SBox: Hide status bar?

[Thema]

The wonderfully tailored thing for compiling this stuff is the batch file included in the plugin download. Along with the Java Development kit from Sun.

Nevertheless I will take time to do the mods on the morrow.
I'd do it now, but I'm slaughtered after a night with the family and booze.

Hey, no worries ^_^ I'd do it myself but I'm on Linux and haven't really bothered to learn to compile this sort of Java add-on before. If you have that knowledge and would like to point me in the right direction I'd be glad to help out with further modding.

[Thema]

The best place to go looking is in the PDK forums where I have bled out all my problems during the first VERY steep learning curve days of PJirc modding.

In there you will find examples of many ways to compile the code. I can't see that Linux would be any different to Windows really since it's mostly script based, and the commands in my batch file would translate pretty well to Bash.
The only problem is where Sun drops the JDK. To date I still don't know.
Also there are sooo many tools for Java development in Linux.
You would probably have to drop MS support, but them who cares right?

Okay:

Mods completed. Take a look at the announcement topic in this forum, or check out the downloads.

Still no scroll bar I'm afraid. That will have to wait a little longer, but it is high on the todo list.

Thank you so much Thema, I appreciate your work, it's really what keeps PJIRC going strong. I will dig through your PDK forums and see what I can add to my skillset

Edit: WHOOPS

Your code reads:

Code: Select all

config.set("prefixsopfg",getInt("prefixsopfg",4));      // Added by Thema for Syzop.
    config.set("prefixpopfg",getInt("prefixpopfg",4));      // Added by Thema for Syzop.
    config.set("prefixopfg",getInt("prefixopfg",4));      // Added by Thema for Syzop.
    config.set("prefixhopfg",getInt("prefixhopfg",4));      // Added by Thema for Syzop.
    config.set("prefixvopfg",getInt("prefixvopfg",4));      // Added by Thema for Syzop.
   config.set("prefixsopbg",getInt("prefixsopbg",0));      // Added by Thema for Syzop.
    config.set("prefixopbg",getInt("prefixopbg",0));      // Added by Thema for Syzop.
    config.set("prefixhopbg",getInt("prefixhopbg",0));      // Added by Thema for Syzop.
    config.set("prefixvopbg",getInt("prefixvopbg",0));      // Added by Thema for Syzop.


As you can see, 5 fg options but only 4 bg options... you took out prefixpopbg by accident

Symptom: you can't see when & people talk AT ALL, like not even a blank line... icky.

[Thema]

Hehe
Not enough sleep you see.

Just shows how we can all be stupid when we try really hard

Well spotted & thanks. It's fixed now so you can go and re-download version 3.1b bugfix.

Oh, great... such funny timing

I pulled out an old IBM Thinkpad T40 with Windows XP on it, found this:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html

And this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310618

And figured out how to compile the code now. So, I made my own edits and such and have it all working myself

However, I have mine so that just the prefix symbol is colored, not the whole nick, and I did away with all the extra custom colors as I have no need for that. One bg and fg settings is enough for me. I also edited the sbox mod to have the equivalent prefix mod on it, matching the style and needs of the pixx mod. I couldn't have done any of this without you Thema, thanks

Here are the files I compiled
Prefixed-PIXX
Prefixed-SBox

Normally you could post them to the downloads section but unfortunately uploads are broken yet again as I said.

I can host them for you if you wish until uploads are fixed but you must include your sources so that others can benefit from them. As you can see I usually only include the java files that have been edited thus cutting down on the size of the download, and making it easier to see where the changes are.

I will be glad to write out a small tutorial explaining how I got the ability to compile up and running some time tomorrow when I'm not about to pass-out from being tired

Here's the source for now:

I'll neaten it all up tomorrow.

Once you've had that sleep an edited readme and demo page would be nice

Here's the complete sbox update, with not only prefixed nicks but also the ability to position the taskbar to the bottom, top, left, or right:
Sbox v3.2b

Here's the complete pixx update:
Prefix-Pixx v3.2b

Both are complete with edited batch files to fix the slash mistake.

Thanks for your patience while I procrastinated on putting these together

Any news on the scrollbar? I'm scratching my head on it too, but have yet to find a solution. The solution must be buried in:
SboxScrollBar.java
SboxScrollBarListener.java
SboxVerticalScrollBar.java

Yet that's really not helping much...

[Thema]

Wow I have met my master
Well done, and so quick too.

Both are complete with edited batch files to fix the slash mistake.

Yeah that dreaded Linux Windblows thing. You can always tell by that a person that uses both operating systems.
Now which way does that path slash go today???


I agree on your thoughts re: the scrollbar. I have tried to use those classes as the basis for the taskbar scollbar, but I always trip up on it. I seem to recall that the classes are not as generic as their names suggest, and knowing what to remove and what to add is not simple.

I have managed to catch up on a few things so I will try to look at it again tonight. However I rather think that your quick mind may well beat me to it!

[antiaverage]

Another super-bump by me.

How goes the scrollbar quest? I haven't touched it either, so I wouldn't be terribly surprised if you haven't.

[Thema]

Sadly no I haven't. Or at least I haven't been succesful.

I will see if I can find some time for it this week as time often distills the knowledge making easier that which was once too hard.
