Topic: strange behaviour eq deck 1 when deck 2 selected

Questo argomento è obsoleto e potrebbe contenere informazioni obsolete o errate.

I am in the process of adapting my touch screen skin to VDJ8. I just noticed that, when, for instance, deck 1 is selected, the equalizer buttons from other decks also move the equalizer from the selected deck... This was not the case in VDJ7.

This is my code:
<button action="deck 1 pfl & deck 1 select">

and:
<button action="repeat & deck 3 eq_low +10%">

Do I need to add something there for VDJ8?

EDIT: actually, I said that wrong (in the title)... it should be: deck 3 eq controls move the deck 1 (or 2) controls when deck 1 (or 2) is selected!

Now I KNOW something's wrong with my (vdj7) script code in VDJ8: if I push the pfl button for deck 4 (or 5), the pfl button for the selected deck (1 or 2) also reacts!

So I'm guessing I need to make certain thing exclusive and others global...

This is my code:
<button action="deck 1 pfl & deck 1 select">
<button action="deck 2 pfl & deck 2 select">

and:
<button action="deck 4 pfl">
<button action="deck 5 pfl">

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong (in other words: what has changed since VDJ8)?
 
And here's the Grand Prize: when I use the pfl button on deck 1, the volume sliders of decks 4 and 5 go to 8%, and when I use the pfl button on deck 2, the volume sliders of deck 4 and 5 go to 100%!

I'm puzzled...
 
And when I move the volume sliders from decks 4 or 5, the volume slider from the selected deck (1 or 2) also move!

I know it's probably a silly little thing I forgot to put in, a thing that is now necessary in VDJ8 but was not in VDJ7, but I can't think of what it could be...

By the way: I don't need or want fader buttons in my skin, so I made them "invisible" by giving them this code:
<fader>
<size width="1" height="1"/>
<pos x="0" y="0"/>
</fader>
For each fader, the position is different, but the size is always 1 pixel...
 
Is there maybe some further code to asign the fader to one specific deck?

Because it doesn't seem to be enough that the fader is inside the slider definition...

%fader doesn't work...

I'm at a loss here...
 
Since you are not using defines and classes (unless you do ???) try this:

<button deck="1" action="my_action">
<pos x="" y=""/>
<size width="" height=""/>
<up x="" y=""/>
<down x="" y=""/>
<tooltip>MyTooltip</tooltip>
</button>
 
how do you specify the deck in the actions in your skin ?
Do you use <deck deck="x" > </deck> or use deck x before each action ?
You said volume faders move incorrectly.. Can you post the code for them here ?
 
Does your skin properly define that it is a 5-deck skin?
 
@Phantom: How on Earth did you know that? Indeed, I find the define and class verbs confusing and don't use them. In my skin I ALWAYS define the deck the action is referring to. But with the fader that is impossible, since - as I read in the vdjscript SDK - it has no action. So I just have fader...
This is my code for deck 1:
<slider action="deck 1 level" orientation="vertical" direction="up">
<size width="43" height="460"/>
<pos x="619" y="37"/>
<up x="619" y="37"/>
<selected x="759" y="1118"/>
<down x="759" y="1118"/>
<fader>
<size width="1" height="1"/>
<pos x="150" y="0"/>
</fader>
</slider>
I will try and put the deck in front of the action with every button, slider and visual and see if it works... (edit: actually, I'll include them in deck blocks - see below)
:) Thank you for your continuous input!

@DJDad: You're right! That is possible now. I plainly forgot about it (although I did do it with the panels that way)! And I really like this syntax. Much more logical (and practical when working with notepad++). I'll revise my skin and put in the <deck deck="x" > </deck> blocks and remove the individual deck references. Thank you! How stupid of me.

About the code: see above. I took this code from my VDJ7 skin and merely added the fader part (which seems to be mandatory now in VDJ8, because without it, the software crashes).

@Adion: I ALWAYS declare the number of decks in the first line of my skins (he said proudly)... (pause)... BUT... it seems that this time I forgot it!!! (shame on me)
I'll put it in and see if it solves the problem. Thank you!
 
Thank you very much for the info, gentlemen.
My skin now works as expected (...at least as far as the aforementioned odd behaviour is concerned)!
:)
