Dynamic Display Pictures by Bradl3y on 10-11-2004 at 01:44 AM

while browsing the 7.0 exe with reshack i see this in one of the UIFILES:

code:
<element resid=DDPContainer
         id=atom(DDPContainer)
         layout=FillLayout() >
    <element layout=VerticalFlowLayout( 0, 2, 2, 2 ) >
        <Image id=atom(DDPImage) colorize=disabled AnimationState=Animate/>
    </element>
    <FlashHost id=atom(DDPFlashPlayer) SafeForScripting=true />
</element>


DDP im guessing is Dynamic Display Pictures, then i see flash, think they are gonna be done in flash?

Could it be possible to add DDP's?

Wonder if it is possible to add them somehow. Does anyone know anything aobut hte map.dat file? how would i decrypt that to manually add a dispaly picture?

RE: Dynamic Display Pictures by M73A on 10-11-2004 at 03:57 PM

DDP is deluxe display pictures on the beta program :S

RE: Dynamic Display Pictures by siebe on 10-11-2004 at 04:18 PM

Neither Flash nor Anitmated GIFs work in the current beta

RE: Dynamic Display Pictures by reisyboy on 10-11-2004 at 05:01 PM

We will have to wait, even though we know or know almost certianly they will be there because the option is there.

RE: Dynamic Display Pictures by Yousef on 10-11-2004 at 05:59 PM

please say something else other than you jsut plain knwo what you are talkinga bout, have you tried? what have you tried?

I am talking about editing the map.dat file and manually adding a display picture thats a flash file (or a cabbed flash file) renamed to .dat of course

does anyone know anything about the map.dat file? how can i decrypt it to manually add display pictures?

see that part :O, that means that we can use flash scripting.. imagine all the evil we coud cause to other peoples computers..
like it installing spyware to steal credit card numbers,

i dont think they will be in FLASH.. and if they are, they will have some scripts disabled..
RE: Dynamic Display Pictures by illuzn on 10-13-2004 at 01:29 AM

Is this the code in UIFILE number 941.... if so it doesn't look like its been implemented yet. If you look at the code its only a container for the DDP theres no window there or anything. Although this does hint at the fact that there going to use flash for animated or deluxe display pics.

And what if they don't? Using Microsoft's past performance, they'll probably drop the ball on this.

dynamic display picture would be kinda annoying anyways heh, hopefully they do drop the ball on it, i was just wondering if it was possible because of this... i notice there is a Dynamic Dis... folder in the application data section, but ther eisnt even a map.dat file, so yeah, probably wont work, unless you can create one
