Hello
To easily convert the your size of your skin veiled a script.
It converted for you size of all beacons of your file XML.
Note you must make the conversion of your file BMP manually.
size supported :
640x480
800x600
1024x768
1280x960

the above link is no longer valid, this was a very useful utility & could have easily been altered to adjust for widescreen skins aswell.
can someone from the team please contact dj-maboul & make these utilities avaliable on the vdj site... it would greatly help us skin developers to port the skins to different skin sizes

I have a perl script that I made that does just that. I didn't waste too much time making it user friendly though because I figured I would be the only one using it.
I will post its contents into a spearate reply so that it can be copied & pasted.
It only resizes the xml, but does provide percentages for use in the 'stretch' function of MS Paint.

skinResize.pl syntax:
perl skinResize.pl SKIN.xml [WIDTH [HEIGHT]]
SKIN is the name of the XML file for the skin
WIDTH is the desired width
HEIGHT is the desired height
A new file named SKIN.WIDTHxHEIGHT.xml will be created.
You will be reminded to 'stretch' your .bmp file to match the new xml file and will be given the stretch percentages to use.
There are no restrictions on the WIDTH and HEIGHT, so have fun!
Let me know if this is useful and/or if you experience any bugs. I am not going to devote alot of time to maintaining this script, but I will be willing to make some changes if necessary.

I just realized that the forum strips out some characters and so copying and pasting the previously posted perl script will not work. I will repost with the missing characters.

any "*.exe" aviable ??
or how many difficult for an ignorant like me try to compile "perl" language?

I could make an .exe file out of this.
To run it through perl though, you just need to install the perl interpreter, available at:
http://www.activestate.com/Products/Download/Download.plex?id=ActivePerl
Let me know if you have problems using the script.

Yes an .exe should be better ;-)

i couldn't get it to work when i tried, an exe would be excellent if it is possible doesnt need a graphical front end just cmd is fine

I will create an .exe, but where can I post it once it is created? Is there a way for others to be able to download it through my blog? I don't have any external webserver space that I could store it on.

you can either upload it in the plugins sections of this site. But the team has to accept it.
If they don't then upload it to www.yousendit.com and share the link to download the exe with us.

I advise you to upload it on the plugins space. It will be easier for everybody

this script does not work as is since most probably there are parts of code missing. Nevertheless I together with a friend of mine completed the script and as looks (unfortunately there wasn't much time for long beta testing :)) works great. Another problem is that cannot be made as an *.exe(since the compilation is in an experimental stage, an as an *.exe don't work properly) so if any of you want it should have also the active perl in order to run .If any of you want it just ask

Yeah, copying and pasting from the message board is flaky because some characters get left out (such as backslashes '\\') unless entered a certain way. I had tried to go over it with a fine-tooth comb to correct all of these, but it just wasn't worth the trouble.
Also, I have been using the script myself lately and have made some improvements as well as fixing some bugs.
I have posted my latest version of the script here for download:
http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0CAZ1K3NERLB60E0SKCVINP5IB
Let me know if you have problems with it.
Also, I have found that PhotoShop does a MUCH better job at resizing the .bmp file than MS Paint. I highly recommend using PhotoShop to do the resize especially if you are changing the aspect ratio (normal to widescreen, or vice versa.)

yeah you 're right for the forum, but would you like to give me your mail to send it to you just to check it? I've done some improvements too;). photoshop is a lot better in resizing the bmp since it uses also the percentages of the script :)
