Converting legacy send message to new style

[Mastiff]

Is this possible in any other way than manually? I have a ton of send message, much of it in Zoom Player, and I would really like to save myself a few hours...

[birty]

you could define a new global function send message like this:


function SendMessage(param1,param2,param3,param4)
win.SendMessage(param1,param2,param3,param4);
end;

and set the script to run when girder starts

[Mastiff]

But will that work on the old send message plug-in? That's just for Lua-sendmessages, right? Those I have covered with search/replace. I should have mentioned that I was talking about the old plug-in.

[birty]

nope, i think you may have to do those manually

[Mastiff]

That's what I feared... Anybody here with a G4 GML for Zoom Player? :roll:

[Rob H]

Well, I just imported the old zplayer.gml and it seems to work okay in G4 - you just can't edit anything.

[Mastiff]

Aha. OK. I just saw the empty spaces and thought that it wouldn't work. Thanks!

[Ron]

indeed, legacy support is provided there.

[Rob H]

It would be helpful if it provided details of the old parameters rather than just a blank page.

[Mastiff]

Or even better: The ability to modify them.

[Ron]

The way the old parameter is stored does not jive with the new DUI system, I can display it but that is about it.

unzip sendmessage.xml and drop it in [girder]\plugins\UI
