  1. I'd personally recommend you just use lvllord's patch which takes care of all it automatically.

    www.lvllord.de

    so i downloaded the file (EvID4226Patch212-en.zip), and i tried to run it like so:

    %cdrom%\\Tweaks\\EvID4226Patch.exe /L=100

    However, I get a cmd window asking if I really want to do it.

    is there a way to run it silently?

    (also, the "/L=100" switch supposedly makes the max # to 100 instead of the 50 by default)

    I attached the screenshot.

    the reason i'm doing it this way is because i THINK (?) that if i simply replace the file in 1386, that won't work because i am installing RyanVM Update 1.04.

    what should i do?

  2. Does anyone else call WPI from cmdlines.txt?

    I'm pretty sure this is how to do it, and it allows running WPI off the CD too!

    [COMMANDS]

    "REGEDIT /S ..\Tweaks\RegTweaks.reg"

    "..\WPI\WPI.cmd"

    cmdow @ /HID

    @ECHO OFF

    for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i:

    regedit /S wpi.reg

    SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

    REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\WPI\WPI.hta" /f

    EXIT

  3. so you do not have a mouse wheel to scroll, is see. well the probs with the debug mode have been solved by a new css delivered with current/future wpi.

    ok, i guess i'll check that out when the next version is released. By the way, is 3.3.2 stable? all the stuff we've been talking about is 'petty' appearance stuff. is the coding stable enogh to be burned to cd?

    mo-margin or no-margin ... it's all the same. there are undefined properties. they'd only have effect, if I removed that no- / mo-. I should've deleted them completely, but forgot about that.

    ha, i didn't realize. :)

    bad to hear that, since you could've been the one to tell me if font-installation worked or not (and especially, help me find the problem)

    i can still help you. ill just select your theme, still no font anyway. what next?

  4. the 2 fixes you posted above work perfectly.

    theme switcher now works.

    however, there is still no scroll / auto-scroll in the debug menu, so i cannot see anything past "Winheight", so I can't check about the font.

    [edit] i managed to fix the scroll thing. (i changed the CLASS of debug to "txt" instead of "debug") however, there is nothing even mention (even on debug level 5) about the font...

    [edit 2] also, i think there is an error in your .css file in the vaio theme - under ".txt", it said "mo-margin"...i think its supposed to be "no-margin" ?? Or are you going for a gangsta "mo money mo problems" kinda thing? ;)

    [edit 3] ok, i edited my theme's css file more completely, and now i removed all references to your font. :)

    also, is there any way to control the tooltip settings from the theme folder (as opposed to the ".js" file??)

    Updated Screenshot:

    th_bd315_a06.jpg

  5. also, the debug doesn't show a scrollbar in the viao theme mode. so i cannot see anything about the font.

    ps - i AM able to switch between default and viao themes. it's when i try to install my own theme (adding my "a06" folder in "themes" with all the viao theme files, except a different background.jpg) that it doesn't work. it selects it just fine, but it doesn't apply the replaced bg. am i doing something wrong? how exactly does one go about 'creating' a theme?

    [edit] all these errors still apply on version 3.3.1 downloaded 01-05-05 @ 11:30 EST

    [edit 2] further evaluation: i probably don't know how to correctly apply a theme. i looked at the code for wpi.htm in the "viao" theme folder, which i simply copied to my "a06" folder, and i see lots of refs to the "viao" folder, so I am probably making a mistake by simply copying and pasting the theme files. i will await a better tutorial on how to make a theme.

    however, this still doesn't fix the font problem, nor the debug problem...

    [edit 3] :sigh: also, the debug words are in white, which is extremely hard to read against the viao theme. maybe make the debug text the same settings as the theme itself?

    lots of bugs here.. :whistle:

  6. As to the problem with selecting the theme - it works on my comp, whatever I do. Dumb question: did you save the changes in options wizard? - BTW my vaio theme doesn't use the background-picture value from the options wizard.
    I created a new folder in themes called 'a06', and edited useroptions.js to the folder name: a06.

    That didn't work, so I tried seleting it from the options menu. Still, the viao theme was used (even after 'saving' and reopening).

    As for the bg pic, what I was trying to say is that the only way I was able to change the bg pic while using themes (and not use your viao bg pic) was to go into the viao theme folder, and manually replace the background.jpg with my own.

    Another question: I see another font than the one I supplied with the theme. Didn't it get installed, or did you change the css ? It should've been installed on opening WPI with the vaio theme.

    Please specify which font you mean. if it's the font of "a.06", that is correct, because I did that myself. If it's something else, then I guess there is a problem. which text are you referring to?

    [edit] after re-looking, i assume you are talking about the text of "being install" "select all" etc.

    You are correct, and I do not know why the font isnt working. I did not change the css file.

  7. Someone asked me to publish the psd-soucres for the vaio.theme. download them here. Takes its time (approx. 2 MB). And it's only these 2 files I use - the other gifs are already included in the WPI download.

    that would be me. thanks, hasi!

    So here is my modified version of yours. :P

    th_20f09_screenshot.jpg

    I should point out a few errors I found with v3.3.0:

    - Selecting themes doesn't work. The VIAO theme is always displayed. The only way to change it is to change the actual files (I replaced background.jpg for this screenshot)

    - For some reason part of the programs (bottom line) are cut off. [see under Graphics, it's only one program, and under Tweaks, the second program.] The only way around this is to enable the scroll bar. But I don't want a scroll bar - why cant the whole screen just move up a little? If they ar egetting cut off, shouldn't they move to the next line?

    PS- I still think VIAO's are overpriced. Nice to know what it stands for, though. I'm still a Toshiba guy through-and-through.

  8. isn't that exactly what i hv? hehehehhe

    it looks the same. u just rename runonceEX.cmd to wpi.cmd

    LOL, pretty much the same.

    I posted mine for a few reasons:

    - I've tested mine and it works (you didn't mention that in yours, so i thought, just in case, i'd post mine)

    - mine checks EVERY drive for the cd, and it does it in one single line

    - wpi.cmd is easier to understand than runonceex.cmd for the purposes of this board.

    :P

  9. I was so glad when I gor rid of that **** .cmd file - and now there's a .cmd and a .reg file. :(

    I don't know...

    Maybe you should just include the cmd and reg files.

    I always used a cmd file anyway (to call WPI to run from the CD), so maybe the cmd isnt SO bad after all. If it solves the problem, then I'm fine with it. If there was a better way to solve it without the cmd, sure. But this isn't the worst case - it's better than having the bug!!

    So now, let me see if I understand the current method:

    CMD is called:

    ...|-- calls a .REG file: puts ffffffff (which fixes the problem, as per Astalavista)

    ...|-- calls WPI.hta

    ...........|-- Looks in registry:

    .......................|-- IF value is already there (from above .reg file, for example), NOTHING is done.

    .......................|-- IF no value is there (because no reg file was called), WPI adds 7fffffff (not as large as ffffffff ; but largest possible value when working with javascript.)

    ...........|-- Installs selected programs

    ...........|-- Deletes value from .reg (no matter if it is the ffffffff put there manually from reg file, or if it is the 7fffffff put there by WPI - in either case, it is deleted)

    is this correct?

  10. here's mine (real-world tested and working):

    [COMMANDS]

    "..\WPI\WPI.cmd"

    cmdow @ /HID

    @ECHO OFF

    for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i:

    SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

    REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\WPI\WPI.hta" /f

    EXIT

    If you use this exact code, without modifying the cmdlines.txt path, then make sure your WPI folder is at the ROOT of the CD (along with the i386 folder). Also, the WPI.cmd is in the WPI folder (along with WPI.hta). :)
