yo, I'm digging this skin up from the grave.
I've talked with lunarboy1 (original author), and have gotten the ok to take over the project.

If you remember the skin, you know that the project got cancelled because of broken regions for components.
I have now been able to get the wanted effect without using those regions, but instead using a little hack, similar to a hack found in Invicta for another reason.
If you don't remember this skin, it's basically a winamp port of the default Sonique v1 interface.

Progress on this will initially be slow, as I have the Stargate project to finish up first, plus some important schoolwork. But after those are done, progress should speed up on this one.

What I'd like to know now, is if there's anyone who knows where I can get ahold of the original Sonique v1 interface?
I have searched everywhere, but it seems like the skin is only distributed inside the Sonique.exe file or something.

If anyone have an extracted copy of the skin, or knows where I can find the skin, I'd very much like to know..

I'll post a screenshot of the current status of the skin.

good luck

Yeah, best of luck with that one, I remember picking apart some of the source code on that skin to see how to do a shaped avs window for a skin I was planning, was going great right up until the region thing got broke and never fixed again, mind you it did make for a hell of funky skin if you did try and use it hehe

thanks guys..

now if only I could get my hands on the original default sonique v1 skin... making this thing from screenshots will be a major headache...

[Naamloos]

let me see, i think i've worked on this along with lunarboy, and did the avs. Or helped him with it. Let me see if i have it somewhere on backup

[Plague]

naamloos, lunarboy1 has sent me what he had, but he made this from screenshots.. So if you have the original sonique skin, then it would be awesome.

[Naamloos]

nope, havent got anything (no winamp skin, nor the sonique)

[Mr Jones]

I have sonique 1.63 that has that skin as the default, it was on a cover disc of some japanese mag that I had a skin published in 5 years ago

I can send you the exe if you want to install it, you could screen grab it from that.

On the other hand, if you can work out how to open a sonique skin file (.sgf) then you would only need 288kb, but I can't figure it for love nor money.


Let me know.

Jones,

I have the latest available Sonique installed already, but there's no skin in the skins directory. Is the default skin located somewhere else?

If you want to send me the sgf file, then that would be great.

[Mr Jones]

It's located in the sonique/system directory I believe , it's called sonique.sgf

However I have no idea how you open it up to get at the files inside, I found the old sonique skin creator plugin that will open the file and show you what's inside, but not how to extract any of the files.

I haven't tested it.... But I found a utility that claims to be able to Extract those Skin formats....

I hope that will work....

[Mr Jones]

It does, good find...

Here is the skin, had to split it over two archives, even with all the .rgn files and what have you taken out it was still too big.
