Puppack questions

[MauiPunter]

1) How do you use the PlayAction setting:  CustomFunc?  Is there any examples I can look at out there?  I didn't find it in the wiki

 

2) Is there a way to show a PuPAlpha image and then hide it after a period of time (ie 2 seconds)?  I'd like to pop up an image to the screen and then stop showing it.  How do you do this?  Length(s)?

 

3) Is there a numeric range for the Priority field? 

 

4) So as to not conflict with DOF, what numeric range should the pup events start at? 300?

 

5) Can you fade in and out a pup alpha image?

 

6) Can you display an animated image file and it will move?  (ie a gif or apng)

 

7) Does PlayAction setting: "StopFile" or "StopPlayer" work with sound or image files?  I know they work with video files.

 

8 ) Is there a difference between PUPOverlay and PUPAlpha play lists?

 

9) Can you programmatically move an image across the screen using the pup pack framework?

Hi all, I would like to attempt the making of my own pup pack. I have some mp4 files, watched some online content, I understand the basic concepts and am aiming low and simple dof triggers. However, looking into the triggers provides challenges to find the lighting/ switch/ bumper names for example s46 and where it is located and triggered. while watching some online content terry Red had some scematics. Is this content readily avaliable and if so where? Are there any rules, restrictions governing their use? This project is for my own private use.

I would appreciate some data please,

Sandman

Hi

This is my first time on this forum, so I apologize if my question belongs elsewhere or if its been answered before.

 

It's regarding the Alt-Tab function.  For some reason this was removed after Pinup 145, and I've always found this to be an excellent tool with troubleshooting.  I'd like to use the later versions, was this ever a re-released or maybe a patch that would restore this very useful function to 146 or 150?     Thank you!

Did you figure out any of these? I'm working on your #2 right now... need to know how to hide a PNG after 3 seconds.

Unfortunately, no.
