From Seraph on 18.01.2005, 00:40: What the hell are .psh and .psm files? (etcetera) Well, as stated in the subject of this post, what are .psh and .psm files? How do you edit them? How do you do anything when creating a skin. The document "how-to-skin-psycle" couldn't be any less helpful if it was entirely blank. I have no idea what to do, any help would be appreciated.

From FingerSoup on 18.01.2005, 01:59: I actually found the information very helpful. It also helps if you take a look at the BMP's, and the PSH/PSM files of someone else's skin... It makes more sense that way.

From Seraph on 31.01.2005, 00:36: Yeah, it would be appreciated if someone could fix the link for that...I have a "Matrix" skin half-done, half-waiting-in-my-head. I'm sure anyone as much who's as much of a nerd as I am would appreciate that, no?

From FingerSoup on 31.01.2005, 01:39: As for the editor, I haven't used it. I believe it would edit the files, or at least allow you to select areas and write a PSM or PSH (Hereafter referred to as skin file).

From Seraph on 31.01.2005, 01:48: Um...you lost me. So...skins can be made/altered using a text editor...I'm not sure what files you'd use with that, or what the "variable" would be.

From TranceMyriad on 31.01.2005, 04:56: well basically you have one big BMP file with all the elements of skin in it....(have a look in the folders of one of the built in skins).....and then you use the text files to specify where the elements (i.e. master machine image, mute/solo buttons) are within the BMP....so basically, find the psm and psh files of someone else's skin, make your own BMP with your own pics for the elements (all next to each other in the one file), and then subsitute the coordinates of the elements within your BMP into the psm and psh files

From FingerSoup on 31.01.2005, 21:02: RE: Variables - I erred in calling those variables. A more accurate description would be Items or Objects, as the coordinates are the variables (things that you Change). Basically the Item is a short description of what you are assigning values to.

From Seraph on 01.02.2005, 01:27: Aha! Thanks a lot, I get it now. Very cool. I just spent an hour or two editing Odo's skin (the purple one, my favorite), and I've got it all figured out now. Now I can finally finish this. I don't plan on doing anything else until it's done, so I might even have it done as soon as tomorrow, if not it will be in the next couple days. If ksn deems it acceptable, that is. Maybe I'll actually have something decent to contribute to Psycle for once.
