Version 0.4 ne fonctionne pas avec Skin Choup_8_3_5_3.zip de 320x240 vers 480x272
freez sur "scripts" \ui igo8\320 240\ui navigatmep .
Peut être une erreur dans ce script
plus que dans skin wizard.
Dommage !!

@Specter: See the ppcwarez topic, that has a history and a changelog. There were a couple of bugs that I fixed. What specific problems are you having with transparency?
@others: Unfortunately I need specific examples, screenshots, bad converted lines, etc to fix things.

It keeps freezing with Gurjon 5.4 Shin, on all browsemap.ui, place.ui, and settings.ui files, when you try and convert to new size.

Are you able to get this to convert the older igo skins, like igo 2006, and Mio skins, you would make a ton of people happy.

Thanks

@lionedas: The Gurjon skin has several syntax "errors" that iGoSkinWizard now signals, but does not fix or convert.

@Specter: The transparency issue has been fixed, so if you used iGoSkinWizard for the 800x480 version of diMka, convert again.

Specter said...

That is great news. I will convert it again.

You may want to add an option to conver the bmps in the common folder. it will help for people wanting 640x480 or 800x480 versions of 320x240 skins. that would be a huge help.

New version coming up. No need to convert, just let iGo upscale them using the ui scripts. If the skin creators want to upscale the bitmaps, they really should be moving them to the resolution folders. I might think of an option to do that automatically, if requested, but I think the designers should decide that themselves.

Also... any chance you could host iGoSkinWizard like you host diMka?

Version 0.7 ChangeLog:
- "resizing" of bitmaps in "common" folder using "w=[width]" setting in .ui scripts: if skin authors want to resize the bitmaps, they should copy them to each resolution directory and change the scripts accordingly - it's a designer's decision that I may support/automate if asked, but don't think it's a priority
- support for .ini files conversion (laneinfo_signpost)
- you can now define your bitmap (i.e., Photoshop) and script (I recommend http://www.wolosoft.com/en/superedi/) editor, and even compare the before/after scripts using http://winmerge.org/downloads/
- various GUI and bug fixes

The first two new features above are experimental, please post feedback.

Specter said...

You should comment out these lines in the rules.ini

;SETCARPOSITION |ifnumber:scaleX|ifnumber:scaleY
;CENTERCURSOR |ifnumber:scaleX|ifnumber:scaleY

those values are percentages and don't need to be changed. chaging them will cause the car position to be off of the screen.

Unfortunately you have to resize the bmps in the common directory if you are changing a skin so that you won't have to use the highres="1" in your sys.txt file. Otherwise the bmps are all too small. igo8 will not scale them up.

I can host it on my web site. I will start to put something together very soon.

the transparency works now. I did have a problem though when I converted the stuff in the common folder. it turned the background pink on most of them. not sure what I did differently.

It is coming along very nicely. It is very helpful for making 800x480. I wouldn't have done it without this program.
