Winamp Skin Development Pack 5.9 [2022/08/22]

[SLoB]

will post here too as its relevant to the new std.mi

with the addition of the frame object, this keyword cannot be used as a variable if compiling for 5.5+

might find for example that some skins with animated layers using frame as an integer to catch frame number to show will stop compiling

^^installer in 1st post is updated^^

[martin.deimos]

^^ Installer updated for 5.51 beta ^^
Check out/test the new pldir.mi library

[RandomCarpet]

yay

Now, it will be possible to sort the playlist by artist, album, track name, track number or just any other metadata string.

[martin.deimos]

yep
although the sorting algorithm must be implemented by the skinner, it is at leasta good point to start in order to make skinning more customizeable.
Ah, don't forget to bump your skinversion to 1.31

The ripprotection.mi is based on LockUI(). I think that this is not a good solution to prevent usage of "ripped skins". What about switchskin("Winamp Classic");? It works well and doesn't confuse the user with locked UI. I tested it in different languages and it works perfectly.

[martin.deimos]

k, thanks
but i don't use the ripprotection anymore and it wasa more a mistake that it made it into this distro

Drawer script with params

Attached is a few scripts I used in Azenis 2.

If I want to send Xui object, what directory structure should I use? All of them are (skinname/sc/xuiname/*) atm...

[martin.deimos]

i want to have them in the dir
lib/xui/xuiname/
the skinner must take them out of this dir and insert em in the skin

community scripts should also go in an extra folder
lib/contribs or something like this.

[martin.deimos]

the updated std.mi/pldir.mi can be downloaded from 1st post.
no extra installer atm

Here is a xui object for track ratings

code:
<!-- Example:



	<Wasabi:Ratings

		x="175" y="82" w="55" h="13"

		image_nostar="ratings.none"

		image_star="ratings.normal"

		image_hoverstar="ratings.hover"

	/>





	Please remember that you must set the object

to the height of the rating picture... 

and the width to 5*imagesize.

	Each param start must only be a single star.

-->

@martin, I included a xui-files.xml too... so you can maybe add all the xui's in the package on that list and then have a <!-- --> section called Disabled XUI's...
I used this folder:
../xui/Ratings/

Martin, in the latest std.mi MC_TARGET is defined as "Winamp 5.51 (skin version 1.31)". Is this correct?

[martin.deimos]

this doesn't matter, hehe
