen Setups umschalten kann, um z.b. für eine sonderveranstaltung eigene patches benutzen zu können.
Ggf. umgang mit mehreren Shows in der GrandMA erlernen
Hoch- und Runterfahren automatisieren, wie bei Hydrosphere
Neuer Terrazzoparameter, der AVI-files abspielt. ggf. auch Flash-Files
Schalter zum Umschalten zwischen Voll- und Halb-PAL am Rendercontroller

mittelfristig

Sequencer auf neue Version updaten, prüfen, mit welchen neuen Knoten die Performance signifikant erhöhrt werden kann. Wünschbares Interface entwerfen. Aufwand für Erweiterung um Presets/Timelines etc. abschätzen. GrandMA herausoperieren.
Nachladen von Patches debuggen
Strategie zum nachladen von Patches in der Boygroup entwickeln
Layers und Workflows entwickeln, die Externen Grafikern kreative Gestaltung ermöglichen. z.b. Fotos, AVI, Flash-AVI-konversion, Panoramafilme etc.

langfristig

Graph schneller machen. unbenützte patches drinlassen
Clublicht über VVVV steuern, GrandMA eliminieren.
