Drawing is done in the order you specify... just like skin layouts. You could use a transparent color (color parms now accept 0xFFFFFFFF notation, as well as named colors).

yea i read that in the txt file.. after doing skins i should have known better than to ask.

the NEWER implementation REMOVED functionality from the standard string classes

how bad will that affect mxm?

Well, it shouldn't affect it, but it entailed me changing a bunch of "shortcut" code that used notation like:

sReturn = _T(".") + sReturn;

Which would tack the period on to the beginning of whatever sReturn was (these are text strings) - but the latest STL implementations from M$ seem to have removed the magic function that allowed me to add two strings together like that. Now I have to use:

sReturn.Format( _T(".%s"), sReturn.c_str() );

Which does the same thing.... oddly, though:

sReturn = sReturn + _T(".") ;

CAN be turned into:

sReturn += _T(".");

which is even more of a "shortcut" - yet it works. Actually, in retrospect, it might be that the implementation for the above shortcut worked before, but not now, perhaps due to some subtle change in the way the compiler is generating the appropriate C++ function calls (those lines are translated into some basic function calls)

At any rate, I'm adding a timer "special" - expect another update in an hour or so.

[koldfuzion]

I updated the previous post with the script.

Now it protects against moving too far left or right.. and uses a green shade over the current selected number in the IP.


Actually.. the current script could be used with a little of the new xml to enable IP changing in XML.   If someone wants to do that (I hope so, or I will have to) then feel free to grab the script and modify etc.

BJ, I've tried everything to get the MID string function to work... any help

SETFUNC MY3IP MID 3 1 "Freedy"

Actually, I cant get  LEFT, MID and RIGHT too work.

TRIMLEFT, TRIMRIGHT, LEN, TRIM all work fine.

DBZRacer and I will release the IP part of this script to set your IP and update your mxm.xml (then reboot).  DBZ is finishing up the xml stuff right now.  

Please note:  it will always start with a default IP address until I can break down the current ip into individual numbers, but its better than nothing.

Hey BJ, here's the update on the script KF and I are working on. I got as far as getting the write commands for the mxm.xml file done tonight just to make sure everything works right. I'll change the statics to real variables later and KF and I will work on the rest of the inputs/selections.

My question is, how do I define: <Newsfeed name="newsfeed"> I've been stuck on this one for a while now...

[BenJeremy]

I'll try and take a quick look at the string functions this morning before I go to work....

...as for setting attributes, XMLSetValue has an optional parameter "PrefAttr" - setting this to a string of any length should attempt to place the value in the attribute of an existing node or element....

CODE

XMLSetValue NewXML !.Newsfeed.Name "MyNewsfeed" true

EDIT: Well, just tested that, and it's not working right, but I should be able to fix it (IT seems to always create the element, even if one already exists - though you could put it first to make it create the tag, then set it)

ANOTHER EDIT: I should have this fixed shortly... found the bug with the Left/Right/Mid and also the problem with attributes. Testing now.

OK, it's fixed and the "WIP" binaries have been updated... both issues.

Give it a whirl guys...

[koldfuzion]

your freakin awesome! thanks!

[koldfuzion]

cool.  we are near completion of the NEW USER script.  

This script will OVERWRITE the existing mxm.xml.  Its not intended for current users to edit what they already have.  


We will continue with a CURRENT USER script to allow editing of the current mxm.xml once this first one is complete.

That sounds excellent.... you guys are awesom.. now if I could stay off working on my website and mirc... I could maybe write some myself... LOL...

THE script is about 75-80% done!!! KF is blending our 2 peices of code together. I must say this is one LOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG script!!!

Now it's time for thorough testing and adding "extra" usability features.  

[koldfuzion]

here is the final version of the script although you can use it without a WIP right now, nor would you probably want to.

You can run through the script without worrying about it overwritting your mxm.xml until the very end when its time to save.   then you have the option to save and reboot or quit.

If anyone finds anything wrong with this, let us know and we will fix it. hoepfulyl someone will find this useful.

Final Version of New User script by DBZRacer and KoldFuzion

oh, the link is because I didnt want to post all 1400+ lines of the script.

[DBZRacer]

Updated the script to fix the "BACK" errors. You should now be able to go back and forth through the entire script without any problems.

Edit: Now mirroring v1.03
Final Version of New User script by DBZRacer and KoldFuzion

[koldfuzion]

thanks for the fix.  I thought I ran through it real good.. but maybe not.

I updated my link as well.

Now.   ..  to continue with the IP Changer (actually all network settings) then the Current user script.

[jlm5151]

Great work guys, definitely an awesome script, keep them coming.

[koldfuzion]

Previously, we were writing out the ip, dns1, dns1 gateway and timeserver addresses with leading zeros.  Something like 192.068.001.003

While its not exactly incorrect.  Its just not cosmetically correct.  So I modified the script to return the values we are all familiar with, using the address above:  192.68.1.3

The only other thing changed was the option to quit when ready to save the file.   It previously stated: "Press Black Button to quit and reboot later".  Now it more accurately reads "Press Black Button to Quit Without Saving"

you can get it at this link for sure..

NEW User Script Version 1.02

DBZRacer should get his mirror link updated after the weekend.
