I'm trying to create pannels for the rythm section
Pannel 51 is for normal rhythm , pannel 53 is for split rhythm (left deck1 - right deck 2)

So. <rhythm pannel="51"> ...etc....ok the rhythm is ok..

When i try to create the split rhythm pannel i write <rhythm pannel="53">..etc..etc.. i get a line error i tried deck 1, deck="1", nothing

Any ideas?

Try to open the XML of new vdj6 default skin and make a copy and paste ;)

The default ver6 skin VirtualDJPro does not contain pannels for rhythm (split for example) , just the standard rhythm.

i understand that you need, but im not a big fan of split waveforms.
my best advise is to look through some of the skins in the download page, and rip what you need out of them..


Edit: Check v-mix 5.4, in the top left corner, there is the clock, to the right of that is a box you click to change the waveforms.

V-mix 5.4 is a skin not valid for VDJ script ver 6. I have seen those lines in the xml and i tried but no result, i get an error. It seems like VDJ ver6 allows the line rhythm just once in an xml file. Strange. Can someone verify this?

strange you say this, as i loaded v-mix into vdj6.0.1 and it behaved ok in respect of the rhythm bar. i'll recheck my findings, and report back

you use the syntax...

< rhythm pannel="51">
...

< /rhythm>


and

< rhythm pannel="52">
...
< /rhythm>



its same in v5 and v6 it seams unless im mistaken.

if you write a skin with first line ....version=5 or 4 and you load it on VirtualDJ ver 6, it plays normally. But if you write a skin on ver 6 you should only use commands ver6 in order to play normally without errors.

ah, ok. thankyou, i'll keep this in mind.

Thats correct. The skin engine was completely rewritten for V6.

The first line of your skin XML tells VDJ which skin engine to use.

<Skin name="VirtualDJ 6 Advanced Default Wide" version="6" width="1440" height="900">
This uses the newest engine

<Skin name="VirtualDJ 6 Advanced Default Wide" version="5" width="1440" height="900">
This uses the older engine from V5 and before.

So whilst you can create a skin using the V5 engine and it will work in V6 (like the V-mix) you can't copy the code from a V5 skin and paste it into a V6 designed skin.

Whilst i have not finished a skin using the V6 framework due to work commitments i am 90% sure split waves are possible. I will figure the code out and post here.

Well i found my mistake.... The error on line 225 <rhythm pannel="53"> was actually an error in the entire rhythm block. I was thinking that if i wanted just the deck 1 to be on sight ,commands like chan2_active1, or chan2_active2, or overlay etc were not necessery. Well i was wrong. I should write them too and make the chan2 be black.
So... we are allways learning something !!!!

Consider the topic [SOLVED], or better [SELF SOLVED] !!!!! hehehe

i cant get my VDJ6 to start. it keeps saying invalid skin file (error line 0 in the xml). what do i do to get it working???

How do you find this thread!? Lol

Simply try uninstalling and re-installing VDJ. If you're using
Vista/Win 7, make sure you install as an administrator.

Hopefully this will resolve the problem.
