[SLoB]

i've done a couple of scripts which makes this easier
your welcome to try it out, requires little setup, thers even one of those readme files that noone bothers to read lol

you just extract the files to a folder of your choice (if not the default path)
amend the text file to point to your mc.exe (its setup as default c:\program files\winamp\mc.exe if i remember correctly)
then merge the registry file
that adds 2 menu options on a right click context menu, ie open explorer up and right click on an *.m file, the .m file can be on any drive as the file path is passed to mc.exe thru the bat&vbs files

its not everones fave method but i find it works for me

you can grab the file here
compile a .m file from right click

it leaves the cmd window open on a pause so you can see wot its done or the error

[skryingbreath]

hmm how do i merge the registry file?

nvm figured it out. but...it asks which program to compile it with, do i go to mc.exe?

Also, for my future reference, what would i do to remove the registy entry?

[SLoB]

did you read the readme file?
hope ive explained it all in there, check it out, have u extracted to the default path or?

edit: manual change to the paths will be needed, i did this when winamp 3 was out so check the paths

for removal, its easy
open up registry, regedit
goto top of the list HKEY_Classes_Root\*\Shell

both of the entries are in there and can be deleted

if you check the command, the path should/needs to be the path you extracted the files to, basically all it does is provide a shortcut to the bat file and passes in the path of the .m file to compile
just make sure all the paths are correct in the scripts and it should work
makes it nice and easy to compile any .m file in any directory/drive so ya dont need to keep creating a bat file to go in each seperate folder etc...

[skryingbreath]

ok, i did exactly what the readme tells and this is what happens

[SLoB]

i'll do an updated version for winamp 5 vsoon

can you bosh in the path of where you extracted the bat files too, and the paths in the reg file (open with notepad)
looks like the path to your winamp is default, have you placed the mc.exe in the winamp folder?

[skryingbreath]

the mc.exe is in this dir
C:\Program Files\Winamp
I placed the 'compiler' folder as this
C:\Winamp_WAL_Renamer

thanks

edit: also, are you sure that the reg entry is in
HKEY_Classes_Root\*\Shell ?
I deleted them and restarted and it is still there :-\

[SLoB]

i'll redo an updated version to share

[skryingbreath]

ah ok, do you know any other way to get rid of the entries in the context menu when you right click a file?

hideshow script

I figured i contribute some of my scripts to this thread.

Here's one, hideshow.maki. basically it hides/or shows objects if the parent group dimension (width and/or height) falls into a certain specified range.

code:


<script file="scripts/hideshow.maki" param="objectID,minWidth,minHeight,maxWidth,maxHeight"/>

[leechbite]

centerobject

and another one. This one simply centers an object to the parent group.

code:


<script file="scripts/centerobject.maki" param="objID,cenX,cenY"/>



  objID = ID of object to center

  cenX = 1 or 0. if 1, centers object on x-axis

  cenY = 1 or 0. if 1, centers object on y-axis

text-to-attrib

or it should be named attrib-to-text.

script will make a text object display a configAttribute value.
one use for this is for temptext. assign/create a configattribute for the temptext then with this script link your songticker text to that configAttribute. this way, temptext is accessible on any script just be modifying that config attribute.

code:


<script file="scripts/text-to-attrib.maki" param="objID,configGUI;attribName,prefix,suffix"/>



obj - ID of text object.

configGUI;attribName - config attribute, same format as cfgattrib tag.

prefix (optional) - adds this string in front of the attrib value

suffix (optional) - adds this string at the end of the attrib value

progbuton

this creates a programmable button just like in KameleonDUI.

code:


<script file="scripts/progbutton.maki" param="buttonID,progID,default"/>



buttonID - ID of button object. if using XUI buttons, you can define it as xuibuttonID;actualbuttonID.

progID - (string or int) program ID, all buttons with same progID will function the same.

default - default button action. you can define it like this:

    "PATH|http://212.72.186.10:8072|energyradio.fm - energyx"

    or

    "EQ|Rock"

ill probably update and add some more stuff on this script next time.

thats all for now.

[UUL]

Is there a way to get the original dimensions of a image through maki? I need it for an advanced Slideshow.

Thanks!

[leechbite]

you can load it into a map then do map.getWidth()/getHeight().

[UUL]

Thanks Leech

edit: getWidth() works, but getHeight() just gives the width of the image
