[Help] Adding resources by SmokingCookie on 03-18-2008 at 05:53 PM

Hi,

I am currently familiar with replacing resources, but adding a brand new "Options" button to window 923 isn't really working (well, not for me).

Can somebody please explain me how it should work?

Tnx in advance..

You have to specify the exact place the image will be and also give it a new id. Then you replace that image under the <New> section in your SkinInfo file.

SkinInfo: no problemo, but the Definition isn't exactly organized (even the Consolidated windows).. I think they're very hard to read, let alone to add a new button..

The id is 59001..

Check skins that have done it like "Horton hears a who" or "Beaver and Steve"

Well, I temporarily inserted your code between the <* PlusSkin > tags..
Doesn't work, I get this error:

code:
08/03/19 15:54:50| DUIParserFailure: Value creation failed '' 115

EDIT:: Used this in the SkinInfo file:

code:
<Restrictions>
<SkinOptions>
<OptionSet>
<Conditions>ShowOptions = "true"</Conditions>
</OptionSet>
</SkinOptions>
</Restrictions>

(...)

<Resources>
<Replace>
<Windows>
<Definitions>
<Definition Id="923">
<File>MessengerSkin\ResGroup\Resources\Replace\Windows\Definitions\msgres_4004_923.txt</File>
</Definition>
</Definitions>
<Styles>
<Style Id="923">
<File>MessengerSkin\ResGroup\Resources\Replace\Windows\Styles\msgres_4005_923.txt</File>
</Style>
</Styles>
</Windows>
</Replace>
</Resources>

But of course, it didn't work

EDIT 2:: Same error if I move this section into the restrictions group of WLM 8.5.. Line 115 of my file is:

code:
<element class="ToolbarIcon" content=rcimg(59001)/>

RE: [Help] Adding resources by Basilis on 03-19-2008 at 03:55 PM

You have to replace the 59001 like this
<New><Pictures>
<Picture Id="59001">yourimagename.png</Picture>
</Pictures></New>

Great...

I have a sign-in problem with Messenger, so I cannot test anything for a while

EDIT:: Still doesn't work

code:
08/03/19 17:24:27| **** The trace has started ****
08/03/19 17:24:27| Skin: GTA IV Skin 1.01
08/03/19 17:24:27| Messenger version: 8.5.1302.1018 (nl-nl)
08/03/19 17:24:27| Messenger Plus! version: 4.50.312

Line 115:

Life of Vista has:

code:
<Button cmdid=7460 id=atom(Whalemen) AccRole=57 Class="TransparentButton" Layout=flowlayout(0,2,0,2) Active=MouseandKeyboard|NoSyncFocus Padding=rect(5,4,5,4)>
<element class="ToolbarIcon" content=rcimg(59107)/>
</Button>

You're probably miss the <Button> part. And because of that, you're probably missing the Style file part:

code:
button[id=atom(Whalemen)]
{
AccName:rcstr(80);
accdesc:rcstr(80);
}

No I'm not..

SkinTrace errors:

code:
08/03/20 08:30:31| **** The trace has started ****
08/03/20 08:30:31| Skin: GTA IV Skin 1.50
08/03/20 08:30:31| Messenger version: 8.5.1302.1018 (nl-nl)
08/03/20 08:30:31| Messenger Plus! version: 4.50.312
08/03/20 08:30:31| Last definition file loaded: 923
08/03/20 08:30:31| Last picture file loaded: 59001
08/03/20 08:30:31| DUIParserFailure: Value creation failed '' 115

This is what I have:

code:
<*PlusSkin Conditions(ShowOptions = true) *>
<Button cmdid=7460 id=atom(skinbtn) AccRole=57 Class="TransparentButton" Layout=flowlayout(0,2,0,2) Active=MouseandKeyboard|NoSyncFocus Padding=rect(5,4,5,4)>
<element class="ToolbarIcon" content=rcimg(59001)/> <-- This is line 115
</Button>
</*PlusSkin*>

SkinInfo:

code:
<New>
<Pictures>
<Picture Id="59001">MessengerSkin\ResGroup\Resources\New\Pictures\BtnOpt.png</Picture>
</Pictures>
</New>

Style file:

code:
Button[id=atom(skinbtn)]
{
accdesc:rcstr(80);
AccName:rcstr(80);
}

EDIT::

I think, for some really weird reason, that the style file isn't loaded..

Thanx lads

Got it workin'
