Winamp skin

mike-db · 17th February 2005, 21:58

Yea i made a new skin and no im not going to submit it because it is generated i know alot of people dont like skin generators but im starting to under stand how to make a real skin so be pashunt this skin generator is pretty cool thou.

mike-db · 17th February 2005, 22:44

What do you guys think?

k_rock923 · 17th February 2005, 22:50

Well, it is generated. It is black with something that looks like word-art for letters. I suppose if you made this the real way, it could amount to something. but. . .

Please just make a skin yourself!

LuigiHann · 17th February 2005, 23:00

I was going to say the generator is a crutch, but it's more like a wheelchair. An electric wheelchair. With no controls for steering.

Sure, it's easier than walking, but you aren't really doing the work, and you aren't really controlling it. I imagine you made that title yourself, but you haven't really made any buttons, sliders, or backgrounds, so you haven't really "made a skin," per se. And if you do decide to make a skin, I suggest using using Skinner's Atlas rather than the generator.

mike-db · 17th February 2005, 23:04

Yea, sheesh guys i said im starting to under stand how. im only 13 ya know and dont treet me like crap because i am.

lol

mike-db · 17th February 2005, 23:07

Why does it say under neth my attachment that it has been downloaded 14 times? is that just another way to say it has been looked at 14 times?

k_rock923 · 17th February 2005, 23:09

yup, sure is. We're not treating you like crap. Trust me, it is much more rewarding to complete a skin that you make yourself. (though some may tell you that I'm not quite the authority on completing skins

)

mike-db · 17th February 2005, 23:13

alritey then.

LuigiHann · 17th February 2005, 23:18

We're not treating you like crap because you're 13. We're treating you like crap because you're a noob.

j/k
I'm sorry if you think we're being rude, we're just trying to help. We just want to see what you can make.
edit: Wow, I typed slow.

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 01:51

i wasnt saying you where rude i was asking you guys to treet me like an equill.
edit: i know i cant spell.

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 01:54

If any one has time it would be nice to have a titorial with pics shoing me what to do and is translated in young and foolish childeren language for me.

LuigiHann · 18th February 2005, 02:09

You mean like this one? http://www.winamp.com/nsdn/winamp/skinning/classic/

It might not be a simple as you'd like, but there are pictures... I think someday I might make my own super-simple tutorial, when I have time.

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 02:12

oh hey! thanks yea sort of.

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 02:13

i'll try to get my first skin up and running soon!

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 02:48

hey luigihann what do you use to make your skins with?

LuigiHann · 18th February 2005, 03:06

Adobe Photoshop. I start with the skeletons2.bmp of "Skinner's Atlas" (attached) and I draw my skin on top of that. Then when I'm done I cut the peices out and paste them into the skin files where they belong. It's easiest with Photoshop or Paint Shop or any graphics program that lets you use layers, but I used to do it in mspaint, so it can be done.

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 03:26

Hey luigihann you think you can put your adobe paintshoppro vesion in a .zip file for me and make it a link for me to download because my paint shop pro free trail is almost run out and my little brother uses that to make deffernt things.
infact paint shop pro is not even mine on this computer.

LuigiHann · 18th February 2005, 03:34

Not gonna happen.

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 03:38

Why not?

well then can you tell me where to get it?

LuigiHann · 18th February 2005, 03:44

Option A: At a store, with money. Probably a software store. And lots of money.
Option B: Download the trial from their Web Site. Try Adobe.com. Or search on Google.

As for why I can't send it to you:
Reason A: It's about a kajillion megabytes.
Reason B:
Warez

Oh, and I think "The Gimp" is free. I haven't used it (so I don't know anything useful about it), but it's supposed to be similar to Photoshop
http://www.gimp.org/

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 05:09

oh ok well thats fine i decided to make my skin in ms paint. i might do that for a while. and thanks i'll check out that web site.

LuigiHann · 18th February 2005, 05:16

Yeah, I did most of my skins in paint, Photoshop is fairly new to me. What you've got there doesn't look bad so far. That wasn't too hard was it?

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 05:36

nothis part i did not think would be to hard it is the codeing part that scares me.

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 05:41

hey luigihann you think you can make me an avatar with a red peace symbol in it?

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 05:45

im goin to bed soon and tomorrow i'll check the forums im not going to be able to finish my skin until monday so if you have any at all hints and tips just put them here!

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 05:50

never mind

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 06:02

Forget what i said im not going to bed until the big stuff is finished. i need to know what you think about my text do you think it will blend in with my main?

LuigiHann · 18th February 2005, 11:49

Hey Mr Jones, can you put up the ones about double posting and post pumping too? That'd be great thx
1. There is no coding involved in this. You put it in a new folder inside of c/program files/winamp/skins and you should be able to look at it as you go.
2. No I won't make you an avatar I waste enough energy answering your goofy questions.
3. Why would you post a text.bmp here? They always look about the same. Lets see... the background of your text.bmp is black, and that part of your main is black, so yes, it will blend fine. See part 1 for how you can check it yourself.
4. Have you seen this button?

jerimiah40 · 18th February 2005, 13:27

Merry Christmas Mik

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 14:33

Yea sorry about that guys I got a little to exited about the skinning thing.

tydogg · 18th February 2005, 15:33

You seem to get a little excited about the skinning thing every few days or so, under multiple accounts. If you don't listen when people try to help you, they won't continue helping you anymore.

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 15:37

this is the only accont i have.

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 15:39

But i do need help with this how can i take snapshots of my skin when i finish it?

LuigiHann · 18th February 2005, 15:42

What did I tell you about the edit button?
Hit print screen and then paste it into mspaint

Funny you say that, as there are at least two other user names posting from your IP address as well, so either the database is lying or you are, but there you go.

as you can see from the attachment, 3 users share your IP address when I search the user database, your IP appears to be static, so quit with the 'only account I have' line for a start, otherwise we might just block that static IP.

Start using the EDIT button as well rather than making post after post after post, you have three hours from the time you post a reply to edit it and add anything else you need to say, no need to keep replying one after another.

mike-db · 18th February 2005, 17:28

i said that bankoo is my brother. dont you remember that?
