Zugg Software :: View topic - zMUDamp (Expanded Winamp control from zMUD)

Update: I've moved past version 1.2. The most current version (3.0) can be found at http://www.artitumis.com/zmudamp.html

I took great interest in the thread about controlling Winamp from zMUD and ended up with zMUDamp! The thread that inspired this is http://www.zuggsoft.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15446 Here are the requirements for zMUDamp v1.2

zMUD v7.x (tested on 7.05)
Winamp with WinampCOM plugin

Now for the script. I suggest you copy and paste one class at a time. Mine was a little picky.

(Code removed for old version. Check out the zMUDamp homepage given above!)

There are your buttons. I also added a fifth button but when I imported it, zMUD freaked. Manually adding it seemed to work. Just make another button and for the caption, throw in (Code removed for old version).
That will give you the song name, current time, and total time in a button.

(Code removed for old version)

That is how you can turn off the buttons and the COM connection. Default to turn it on and off is zmudampon and zmudampoff. Pretty simple, eh? The trigger you see is part of the part I'm most excited about. Sharing with the MUD what you are listening to. Get a tell of zmudamp status and you reply back with the song, current time, and total time. If you have the buttons and COM closed, it tells them you aren't listening to music right now.

(I'm leaving this in incase someone wants to add it to the latest version)

#CLASS zMUDampSubMenu {menu}
#MENU {Full Name/Time sent to %selword (must be a chan)} {%selword @song %concat(%eval((@songtime/1000)/60),":",%mod(%eval(@songtime/1000),60))"/"%concat(%eval(@songlength/61),":",%mod(@songlength,60)}
#MENU {Auction} {auctalk @song}
#MENU {FriendNet} {fc @song}
#MENU {Grats} {grats @song}
#MENU {IC} {gossip @song}
#MENU {Info} {info @song}
#MENU {Music} {music @song}
#MENU {OOC} {ooc @song}
#MENU {Quest} {qchan @song}
#MENU {Question/Answer} {answer @song}
#MENU {Quote} {quote @song}
#MENU {Say} {say @song}
#MENU {Tell %selword (must be name)} {tell %selword @song}
#MENU {Trashtalk} {trash @song}
#MENU {Trivia} {trivia @song}
#CLASS 0
#MENU "zMUDamp Channel Selector" {} "" "zMUDampSubMenu"

This is the really cool part. Right click in the window, and you can send the Artist - Song to any chan. Right now, they are customed to my MUD, A Temporal Rift. If your MUD has different/more/less chans, you can change stuff around. To add, just copy a line. The first set of {} is what it will appear as in the menu. The second is the channel keyword and @song. Do not change the @song part or the song won't get broadcasted. For the Full Name send to <chan>, right click on a chan and then go for the full name send. That will send the name of the song and the time stats. The tell command must link to a player name so right click on a player name and tell away.

This file along with the version history and screen shots of how it looks on my machine will be up on http://www.artitumis.com/zmudamp.html tonight or tomorrow so check that out. Questions, comments, etc can be emailed to me: marcus(at)artitumis(dot)com. Enjoy zMUDamp!

Cheers!

The webpage for zMUDamp is up with links to the source in text form, a player screenshot, and a channel selector screen shot. The above post is used as the release notes. Version history from the backbone script up until now is also there.

Ideas for v2.0 are posted and I'll get around to that in the next week or two. Gonna let this one sink in and see what everyone thinks before I pour more time into it. So far the only thing I know I can really do skin the buttons. We'll see how goes!

v2.0 update

zMUDamp v2.0 will be released on a TBA basis as of now. I found a list of functions and codes so I will slowly start adding those in. My final goal if possible would be to get with someone that is skilled in programming outside of zMUD and perhaps make this a plugin instead of a script. Any takers?

Screenshot of v2.0b is here! http://www.tr-radio.net/player2.jpg

As you can see from the screenshot, I've fixed the bug with the time when seconds < 10. Instead of showing 0:04, it would just show 0:4. That has been fixed.

I'm attempting to find a way to mute and then v2.0b will become v2.0!

Great script :))

I only have one problem, what file name do i import into zmud as a plug-in? or am i just nuts? Razz

I think it's a Plug-In for WinAMP. That's how it worked for me. I added a gauge that measures song length and has the song name because I like visual things. Check it out.

#BUTTON 6 {@song} {} {} {} {@songtime} {} {} {Size} {396} {19} {} {} {} {32864} {} {Gauge||12|@songlength*1000|@songlength*1000|15} {} "" {Explore|Inset} {} {} {3}

I have the size set like that so it lines up with some other things I had... it's not important.

Well, I am finally posting it! This is a script for zMUD that allows control of Winamp from the zMUD window. The new version is importable and much easier to get set up than before. For full details, check out www.artitumis.com/zmudamp.html As always, questions can be email to me: marcus@artitumis.com

Cheers!

-Edit: Oops, my old domain was in there. Fixed!

Just a small bug correction. There is a missing ")" for the %concat function.

#CLASS "zMUDampPower"
#ALIAS zmudampoff {
#var winampstatus 0
#t- zMUDampControl
#t- zMUDampButtons
}
#ALIAS zmudampon {
#var winampstatus 1
#t+ zMUDampControl
#t+ zMUDampButtons
}
#VAR winampstatus {0} {0}
#TRIGGER {%1 tells you 'zmudamp status'} {
#if (@winampstatus = 1) {
tell %1 Heya %1! The current playing song is @song. The current postion of the song is %concat( %eval( (@songtime/1000)/60),":",%mod( %eval( @songtime/1000), 60))" and the length of the current song is" %concat( %eval( @songlength/61), ":", %mod( @songlength, 60)).
} {
"tell %1 I'm sorry, I'm not listening to music right now."
}
}
#CLASS 0

Ah, yes. Thank you. I rarely get that tell so I didn't spot it. Thanks again.

Mmm... I love the new zMUD amp. Just got it and set it up. I couldnt get your timer button thing working though, the one that tells second of song. So I modified the colors and size of the one I was using with the old zMUDamp to fit the skins you have with the buttons, and mind is a Gauge with the song name. I must say, I am quite proud of myself. :P But anyway... I couldn't get your to work. Nothing happened. :(

#BUTTON 5 {@song} {} {} {} {@songtime} {} {} {Size} {317} {29} {} {} {} {112} {} {Gauge||7|@songlength*1000|@songlength*1000|8} {} "" {} {} {}

Mmm... because Bravenet is so... stupid... it won't let me link to images or post images. You'll have to copy the address and paste it into the address bar. And... anyone know a webhost that lets me link messages? :P

Sorry to those looking for the site for zMUDamp. I changed domains and never ported it over. The new address is http://www.artitumis.com/zmudamp.html

I haven't thought of anything new to put in zMUDamp so if anyone else has ideas, please let me know. Thanks!

hrmm thats all well and good, but how about making it actually do something?
Im talking shuffle buttons, repeat, volume as well as displaying a song name, artist, bitrate, length and position...
well Ive done all this, :o) no one seemed to intrested though, so if anyone is.. let me know.

Apprentice Joined: 05 May 2003 Posts: 194

It does do some of that... did you even LOOK at the screenshot? The one he made has volume, mute, song name, song length, and position. Great job, Turian!

Newbie Joined: 11 Mar 2005 Posts: 9

Yes some of that indeed... :o)

{edit}
What do you mean do something? It definately controls the crap out of Winamp. You can click buttons or use the macros to do what ever you want. Plus it is skinned and looks pretty. Very Happy

{/edit}

I'm always up for suggestions for new releases. If you would like to send your code to me you will be credited for what you supply. Loto gave me the idea and the basics for the gauge I just recently put in and he did in fact get credit. I even alerted him by email.

A note to Jitteron and anyone else that would like new features:

The only way it would work is if Winamp has a COM command predefined. If you know what that means and how to look it up, please tell me when you suggest something. If you are clueless, just say so and I'll look it up. Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah okay fair call.. well handled.

This is what I did a while ago, I recently posted it up here. Im not sure if it can be transferred directly to zmud as ive not posted any code ive created before. BUT the functionality of everything works

http://forums.zuggsoft.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=20102&highlight=unfinished

and here is what mine looks like..
http://iahmel.com/gallery.php?action=viewImage&image_id=157

Id love to see a value return on volume so I can make a volume guage.
Oh and if you know a way to get a value return from shuffle and repeat, id love to know otherwise there is no way of telling if they were on or off to begin with.

Onya mate.

There isn't a return value that zMUD can grab for either volume or shuffle/repeat status.
