Topic: Could anyone help me add cue count down to the pioneer ergo skin please?????

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi

I am using the pioneer ergo skin, but would like to add under the cues 1,2,3,4 a counter timer so i can see in seconds how much time i have left to the next cue or gone from the previous cue.

I would appreciate this as the other skin i used had this but was only 2 decks and want to use this as it seems very good but would like this feature and maybe even a beatlock button for each deck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

you just need to fill in the blanks. to get the "size and pos" use either jeremk's skin creator or paint should be okay just a little harder to read

<textzone deck="#" format="%Ptocue#">
<size width="" height=""/> how big the text box will be
<pos x="" y="" /> where the textbox is positioned on screen, x is horizontal axis, y is vertical
<text size="" font="" color="" align=""/>
</textzone>

eg

<textzone deck="1" format="%Ptocue1">
<size width="50" height="20"/>
<pos x="20" y="200" />
<text size="14" font="arial" color="#088605" align="left"/>
</textzone>

the color of the text is in hex or html, you can find colors online or in a decent picture editor

if you paste the example in your skin file you will see a textzone with info for deck 1 cue 1, in the above green text

Hi

Just tried it and it comes up with invalid skin file error line 6933 in the xml file.

Not sure why this is, i was just using wordpad to edit the xml file.

If you could help me out i would appreciate it.

thanks

ps i tried putting it near the begging and at the end both did not work.

Just got it working just had to add one minor thing to a line.

<textzone deck="1" format="%Ptocue1">
<size width="50" height="20"/>
<pos x="28" y="390" />
<text font="arial" size="12" color="#908f8d" weight="bold" align="left" format="%Ptocue1"/>
</textzone>

Thanks again could not have done it without you.

The format part in the first line is actually ignored. The proper place to have the format is in the <text> line. So you may delete the first one.
