Want to create a skin?

Postby CoreStyler on Wed Jan 18, 2012 2:44 pm

Hi all! i post this for anyone who love to develops UI.
If you want to develop a skin for Hardcore Kicks VSTi 2 before it will be released you can read the documentation and use the skin test program.
If you want to start, visit the following:
http://www.thecorestylerz.net/downloads ... ation.html

By following the docs will be easy.

I don't want to release 3rd party skins, but if you would like you can contact me in order to add your skin as "bundled" when the plugin come out.
If you want you can sell your skins according to license.

Note that the plugins has not been released yet. :)

I registered however, it appears there is a grace period before my email confirmation arrives. So I will have to wait to download the skin tester. Cheers for the PDF! :)

Hopefully, when I arrive home, the activation confirmation code be in my Email box.

Upon reading the PDF, are the files stored outside the plug-ins module? Similar to what Synthedit offers?

Yes you should locate the files into:
C:\\Users\user\documents\Hardcore Kicks VSTi 2\Skins\[yourskin name].
The path is retrived from the fist line of the skin text. Where you put the skin name, that string (index 0) should be the same of the image folder.
All the images stored in Skins\[skinname]\.. are retrived from the text at correct position.
For example:
Line 7 background.png will became ..\Skins\[skinname]\background.png

What is your username?, if you want i can enable you also to download the beta. So you have a look on the whole stuff.

Ok i enabled you as a beta tester. You can download the beta version of the plug so you can use directly the skin into the VSTi and have the entire directory structure.
Im very happy you are working for skins! :love:
