Short: Easy xxxAMPxxx Skin creation script for ImageFX Author: Zer0-X / o'Moses (zrx.oms@sci.fi) Uploader: Zer0-X / o'Moses (zrx oms sci fi) Type: gfx/ifx Version: 0.9 Requires: ImageFX Architecture: generic SkinCrop - Easy xxxAMPxxx Skin creation script for ImageFX. version 0.9 This script can be used to VERY easily create Skins for all those so famous MPEG-audio players on Amiga, and propably PC WinAMP too... The script will ask you to choose the buffer where the image to be converted is stored and gives you some options to be decided. Before conversion you have the possibility to have your image automatically scaled into the right size. If you don't want it like this, you will get a chance to first crop a part of your image and then scale it to the size Output fileformat can be selected from IFF (8/24bit), JPG or BMP types. All temporary & final images will be saved to the selected path overwriting anything that exists! More information about Skins and how to construct them can be found at: http://www.algonet.se/~daniel7/winamp/skinspecs.html HOW2USE: Just copy the script to ImageFXs Rexx-directory. Then load up any image, execute the script, choose options & wait a bit. (It takes less than a minute even with the full detail for me.) HISTORY: 0.1 31.05.99 - Just had an idea and started this thing out. (It actually seems to be working quite OK.) 0.2 01.06.99 - Some coordinate adjustments to suit better for AmigaAMP. - Cleaning the script (SPEED) & commenting it a bit. - Imagebuffer selector & sizecheck added. - Now copies the titlebar from the main image too. - Some more frames added to the buttons to help to coordinate. - Added destination directory requester & few error handlings. 0.3 02.06.99 - Added some conversion options to create a framed backup of the main image (MAIN_BAK) to help finding the used areas, to set the frame color, to delete the temporary images, to disable the NUMBERS, PLAYPAUS & TEXT images creation & to disable the creation of help frames. - Now resets the drawtool, mode, style & colors to defaults. 0.4 04.06.99 - Added option to create 3D beveled edges ready for the buttons. - Added few more output filetypes to choose from. (The backup of MAIN image is still saved in the IFF-ILBM format for quality.) 0.5 17.06.99 - Fixed the beveling to create a bit more rounded edges. - Added options to create a custom NUMBERS & PLAYPAUS images. - Added one more help frame to the end of NUMBERS that seems to be shown if no songs are loaded when a new skin is loaded. - Added some more look to the POSBAR, VOLUME & PANNING sliders. - Added option to bevel also the MAIN image. 0.6 23.06.99 - Added option to create markings for the play-control buttons. - Changed file VOLBAR to VOLUME as this seems to be the name used more often and works now on TMLG too. - POSBAR, VOLUME & PANNING sliders now use the help frame color. - Fixed a little graphics bug between SHUFFLE & REPEAT buttons. - Changed default options a bit (Hopefully doesn't matter). - Added option to change the amount of beveling. - Added option to create lights for the SHUFREP images. 0.7 05.07.99 - Fixed a little bug in the MONOSTER image (TMLG once more). - Fixed few coordinates to make the skins more compatible with AmigaAMP, AMPlifier, TMLG (and WinAMP if you prefer that). - Added option to create beveled edges for the other visuals. 0.8 09.07.99 - Added Crop & Scale features (well, a sort of like that). - Added 8bit rendering for AGA users, but to get rid of those are you sure requesters the only way seems to be to disable verify from the prefs. - Added 3bit (~8 color) TEXT image I use for testing the script to the archive for "lazy" people disliking the frame cubes. - Added bit more look to the TITLEBAR image for other players. 0.9 20.10.99 - The curse of Assembly '99 came and after a nice tiny HD-crash I finally attempt to re-create SkinCrop v0.9 from what I can remember I had already done to it. - Added the option-buttons that aren't used that much in the Amiga(AMP) MP3-players but more often in WinAMP. - Added option to directly autoscale the picture to right size.
