Paused text
#1
I remember seeing a thread on this forum where someone had a screen shot of there player paused, and the wording PAUSED was displayed on screen in large white lettering (centered) as part of their Alaska theme...

I get the paused text appear on my OSD but not like how that one appeared, would that be a modded version? If so, can anyone assist on what I would need to do to get it appearing?

I have an option for this in BIG Alaska. Otherwise, if you are using Alaska Original, I believe you will need to edit the includes.xml and look for the following block of code (I'm not sure if this applies to Alaska Revisited):
Code:
<include name="Global_HeadingDetailVars2">
        <posy>40</posy>
        <width>800</width>
        <font>Font_Date</font>
        <textcolor>Date</textcolor>
        <align>left</align>
        <include>Animation_CommonFade</include>
    </include>
and try changing it to:
Code:
<include name="Global_HeadingDetailVars2">
        <posy>150</posy>
        <width>1220</width>
        <font>Font_MainMenu</font>
        <textcolor>MainMenu</textcolor>
        <align>center</align>
        <include>Animation_CommonFade</include>
    </include>
Obviously, backup the Includes.xml file first in case that doesn't work.

Yeah you are right this block doesnt exist in the file in the alaska revisited directory...I presume adding the block will break it?

I'm going to figure this out, I don't know XML but I'm trying to learn. This shouldn't be that hard Smile The paused text from the original Alaska is one thing I really miss.

I have modded a few more bits in my DialogSeekbar.xml as you can see using bits from other skins.

Was just there, I watch a lot of shows that aren't super popular so about 60% of mine have nothing there. Oh well looks like I'm going to have to invest some time making my own. I got landscape, banners, posters & TV logo's I've made. Once I do clearart for my shows I don't think there will be any other possible graphics left lol.

I definitely plan to do that, as it stands most of the ones I did are semi ghetto. Good enough for me, but if I'm going to upload them I should at least do my best to make them look as good as I possibly can. I think you gave me a mission for this weekend.
