[Solved] Help find a Paint.NET switchless addon

[ricktendo64]

I am looking for a certain Paint.NET addon or the author (if anybody knows who it was) that had a advanced way of doing config.txt that was sorta like RTF (Rich Text) formatting in the prompt. It had colors, bold, size, font codes

I am working on a .net4 aio sfx maker I would like to know how he did it (I tried doing something in write.exe then copying it in config.txt but cant get it to work)

ricktendo64,

I never dl'd that Paint.NET addon, but I do have a copy of nacnay's Winamp addon and the config.txt appears to have at least some of what your looking for.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a million!!!

I finally figured out why it was not working for me, I was using the wrong sfx module

[ricktendo64]

Thanks to you and nacnay I was able to make a nice .net4 installer that resembles the original

wasn't that from your Adobe Reader installer ?

My first ever public release of it would have been VCP 5.4.2 (Sept 14, 2009). Prior to that, I had repackaged some of RogueSpear's stuff and had been using the config privately for about a month.

It's funny because I had been toying around with it for a while and got some stuff mixed up. So VCP 5.4.2 has the font sizes all screwed up. VCP 5.4.7 (Oct 19) has them fixed, but both 5.4.2 and 5.4.7 say "A RogueSpear Installation" up at the top. It wasn't until 5.4.8 (Nov 6) that I finally got my ducks in a row. lol

Thx

The thing is I knew how it was done (with wordpad) but could never get it to work, I was using the wrong sfx the whole time

ya you need the one "with dialogs".

I wrote mine with notepad. RTF syntax is simple.


Using something like wordpad would probably give you some unnecessary stuff and possibly screw up your layout with things like margins. But then again, mine would probably look better with some margins. lol.

Hey does anybody know how to do this (scrollable list box) with word and can it be saved as rtf and implemented in the gui of the sfx?

[dumpydooby]

In Word it should be simple, something like tools->insert->text (I don't actually remember the Word menu layout, so that's probably not exactly correct). But translating that into RTF probably isn't going to happen. But supposing that it is possible to do that with RTF (and again, I really don't think it is), 7zsd.sfx module likely wouldn't be able to interpret it (you'll note that my config.txt file actually has a hyperlink RTF syntax in it, but the 7zsd.sfx module isn't able to interpret it properly and simply displays it as text). The module is too basic for that functionality. You'd be better off hacking it yourself or enlisting the help of someone that can hack it for you.

[ricktendo64]

Yea I managed to do it with restorator but the hard part is getting the text in it and formatting it

You are right about the sfx, its basic. I tried adding pictures but it would not recognize them either
