Topic: Scratchwave code problem, but nothing in wiki

Dieses Thema ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten.

I'm having an issue with drawing scratchwaves. The wave itself is showing and working fine, but I can't get the overlay/background marker to show.

I've drawn a thin white line in the PNG and specified size/width/position/background but nothing shows. Instead I'm getting inverted coloured triangles (cue markers).

What gives?

How thin ?

If you don't have a 1920x1080 screen, and your line is 1px width, then mostly you won't ever see it.

It's 2 pixels wide and 68 high. I used your skin as an example and made my line the same transparency.

The skin itself is 1280x800 but no matter what size I make it on the screen (my screen is HD) there's no line.



Where are these cue triangles coming from? The scratchwaves on your skin don't have them.

Ah, I notice that yours are hidden (black) on the horizontal wave.

Dunno, I think it's hardcoded, but I may be wrong...

<dropzone chan="1">
<size width="370" height="68"></size>
<pos x="59" y="255"></pos>
</dropzone>

<dropzone chan="2">
<size width="370" height="68"></size>
<pos x="850" y="255"></pos>
</dropzone>

<scratchwave chan="1" orientation="horizontal">
<pos x="59" y="255"/>
<size width="370" height="68"/>
<overlay>
<size width="2" height="68"/>
<pos x="+185" y="+0"/>
<background x="13" y="1639"/> white line
</overlay>
</scratchwave>

<scratchwave chan="2" orientation="horizontal">
<pos x="850" y="255"/>
<size width="370" height="68"/>
<overlay>
<size width="2" height="68"/>
<pos x="+185" y="+0"/>
<background x="13" y="1939"/> white line
</overlay>
</scratchwave>

I included the dropzones too because it's the same area - not that it matters, but....

Also I notice in scratchwave code the use of center="+100" or similar. Center of what?

I would advice to :
- make sure you saved the png, AND added it to zip (I very often make one of those two mistakes)
- try to give an absolute pos to your <overlay/>

Otherwise I don't see any flaw... Stills, maybe you should replace chan="1" with deck="left".

AFAIK, this doesn't work with scratchwaves, but only with rhythmzones. The purpose is to set a "not straight-middle centered" ear-line. For instance, see in my skin in the waveview menu one of the 'per deck' waves, the ear-line is decayed to the left it is not centered.

Panic over - I fixed it.

I'd typed in the wrong number for the position of the line :-)

It was 1369 and not 1639 or 1939 (see code above). Too much skinning in one day!

Lol, glad you sorted it out :)

Cue markers (triangles) for horizontal scratchwaves are indeed hardcoded for now.
