mixer plugins in R2.3 final

i spent some time on playing with R2.3 final and i noticed two important differences between final version and R2.3 RC2:

- first one is good thing: finally, extreme slider values are passed to plugin rather than switching to raw input A or B

- but second one... order of passing inputs A/B to freeframe mixers was changed without any notice, so now my smooth luma keys (and few other mixers) are unuseable in R2.3. only Intrinsic mixers (Isc*) included in R2.3 package works as expected (for those curious - try those plugs in R2.2 to see what i talk about). ofcourse workaround is pretty simple, but it can be only achieved through recompiling plugs with new default variable for "swap sources" param or changing default value in resolume/settings/fx.xml. none of those methods satisfy me ;)

i saw some discussion regarding freeframe 2-input mixers on freeframe-develop list, so i assume that your decisions are connected to latest posts on this list...

what you can suggest to fix this issue? to be honest: i dont like idea of preparing 2 versions of vvSmoothLK - for R2.3 and for older R versions..

resolumes implementation of freeframe mixer plugins was actually incorrect and not according to the FF specs. So we had to changed it to be correct. so i guess recompiling your plugins is nesesairy, but this is a good thing because they will then also work correctly in other hosts.

sory for the inconvenience and short notice.

dear vvrap

i tryed your version for resolume 2.3. first i get 3 error messages:cv096.dll and msvcp.dll not found.
i have also the mixer problem. your luma, swirl and the fast zoom dont appear at all.

also bad thing pete s lumakey is also gone. on the first time it appeared once, but worked in the wrong direction, the next time it was gone.

the smooth lumakey is really one of the most important mixers. if visualvinyl can fix this , i would be happy. becaus pete (some of the best plugins and the first) dont makes a beep anymore.

i will try to fix install package asap - i made this in a little hurry (because of upcoming festival this weekend), so i probably missed something. also you can try to delete settings/fx.xml file - it could help for petes lumakey
