With the config you gave me the WMP is working perfect, it opens and close with the cursor, I don't know what you mean when you say "this solution is completely useless for WMP in Win 10". I'm actually using WMP skins working perfectly in Win 10, and this skin I'm creating already has some animations that are activated only when the music is playing, but for one reason the last method you gave me is doing nothing with Gate sprite, I tried to combine the code with the other animations I already have, but neither worked... After we got here it would be a shame not to be able to complete it, I would like to show you what I'm doing, is a remake of an old WMP mask... It's more like a tribute to a WMP mask I wore in Win XP, I redesigned the whole stage and modified some things and I must say it looks beautiful, I would like to show it to you.

Re: Help
Hey Balala I made it work this way:
But now the problem is that, when I hover over it and remove it, the door closes even when the music plays, and it opens again when it moves to the next song. Will there be any variant to prevent that? I fell like we almost there...

Re: Help
Don't know what a sprite is, especially that the attached picture is not available.
There are two different Media Player apps in Windows 10 (and same for Windows 11). The first is the one similar with the Windows Media Player present in earlier Windows (for instance in Windows XP or Windows 7), but there is another one as well, a new app introduced in Windows 10 (or maybe in Windows 8 - I'm not sure about this, but for sure didn't exist in Windows 7 and earlier versions, as far as I can remember). The NowPlaying measures will work with the old Windows Media Player (no matter of the Windows in which you're using it, so works even in Windows 10), but doesn't with the new app. This is what I meant.
What last method does mean? Can't follow.
For sure some details are needed, because to be honest I don't really follow you. Especially that I don't know what sprite does mean, don1t have the codes and so on. So, please come back with details.
It's hard to say something meaningful, because I'd need the used bitmap as well as a complete description of what you'd like. Sorry, but as said more times before, I can't follow what exactly you'd like to get.
So do please the followings:
- Pack the whole config you have and upload the package here.
- Give a detailed description of what you want to do.
- As said before, you're using lot of deprecated codes: the !Execute bang is still deprecated, you shouldn't use it (you've used it in the IfAboveAction and the IfBelowAction options of the [StateButton] measure).
- NowPlaying has ended long time ago to be a plugin. It has been converted to an internal measure and you should treat it accordingly (even if the plugin approach, for backward compatibility reasons is still working). So replace the Measure=Plugin and Plugin=NowPlaying.dll option pairs of the [mPlayer] and [StateButton] measures by the only Measure=NowPlaying option.

Re: Help
With this method you gave me, the hover is working perfect with the sprite:
Is a gate that opens and closes when I hover the cursor. This is great.
Code: Select all
[MeasureAnim]
Measure=Calc
Formula=( Clamp (( MeasureAnim + #Step# ), 0, 13 ))
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#=0)
IfTrueAction=[!DisableMeasure "MeasureAnim"]
DynamicVariables=1
Disabled=1
[MeterAnimOpen]
MouseOverAction=[!SetVariable Step "1"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureAnim"][!EnableMeasure "MeasureAnim"]
MouseLeaveAction=[!SetVariable Step "-1"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureAnim"][!EnableMeasure "MeasureAnim"]

Re: Help
But now I need that the gate do the same thing when the music plays and when it stop, but this method is not working:
I mean, doesn't open and close with music, all it does is the first sprite image appears and disappears, and I want it to do the same thing it does with the cursor.
Code: Select all
[MeasurePlayer]
Measure=NowPlaying
PlayerName=WMP
PlayerType=State
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#=1)
IfTrueAction=[!ActivateConfig "Gate" "Gate.ini"]
IfFalseAction=[!ActivateConfig "Gate"]

Re: Help
The NowPlaying approach (the one written in the [StateButton] measure) plays forward the animation when the player is playing or is paused (only once, so is not playing the animation when the player plays and you pause it, for instance) and backward when you stop the player.
Details still needed. What I understood is the following: you want to open the door when you start the playback and close it when you stop the playback and don't you want to let it to react to mouse hovering in such a case. When the player is stopped, you want to open the door when you're hovering the mouse over it and want to close it when you're leaving it.
Is this correct? If it's not, let me know what you'd like to do in a different way.
