As a first, quick, but far from being perfect or even good solution, you can multiply the formulas of the [MeasureMarquee1Offset] - [MeasureMarquee4Offset] measures with a constant numeric value. For instance:

Code: Select all

[MeasureMarquee1Offset]
...
Formula=( 14 * max ( 0, ( [Title:W] - [MeterTextContainer:W] )))
...

[MeasureMarquee2Offset]
...
Formula=( 14 * max ( 0, ( [Artist:W] - [MeterTextContainer:W] )))
...

[MeasureMarquee3Offset]
...
Formula=( 14 * max ( 0, ( [Album:W] - [MeterTextContainer:W] )))
...

[MeasureMarquee4Offset]
...
Formula=( 14 * max ( 0, ( [Year:W] - [MeterTextContainer:W] )))
...
Again I have to furtherly work onto this, this multiplying solution is just a first and rough approach.

Code: Select all

[MeterLoop]
Measure=Loop
StartValue=0
EndValue=([MeterText:W] + 10)
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterContainer]
Meter=Image
...
[MeterText1]
X=[MeterLoop]
...
DynamicVariables=1
Container=MeterContainer

[MeterText2]
X=10R
...
Container=MeterContainer
This can be improvised further, taking in the need and implementation.

I think I somewhatdid it. My idea was to:
  • Make it scroll until it "disappears".
  • Move it in ONE step to the other side whilst being invisible by setting the text's X position equal to MeterTextContainer's width.
  • Make it scroll again, but until it reaches back to X=0.
  • Pause for #marqueeBeginWait# seconds.
  • Loop again.
Modified the following parts:

Code: Select all

...
[MeasureMarquee1_Offset]
Measure=Calc
Formula=( max( 0, ( [MeterTextContainer:W] - [Title:X] )))
DynamicVariables=1
...
; Marquee 1
ActionList1=Repeat Move1,#animationSpeed#,[MeasureMarquee1Offset:] | Repeat HMove1,#animationSpeed#,1 | Repeat Move1,#animationSpeed#,[MeasureMarquee1_Offset:] | Reset1 | Wait #marqueeBeginWait# | DoOver1
Reset1=[!SetVariable marquee1 0][!UpdateMeasure MeasureActionTimer][!UpdateMeter Title][!Redraw]
Move1=[!SetVariable marquee1 "(#marquee1# - 1)"][!UpdateMeasure MeasureActionTimer][!UpdateMeter Title][!Redraw]
HMove1=[!SetVariable marquee1 "[MeterTextContainer:W]"][!UpdateMeasure MeasureActionTimer][!UpdateMeter Title][!Redraw]
DoOver1=[!CommandMeasure MeasureActionTimer "Execute 1"]
...
And...
[Youtube]https://youtu.be/y_sdk1cSKmg[/Youtube]

Some issues however are:
  • it pauses for some reason (prob. the code broke)
  • it sometimes goes offset at start
  • causes other skins to freeze
anyways, i thought i would share something that might help find a solution. :D

Even if this is an off-topic, there is a small mistake in this code, I believe. More precisely in the EndValue=([MeterText:W] + 10) option of the [MeterLoop] measure. First it is quite confusing to have a measure named as meter ([MeterLoop]). But this is just a small detail. The biggest problem is that a [MeterText] meter doesn't exist. There is a [MeterText1] as well as [MeterText2], but no [MeterText].

First, post please a complete code of your skin, because this topic is quite old, has more then one and half a year. I don't have the code of the skin and even if I'd have it, you probably have modified it, so please post it.

Ahh yes, I added the 1 later to MeterText. Thanks for pointing out.

I will post a complete example if he needs. But I think he has found a way. But yes, I will update it.
