Topic: visual = GET_BEAT ?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

wanna create a simple visual (in a plugin gui)

<visual x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100">
<off shape="circle" color="black" color2="white" gradient="circular"/>
</visual>

<visual x="+100" y="+120" type="color" source="get_level_right" width="100" height="100"/>

problem: tooltip shows "GET_BEAT" and effectively flashing following beat
TESTED with different sources, types, ...
everything is flashing and having the tooltip GET_BEAT

what this problem ?

tested the exact same codes in main gui and there is no issue (and no tooltip)

After much more test it appears "<visual source=" are now mapped to get_beat whatever the skin is

Did you set the version in the skin?

Edit: Or perhaps the main skin you have loaded is an old skin for v6/v7?

Thanks, Yes, it is indeed related to version number interpretation change

- no version gives "get_beat" as well a 1.x ... (maybe very old behavior)
- 8.0 8.3 or 8.4 was enough until recent 2020
- 800 840 or 2020 now needed to get "source=" to be used all the time

version were set to 8.0 and 8.3 and 8.4
modifiing version number from 8.4 to 840 restored behavior

didn't saw recent default skin switched to version "2020"

odd, "8" or "8.4" should still be sufficient
