:eek: i need a hand with some animation scripting

http://www.carbon20.com/naoneo/raydream-chroma2.gif

need a way of animating the control buttons door, on mouseover :)
tnx in advance

[pixelpusher]

This is a great looking skin. Have you gotten it working yet?

I was reading your thread over in "Skin Love"
I hope you get some help on the animation.

Also, I like the look of the 2x skin. Both look like they are
going to turn out tight. :)

Check out RhinoTrip's Stone Cruiser (think that's the name) skin. He has a drawer that opens onClick, you could easily modify his skin to onMouseOver. Best of luck. Looking Good.

looks really good so far, altho it's a bit small, I can't see the symbols on any of the buttons. is it a photo or have you made it? looks cool, keep it up!

[lunarboy1]

I hope that you just took a pic of it and shrunk the pic cuz the skin would be great if it was a bit bigger.

[lunarboy1]

are you going to have the track numbers on your skin?? I think that would look good cuz most stereo systems have the track numbers nice and big when you're playing a CD. If you are going to have the track numbers, how are you going to do it? This pertains to a question that I asked in my thread which you can go to below.

[Neko]

kinwashi, the volume dial is from a pic i took with my webcam, the rest is drawn, the reason there isnt any symbols on the buttons is because (somehow), im going to have an image in the digital display, triggered on mouseover of the actual button, so when you hover over play, it has it in the display, etc etc, as for the tracknumber lunar, if i can find a way to stick that in too, i will, think a 4 digit panel will be enough?, surely nobody has more than 9999 mp3, heh

[RhinoTrip]

So actually this is quite easy to do. The best thing is to make your "button cover" an n-frame animation strip .png the way you want it. Set its ghost to 0 and sysregion to 1 in the xml. THen, in the script, load up the coverlayer animation, create a global open_close state variiable set to 0, and define onClick():

CoverLayer.onClick() {

if (open_close) {
setXmlParam("ghost", "0");
CoverLayer.setStartFrame(CoverLayer.getLength());
CoverLayer.setEndFrame(0);
CoverLayer.Play();
open_close = 0;
}
else {
setXmlParam("ghost", "1");
CoverLayer.setStartFrame(0);
CoverLayer.setEndFrame(CoverLayer.getLength());
CoverLayer.Play();
open_close = 1;
}

}

you need the setXmlParam()'s to make sure that the animation layer doesn't interfere with the button functions. I think that should work, sue me if I'm wrong ;) -RT

[lunarboy1]

hey RT... would you know how to do the track numbers?

[RhinoTrip]

Whoops, just missed the onMouseOver part of that. Ehm, change that pnClick() to onEnterArea() and duplicate the code in it for onLeaveArea() and change things appropriately:

CoverLayer.onEnterArea() {
if (!open_close) {
setXmlParam("ghost", "1");
CoverLayer.setStartFrame(0);
CoverLayer.setEndFrame(CoverLayer.getLength());
CoverLayer.Play();
open_close = 1;
}
}

CoverLayer.onLeaveArea() {
if (open_close) {
setXmlParam("ghost", "0");
CoverLayer.setStartFrame(CoverLayer.getLength());
CoverLayer.setEndFrame(0);
CoverLayer.Play();
open_close = 0;
}

}

Sorry. - RT

[Doggy Dog]

As I said in the Skin Lovin', great skin :D.

[RhinoTrip]

Track numbers m? You'd need the playlist number. Not sure how to get that though, you'd have to sendCommand() or something but that isn't documented yet. - RT

[s0be]

could do mock playlist numbers and have it count the number of tracks it's played.

okay, heres a little bit more, mostly all of the eq is there now too, thnx rt, ill impliment that shortly when ive finnished tweaking the png to look smooth, just wondering how the hell im going to make a playlist now, i was thinking, a stack of minidisks, the spine of which, being where the name of the track is on, thus giving the effect of a pile of minidisks, labeld with what songs you have, but, still messing with that idea, and the actual playlist is a pain to skin, anyway, back to work.

heh, better rethink that :D

[Jstalilwyrd]

CraigF: :eek:

raydream: That's an awesome EQ. I think I might need to invest in a bigger monitor when the skin comes out... hehe. Terrific job. Keep up the good work! :)

[Aspiration]

This skin is superfly...Hope you finish soon so I can pimp it on my desktop.

Also, it's good to see people helping people so freely. You've had lots of helpful replies in this thread, raydream, and rhino trip has been impressively knowledgeable. Makes me wish I knew what the hell ya'll were talking about! :)

Keep up the good work, and make the finished product easy enough for newbies to find. ;)

[Neko]

okay, i let kim loose on the imagination front, put a heap of ideas into the works, so ive now modified further, the design

http://www.carbon20.com/naoneo/rdchroma2.gif

for the record, minimise mode is going to be a remote control :)

[CraigF]

heh, kinda like the old creative software that used to come with sb16's

[zorpidus]

Yeah craig, but this is way cooler. Tremendous job raydream :D

Tell me when it's finished, so I can re-install wa 3 alpha :D

[Plague]

Whoa!!!

This is one of the most awsome skins I´ve ever seen!
/me like it alot!

Keep it up!

quick question, is there any way to detect the time using a script?, for use with 2 things
1, maybe a lil clock , made from small png's of numbers,which, when pressed covers the tracktime readout, until released
2, at a certain time of the day, changes the skin, i.e. at night, a bluelight around most buttons.

[Naamloos]

Cool id!

At this point, ;you can't read the system time from the script. But maybe at some point there will be a component that can pass the timer to the script - RT

[Gonzotek]

Couldn't the time be retrieved with a URL from a timeserver or php script?....Well...I guess a million Winamps all retrieving the time might not be a good thing...maybe just once when the script needs it and then Winamp could keep track afterwards...Just some thoughts...

I guess we'll really just have to wait and see. I'm sure it would be trivial once the SDK comes out if they don't put it in the base.

I don't know how easily you can parse the HTML content of the minibrowser, if you can pull the content into variables in the script or what. The one thing you certainly CAN do is have a timer running to show how long you've had winamp open ;) Or at least winamp with your skin. You can always ask the user to enter the time when you first load the skin and then start the tracking timer adding the time the skin has been open to the value the user inputs for current time. - RT

[Neko]

thanx RT, i'll keep that in mind, not too sure when i'll have a decently working .wal for you guys to play with, still doing most of the animations and fixing bugs, i'd imagine around monday, but i'm leaving england for toronto on sunday, so i may be a little delayed :)

tnx for the support ppl

i thought the edit's are still broken. i was working on the sm script gonna add some cool features, and any edit would crash the player. this is a known bug. its suppose to be fixed in the next version.

from the sound of betanews from a while ago, it sounded as if they would be making a way to download files and maybe parse them. i was thinking of using that to cache files for the sm plugin.

Yeah, but you don't have to use edits to enter data, especially numeric. just provide a graphical keypad :) - RT

[RhinoTrip]

BTW, thanks to Kinwashi for the new sig image. The old one was getting boring - RT

thats real practical :)

i'm really hoping that with just scripts i'll be able to cache files. it'd really lighten up server load.

anywho. the skin looks awesome.

think speech recognition software would be possible in a script?

http://www.carbon20.com/naoneo/rdchroma3.gif

nearly finnished with the design, just need to do the techy bits, but im taking a break for a few days until i get to canada, thanks for the support guys, i apreciate it, especially RT for the code.

[Rocker]

:eek: WOWEE :eek:

that loooks soo damn cool

but the writing and the symbols on the buttons are unclear

very nice idea

[danbee]

that looks awesome!! i love it!

just one thing though: the bar along the bottom of the eq (with the logo and buttons on it) looks slightly blue to me, makes it look a little out of place.

other that that, this skin kicks arse!

[RhinoTrip]

I wish there was a way to make more of the song title visible. But then again I've been guilty of that sin before myself ;) Nice job, man. I think i may finally release something new this weekend if I'm lucky - RT

[Ice]

doesn't the song title scroll?

[jakov.sosic]

GOD DAMN IT!!!
And I thought that my skin was cool audio system.
Oh dude, i'll have to work 10 times harder :-)

GREAT JOB.

SUPERB S(K)IN!!!!

song title will scroll when ive finnished the thing, at the moment, the pizels are a shade offset when it scrolls, so its a pain in the ass to get right, as for the blueness thing.. waa?, how can only one part be blue if the whole thing was made from just one texture?

[bluekeydesign]

Raydream i want help making a new skin.
Can you email me at:webmaster@bluekeydesign.com or go onto your aim account some time?

[shinji257]

Supurb looking skin. So any chance of seeing it in action?

[Bop]

:eek: :eek: :eek:

another sleek & sexy skin

wa3 is on its way . . .

[Lucas]

The vis looks awesome to me.

-L

[kingo'mountain]

oh raydream, where are you?

[YtseJam]

And I don't see any image of a skin... *cough*

[jakov.sosic]

yeah, where are you!!

I've been waiting for this skin almost half a year!!!!!!!!!!:cry:

[YtseJam]

Last I heard, he was on his way to England... He got ther a few days ago... I'm sure we'll see him soon enough.

[Aspiration]

Sooo sad. Really wanted phat skin. :cry:

[Plague]

yeah, it was great looking!
But I did a search for him on the forums and I found out that he has some very new replies on the winamp2 forum, just a couple of days old actually.

So whatever happened with Chroma then?
Why not even any pictures?

-Plague

[Rocker]

I asked RD about the graphics yesterday....

he lost it all when his hard disk crashed...:(


maybe we'll see another skin soonish from him...or a remake of the same

[Plague]

Aouch, that even hurt me! :cry:
Can't imagine how he must feel about that.

Well, we'll just have to hope that he will remake it sometime.

But atleast we know now.

-Plague

[jakov.sosic]

So this means all the graphics are lost? Even previews? they (previews) could save things a bit



:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[jakov.sosic]

But WE <B>DON'T WANT</B> ANYTHING DIFFERENT!

he got his HDD x-rayed. It is all corrupted. He is still working though, but on a Flash game (and it looks quite good).

Crashed hard drive...

That super-sucks; my condolences.:(
