Thread: RRSkinEditor BUGS / FIXES / COMMENTS / CURRENT PROGRESS OUTDATED

I haven't been to this site for a while, but I decided to work on a new skin and I find very impressive with the this skin editor. Thank you ProFit, you the best.
Blessings.

Sure no prob! Happy new year!!!!

Okay so i tried to make the moving of things around easier and nicer. Instead of left click to move things i was going to use right click. That way you could select things without accidentally moving them. On the version 0020 build i had it working but i somehow broke the resize with left click. So i need to go back and fix that. also undo redo is really bad. I may release build 0020 with undo redo not working all the way. I just need to make sure everything still works without crashing.. Anyways give me a week or so now that everything that was keeping me busy has kind of died down. And i will try to get build 0020 out.

Hi pRoFiT,

and happy new Year. Its good to see you back on the boards again. If you do get time to make any changes, can you see if you can provide support for the INC files ? It may be a lot of work, but this would help me tremendously, and others I am sure as well.

Anyways, whatever you get to release, will always be well received. I have been thinking about getting in to Linux myself. I have been looking at a Eurovox PVR which is based on Linux, and can unscramble the encrypted cable signals. Not sure how configurable they are though. Anyways welcome back mate.

cheers

Okay took me a couple seconds to find the latest rr and check the commands file. The INC should be easy in the first skin file. The actual file it links to may be strange. If you open a INC "myfile.skin" and it doesn't have imageas attached to it. Might be hard to layout items. I gues i should first find a file that is used this way to see what you would put in it......I guess none visual objects would be in this type of file? Otherwise you would have to somehow tell the skin editor what pictures is in the skin that this myfile.skin would be included in. If that makes sense? Shouldn't be to much work to implement.

Not sure how i want to do that. Maybe some help from you guys as to what goes into the "myfile.skin"

p.s. cable descrambler? Digital cable? As of now analog cable channels only have basic cable in my area. everything moved to digital. So now i have Coolsat 4000. Free To Air baby!

Okay, so i updated the main page in this thread with a new link. Plus the old 0.3.019 is still there in case.

Here is http://home.comcast.net/~cstrachn/RRSkinEditor020.rar version 0.3.020.

Some changes were made.

1. Fixed Object naming crash. Now b01 or BMusic or bafraid,x,y,w,h, etc works.

2. Removed drag from left click moved to right click. Still select with left click or right.

3. Added some buttons that lock objects in place. Default all objects get locked from being able to move with mouse. If you unlock object you can move it around resize etc.

4. Also added unlock all and lock all objects. I may add an option to Lock or dont lock objects on "open skin" in the settings screen. Incase someone doesn't like the auto lock.

5. Comments.....Well i tried to add them. There is the rare case where you have an object that doesn't meet the object list. and could cause problems. not sure what kind yet. Ive been working on it all night. So just add / in front of all comments and we should be fine. I know alot of people wanted this option.

6. Undo Redo only in Virtual Editor. when you leave VE all settings saved and undo redo starts over. You can always just not save the skin if you really mess up. And VE also has reopen from editor if undo redo doesn't work. It is still a little sketchy. but i thought i would release it this way for now.

7. Fixed Text boxes to resize with zoom feature. So text will grow or shrink while using zoom. I tested this out on zots. Let me know if you see problems on other skins.

Well i think i did something else cant remember right now. oh yah DISCARDABLE is spelt right now

AGAIN THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE, AND IS TO BE USED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT SOFTWARE CRASHES MAY HAPPEN. ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES

I think i may need a Disclaimer soon Its real late good nite, enjoy, i will check back tomorow.


EDIT: 8. oh not sure if 019 had it but ive added IMG displaying and /INC,MYFILE although you will have to manually remove the on off images line from the skin file that you are planning on using. the myfile.skin

Thanks, Good to be back. Its been a busy year for me. Need to get my carputer reinstalled! i have a nice touch screen built into dash with no pc to display on it

My last release was like in april-may last year......now I need to go through guinos commands and update them in the editor. Im sure he has been busy with updates and added features

pRoFiT, Wow! It's REALLY good to see you back in the swing of things. Back when you really active on the board, I was pretty much still a lurker.

That has changed now, and I could not begin to imagine creating a skin the old fashioned way in notepad! When you added the drag feature, you opened up a whole new world to many people (including me) that would not have even attempted to create skin before.

This community owes you a LOT of thanks for adding so many useful features to the editor!

Do you have a PayPal link somewhere?
