I'm unable to get jamptoo to appear in an lsbox. Here's my code

The image size for box_tbar.png is 523(w) x 18(h)

If I load jamptoo from the step.rc file it displays as expected. I also tried switching around the width and hight for the Wharfmodule just in case the docs were wrong but it made no different.

Any ideas on what the cause could be?

The problem should be fixed in 1.4...

I'm using version 1.4. I downloaded it again from ls.net and from loose-screws just to make sure but no difference. I also tried version 1.2x and an older version of lsbox that I borrowed from the sputnik theme but still no success. The sputnik theme uses jamptoo in box and it works fine on my machine so I can't imagine why it doesn't work in my theme.

I did notice how ever that jamptoo is there, it's just invisible. Even with a background colour set.

weird, mine does...

here's my code:

LsBoxZOrder HUGBOTTOM

*WharfModule 1 1 108 20 "$ModulesDir$jAmpToo.dll"

and i'm using jAmpToo v1.4

I was fighting this last night. I could get a yellow background, but no text. Worked great on the actual desktop though. On mine and DrWorms broken code, we are using LsBoxZOrder STAYONTOP. The one that works has LsBoxZOrder HUGBOTTOM. I wonder if the box is pushing itself above the jamp text?

-Jon

I haven't tried changing the zorder but I did try making the lsbox traparent to see if I could see anything underneath but no luck. Though it would explain why sputnic worked as well.

Above I mentioned that jamptoo was there. I was able to tell this as with the current x and y position and the width it overlaps my shortcut buttons. The result is that I can't click on these buttons and they don't do the mouse over effect.

Has anyone seen jamptoo used in a lsbox when the box is set to STAYONTOP? This isn't really optional with my theme. I guess I could use label instead of jamptoo.

i switched that box to stay on top. everything worked fine. :-/

Using your exact config, it still doesn't work for me :(
I'm going to debug it and see if I can figure it out.

-Jon

in which order do you load the modules? i load lsbox first with LoadModule and jamptoo is loaded by script with !ReloadModule.

Do you always have to reloadmodule after your wharf something in?

-Jon

nope...just means you loaded stuff in the wrong order.

Setting the box to HUGBOTTOM made no difference. I also removed jAmpAlwaysOnTop which resulted in jamptoo interacting differently with the background of the box but still doesn't show anything.

"in which order do you load the modules? i load lsbox first with LoadModule and jamptoo is loaded by script with !ReloadModule."

I don't understand what you are suggesting, sorry. I load lsbox in step.rc. I then include base.rc in step.rc. I call tbar.box from base.rc. The jamptoo setting are defined after this in base.rc. JAmptoo.dll is loaded in tbar.box as a warf module.

I'm keen to try you theme to see what it does differently if you have it uploaded, Egonz.

DrWorm, that is almost the same as how I am loading. Settings in step.rc, step.rc loads main2.box, main2.box loads jamptoo.dll through *wharfmodule.

-Jon

Wow you two are just kindred spirits.

oh, sry *blush*
i load jamptoo as a wharfmodule too :)

well, concerning my theme, i have a huge bug in there somwhere which crashes ls so it's in alpha-state and i don't want to realease it yet. i hope i'm able to debug it by this week and upload a beta-version. the theme is called Gamma btw.

k, i uploaded the theme, but i'm using label now instead of jamptoo. but jamptoo settings are still there so if you want to replace label then do this:

*) in step.rc comment the line where literunner.dll is loaded,
*) in congfig\text.box comment the label-hook line and uncomment the wharfmodule line,
*) in config\script.rc comment the !AmpLabelDestroy line in !Toggle_Text bang.

I found the problem and I'm almost too embarrased to post it here. I had jAmpTitleBottom set to 0 believing this was meant to be the distance from the bottom. Instead it should have been the distance from the top in which case it should be 15. Obviously jamp ignores this value if it's too low when not used in a box.

Thanks for uploading your theme Egonz. I wouldn't have spotted my mistake otherwise.

i had same issues when i first tried out jamptoo :D
glad to help you anyway ;)

i'm just so happy :) i did benji-jumping yesterday!!!!!

I ran into the exact same problem as DrWorm here. However, even if I fix my jAmpTitleBottom, it still doesn't show up in the box. Any help?

Well it doesn't appear that you are making the same mistake I did. Try turning off jAmpAlwayOnTop. I don't know if it will fix the problem but you shouldn't need it as your box is set to always be ontop.

It actually took a different jamp build for me to get it to work. I used the exact same settings and it didn't work with the distributed .dll but it DID work with this one i compiled...

-Jon

DrWorm - I thought for sure I tried that, but sure enough, as soon as I turned off jAmpAlwaysOnTop, it showed up. Thanks for the help.
