Radio Preset Help

blk02si · 02-02-2008, 07:49 PM

I am trying to finish up my carwings HD radio menu and I've come to a halt while trying to figure out a few things.

1st I am trying to do what is shown in the screencap from rrskineditor. Set up a label to show what preset 1,2,3 etc is.

I have the "FMPRESET;PRESETx" code attached to the preset buttons, but I want the station frequency (i.e. 96.3) to show up (via label?) to the right of the button so you know what is set.

Sal's skin does this very elegantly, and I am trying to use his code to figure it out by he uses many variables and I get lost in them.

I'm also trying to figure out how to have a FM-1, FM-2, AM-1, etc. "bank" for the preset buttons. I am pretty sure this needs to be done with variables.

Right now I am more concerned with getting the frequency to show up after setting it. I looked through RRskincommands but it seems it will only put them in a list. Anyone have a good way to do this?

Look at my preset skin here. You get the idea.

Thanks MGD, this is exactly the example I was looking for.

Let HD coding resume!

Thanks MGD, preset code is finished.

Now I'm having another bizarre issue my radio_player.skin will not turn my tuner on.

Very strange, every other skin I have turns on the HD tuner fine, presets work great.

For some reason carwings will not turn the tuner on. The only way to use the HD menu on the carwings skin is to go to a different skin launch an HD menu, then swap skins to carwings. Everything works perfect then. For some reason though the carwings skin will not activate the tuner. I've worked on the code for a few hours and am stumped. Can a couple of you guys proof read this code and see if you can see any reason it would not turn on the tuner. I think I'm just missing something. . .

Anyway here is my RADIO_PLAYER.SKIN, looks correct or not?

Code:

RoadRunner Skin

What other skins have you tried using?

The only thing I can think of is the first two lines:

RoadRunner Skin
RRScreen radio_player

Have you tried changing it back to the old:

MEDIACAR Skin
MEDIACAR "radioplayer" Skin

and see what happens?

idk

blk02si · 02-04-2008, 07:43 PM

Treid your suggestion, same deal.

So far I can use shock skin, MMIv2, New Age, DFX2, and MGD's test skin.

I must have a line of code or a file that RR doesn't like somewhere..

blk02si · 02-04-2008, 08:05 PM

Wow finally figured it out!

The radio_player.skin MUST have a "S" code in it.

Even though im not using a list it RR still wanted to see that S in the code, now it works great. Success!
