Compiling and Splash screen Timing question
#1
I've downloaded the SVN Package and I'm using Tortise to download the package. I've made the update to the splash.cpp file for the ull screen, I just need to recompile it back to an exe file, I'm using VC++ on Windows 7 64bit would anyone be able to shed some light on this, How would I recompile? :confused2:

Plus, I don't believe it's in the same file, but if I wanted to extend the appearance of the splash screen image before it goes into the application, does anyone know what file is responsible for those properties?

Thanks.

Where ma programmers at?

Awesome, so I was able to create the executable, (that additional info at the bottom really helped) Smile. Full screen is working now, awesome.

I suppose the last question is "does anyone know which file is responsible for the timing of the splash screen?

Much thanks

I suppose the code is something like "cin.get();" to properly pause the screen, but I'm not sure where to place that in the splash.cpp file, or if another file is responsible for that.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Matt.

why would you want the delay the boot/load time?

most folks want to boot/load as fast as possible

Thanks for the reply,

I have a custom splash screen, and I would like to have to have it on for at least 5 seconds before it goes into the application, that's all.

Jason,

I know I'm not the only one that's interested in this time delay on the boot screen. Not too long ago there were posts regarding Alternate Images other than the default XBMC Logo on the front...

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=66674&page=4

now ask yourself, why would one put work in making an alternate boot screen if you can only see it for one second? We have developers that are able to code this application on the fly, and not one person can offer any assistance in this other than the fact of "why I want to do this?"

I can be the one that's causing a riot on this, but I know once someone has the decency to help another person out, people will be snatching up the code and using it themselves.

Matt.
