How to gammagroup TTF and bitmap fonts

rpeterclark · 8th February 2003, 23:11

Hello skinners, it seems I have come across a way to color theme fonts, both bitmap and TTF. It's not easy though, and Winamp might have this fixed in the next public build, so it's up to you to decide if you want to go through the hassle.

The key element here is the "General" gammagroup. ThePlague pointed out this group to me. This gammagroup will color EVERYTHING, including all fonts, with the values you specify.

To start, create the gammagroup "General" with the value you want for the fonts:

code:


<gammagroup id="General" value="2304, -2176, 3584" gray="0" boost="0" />

Then to get everything else back to it's normal color, you have to cancel out the values in "General" with opposite values:

code:


gammagroup id="player.metal" value="-2304, 2176, -3584" gray="0" boost="0"/>

You have to do this for every gammagroup, including system ones (search for "gammagroup" in *.xml files in the WACS folder to find all of the system gammagroups). You then use the cancelled values as your starting point to get the color you actually want.

Following the example above, let's say you actually wanted the gammagroup "player.metal" to have a value of "1000, -500, 2000", it would come out like this:

code:


gammagroup id="player.metal" value="-1304, 1676, -1584" gray="0" boost="0"/>

The only side effect I've found so far is that this method colors EVERY font throughout the skin. You cannot specify a specific font color for a specific font.

Hope this helps some of you out!

heres a pretty good list of the system's gammagroups i just threw together, so i might have missed some:

Titlebar Font
Button Fonts
Display Fonts
Backgrounds
Display Backgrounds
Tree Color
Scrollbar Backgrounds
Scrollbar Buttons
Buttons
Checkboxes and Radio Buttons
Menus
Titlebars

eh?one · 9th February 2003, 00:13

wow! i never even knew such a bug existed

i'll keep this tip in mind

mc^^^^ · 9th February 2003, 06:06

maybe this should have been posted in the tips & tricks thread?

rpeterclark · 9th February 2003, 13:30

That would have been the smart thing to do, huh?

I'll go put it there...

rpeterclark · 9th February 2003, 14:39

I found 1 additional side effect. The method above will of course color theme elements defined without a gammagroup. If you have maps you use for regioning and they don't have a gammagroup defined, it WILL color it and mess up your MAKI.

It's easy to fix though, just put your map type images in a gammagroup and cancel out the "General" values to get them back to the original colors.

Plague · 9th February 2003, 16:27

hehe, cool side effect...

this method is a pain in the ass but atleast it's working and the already created themes (using this method) will still work when Nullsoft finally fixes this most annoying bug.
So no old themes will have to be re-created but new themes can then easilly be created the "normal" way..

It's sorta a win-win situation

rpeterclark · 9th February 2003, 21:09

For those interested in the technique I described above to color themes fonts, I've whipped together a tool to help automate the necessary calculations. You can use it here:

http://www.rpeterclark.com/Projects/...eGenerator.asp

Plague · 9th February 2003, 21:31

cool!
That's a great tool you have there!
Now it shouldn't be any problem to make those themes.

-Plague

eh?one · 9th February 2003, 21:43

wow, that is uber useful. you should add that to your projects section when its finished

Plague · 9th February 2003, 21:49

it's in his Tools section incase you missed it..

-Plague

eh?one · 9th February 2003, 22:16

oh, sorry, my bad

frisbeemonkey · 10th February 2003, 21:08

Hey cool! This is a crazy workaround, but if it works, I can't knock it. Good find indeed. And thanks for the list iPlay and for the generator rpc.
And careful there eh?one, one more mistake like that and we have to add you to our "tools" section...

~FrisbeeMonkey

eh?one · 10th February 2003, 22:50

lmao

Plague · 30th March 2003, 00:14

can't someone make this a sticky..?
Until Nullsoft fix this very very very annoying bug, this is uber useful.

-Plague

iPlayTheSpoons · 30th March 2003, 00:29

he put it in the tips and tricks thread...kinda redundant to stickify this, isnt it?

Plague · 30th March 2003, 00:49

oh.. hmm, guess you're right...
my mistake..

Thanks! Websites like that generator is more along the lines of my day job. Ahh, the joy of programming.

Yeah, I put this in the T&T thrtead, so hopefully people will be able to find it.

RLF · 30th March 2003, 05:00

man I wish I could code. Pfft.. like that's ever gonna happen right?

razmansix · 30th March 2003, 17:04

Ditto here RLF

- the only difference is that YOU should have all the time you need learning that - you're 13 and got all the time in the world

Super cool as always Pete!

hammerhead · 30th March 2003, 18:26

Thats very true.

You should start learning. When I came to winamp 3, I only had a basic knowledge of HTML and the logic behind a few other languages. Since I've been here (a bit after WA3 went to public builds), I've learnt enough about XML and MAKI to be fairly confident with it.

If your serious about learning coding, I would suggest going down to your library and getting out some books on the basics of HTML and a few things like javascript. A basic understanding of these should give you more than you need to start looking at XML and MAKI.

A good place to start on XML, I fond anyway, is here, it's in the nsdn devlopers section.

Frisbeemonkey's tutorials should be useful, although I've only skim read them.

If you become serious about HTML, javascript and java, there may be a course you you can do though your school.

At your age I thought I'd never be able to code ether.

I'm not that good at coding myself, but thats cos I'm lazy.

Anyway, enough de-railing of this thread.

When I wanted to skin for wa3 I had no knowledge of scripting whatsoever. It took me about 3 months to get XML down, and another 3 to get most of maki learnt (which is now).

RLF · 30th March 2003, 19:16

Oh I understand the basics of HTML fully (ie- tables, images, text, and misc. tags, etc.) through a nice little site www.lissaexplains.com . This site is a great reference to learning HTML, java, and building a web site.

XML seems easy enough to learn, I may try to learn hwo to make a skin from scratch some day

Plague · 30th March 2003, 20:26

XML is easy as hell to learn, especially if you know HTML already..
They are very similar..

If you know C/C++/VB/Delphi/Java/etc... Maki should be no match either..

-Plague

hammerhead · 30th March 2003, 20:28

I am thinking of learning C++.. and I have a fairly solid understanding of MAKI. Do you think it would be hard?

Plague · 30th March 2003, 20:30

hard, maybe, it depends..
A lot of work, yep.. C++ is HUGE, it's not something you learn in one day..
But on the other hand, when you know a little C++, it get's easier and easier to learn more...

-Plague

hammerhead · 30th March 2003, 20:40

So what programming languages do you recommend me tackle before C++ (note: I can't have anything that is interactive online, like PHP- in PHP's case MySql would be out of the question).

Plague · 30th March 2003, 21:03

no, there's no language I recommend before C++..
If you want to learn C++, just go right on it..
Read a book about it, that's probably the easiest way..

I learned it through Trial & Error though, but that takes alot longer time, I'm just too lazy to read a book..

I'm gonna have to sooner or later though, in order to learn the more advanced stuff

I love the irony there. I did it the long way cuz I was too lazy to go the shorter route

I wish my school taught C/C++ instead of Turing/Java.....Java sucks.

Plague · 31st March 2003, 05:37

heh yea, don't you think I know about that irony? And I still can't pick up the book and read..

My previous school taught Delphi instead of C/C++, cos they believed, believe it or not, that C/C++ is a dying language and that Delphi will be the king of the hill soon!
Stupid morons

My current school knows better though

-Plague

hammerhead · 31st March 2003, 15:09

Ok, I'll try and start learning C++

Then I can write stuff like wacs, right?

Plague · 31st March 2003, 16:02

there's a learning process in everything.. if you know c++ it helps, but you still gotta learn the wasabi sdk...

-Plague

dodger758 · 4th March 2004, 21:30

yea, didn't want to start a new thread so i hope it's aright here...

with winamp5 it's obvious that you can now use color themes for fonts...would anyone like to explain how?

Plague · 4th March 2004, 23:26

sure.

althought this works fine in winamp3 aswell, it's just not been known..

for bitmap fonts:

PHP Code:


			
  <bitmap id="bitmapfont.player.BIGNUM" file="player/numfont.png" gammagroup="Timer Font"/>

  <bitmapfont id="player.BIGNUM" file="bitmapfont.player.BIGNUM" charwidth="11" charheight="13"/>

for truetype fonts:

PHP Code:


			
  <color id="font.color.songticker" value="255,255,255" gammagroup="Songticker Font"/>



  <text

    id="songticker"

    ticker="1"

    display="songname" default=""

    showlen="1"

    x="34" y="110"

    w="180" h="14"

    fontsize="12"

    color="font.color.songticker"

    font="Arial"

  />

simple!

-Plague

dodger758 · 4th March 2004, 23:37

cool, thanks. just checkin ahead right now, probably won't get to coding the skin i'm workin on right now for a few more weeks, so I'll mess with it then and tell ya how it goes. thanks again.

dodger758 · 11th March 2004, 00:28

pl Plague, so would this work...

<bitmap id="bitmapfont.player.charfont" file="player/charfont.png" gammagroup="Fonts"/>
<bitmapfont id="player.charfont" file="bitmapfont.player.charfont" charwidth="9" charheight="8" hspacing="0" vspacing="1"/>

Plague · 11th March 2004, 02:22

yes

Doesn't seem to work for me...

Here's my elements:

PHP Code:


			
<bitmapfont id="bitmapfont.player.nsx-999" file="player/NSX-999BitmapFont.png" gammagroup="DisplayItem"/>

<bitmapfont id="player.nsx-999" file="bitmapfont.player.nsx-999" charwidth="11" charheight="13"/>

and in the group:

PHP Code:


			
<text

    id="SongTicker" ticker="1"

    display="songname" showlen="1"

    w="190" h="20"

    x="177" y="178"

    font="player.nsx-999"

/>

The songticker just disappears completely

My previous school taught Delphi instead of C/C++, cos they believed, believe it or not, that C/C++ is a dying language and that Delphi will be the king of the hill soon! Stupid morons My current school knows better though -Plague Winique work-in-progress (download) \| Stargate:Winamp - SG1 Edition \| D-Reliction \| wasabi.player skin Opal Redemption \| X-Slant \| wa2skin.wac \| Wasabi Wiki \| WASD \| /j #wasabi \| Breed 011101110110000101110011011000010110001001101001
