(non-denominational-) santa brought you all a nice pressy!

[JdGordon]

hey folks.
I got a pressy for the rockbox crowd!

http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9710  <<- tracker task ,   example->> http://imagebin.ca/view/8i4Iy7.html

what this does is let you display a number in a font other than the 2 available fonts in the WPS, comments in the tracker please... examples would be nice in here though
let me know if you need me to do a build for you if you cant roll your own.

oh and happy holidays and new year to all

Nice... thanks! I'd like to use it in my arboxWidgets theme... it might look really cool in the calendar and the clock widgets... so would it work with the %cd, %ci and %cm tags? And If so... I'd really appreciate the iPod video 80GB patched build

[JdGordon]

I'm changing the patch now to make it work with more tags, but those 3 shouldn't have a problem.
my next version will let you add a few custom chars to the end of the bmp strip (only 7 though) to make things like a full clock look better..
80GB 5.5g build coming up when its working

[JdGordon]

ok seems I'm having trouble getting to rb.org :/

http://jdgordon.info/~jonno/rockbox-video.zip is svn with this patch

The new version adds 2 params to the %xn line...
format: %dn|n|m|x|y|abc
        where:
            n is the bmp strip number/letter to use.
            m is the max number of chars to draw (Always drawn right justified)
            x is the x pixel to start drawing at (viewport relative)
            y is the y pixel to start drawing at (viewport relative)
            abc is up to 7 extra chars in the order they appear at the end of the bmp strip

the m one was added because if you used this with volume when it goes from 3 to 2 chars it didnt get cleared properly...
abc can be any 7 letters/chars that you want to display (except | but that can be fixed later). Add them at the end of the bmp strip in the same order (so if you add "-:" then your strip should be "0123456789-:" (going down of course)

[audio-i]

OK, I've been trying to make it work but I must be doing something wrong. I'm using the ipod video build you posted (thanks for that!), I arranged the numbers' images from 0 to 9 in a bitmapstrip, but I've got something wrong in the tags syntax I guess (wps reverting to the "peak meter default"), maybe I'm not getting the new parameters you introduced (that are not in your wps example). The image below shows what I'd like to achieve (flipclock-like numbers) using tags %cI and %cM... thanks in advance for the help

[JdGordon]

post your .wps and ill have a look

[audio-i]

ok

Code: [Select]

#Clock
%xl|c|clock_numbers.bmp|0|0|
%V|265|141|33|13|0|-|-|
%dn|c|2|0|0|%cI
%dn|c|2|17|0|%cM

where clock_numbers.bmp has the number images from 0 to 9 (just in case here's the whole .zip including the calendar numbers case and everything else http://www.

[JdGordon]

the tag is %xn... also you need to add an extra | at the end of them before the %c tag

[audio-i]

  I thought you'd changed the %xn since you wrote

format: %dn|n|m|x|y|abc
        where:
            n is the bmp strip number/letter to use.
            m is the max number of chars to draw (Always drawn right justified)
            x is the x pixel to start drawing at (viewport relative)
            y is the y pixel to start drawing at (viewport relative)
            abc is up to 7 extra chars in the order they appear at the end of the bmp strip

(there's %dn on the tracker too)

when I tried %xn before, I got a data abort error, and that still happens even with the extra |.

Am I doing wrong what you meant?:

Code: [Select]

#Clock
%xl|c|clock_numbers.bmp|0|0|
%V|265|141|33|13|0|-|-|
%xn|c|2|0|0||%cI
%xn|c|2|17|0||%cM
#%V|278|160|20|7|0|76b4b5|EEE9E9|
#%ar%cP
#
#Calendar
%xl|D|days.bmp|0|0|6|
%V|262|187|40|12|1|000000|FFFFFF|
%?cu<|%xdDa|%xdDb|%xdDc|%xdDd|%xdDe|%xdDf>
%xl|k|cal_numbers.bmp|0|0|
%V|266|202|32|20|0|-|-|
%xn|k|2|0|0||%cd

(I also tried %xn|k|2|0|0|%cd|... I'm lost here)

[blackthunder]

Code: [Select]

%xl|c|clock_numbers.bmp|0|0|

don't you need to tell it the number of strips there?

[JdGordon]

%xn|k|2|0|0||%cd looks ok... i'm not sure

[audio-i]

Could it be the patched build I downloaded? When I use the %xn, no matter what comes after that, I get "data abort at 00010154 (0)" 

[JdGordon]

oh your still using the old build... redownload it... just updated

[audio-i]

Thanks for the update... I get the same data abort crash with this one too, though...

[blackthunder]

as I stated you are not defining the number of images for the clock_numbers.bmp.

it should be:
%xl|c|clock_numbers.bmp|0|0|[insert number of images]|
