light_bar_menu_screens
Iniquity has a feature called LIGHT BAR menu's, these menu's allows you
to configure a screen so that it display's a lightbar selection menu with as
many option's as are in the menu. There are a few steps that you must follow
in order for the screen to work properly.
:::Old Lightbar System
1. Create the menu that you wish to use as the light bar menu, making sure
that you have changed the menu type to 'LightBar'.
2. Load up an ANSI program that allows you to use ANSIMATION, 'TheDRAW' is
a good program to use with this.
3. Draw the layout to the menu, not including the menu option's as they will
be added later. This step is important as it will give your menu the ANSI
screen that will be used for the menu.
4. Once you have completed the layout to the menu, turn on the animation
option.
5. At the position that you want the first menu selection displayed, you must
place a '~01' code in the color that you want the highlighted option to
be displayed in, and then immediately after that code, you must place a
'^01' code in the color that you want the non-highlighted option to be
displayed in.
For example: You have three option's to be displayed in the menu:
1. User Listing.
2. Last Caller's.
3. Quit To Main.
You must create the layout for your screen, and once that is done turn
the animation mode on.
Then Place the three code's into the screen.
~01^01
~02^02
~03^03
Make sure that the above code's are in their respective color's when you
place them on the screen, you do this by changing to the new color before
you place the code on the screen..
The above screen would look like this, they are displayed in their
respective colors.
User Listing.
Last Caller's.
Quit To Main.
:::New Lightbar System
Iniquity now has a new lightbar system that should make the process of
creating lightbar menus a little more simple. It uses the X,Y coordinate
system to place your lightbar strings. Each of these settings is set in
the Menu Editor. You will also no longer need to edit your ansi files
and use ^01 and ~01 codes.
1)- First set the strings iniquity should display.
-Menu editor-
(h) ON AutoMsg menu
(i) OFF AutoMsg menu
2)- Set the X,Y coordinates for the strings.
(x) X POS 10
(y) Y POS 20
3)- Save
thats all there is too it =]
