modern viz bug

the new vis setting

oscstyle="solid" 

has been mixed up with

oscstyle="lines" 

meaning, solid is showing what lines are supposed to show, and vice versa..
just compare with classic skins and see for your selves..

ofcourse that works, but other issues have come up when doing it that way, issues that won't go away.
for example, I'm using the same menu on multiple objects, and depending on which object and what circumstances, some commands should or should not be disabled. the problem is that if a command is disabled on one object, it will be disabled on the next object aswell, despite the fact that it shouldn't be.
and even weirder, if for some reason all commands in the menu should be disabled for one object, the menu cease to pop up at all on the other objects!

theese are some of the problems that I cannot seem to shake, when doing the menu this way.

have found out the following (winamp3 beta 3 rocks), with gammagroup "Vis/Eq" you can set the gammagroup for eqvis, although this object won't accept a gammagroup param; altering the values of this gammagroup will also change the gammas for all vises if you havn't declared an extra gammagroup for them so you only need to put the eqvis without any gammagroups in your code and add gammagroup "Vis/Eq" in your gammaset.

This also works for Winamp 5.3.
But Benski will fix the missing gammagroup tag when he finds time! Dunno if it will be in 5.31 - but a workaround is here and there are more important things to be done first, not this lil thing.

lazy ass..

sorry, didn't want to search - had to run

bsck to menu:
am i right you have let's say 5 buttons which the same menu but want different checks / disables? ehy not create a XUI object for this button? then every button has it's own script. and if you want to disable items on more then one button set PrivateInts

[Plague]

xuiobjects won't work because of other issues...
I don't wanna give too much away, but let's just say it's very complicated.

[martin.deimos]

k, i only wanted to help you.
It's your decission if you accept help or not
In my early days as skinner i thought that i would never release any of my source scripts - but now due to my work with skinconsortium i have a different oppinion!

<slider> bugs

seems there are some bugs with the <slider> object, depending on which action you have on it and what orientation the slider is.
for example:

  <slider
    id="preamp.h"
    action="EQ_PREAMP"
    fitparent="1"
    thumb="player.slider.horizontal.button"
    downThumb="player.slider.horizontal.button.pressed"
    tooltip="EQ: Preamp"
  /> 

this doesn't work as it's supposed, same with all other EQ sliders in horizontal orientation.
What happens is that they all start at 0, and only climb up.
The EQ sliders are supposed to go from -20 DB to 20 DB, but in horizontal mode, they go from 0 DB to 40 DB.
setting high="128" and low="-128" won't help.

  <slider
    id="balance.v"
    action="PAN"
    fitparent="1"
    orientation="v"
    thumb="player.slider.vertical.button"
    downThumb="player.slider.vertical.button.pressed"
    tooltip="Balance"
  /> 

This is behaving strangely aswell, this time it's vertical orientation that's behaving strangely.
Everything is fine except that at the center, the thumb disappears and it says it's at 200% left, but the sound is clearly centered. Other than that, everything's fine, it can go from 100% left to 100% right, no problem. It's only the center that's screwed up..

okay, didn't know that..
So it's been known for a year and still not solved?

Anyways, the EQ slider thing hasn't been known before, and I bet they're related..

yea, well, thing is, I have multiple checks that could all trigger a command to be disabled, so if I use addcommand and disable it right from the get go, it will create a new disabled item for each triggered check.
so I might end up with like 5 items of the same thing..

Create the menu just before it is shown. Do this with your own function.

For example. I usually do my menus like this:

Function ProcessMenuResult(int a);
Function UpdateMenus();

Global Popupmenu visM1;

System.onScriptLoaded() {
}

UpdateMenus(){
  visM1 = new PopupMenu;
  visM1.addCommand("Normal", 1, checkedBoolean, disabledBoolean);
  visM1.addCommand("Fire", 2, checkedBoolean, disabledBoolean);
  visM1.addCommand("Line", 3, checkedBoolean, disabledBoolean);
}

myButton.onRightButtonUp(int x, int y){
  UpdateMenus();
  ProcessMenuResult(visM1.popAtMouse());
  complete;
} 

Because you use this:
visM1 = new PopupMenu;
you wont...
