Title: Skins: How to include previews?
Post by: LigH on June 08, 2011, 08:56:57 am: How have preview pictures to be included in skins so that pslaunch will display them? Which filename and dimensions are expected?

Currently not even the default "elves" skin has a preview, instead, pslaunch prints in huge yellow letters:

Preview Not
Available

Post by: Lusserall on June 08, 2011, 04:35:53 pm: The huge yellow letters is a image called "bbg.png"
It,s inside "planeshift/art/pslaunch.zip"

and get shown by the imagelist.xml in that same .zip on line 120
Code: [Select]
<image file="/paws/launcher/bbg.png" resource="Blue Background" />
So don,t think it,s possible at the moment to ad a preview image to skin.zip

Post by: LigH on June 08, 2011, 05:29:52 pm: Well, I assumed that someone programmed a logic into pslaunch like:

If the skin does not contain a preview image, display resource "Blue Background" instead.

Someone with experience in its C++ sources might find it. Or not.

Maybe it is just that ... include a modified "bbg.png"?

Post by: Lusserall on June 08, 2011, 06:03:17 pm: Tryed adding bbg.png to my skin it did not work also added
Code: [Select]
<image file="/paws/real_skin/bbg.png" resource="Blue Background" />to imagelist.xml in my skin.zip did not help either.

In skin.zip imagelist.xml there is already a resource="Blue Background" on line 182 it does not get shown either
Code: [Select]
<image file="/paws/real_skin/components01.png" resource="Blue Background" tiled="true" > <texturerect x="240" y="180" width="64" height="64" /> <alpha level="0" /> </image>
The following sourecode has the word preview in it i,m just not skilled enough to figure it out ???

still no luck getting a preview image.

Neeno managed to get this to work, as included in BoniSkins.2.6. He put the bbg.png in a preview subdir and added to the imagelist

Code: [Select]
 <image file="/paws/real_skin/preview/bbg.png" resource="Examine Background" /> <image file="/paws/real_skin/preview/title.png" resource="Blue Title" />
