Oh BTW, Ive uploaded my beta to bloodymary's FTP...once I get word, I will PM the people who requested to beta test UXArchitect with the link.
I will not disclose final features or screenshots.....cuz im waiting to add a major feature, im just waiting for "permission" on a huge request I asked of BlazeD. I hope I get the go-ahead.
I will say this.....UX skinning will never be the same.

HAHAHAHHA, ok ok....you got mail.
Bloodymary already reported a bug when trying to "save to disk" im looking into it now.
Before you start skinning.....go to UXSettings and SET & TEST your ftp settings. that unlocks the capability to save to the xbox. I cant stress that enough.
Please report any bugs.

C1.C1Zip.dll is in the wrong folder. (this is the file required to zip)
the installer is placing that dll in...
C:\Program Files\Blee Zee Inc\UXArchitect\System
it should be in...
C:\Program Files\Blee Zee Inc\UXArchitect
BTW, make sure you have windows explorer set to view hidden files. C1.C1Zip.dll is set as hidden. just copy it over to the correct folder and you will be fine.
the next beta will have that fixed. <

should I post bugs here? cause I found one that probably qualifies as a bug.
anyways here it is.
Under the tab -Colors-
-Dialog-
I choose -CAPTION_TEXTCOLOR- and choose the color red. worked fine.
now say I chose -CAPTION_BACKCOLOR- the color picker box still stays red but the -CAPTION_BACKCOLOR- does not change to the color red. you can't tell which item actually is -CAPTION_BACKCOLOR- until you choose another color.
People like me that don't know what all the tags mean might get confused when they don't see the color change and see it as a bug.
I don't know if it was intentional, if it was it wouldn't have to be changed, you could just point it out in the readme. Then again, readme's hardly ever get read.

-skins like Electric play previews and show game icons in a circle. cause the image is overlayed with a circle png. can you do this in uxarchitect.
-I made a rectangle using shape. made the rectangle pink so I could see the words I put over it. now when I put say CHIPID and C_FREEMB it makes the pink parts of the rectangle clear. meaning I can see the background image behind it. when I load it with ux 0.310229a the rectangle is completely pink and no part of it is clear and the words show up fine. in short,
it shows it wrong in the preview of uxa and it shows it fine on the xbox.-I started a skin and then went to UXA setting. I couldnt continue working on my skin unless I clicked on NEW. but you already mentioned that in your post hehe so that was my fault.
-after my uxa settings where set I started a new skin and then clicked on UXA settings to see how to up it to my xbox, I didnt upload it and clicked on NEW and uxa crashed.
despite all these little issues, this is one awesome skinner, I was able to complete my skin with it much easier than by hand or the other current skinners currently out.
here's the crash box.

Now about the shapes and text. That is NOT a bug. This is actually an issue with the way VB.NET handles transparent images (.png files) it will show a "fake" transparency...wich means it wont show any picture, shape, text(any control) below it... BUT it will show the main background. unless your a programer, its hard to explain how "child" controls get added to "parent" controls. I guess i can add some code to only drag and drop the labels onto shapes and images. that would illiminate that issue. thats the main reason why the main background video is not enabled.
Yes you can over layother images on top of the icon..but again it will not display correctly on the canvas, but it will display fine on the xbox
about having to press "new" to get out of UXSettings....that button is a toggle button, so simply click on UXsettings again and it will display the other tabs
About the font issues. I tried it on both my computers...and they work fine. i tried flip flopping between custom and normal...eachtime the display the correct font. i will look into it some more....im glad its just a UXA issue and everything ends up fine on the box
now about that "NEW" command. i dont like it. i basicly kill the program and then re-initiallize the whole program(i should have did it better). Ive never had it crash, but it did sum funky things to the labels, textboxes and such. I will run thru the whole thing and do it dfrntly.
I checked that error.
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\Blee Zee Inc\UXArchitect\Temp\furibg.png
what where you using furibg.png for? that error means when you selected to either add a custom image or mainbackground it DIDNOT copy the file over...it may have been in use by another program(photoshop maybe) and couldnt get copied. i will add a file check routing to make sure that the file is ther before uploading.......but thats a new one on me..
Thanks for the reports

actually furibg.png was being used by uxa at the time. I had it set as the main background and as the filemanager background.
about the preview overlays. I tested them on the xbox and it still shows the previews in a big square OUTSIDE the circle I had overlayed it. maybe Im just doing something wrong though. Ill keep on testing and let you know if I find anything else.

I never tried loading the same image for both....I will check into that.
about the overlay...are you talking about the game preview or game icon?
I also just thought of sumthing. I will check this...but it may also have to do on how the skin xml is written.... for example
we want the images in this order
image 1 - transparent ring
image 2 - icon
image 3 - background
but if the xml writes it like this
<Image....>image 3.png</Image>
<Image....>image 1.png</Image>
<Image....>image 2.png</Image>
it doesnt overlay in the order WE WANT.
i gotta test this...but i think the xml will write the image tag items in the order the images was added to the canvas...so regardless on how you layer it....it will always write it in order it was added.......if thats the case....it will be fun fixing that bug....
Post by: PaCMaYNE on May 30, 2004, 11:41:00 PM
top-fonts
middle-images/shapes
bottom-bg
edit:
so the bug is whichever you create first will either most top or is it most bottom image?

Ah, it's gonna be fun switching the zIndex of the items, assuming they are individual controls. You may have to keep a record of the order, or just use the TabIndex property. A 'Send to Back', or 'Bring to Front' context menu might be necessary. Like I said, it's gonna be fun  Note that elements are grouped by type, so InfoText are grouped separate from the images and shapes. And they will be rendered in the order they are found in the xml, First-in, First-out manner. |
They are individual controls. I have used up the tag, name, forecolor, backcolor. but you gave me the fix....tab order. I already got the contextmenu set to "bring to front" and "send to back". I will work on that tomorrow morning.....I mean this morning (its 2am now)

Theme colors should be fixed.
Even though I didnt experience trouble with the fonts, I re-coded it and actually stremlined it to a few lines of codes. I hope it fixes that.
The installer now adds the zip.dll to the correct folder.
Im still working on the other reported bugs. Beta 2 should be done in a few days.

I havnt even touched it yet. I spent the day in bed. Huge headache from all the working/thinking. In theory it should be quick. I need to finish up on 1 feature thats in the new version of UnleashX, I cant just leave that half done, I tied it in to my main "PreviewEditor" function, and if I leave it half done, the editor fails and the app will crash. Once thats done, I promise I will work on the z-order of the images/shapes.

Sweet... I was wondering about that myself.... great way to handle it... I've not created any skins with the creator yet... just going into the interface and trying different functions... Of course my weekend was really busy (including memorial day)... so I didn't get much of anything done... I'll leave that ftp open to you Hectobleezy as long as you need...

Are you using dllhost.exe in UXA? I don't know if this is a problem in UXA or my pc. after UXA crashed this morning I noticed dllhost.exe in my task manager and whenever
I end task it, it just pops back up and takes back 5,040k of memory and doesn't let it go. I Looked up dllhost.exe and found it has to do with vb.net and when and when certain calls are made and crashed dllhost.exe hangs and doesn't go away till a fresh system reboot.
I'm going to reboot and try to cause UXA to crash again and see if UXA is to blame for dllhost.exe

If that was a question.. then, to save anywhere other then your box, you have to move the C1.C1Zip.dll to the C:\Program Files\Blee Zee Inc folder instead of the C:\Program Files\Blee Zee Inc\UXArchitect\System folder.. it's a bug in the installer, that has been fixed in the latest installer...
Post by: PaCMaYNE on June 01, 2004, 04:34:00 PM
im missing something i did apparently
Post by: Hectobleezy on June 01, 2004, 07:08:00 PM
you can save to disk(pc)...or save to xbox. when you first start UXArchitect for the first time, it has the ftp features locked(on purpose)....till you test them..if it is succesfull then it unlocks the ftp and changes the function of that save button from save to disk to save to xbox...i even change the icon. but if you notice right next to the button ther is a little "drop arrow"...if you click that it opens up a menu...and in ther you got save to disk and save to xbox. (is ther anything else to save to??....oh yeah....upload directly to the skin sites...hehehehe, but not yet)
to reset your uxa settings, delete this registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\UX
and uxa will think you just installed it. retest your ftp settings and you can then see the button change from save to disk to save to xbox.. do you think i should change this? i thought it was pretty cool to do it that way. but if its confusing...im yanking it and making a simple dropdown menu (yuck!)
I think i mentiond this before with the settings button issue...still unlclear?
About layers....if you got suggestions, by all means tell me....but the more i thought about it, the more it would be hard to determin the order of the images. I have to sorta mimic the photshop layers feature. trust me, i wanted uxa to be dfrnt than the other skinners...they all rely on "listbox/listviews" to keep the info. i dont, i do everything on the fly, with a shiltload of variables and functions. For now the photshop layers thing will have to stay.... I will however not give up on doing it on the fly...
About the FTP....Thanks Bloodymary, I appreciate it. I will not give out that info till I upload the new build. Ther is people who i promised a beta...and i will supply it, but I know this current build is broken, and i dont want that version to float around....so anyone who i promised a beta...will get it...i hope you understand why i dont want to give out this broken build.
about dllhost.exe, thats not sumthing i include with my program, any files that are needed are in the systems folder in the uxa folder(program files). I googled that that dll file and read where other people with dot net code had issue..the same shit you just mentioned. I will double check the code...but im properly disposing of any graphics, controls fonts ...anything in memory...maybe it would help me if you tell me exactly what function you were doing...so i can try to duplicate it. I will read up some more and se what google lists.
Now back to work on layers.

Im going to try to enable the JustInTime debugger options...It would greatly help me if you remember EXACTLY what you were doing when it crashes...that gives me a chance too duplicate it....PM any error messages to me. UnleashX has been a great help and told me what the default values are....so im going to change the "new" function tomorrow.
Weird thing is...UXA doesnt crash my system anymore. just some weird side effects...(like the theme colors...wich should now be fixed)I know the "new" command crashes non WINXP systems. and i think it has to do with making the toolbar display XP icons properly.
I better stop typing here and start typing in VB.NET.
I will check the board later tonight.

I can crash UXA anytime now. here's what I do.
I start UXA. Load any supported image into the BACKGROUND context and hit new again, then I get the same JIT error as before. It doesn't happen if I just load an image in FILEMANAGER, but it will happen everytime if I have an image loaded in BACKGROUND and hit new.
But now DLLHOST.EXE doesn't even show up on my taskmanager so it must have been some other weird bug that I didn't catch.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

Its weird how it crashes with the main background. I think that one variable isnt reseting...so when it reinitializes, "xmlBackground" is still holding that picture path...so when it tries to load it...it crashes cuz that file no longer exsists. I have 2 cleanup routines to clear any temp files, one at start up, and one at exit. i dont like any "orphan" files left behind.
Thanks.

one last thing before you crash out for the night//morning.(1am here) how would i go about skinning the menu to be say like the default dash, like it has a semi circle//sickle look to it? I can't see anything in menu except a big box that says MENU.
reason I ask is because I didnt know if it's in the beta or not. if it's not, then concentrate more on squishing those bugs since stability is better than features for now.
beleive I know how hard it is to program, I wrote an app in vb6 that lets you draw with ascii characters save and load the saved files as text. there's some bugs but it works the way I wanted it to. by the time I was done I was to frustrated to bother fixing the bugs hehe. besides I had more fun writing the script for the NSIS installer that I made it use.

I think i know what you mean about the default menu....removing the borders and backcolors from the menu right? simple.... go to the colors tab, go to the menu section, and use the opacity and set the opacity to 0 on all the colors except menu_textcolor & menu_activetextcolor
that makes the the other parts invisible. The same effect can be achived by removing the elements you dont want from the skin.xml.
I got 2 fixes i can do....put a little note under the menu section saying to set to 0 opacity to make invisible, or making the default "colorscheme" automaticly set it to 0....or both!!

for the circle parts, you need to create the image in photoshop. you can look at both consoleUI and electric skins. both have images (rings - circles) that cover icons. so download those skins and manually load them into UXA and you will see what i mean.
globe: i think its the main..."Planet" in the default ux skin...the blue x, I/you would need to check the UnleashX tutorial that tweakr did.

@PaCMaYNE, i guess im not understanding your question. why dont you PM your default.xml you created by hand and the one UXA generates...i will take a look.
as far as removing the pretext from some of those items.....i think you add a $ in front of it and behind it...so it looks like this..
$Time$
shit another thing i gotta add..a check box called "Remove pre-text"
I re-read your post..i think i understand....you are aware that you can resize the images right? you can get a tiny image and resize it to fit the whole screen. ther is a small ":grabhandle" on the lowerright corner of the image when you select it. put your mouse over it and it will change to an arrow. at that point you hold down the mouse and resize the icon to fit whatever circle you want.

also i may be missing something but when i make menu fixed at a spot,, it has a black background to it,, when i thought it was always transparent,, i may be missing that option,, but its also throwing my text way off from where it is supposed to be,,
and for this i think is ux related and nothing that can be done,, but when dragging the text items to a certain length it still goes beyond the boundaries i set for it
il try and figure some of it out but for now im gonna take a break,, ill se whats goin on tommorrow
edit: i forgot about this a while back,, but it doesnt save your ftp settings
kthx
edit: i was wrong,, i thought it was a one time thing,, but not,, whenever you change color settings to one of your defualts,, you cannot customize the colors from there,, otherwise itll change the rest of the colors to whatever color is on top of the list,, its weird as it will not do this until you have begun to work on the skin,, such as add a BG fix the menu ect

those are floating menus, when uxa starts it will show the menu box in the middle. you can right click on it and a menu will come up....click remove..now go to the text inserter...and "free" button will now be enabled. add those and move them around..
or go the menu options on the "main" tab and select "free menu" now go to the visual tab and select "free" and insert...and do the same as above

the themecolors was broken. ive since rewrote the code....it should now work. as far as the hex colors....everything is handled by vb.net. also keep in mind that colors you see on your monitor and the colors you see on your tv may slightly be dfrnt. but colors was broken.
to remove the backcolor to the "fixed menu" select menu_backcolor and change the opacity to zero. i will double check it in a bit.
about the text.....i completely left out the width attribute from xmlwriter. it has now been added.....i didnt know i left it out till unleashx himself told me i needed it for **EDIT**
Im off from work for the next week, expect beta 2 tonight. so for now. no more bug reports till i release the new one.
I checked the ftp settings saver, and they work for me. i im able to save everything....but i will go thru that code today anyways.

It was HELLA annoying. But it was weird. cuz i would check the registry, and its saves it. but the next time i start it...it has the old shit. I gotta check the "end" routing and make sure im not resaving bad info....but i did go thru test ftp code and re-wrote it.

i got alot already. hundreds. the hard part is converting them so they can be used in UXA.
If you(or any of the uxa beta testers) feel like helping me convert some, this is what needs to be done:
we need a ttf(windows) font...for this example i will say tahoma.ttf
first copy the tahoma.ttf font from the windows\fonts folder to your desktop
open up fontbundler/maker and select tahoma, and select the size you want to start with. right now im only using 3 font sizes, 10, 12, 14 (maybe 16, but i think unleashx will resize the font for those hdtv sets). so you need to create 3 xpr fonts , size 10 would be labeld tahoma-10.xpr, and then size 12 would be tahoma-12.xpr and so forth. so all together you will have 4 fonts:
tahoma.ttf
tahoma-10.xpr
tahoma-12.xpr
tahoma-14.xpr
copy it to your uxa fonts folder and the next time you restart uxa, the fonts will appear.
I also need help with custom images and backgrounds.

It is completly useless to put in.The new version of UnleashX has a screen calibrator, wich means you can now make the dash fit the screen, ther is no more "safety borders", keep in mind UXA was from the beginining designed for the newest version of the dash. when i release beta2 later today, ther is going to be some features you wont be able to test unless you have the new version of UnleashX.

Thanks for sending me these, they made me find a bug. I remember people were having trouble with the fonts showing up right.
I noticed that if i tried to insert text with your fonts selected a dfrnt font is actually used. i spent hours trying to figure out why, It was weird cuz even though it displayed the wrong font, if i went and reselected that same font...it would change to the correct font.
Then it popped into my head. your fonts arnt in my windows\fonts folder. as soon as i added them into the windows folder and windows recognized them, i had no problems inserting the correct font.
I thought the new beta would be out by now.... but i gotta add a routine at startup to systematicly add any "new" fonts into the windows folder.
**EDIT** easy, I just told the installer to add those fonts to the windows font folder. but i will still add a routine at start up...just incase.

Especially those with the file manager backgrounds that have "hardcoded" borders. Those 60 pixels in both directions can be put to good use. |
Once I calibrated my screen, skins looked all weird. not that unleashx was doing sumthing wrong...but that all skins used those borders....now ther is this empty space around the skin, once i created some new skins with UXA and used the whole screen...they looked great..nuthing is cutt off......so yeah, alot of skins will need to be re-done.

In order for the fonts to be available, they have to be installed to the windows fonts folder. Even if the installer doesnt put them in your fonts folder, UXA will detect any new fonts int the UXA font folder and copy and register them with windows. Im also using the .NET installer, it has no options to ask the user a question(correct me if im wrong).
Im sorry I didnt "Inform" you of adding files to your system folder. How else do you suggest that I use fonts in UXA?

That happend to me once. The start up function didnt finish so the rest of the code didnt complete. Colors were wrong, no color themes. 2 settings tabs that were empty.
**EDIT** I updated the ftp with beta 2.1 with error catching, and then added just the .exe wich is compiled to resume no matter what error is raised during startup.

2.1 has some problems too...and its with the "file in use error", im currently working on that. i tracked it down to my "thumbnail" code. anytime i tell it to create a thumbnail, it locks the file...even though im telling it to dispose of everything.
Ther was sum junk code in the "new" command, i removed that thinking it was the cause for the error. try 2.1...tell me if it still craahes
Im sure 2.1 fixed alot of errors. the "file in use" error is a bug from the beginning. im trying to squash that now.

after looking into the "New" command. it does not dispose of the variables, so if you hit new, it still thinks it has the images available to display..so it tries to load it...and its not ther so it crashes.
New will be diabled till i get a chance to fix it. the "file in use" error is at the top of my list.

here what Ive been doing.
background first.
then enable game icon
then put in the overlay image
and then save. and the icon doesnt shine through or it hangs out the edges. I think cause the color has to be something for alpha?

Ok, I found the problem with the colors, it was Type-O. My bad. From now on I will be releaseing daily .exe's., with the quick fixes. Im thinking about adding a feature to autocheck the website and download any new updates.

That person has a beta. Thats why the password was changed. I know UXA is still in its beta stages, I could have went on a hissy fit, but hey, ther will always be people that we cant please. Im proud of UXA. I just wish that "they" come here and post whats wrong, what they dont like, not go to other threads and bash UXA...but again, ive read many posts where UnleashX was bashed bad....and he and the dash keep going. I will do the same.

Then i click the new button at the top left and the error comes up. If you cant repeat the error yourself then ill take a screen shot of what it looks like. EDIT: If i continue using the program after the error has shown up, it adds a settings tab to the regular set of tabs, and then adds and extra settings tab in the settings menu. |
Shit, I thought i fixed that. Ok, so far soo good if its just that. These are just daily builds. I knew that damn file in use error would come up again. Like i said before, its in my thumbnail routine. i will try dfrnt code...or sumthing. but thats when the file gets locked. I will google around and see what I can find.

Wait...so its in the "new" command that it crashes and only then? so if you never hit "new" it works ok? I swear if you say yes...we are close to a public release. I tried a whole new approach with the new command. I first kill UXA (dispose) and then i re-shell it, so it should come right up as if you just restarted it. But if thats the only bug soo far......i will be very happy.

Ther was one feature that simply wont make it. Ive been attempting to to make UXArchitect upload to the skin sites. koldfuzion actually coded sumthing for me to work with AXS, but he coulnt get it to work properly. I do want to publicly thank koldfuszion for his efforts. THANK YOU KOLDFUZION!! I also got permission to upload to blazeD site as well, but my programing skills are pc based. I dont know how to interact with a web site (ftp is sumthing diffrnt,i wish i could use the ftp engine i have build in already) But if any of you programers who want to help with this please PM me, even if your good at html and know how to create a page to upload...please help. IF you do attempt to code sumthing. it must be safe code and respect the website its uploading too. To me this is the last feature thats needed. Any help is appreciated.

My only suggestion is for you to enable some sort of gridline-rulers when working under the visual tab. When placing the text items this could be very very useful and for me almost crucial (i've got pretty rotten eyesight). Also the size or spacing between the gridlines has to be definable by the user so that it can be changed depending on the size of the font he/she is working with.
But that is my only suggestion/complaint, as for bugs i can't really say i found anything out of order wich i suppose would qualify as a good thing.. (or that i suck a beta testing)
GREAT JOB, this will surely breath new life into the UnleashX Skinning Scene, know we have a kick-ass dash AND a kick-ass skin maker.
My hat is off to you mr skinner application maker man! the hat is off!

Rulers may be difficult. Gridlines is hella easy. Snap to gridlines would be the major shit, but im not sure how I would do it, i would have to think about it.
Anyways right now my brain is frying on importing. WOW. sooooo many "what if's"
But I think im about done. Im just dealing with some file in use errors when rewriting the xml to uppercase. its locking the original xml. I got a checker to see if the UXA tag is in the xml, if it is it reads it as a uxa skin, but if its not then it
rewrites the xml so uxa can read it....but here is the problem. the first call to check if its a uxa skin locks it. during testing i had 1 menu to import a uxa skin, and another to import a non uxa skin. they worked great. Now that im trying to make 1 menu for any skin.xml is where im having trouble.
When im done I will go over what the limitations are for importing. This importer will never be 100% accurate...unless its a UXA skin. why? one example is fonts.

Im about done. I think I got everything. The code will reject bad skins. Ive seen some people add crazy stuff to the skinfiles. those will fail.

I had a spare hour today and spent it looking over the code you and KF patched together for skin uploading... my understanding is that it's still not working... I'm unsure about this at the moment... I haven't had time to even run an install any of the last 3 versions of UXA... so I'm not sure what's in there and working and not... anyway.. if it's not working yet... I'll spend some time PMing with you and KF and try to help figure it out... (I'm almost guessing that the problem is somewhere in the security on the axs site, but I'm sure KF would know about that since he codes it).
As a fix for it, you could use a special FTP user/pass on my ftp site for people to (upload only) skins to.. then I could manually them to either AXS or xbox-skins.net. Just a suggestion for a quick/dirty fix... I would just ask that you encrypt the user login/pass for the FTP in the code (so someone couldn't abuse the ftp bandwidth)... oh well... also... perhaps you can chat with ScorpianUk... as I think he is somewhat familiar with web upload/download (actually, I'm just guessing on that)...

No, uploading to the skin sites didnt happen. Im so disapointed about that. that feature would make UXA complete.
about your ftp, i dont want to burden you, then we will have people asking why ther skins dont show up right away. I guess i can also log in and then upload to the sites....but still, thats alot of manual work. I put out a plea for help, but im not sure any coders want to help. for now Im going to put 2 simple links to the skin upload pages. user can click on it and upload manually. Im thinking about creating my own web browser to show the page...i would just take up the preview canvas area.
as far as the importer, its done (i still wanna polish it). i will upload the new .exe tonight. If you dowload the newest build, you will notice the difference.

10. not including the images that are tagged.
9. using folders in the zip
8. tags not set to proper case (Background/backGround)
7. using both the new method for icons and the old
6. puting an icon tag in every possible place, but never actually taging it correctly
5. zip and folder have differant name than what the actual skin.xml lists
4. 9 images, all 640X480 when some should have been like 140x140
3. having the text/images "left/top" tag set to -300 (how can you even see that??)
2. misspellings (Colorsheme/Colorsheen or ifomation/infomation)
1. trying to reinvent ux skinnng by adding ther own elements to see if UnleashX will magicly make it work ,like gif/swf/pc icons/pc-mac fonts/avi/.....I even found a tag that listed a photshop file as the backgrounds....
Anyways, the newest build is on the ftp. Testers, please import some skins. dont look for an imediate error. it may load with out a hitch....but make sure everythins is properly added....like colors, text, images, menu's and so forth.
if the skin fails import, ive set it up to display the xml in internet explorer. that will always list any bad tags/elements/typing erros....and so forth.
I did make a change, setting the author name is now done in uxa settings. i noticed when i imported skins, that authors name was being saved as the main UXA author.
**EDIT** I should say importing is about 95 percent acurate. I was able to overcome most of the top 10 list issues.

Whats left?
1. That bug I discovered when importing custom fonts.
2. Once I read up on this, UXA will resize the Background image when the ScreenSize resolution is changed.
3. Any new bugs you guys report.

4) Will you consider letting the changes done to the menu under visuals tab reflect on the menus showing under the other tabs. It's no biggie but it would look better.
That's how i feel about it anyway, hopefully you'll consider it.
I liked the last added future, i wasn't there when it was present before. I like it, it looks neat and work great. I'll try some more hunting.

They are seperate. The main tab has the menu stuff. the only thing you can do in the text items is insert a free menu item. EVERYTHING must be in a central location, i cannot add the same "setting" to all the pages. Thats clutter and will confuse people. one place for 1 thing. Thank you for your sugestion, but it would require me recoding a big chunk of uxa. Im not willing to do that. we are close to a release. anyways, its just a couple of mouse clicks to get to the other tab.
EDIT>>I dont mean any disrespect, your coming in when the testing is mainly over. Thats sumthing i would have considered when i first announced this project a few months ago. If it was critical, I would change it, but so far Ive had no major complaints that its "complicated" i gotta make it easy to use. I hope you understand.

Hey don't worry about it, i'm not an easily offended person. It was just an idea to implement or not that is totally up to you, i don't think anyone is in a position to be demanding things anyway
Anyway, i've played around with her some more and i found another bug.
1) Edit Item - Opacity.
If a skin has a setting with an amount of opacity other than 100, it will go back to 100 when you open the skin both as an UXA Project and when importing skin.xml.

Whoa! I'm not sure but i think i explained myself poorly, what i was referring to was this :
, but since playing with it some more i've come to realize that it is probably meant for the menu changes reflected under visuals tab to appear on the other tabs... I concluded this since when loading up a skin the changes to the menu's color then will be on all tabs. This was what i was referring to, so to be honest i have no idea what you've just changed. Or maybe i'm just misreading what's written.. That would surely not be impossible.

I think you have done a great job. You will not be able to fix every import issue of existing skins, as you said there is too many variables (spelling).
I only seen the under the settings for "UXA Settings" tab the only options the will enable are the "Enable Gridlines" all the others wont let me check the box.
Whoops I see one more. When importing an existing UXA skin and saving I get a "The given path's is not supported." error.

Strange, i've tried re-creating it since you posted but i've failed everytime.
You're importing a skin.xml and then just try to save it as a uxa project or do you mean you export it as a zip or folder?
Post by: Hectobleezy on June 15, 2004, 09:49:00 AM
And i made an obvious movement of 1 item. thats all.
I was about to say all bugs fixed. I will double check the folder issue when i get back to the doctors office. but at a quik glance, its ok. Were you trying to save to the same folder that you imported from?

Walk me thru it., Ive tried and cannot recreat it. I need to know what you do from the moment you start up uxa, to the moment it crashes. that way i can recreate it.
I did make a change, thinking this may be the problem. Before uxa would autocreate a directory for you when exporting the unzipped files. now it will be up to the user to hit the "new folder" button when the directory dialog comes up, and create ther own folder where to zip.

Fixed: Alot.
Added: uxa now resizes background image to fit screenresolution(this is all done in memory so your original image remains the same size)
EDIT>> removed the capability to add a free menu item from the visual tab and added it to the main menu area.
EDIT>>Remeber, when exporting unzipped projects, you must now create the folder you want it in. uxa will no longer autocreate that folder.
whats left? i want to make uxa show a horizonatal menu.

I think the part about uxa autocreating the folder is where it was crashing. it wasnt creating it everytime. Im glad I yanked it. I was hoping that would fix it.
I decided to finally add the tooltips(ive wanted to from the beginning). Im pleased with the layout. So its time to do it. Thank god the worst I could do is mis-spell or pop the wrong tool tip.
EDIT>> Im going to add a feature to enable/disable the tool tips. They may be helpfull at first, but then they get annoying.

That's the only colorschemes i've made, if you feel they're up to it use and abuse them. silly rabbit.... teeheee. Oh and i've been running the latest upload.. works like a charm so far. I've said it before but i'll say it again... you da man, people are going to stop going to work when this baby is released, god damn what a fine job you've done
Idea 1:
Under Main Tab and on the menu settings could you consider making the Icons box unchecked as default, i think this mirrors how the majority of skins look like. And i have myself, saved skins, forgetting to un-check the box only to see the end result pointing fingers at me when it's been transferred to the xbox.
Idea 2: The ORB/GLOBE/FOG thingie, now... I honestly hate that thing, i think it looks repulsive. BUT there are many who have a different view on the matter and this idea is for them. Is there anyway to get a graphical representatíon of it in UXA. A simple stillimage with matching cordinates for UnleashX will surely do, but placing text and menu items around it without knowing where it will show up when the skin is shown on the Xbox will prove rather difficult.
Other than that, damn! The rezising is wonderful, makes working with UXA a lot easier since there's less need to open Paint Shop Pro
Yeah, i'm lazy so what But on a more serious matter, it's pretty much good to go right. After the horizontal menu representation has been dealt with? I know i've only been testing for a very short while, and i've only had to dealt with "easy" bugs. But it still has been great fun. So thanks, i never knew bugtesting could be fun
PS. I'm not quitting, i'll continue searching for those bugs.
Post by: Hectobleezy on June 15, 2004, 11:40:00 PM
Ive always thought about the orb/globe. to get a transparent ping would be nice. but that would never happen. I would have to use a static image, but then ther will be people saying why cant i make the globe change colors. It would be nice. but i dont think i would do it. who knows, maybe down the road.

Im not sure I will publicly release the source code, its hard to explain. I do belive in open source, I have submitted many projects to PSC, and to be honest, without the open source of other projects, UXA wouldnt exist. I think its hard cuz ive spent sooo many countless days on UXA....so much blood sweat and tears. However I will always be more than happy to help a fellow developer and provide specific code snipets or a whole feature. Maybe down the line will release it. I simply dont know.

I doubt you deleted it or you wouldnt be able to use UXA. I ran UXA and i cant recreate the error. I will do some more "variations" and see what i come up with. Interesting. |
I can now confirm that the bug isn't a local problem with my system, i'm currently at my brothers and just installed UXA on his computer and i can re-create it without fail. As to what's causing it...
No idea at all. Hopefully it isn't anything major as the program runs fine after the appearence of the message.Cheers, now it's time for some barbeque and beer

Whoa. Calm down there, mister. You don't know what you're saying. Take a moment and think about the implications of buying a celeron processor. Just THINK about it. You don't have to necessarily change your mind right now, but you need to get these crazy ideas out of your head as soon as possible.
Remember, we're here to help.

I still havnt looked. I went to the private beach last night that involved "treking" down a cliff, that was no problem, on the way back up I had to climb my way out. So I got plant "juice" on my hands and I swelled up like a cabage patch doll. I am alergic to alot of vegitables, so this was no surprise. Give me a day or so to recover. I will still pop in and check the thread.

I hereby command you to take a break and become well, damn that sounds like some devilish allergies. I hope your not feeling to messed up. However i'm glad that the temp directory bug wasn't so serious. (I presume so since it was fixed so easily, either that or you are one hungry coder)
Get well man!

As of right now all bugs are fixed. I will not release the next build till I add the horizonatal menu. Hopefully this will be the last build.

Post by: jonathan2007 on June 19, 2004, 09:49:00 AM So what program did you use to code this. Visual Basic .Net perhaps?? Do we need the .Net Framework? And did you include the little balloon tips or whatever they are called? I think they would be very useful (but could also get annoying). I can't wait to try this. It looks awesome. Thanks and awesome work!!!

the dot.net framework is required. If you run windows update often, then you already got it. If not, its easy to find. Its worth the download. Post by: Jezz_X on June 19, 2004, 10:19:00 AM

To make sure it is 100% greatness! Imagine the the loss of heart if he were to release it right now.. Just to have a storm of people complaining about issues that MIGHT exist. that's why. I'll be home in an hour or two and i'll start hardcore testing it right away, there is a small thing that i'm suspecting to be a bug. It's when the .uxa file has the same name as the folder. It saves.. but forces you to save in the folder.. Well that's ok, but when it does this it doesn't seem to appear on the recently used projects list. I just stumbled upon this so i'll dig deeper to confirm it's existance.. As always, great work hectomister Post by: Hectobleezy on June 19, 2004, 10:32:00 AM
cuz, i just added some new stuff, and i need to make sure its ok. while that release is being beta tested, I will be writing the docs. If everything is ok, then the uxa website will have its download link enabled. Post by: Hectobleezy on June 19, 2004, 10:43:00 AM
I only read the projects from the projects folder. This is sumthing that will need to be polished. Right now im just trying to release UXA, after that, then I will only update uxa once a month(if needed). Post by: Hectobleezy on June 19, 2004, 10:45:00 AM EDIT>>Fixed. 1.7a now available.

Post by: Hectobleezy on June 19, 2004, 11:02:00 AM
I knew people would ask that. Before you even posted this, i deleted the .exe file. Just run the 1.7a installer. edit>> dayum, i cant link to the ms site. the runtime is aprox. 25 mb, you can also run windows update and update the frame work.....you might also already the framework. My installer will notify you if you need to update the framework.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I've tried it out, looks nice but (sorry) i found something. If you have "Show Icons" enabled and insert a text item it will have a icon in UXA, i doubt it will have it in unleashX, but i just flashed my xbox in a stupid manner (it can't find the dashboard) so i'll have to wait for a dvd-r to check it.. i doubt it, but just in case. That's it for now, i'll continue this road to the ultimate skinning technique

OOPS Fixed. get the update. (icon fix) Post by: Hectobleezy on June 19, 2004, 11:56:00 AM
Thats why I initially kept the menu from poping up on the layers tab. I will see if i can fix it, if not, then im removing the ability to delete objects from the layers area all together. I wont release another update till tomorrow. Im gonna let the bugs roll in and then fix them all at once and post the update tonight or tmrow mrning.

Im not one to brag.....but only evox skinners? Post by: RolfLobker on June 19, 2004, 01:47:00 PM
I'm not one to stat the obvious but... evox and skinning I vagually remember something called Evolution-X  (actually evox is the bios counterpart) but that didn't include much skinning... it was more a matter of choosing different background pictures.MXM was the first to have support for what you can truly call skinning (first dash that is, xbmp also had skinning, amongst others). I feel currently UnleashX and MXM are the only dashes that you can seriously call skinnable dashes (other dashes like avalaunch, evolution-x and thc offer options for different pictures to be used but all your controls are static) Oh, and Hectobleezy: I completely left out your skinner here, sorry bout that. But I want to be sincere and I can't judge your program because it's not public yet and therefor, unfortunately, I cannot test it and judge it Post by: Hectobleezy on June 19, 2004, 02:17:00 PM
So true. Post by: Hectobleezy on June 19, 2004, 07:16:00 PM
Your right, I need to fix that. My main drive took a dump. Luckily I got everything backed up. I just gotta install/restore everything then I will get to it. Post by: alsybub on June 20, 2004, 12:22:00 AM Post by: Hectobleezy on June 20, 2004, 09:18:00 AM
I think im going to release UXA today. Im going to post a poll. Post by: Hectobleezy on June 20, 2004, 09:35:00 AM Please feel free to PM me with any new reports. I want to start using tweaqrs dev site. I got another project for unleashx in mind and everything will be discussed ther. This is my last post here.
