Vertical Rating for Player

[karimleo]

Hello everyone. I am working on a skin (which I hope some of you will like when I finish it) and would like to have the player rating stars vertical instead of horizontal. I have tried

Code: Select all

TrackReversed=1

and making the vertical size larger than the horizontal size but neither achieve the desired result. Does anybody know how to implement this feature?

Thank you very much

nope wrong code that just makes the slider go the other way.

as in the sliders you make the ratings to vertical the same way.


make shorter on the right and longer on the left
left horoz.... pixel location.

right vertical pixel location.

works like this

size= 10,30

makes it 10 wide and 30 high.

use the reverse with the code i think that makes the stars start on the bottom and go up, not sure but i think it would.

i've been trying to figure out just what kind of effect you are trying to get? the images of the stars showing on top of the background instead of the color background??

that needs the stars to be made in a program that lets you pick the png format for images then you make the background transparent on it. you then load the rating images in to the player mskn file seperately (not loaded on the image map.)

is that what you want?

I have made the stars from scratch in Photoshop with a black background. They look perfect horizontally like this:

*****

But I would to see if I could have them like this:

*
*
*
*
*

I tried reversing the horizontal and vertical values but it did not work. I shall keep trying incase I come across the answer.

Thanks for all your help.

but that is the answer for going from horz. to vert.

what photoshop you use to make the stars?

if you want them on black then you can put them on the image map

and use it. there only needs to be one star.

open up several of the defalut skins like royal blue and casino orange. look at there player mskn files in the theme editor.

look at their object for rating and see just what kind of images are used. more then likely it is only one. but there might be two of the five images used.

the second one is just half the star if used. or just the blank space beside the image of the one full star.



oh there is one bit of code you need to put in the ini file for rating. when going vertical you need to have that code.

resize=0,0,1,1
if you want to keep them in line and move to the right when the skin is stretched.

if you want them on the left and not move reverse the number ones. if you want them in the middle then put both number ones in the middle. or just make them all ones.

if you make them 3 zeros and the one on the far right. your stars will end up looking like

Code: Select all

*    
    *
        *
            *
                 *

which is not very good cause it also cuts the stars in half.

is that the right answer you needed.

below is the code for ratings i just did in a skin i sent to nohitter151. the stars are vertical in that one, and i made them vertical in my trucking monkey skin's float player.
so it is possible to do don't give up.

Code: Select all

[Rating]
Type=Panel
Resizable=0,0,1,1
Pos=290,10
Size=8,50
Transperent=1
