Description: the home, rendering interface, scene edition, project edition

Installation and use:


[indent=1]
To have a easy life, you can use the launcher (named qOs) on pastebin, the id is mFEteE00 (use a pastebin get mFEteE00 qos on your advanced computer to download it). If you name "startup", then it is possible to set a project that starts automatically with the computer. Now you can also download it from the app store of DannySMc (the id is MC43Mjg2).

Important: if you don't know what it the use of a button in the program, do right click on it will indicate its use (I love this feature).

Very important 2: Don't forget to frequently save your project, to not lose everything, it stay bugs (No !) !

Very important 3: I am French ( :o/>), so I don't speak well English (However, I think you noticed :D/>)

For manual installation or more information, or see the source codes, I make a GitHub directory (https://github.com/DedaleMc/qMedia).[/indent]
Get started:
Spoiler
  1. Install the program
  2. create / import a QMedia project (use the tab key in the creation interface)
  3. choose a screen for your tests (in the scenes interface)
  4. add resources (in the resources interface)
  5. add scenes (in the scenes interface) and change them
  6. make a rendering

Files (if manual install):
Spoiler
  1. qMedia.lua the main file, the core of the program
  2. effets.lua the effets file, contains all available objects in the scene
  3. apis: champs.lua (useful to use text champs for the graphic interface) and ltpg (used for backups). Both are of me ;)/>

Interfaces:
Spoiler
  1. home : to see your projects, create new and import them
  2. rendering : to rendering your projects, display on all your monitors
  3. project edition : see yours scenes in the opened project, set the test monitor, access to the resources interface, access to the scene edition interface and more
  4. scene edition : to edit the selected scene (objects, animations…)

Tutorial:
I make a youtube video of this project: https://www.youtube....h?v=XTbm9ojaa40 → the tutorial (in French :blink:/>)
I count on you to do a tutorial worthy of the name in English not to be me that destroy your innocent eyes, you can defer me all the bugs (on github or on my youtube channel).

I am happy to finally bring the English program, I hope he will be able to serve you !!! :rolleyes:/>

Thank you very much, it took over three months to code and I'm happy with the result :rolleyes:/>
Add qMedia to your add store? Why not but are in certain that this is not a Satanist and dangerous sect :ph34r:/> ? I mistrust bearded programmers :D/>
In truth, no problem, I have not found how to add an application to your site (but I have not really searched). <_</>
EDIT: It's done !

I just saw on pastebin that there have been more than 180 downloads but I do not have your returns; (

I just think that you have to work hard and not necessarily thinking about shaving like all good developers :D/>
In true, I did also an app store but in a old program, and not enough successful…
I update the launcher: now we can choose the version (by editing the second line).
