would it even be possible to make it so when you right click, the menu that pops up is round with buttons going around it? (like wheel of fortunes wheel, except they do things when you click on them - instead of setting how much you win ;)) anyways, figured I'd ask.
Ya, it'd be very simple to do, but I'm pretty sure you'd have to break OTS2 to do it.
there is a theme posted in the themes section already with this functionality if I remember right. and yes...it bends the rules of OTS2...A LOT!
You wouldn't need to break OTS2, technically, but then you couldn't get the normal popup. You can use MZScript to make a new !popup bang after the popup module is loaded.
Or, you can use config\_compatibility_patch.rc and replace desktop click actions.
yeah, you could probably do that with xLabel, and set LS to run the show the label instead of the popup when you click on the desktop...and then set the label to close OnLeave or something...
Deuce: why not use xPopup? xLabel, AFAIK, can't emulate a popup's focus behavior, while xPopup can use labels.
I'm not sure what focus behavior you're referring to. and do you mean just hook xlabels into xpopup? yeah, I guess that would work also...and doing it that way, it shouldn't break OTS2. but I never liked wheel menus that much (Neverwinter Nights had it, and I didn't like it at all...)
xLabel has no way to close when it loses focus. However, that is how practically every popup works. So, xPopup could make it show up, close on it losing focus (if not pinned), and then each item would include a !(popupnameunpin) in their actions.
well, thanks a lot guys. been a lot of help! so thanks again
