MAKI Cheats

1. yes it should be possible to code that.
2. you can't replace only the oscilliscope, but you can have both the normal vis and your "custom vis" at the same place and then use some maki magic to block the oscilliscope from beeing used and instead turn your vis on...


iPlayTheSpoons: I would, if I had time for it, which unfortunately I don't right now..

Hi guys, thank u for your suggests...I think it's useless the script if i can't include it in the skin, but thanks anyway!
I've already solved the problem with the components and the language color...a little help from a friend!

peace

[Plague]

what script are you talking about?
impossible?

The script that needed the WAC.

[Plague]

tis possible..
there are ways to make the wac a separate download.

-Plague

[hammerhead]

Yes, but not many people are going to bother to download a wac, install it etc.

[Plague]

if the skin is designed so that the user gets a message the first time runing the skin, if the wac isnt installed, about downloading the wac, and by a click of a button, the download automatically starts, I do think that alot of people would download it..

ScriptObjects are MEANT to be used, I say go for it..

-Plague

[hammerhead]

maybe..

[Evil Pumpkin]

Can u guys explain to a poor noob of ScriptObject what they really are?...

peace

[Plague]

they can be anything..
think of them as extensions of std.mi, ie: they can add Maki functionality that isn't there normally..
Like more advanced vis-options, playlist manipulation, etc...

They require a wac, and unfortunately there's no way to package the wac with the skin and still be able to upload the skin to winamp.com. But it is possible to use the wac as separate download, ie: you check if the wac is installed, in maki, on startup and if it's not, display a messagebox which can direct you to the download..
If it is installed, use it..

How do you mean? Changing layouts can be done in XML, and if thats not fancy enough frisbeemonkey made a script that puts all the layouts in order and uses up/down buttons on the layout to change the layout. Plus the buttons can be right clicked to produce a menu list of all the layouts so you can pick one.

So if that doesn't help you, can you please get specific? (and not just "like invecta", I follow the thread and that still doesn't help make any sense).

[iPlayTheSpoons]

he means something like changing an LCD's contents by fading from lets say, normal with timer and what not to an eq or something

[matt_69]

ur both talkin about what i want but i think J_Bloggs has got the right one. where can i get this script from?

[J_Bloggs]

The script I mentioned should be in this thread somewhere, at least frisbee said he'd put it in here.
