HyperSpin Startup Script 1.08

[ghutch92]

Sorry for the late reply. Im on leave now and my drinking has picked up... perfect! Here s a hungover attempt. Ithink this is what you were after? Due to the sizing its hard to get the link to look right. Unless you want a gap that is?

Can you make the S the same stroke width as the 2 but keep the same height? Also extend the white line so that it looks like it starts outside of the circle and ends outside of the circle.

Had to do much playing to get this to work, but I think this is what you described?

2 is too small.

I like this one better so far, I also like the small bright glow affect you added to the white. Extend the lines and I'll try and make a mockup of what I'm talking about with the stroke width.

How's the script coming along? Do you have a test version available?

Thanks for all your efforts on this project.

It could be released right now, just waiting on a program icon.

Let's hope for a quick icon solution so we can all appreciate your efforts ;-)

I can do that no problem. But when your talking about stroke, it says to me that you want an outline around the lettering?

Almost there, just needs to be cleaned up. Specifically the small amount of green between the white lettering and the outside of the circle where the 2 and the S has been extended should be replaced by white. Like how this logo extends its letter line outside of the circle.

There you go, all tidied up for you. Didnt want to go too detailed with a mockup. Is there something else you want doing?

Looks great, can you put it in on a dropbox or image sharing site a 256x256 resolution with a transparent background.

Also if you could make another flatter version in the style of windows 8 icons without the shadows and glow affects, just 2 colors green and white. Yes this means I want two icons

[SIMPLYAUSTIN]

I have given you a flat version and uploaded them as both PNG format and ICON format. Heres the link for you to grab them!

Glad I could help you. Its just a small thank you for all the hard work you have put in to help us all around here. I wish I could offer you more, but if ever you are stuck, just ask and I will do my best

I have ended my search for a program icon, thanks austin585.

Awkward timing though, I'm in the middle of adding a new feature, the quicklaunch bar. It looks like a taskbar on the left handside in this screenshot. Currently working out any bugs in the new feature.

Plus I need to write instructions.

[SIMPLYAUSTIN]

Amazing stuff, so many possibilities for something like that! Glad I could help out. If you need any more help in anything just give me a shout

[Polemicist]

Nice one Austin.

Your avatar keeps distracting me ... ... ...

Just an update on my progress, I have mostly finished adding the quicklaunch menu feature.

Left to do:

setting keys for roulette option, volume display, quicklaunch menu - 9 tests

Thoroughly test the opening and closing at program start - 4 tests

Test Minimizing and restoring windows - 1 test

Adding hyperspin application to quicklaunch menu - ? tests

Turning controllers on while hyperspin startup script is running - 6 tests

Adding lots of applications to quicklaunch menu - 1 test

Adding no applications to quicklaunch menu - 1 test

Adding non-existent applications to quicklaunch menu - 3 tests

Add flag ignoreProcessClose to quicklaunch options for applications that use a launcher. 0% complete

Remove unused quicklaunch menu flags, 40% complete

After I do the above I'll release it.

Sounds great. Will this close hypersearch on exiting HS? I've tried all sorts and the damned thing won't close. Xpadder closes but Hypersearch remains active prompting an error when relaunching hyperspin.

Maybe? I can make no guarantees. Since it's using the same closing method as the currently available startup script, try renaming the one currently available to something like hyperspin exit script and put hypersearch in the process to close setting. Just remember to tell hyperspin to use it as your exit program.

Just a quick progress update

finished testing "Minimizing and restoring windows"

Just got done testing the minimize windows thing. Before it would minimize anything and everything which left strange artifacts leftover from the invisible windows it minimized on the desktop. Now fixed it to where it only minimizes windows that report having a minimize box in the title bar, and you now have the option of it automatically restoring your windows on exit (this behavior is enabled by default).

finished testing "setting keys for roulette option, volume display, quicklaunch menu"

only allows two key combo, uses ahk hotkey symbols

finished testing "Adding no applications to quicklaunch menu"

does not display menu.

finished testing "Adding non-existent applications to quicklaunch menu"

does not display icon in menu. If all applications are non-existent, menu is not displayed.

finished "removing unused Quicklaunch flags"

finished "adding flag ignoreProcessClose"

does not reactivate hyperspin when process specified in path is closed

Left to do

adding lots of applications to quicklaunch menu - 4 tests

Turning controllers on while hyperspin startup script is running - 1 test

Adding hyperspin application to quicklaunch menu - 2 tests

Thoroughly test the opening and closing of programs - 4 tests

Another update on the progress

Finished testing "adding lots of applications to quicklaunch menu"

it moves up and down like hyperspin's vertical wheel, except the chosen item is not always in the middle. The chosen item is larger and offset compared to the not chosen items. If the file does not exist it will skip it, Some programs I tried I could not retrieve the icon image from the exe or the size was really small so I added a new tag for a custom logo image. Finally got it to remember the last known chosen position. If the startup script is restarted it will forget what the last known position was.

Turning controllers on while hyperspin startup script is running

Before the controllers only worked if they were turned on before the startup script started, and if it was turned on while it was running it would work after about 5 to 10 minutes of no activity. I have fixed this and the controller is now recognized after about 1 to 3 seconds of no axis/dpad activity.

Launching the same hyperspin exe that is running has come with some unforeseen issues, requiring some major editing of the code that reads the hyperspin and hyperlaunch settings.

I've tested opening and closing applications at hyperspin startup, so it works, but further testing is needed opening and closing applications at hyperspin closing.

Left to do

Adding hyperspin application to quicklaunch menu - ? tests

Thoroughly test the opening and closing of programs - 2 tests

Barring any outside circumstances, I expect to have this released within 2 weeks, probably sooner.

I will give you 2 days!!

Hehe, joke! Many thanks for this. Its amazing the work you been doing, its well over my head but makes things much more simple for me.

[Agrajag]

Thanks for the update. With this, and all the other add-ons written by others, I'm starting to think it won't be long before we don't actually need HyperSpin at all!

[ghutch92]

Updated to v1.06

See first post in thread for details

Don't know why but using this script does close hypersearch when HS closes. Thank you for this great util!

Question, what does this mean in the change log... Does this mean if I update I can't auto open or close xpadder?

removed keymapper support,

Still opens xpadder...;-)
