Thanks - Cranial - 2008-11-24

xb2iris...

I know you're working hard on version IV. The forums may have quietened slightly during your move and subsequent lull in forum activity. But please let it be known that your great work and generous use of your time is greatly appreciated by myself and many many people here.

Now that that is out of the way... I notice a vigourous use of the term eish lately.... Have you moved to South Africa? If so, whereabouts? I may be able to have an xbox delivered to replace the lost one....

And no, I'm not in Springbok territory, I'm in Australia, but hey, we all have our tricks.

Are you sure about that? I could have SWORN that there used to be a really slick OSD for PMIII which would give you quite a bit of control over Milkdrop. I know there was. There was an option to "enable Stereo 3D", which would make the visualizations turn, well, 3D with glasses. I know I'm not making this up...just dunno what skin it was in. Pretty sure it was PMIII...

Myself...I'm doing well. Having some problems with the local authorities ATM, but nothing that can't be dealt with...

Ok, thanks for replying anyway... hopefully some smart cookie somewhere (maybe yourself) will fix it one of these days... until then, i'll survive i'm sure!

Carry on the great work, this is now my recommended skin for anyone with a modded xbox or HTPC!!

hi xb2iris


I just have to say I love horizonz, you've really stepped it up... i use it as my main skin now Smile


just wondering whether it would be possible to get an option for more home screen shortcuts (like in Aeon for Adult and Clips)? I ask this because I have modded an old Aeon build to show Foreign films and Documentaries... but I just changed the text after enabling Clips and Adult.

On Horizonz, you don't have those options... is it possible you might be able to add two moddable shortcuts to the homescreen that can be toggled on or off (for people who may/may not have any use for it)? I know when I offered the 'mod' I did, it got about 200 downloads - so I know there's a few people out there who like Documentaries (and also Foreign Films) to show up on their home screens, next to Movies and TV Shows.


Cheers

Jon

Not sure if this is the right answer or the one you are looking for. I have a section called KIDS on the homescreen so I can put all the cartoons and stuff there. What I did was edit the strings.xml (found in the language folder) and changed CLIPS to KIDS.

hahaha... good guess... yeah, i'm in cape town... living it up and all that... hectic, u wanna send me an xbox... lord... eish (there u go)... nyways... unfornately, don't think that kind of effort is neccessary dude... i completely appreciate it though... but i reckon it would be too much of a hassle for u... and 2 tell u the truth, it'd be real hard using one here with the lack on in-expensive broadband in this country... so, rigging a testing system would be a mission until i get some money for extra goodies...

to tell u the truth cranial... the pc i've been editing horizonz on has just died on me... i borrowed it from a mate, it was old and didn't make 5 minutes in XBMC without freezing the system... so, i'm outta editing right now... need a pc... and can't get one until feb, due to me having to replace more important things i lost in the shipping and sorting this expensive move out... i may set up a paypal account for donations soon, so i can get a pc sooner rather than later... i don't know if it's a good idea, but i so badly want to get volume IV out in december instead of feb or later... what u thinkHuh u think anyone would donate money to saving this skin?

dam, sounds bad... u can come hide out at my place in south africa if u wanted... hmmm... nyways... wish i could test osd stuff, but my computer bombed, so i'm lost my friend... wish i had an answer, but a new pc ain't going to show up on my doorstep soon... but i'll get into it as soon as i can!

all aeon's features in that case are similar... i haven't changed a thing about it, just numbers instead of labels now, but i guess i could look into it at a later stage... don't have a pc to do editing on at the moment... so, i'm dead for awhile... but we'll see if it can be done in a future build...

Not a hard guess. Got a lot of friends/family (kind of) in Safa. Hmmm..... Might be able to get a PC to you instead. I'll look into it. And don't worry about the effort, it isn't any. Just people owe me favours I couldn't be bothered travelling to collect. You must be realising what it's like there.... not what you know, but WHO you know Wink

And as for internet connections... I'd need to pull United Nations sized favours to fix that mess!

that sounds great... decided to go ahead with the donation idea, coz having a month off doing nothing because of my lack of hardware will kill me and will most possibly make me lose my momentum horizonz wise... which wouldn't be good... i hope are as willing to help out as you are... Volume IV is going to be a huge update... lots of things needed sorting out and a few things needed changing... managed to do alot before the meltdown happened... and i believe, with an okayish PC, wouldn't take more than a week or so to finish... so, i'll put the save horizonz topic up... can't see me getting back into it february or so... thats a long wait if you ask me... i want a stable Volume V out at that time if you get what i mean... thanks again for the offer and support... and i totally get what you mean about favours and all that... and don't mention the internet connection here... pointless getting one without a PC anyhow... hope some peops are as kind as you... donate to horizonz... sounds funny if you ask me, but i'm that desperate to get this thing to the next level... eish

look a few posts into the past in this thread and look for an update uploaded by chipy .. and i think you'll find what you need


- pletopia - 2008-11-27

just wanted to throw this out there .. i think its a bug that could/should be fixed in V.IV .. as far as i can tell the plot box doesn't scroll if the plot is longer then what can display on the screen

I'm talking about in Info View (which i use) and Episode View (which i don't use but just tested) when you let it idle for a second or two and get that dynamic plot showing


- DrEaD - 2008-11-28

thanks man... as for the backgrounds... maybe at a later stage, as obviously, i'm unable to put a collection together right now... but will see in the future, although I've lost most of the good ones, due to not backing my laptop stuff up... sad sad

not a bug, theres an option in the features section of the aeon settings called "disable plot scrolling"... disable that option...
