Thread: NiteRunner Skin

Thanks to some help from Mitch...

Now with HD Radio Support!

Sorry it's been SO long since I've updated this thread... I've had some other stuff going on, but here is the code to the radio skin I've created with the help of Mitch and others.

Here are the variables you will have to add to your skin.ini:

Code:

NOXM=TRUE
NOSR=TRUE
NOFM=TRUE

When all of the radios are turned off (above all set to true), the radio skin WILL NOT APPEAR, it's a safety feature to prevent the skin from possibly lagging or locking up when you do not have any radios attached to the system.

Here are all of the commands you will need to add into the exectbl.ini file:

Code:

"CHECKRADIO","BYVAR;NOFM;SOURCEFM2<<CHECKXM"
"CHECKXM","BYVAR;NOXM;SOURCEXM2<<CHECKSR"
"CHECKSR","BYVAR;NOSR;SOURCESIRIUS2<<MSGNORADIO"

"CHECKRADIO3","BYVAR;NOFM;SOURCEFM<<CHECKXM3"
"CHECKXM3","BYVAR;NOXM;SOURCEXM"

You will need to create some sort of settings screen to which you can select which radios you will be using. Here is the code for that:

Code:

B,119,223,253,37,"BYVAR;NOSR;SETVAR;NOSR;TRUE<<SETVAR;NOSR;FALSE||BYVAR;NOSR;SETVAR;NOSRSTATE;ON<<SETVAR;NOSRSTATE;OFF||SAVETOSKIN;NOSR;$NOSR$||SETIND;!CUSTOMnosr;$NOSRSTATE$",
I,78,223,37,37,"!CUSTOMnosr"
B,119,273,253,37,"BYVAR;NOXM;SETVAR;NOXM;TRUE<<SETVAR;NOXM;FALSE||BYVAR;NOXM;SETVAR;NOXMSTATE;ON<<SETVAR;NOXMSTATE;OFF||SAVETOSKIN;NOXM;$NOXM$||SETIND;!CUSTOMnoxm;$NOXMSTATE$",
I,78,273,37,37,"!CUSTOMnoxm"
B,119,323,253,37,"BYVAR;NOFM;SETVAR;NOFM;TRUE<<SETVAR;NOFM;FALSE||BYVAR;NOFM;SETVAR;NOFMSTATE;ON<<SETVAR;NOFMSTATE;OFF||SAVETOSKIN;NOFM;$NOFM$||SETIND;!CUSTOMnofm;$NOFMSTATE$",
I,78,323,37,37,"!CUSTOMnofm"

The above code is for a button and indicator in your settings screen. Clicking the button will change the indicator status as well as save the variable to the skin.ini file

Here is the code for the actual skin:

The system determines which presets to show based on the active source ID.

You'll also need to create a screen called noradio.skin, which is just a simple dialog menu with an OK button. This is the screen that appears when all radios are turned off in the settings screen.

I hope this is useful to everyone...

Updated today. New screenshots are the big ones (640x427). More to come tonight as i have to run off to work.

Release date?

Not for bit yet... I get occasional IM updates as to where or what he's worked on....

hopefully it actually shouldnt be too much longer...once i have it in my car and running and i'm sure all the bugs are worked out (like a bug i found in the port config screen), i'll make a full release. I wont be able to do a clear background because of the shadow's on the buttons and some screens, but i will also include the PNG (adobe fireworks) document with all of the layers in it so that you can put your own image in the background. I'll also release it with just a black background, or, if someone wants, I can put their background in and send them the skin w/ the correct images.

Minor setback with the coding... Turns out that Sonicxtacy's RRFusion plugin (not the official release, but the multi-brain version he never released) doesn't have everything i need in it to complete this skin...SO I'm going to have to do a little more work and use the COM interface and the Fusion Brain MDX software to get this working. I was kinda hoping to just be able to have FB commands that are native to RR and do what i want, but oh well...

Just for clarification, Shaun's RRFusion official release is great for single-brain systems, I just have far far more stuff to control and sensors to read than 1 brain could handle...

This is great! I have my wiring and dash skins (MDX) complete and going to start on phase 2 with RR and I find this. You already have most of what I was hoping to do. Keep it up.

would you mind terribly helping me with the MDX/COM stuff? I'm 100% new to working with it as I was previously planning to use the RRFusion plugin.
