This Plugin based upon the well known and good old FuFi.Widgets who accompanied us for years, it was written from scratch to change the look and feel of the Widgets and to make it easier to configure. Also to use the new XAseco features and events for more speed (since XAseco/1.12).

Some new features are included to have more information available and easily accessible. The famous feature (i think) is the adjustable clock, no more need to calculate the local time from a Server far away!

Also included the BEAT (the Swatch Internet Time), that displays the time which is worldwide the same. Another nice feature are the clickable Record-Widgets to display all the driven records and not just a few in the small Widgets.

The extended TMX-Trackinfo-Window display more information of a Track as the default currently does and also in a very nice way.

The next very nice thing is the Tracklist where you can easily add a Track to the Jukebox. The integrated filter options makes it easy for e.g. list only Tracks with the mood night or only Stadium Tracks or only Tracks from a selected Trackauthor.

Tips

• If you want to setup <pos_x> or <pos_y> to 0, then type 0.01 instead. This is required, because the XML-Parser from XAseco assume 0 as false and skip this option
• For Text-Formatting like colors or styles, see the TM-Wiki
• For in-game Images and Backgrounds see the Overview

ClockWidget

It is very important that you set <clock_widget><default_timezone> to the timezone your Server is setup to, otherwise the ClockWidget can not display the right time.

MusicWidget (Custom music on your Server)

If you use MUX-Files or untagged OGG-Files, then you can use this Format for the filenames to be able to see the Songname and the Artist:

• Michael_Jackson_-_Bad.mux or
• Michael_Jackson_-_Bad.ogg

The underscores are replaced by spaces.

If you are running XAseco2 on a Windows system and using the P2P option, then make sure you setup <music_server> in the musicserver.xml to Music instead of Music/ (as documented), otherwise the CurrentSongWidget can not match the current song (click here for details).

Placements

Displays multiple fully customizable widgets all over the HUD containing images or bik-videos. This content needs its loading time so please be patient if it does not show up immediately and you need to press DEL to get the loaded content to be displayed.

You can combine the tags in nearly every possible way, having a manialink on a video that becomes an image on mouseover or something like that. You can add as many <placement>-Blocks as you want but be sure to not overload your HUD for your players.

Note

• If you set <url>, <manialink>, <action_id> and <chat_command> together, only <url> will be used
• Min. required are (without <include>): <enabled>, <display>, <pos_x>, <pos_y>, <width> and <height>
• Min. required are (with <include>): <enabled>, <display> and <include> (all other are ignored)

Detailed information for <include> in a <placement>

The best place for XML files to include with a <placement> is a own directory named placements:

xaseco
xaseco/includes
xaseco/panels
xaseco/placements
xaseco/plugins
xaseco/styles
		

In the directory placements you have to place your example.xml. Then you can use this <placement> to include your example.xml at race:

<placement>
	<enabled>true</enabled>
	<display>race</display>
	<include>placements/example.xml</include>
</placement>

Requirements

• XAseco/1.16+

• PHP/5.2.13 or above (or "Olson" Timezone Database Version 2010.2 or above, see here for more).
