Thread: Road Runner Gestures????

have u looked int he gestures.ini in the main directory of RR

these are the defult ones in that file.

/, Example of Global Command Gestures
"NEXT",E
"PREV",W
"PLAY",S
"GOTOLAST",SE
"GOTOFIRST",NE

E meaning east the direction of the stroke

Ok, so i understand that you have the different strikes you can do (e,s,ne, ect) but are there any letter corespondents?? This was the one thing that i did like that streetdeck had, the ability to gesture a letter on the screen and have it jump you to a certain part of the program (draw an M, and it would bring you to your music) . Things of that nature... I would assume something like this would be directed to guino??

Thanks for the reply!

Did you read the Gestures.ini file?

/, You can also define multiple gesture sequences for the same commands, as it is the case for M and V bellow.

"GEST-A",NE SE
"GEST-A",N S
"GEST-B",SE W SE W
"GEST-C",W SW SE E
"GEST-D",E SE SW W
"GEST-E",SW E SW E
"GEST-F",N E
"GEST-G",SW SE NE W
"GEST-H",S NE SE
"GEST-I",N
"GEST-J",S W
"GEST-K",SW W E SE
"GEST-L",S E
"GEST-M",N SE NE S
"GEST-M",NE SE NE SE
"GEST-N",N SE N
"GEST-N",NE SE NE
"GEST-O",SW SE NE NW
"GESTURE-P",N E SW W
"GESTURE-P",N E S W
"GEST-Q",N W S E
"GEST-Q",N W SW E
"GEST-Q",N W SW SE E
"GEST-R",W S
"GEST-S",SW E SW
"GEST-S",W S E S W
"GEST-S",SW SE E SE SW
"GEST-S",W SW S E SE S SW W
"GEST-T",E S
"GEST-U",SE NE
"GEST-U",S E N
"GEST-V",SE NE E
"GEST-V",S E N E
"GEST-V",S N E
"GEST-V",SW NW
"GEST-W",SE NE SE NE
"GEST-W",S NE SE N
"GEST-X",SE N SW
"GEST-Y",SE S N NE
"GEST-Z",E SW E

If you want to use the M for music then write this command in that file

"AUDIO",N SE NE S or this for Radio
"RADIO",W S

awesome!

I see the structure.... but how do you know what to put so it will bring you to the right spot... such as in your example

"AUDIO",N SE NE S

The word AUDIO, roadrunner understands where to bring you.

But there are many other spots that could be configured, Nav, options, videos, ect....

Where do i go to find the list of "control" words that i can add gestures to?

thanks!

skin commands.txt has all the standard defined commands for rr.

You can also create ANY command you want using the exectbl.ini.

In my exectbl.ini I have:

Code:

"LoadAllWeather","RUNQ;C:$skinpath$Weather\WeatherDownloader.exe"

So simply putting "LoadAllWeather" as a button code, it executes the above line, that runs a script to download weather maps.

ive been wonding for a while, does anyone have a list that shows you visually what the shape you draw is recognized as in RR.

Something like this


or this



In the example in the above post or the letter M
N SE NE S

doesn'tlook like a M to me, but more like a slightly slanted backwards N

actually, i have to admit ive only used gestures for simple gestures like left right up and down etc.

I see now the file Gestures.exe actually lets you draw whatever you want and shows you the command and headings for the gesture. So disregard the above post.

the slanted "N" for M is really because of the nature of (my) drawing for the letter M, I start at the bottom, go straight up, pull down/right, go up/right then straight down.. you should most definitely customize the commands to whatever you feel more comfortable with.. those are only examples.
