2 Fritz,

Here I go.

1. Suppose i've been helped by a forum member in creating driver package. Credits should go like this :

Driver Compression : XXXXXXXXXXX or,

Driver Compression

XXXXXXXXXXX

Controls like these should be in html.txt

remember, credits should go not by just member name, but alongwith in which category his help came from.

2. You used XPize's Hacked Royale Wallpaper. Very nice. But i'll prefer a mere black background. As a color, black has some sort of serendipity, some sort of inevitability attached to it. Black always forecast that end is waiting in the wings.

I'm saying this because you put the selection of background automatic by packaging it inside the EXE. Better to leave the choice into the TXT file.

Anyway, Very Nice. Hope to see some Add-Ons quickly.

I had a few brief tests with using the text file to affect which background is loaded, i'll try again anyway.

If the credits would be simple like "driver compression:.............." and such then i can probably make some nice transitions

Can you think of what the other headings would be? Then I'll have a go tonight.

Thanks

Matt

News:

Working on your suggestions I've updated the strings file so you can select the background colour as a 6 digit hex code as well as changing the titles to be more suitable.

I'll release summit tomorrow night.

Things to do:

-allow custom image support (think i've got this one covered)

-allow custom font size and style (WIP)

-make up time

New version

-custom background colour

-custom text colour

-custom font size

-custom jpg

Inside the zip you will find the strings.txt file which looks like this

&colorbg=000000&textColor=FFFFFF&fontSize=40&string_credtitle=Credits&strin
g_title1=Driver Compression:&string_text1=Master Driver Compressors&string_title2=Service Pack
Slipstreaming:&string_text2=Nlite&string_title3=Application
Deployment&string_text3=Windows Post Installer&string_title4=Misc. Thanks 
to:&string_text4=MSFN krew, Freestyle Assassin&string_title5=Another 
title:&string_text5=Horray!&string_title6=Yet Another 
title:&string_text6=Insert text&string_title7=Some more 
stuff:&string_text7=Insert text

The variables you can change are between "&" eg. if you want to change the colour of the background find the 6 digit hex code (after #) and paste it after the = sign.

&colorbg=00FF00

like so.

For fontsize just play about with numbers, after a while text will become cut off, so experiment

At the moment only a 256x256 picture will be centered sadly, just replace the jpeg with your own.

http://dc1.4shared.com/file/67569/88e6fc34/credits2.html

Suggestions please

Still to go:

-better image support

-custom font face support

-and other ideas

just one suggestion...i opened the strings.txt file and noticed it is one continuous line...can this be changed to maybe one item per line? Also, maybe support for background music :) just a small 50sec mp3 file maybe, since Im assuming this is still to run during shutdown.exe. Also, I liked your previous background...maybe having either a color or a image as the background would be nice?

@evilvoice

Unfortunately the strings.txt has to be one line, otherwise flash completely messes up the colours.

I can do the background music thing quite easily, so that will be seen to.

I will also see what I can do about the picture. I hope to be able to give an option in the strings file whether to use the picture.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll get back to work

@ Fritz,

Incredible Improvement from the last version. Here're a few questions:

1. What's the purpose of putting image.jpg inside the ZIP? I mean, if you

pack it's choice inside the EXE, then there's no chance implementator getting to put his own .jpg. Pls, ensure selection from the strings.txt as this'll allow the user to use relative path for the image file. That's true, of course, if you change the technique to use the image.

2. Very nice font, text and context, you used. but i wish that you improve the TXT file in order to include different font size support for

string_title and string_text seperately.

3. Why theImage.jpg is applied in the end? What idea came to your mind? pls, elaborate.

finally, i appreciate how you've progrssed so far. Remember, as a Starter of this Topic, i already recieved a lot of flak for such a "silly" idea. What is "silly" for them is "holy" for me. I request you to pursue this project to achieve an end product that'll be loved and embraced by those people particularly, who found it sillyand a stuff for kidz.

Hey again MOONLIGHT SONATA,

hehe, about image.jpg...

Basically my idea was that you could put your own logo there or something similar. I put it as an example as well. Its existence in the zip is just so you can replace it, and the idea about defining the path in strings.txt is good too. I will definately implement that

Also I will make the string_title and string_text have different font strings.

I will do my best to turn out some kind of final product, just keep up the comments :thumbup

Thanks for the comments :)

I've coded music support in now anyway, and a little dynamic fade on the end. I could even make a random track play.

The image is merely an example, but if you like the theme I can try making another, he does look like a clown though.

If anybody doesn't like music, they can just put useMusic to 0

well I changed the image to one of my own and there was a loss of quality in

the test I ran but when in use during an install not bad.............it was 300x300

and I changed to 256x256 that shouldn't be a problem right?
