Mute Indicator - words?

**treetop777** · 04-28-2008, 07:21 PM

A couple skins i use regular only have the off image so the mute indicator is useless. I was wondering how to display something (preferably the word mute) when the button is pressed.

Countless times i scramble trying to figure-out why suddenly i have no sound, when after a half hour it dawns on me. The other day i was just about to spend a whole day digging-out wires from under the carpet..

Byvar;mute;label1<<label2

Can't say i understand the command but thanks.

From reading skincommands, i THINK this is what i got to do:

"SETVAR;MUTE;1"
"Byvar;mute;label1<<label2"
Do these go in ExecTBL or in the .skin?

Then create 2 labels with the words i want (one on top of the other?) in the screen.

Let's see if it work.

Or even better:

LXX,...,"BYIND;MUTE;=Mute Off<<=Mute On",

I wonder what skin that is from?

(I'm working on some functionality things for the 1.04 release, and this will make it into that release but with a more obvious indicator rather than text, oh and a volume slider/percentage indicator too.)
