Background Image Problems

youngbucksMay 14, 2008 at 10:58 PM#

Ok im having a porblem with my installer. The background image script i put into the installer worked for only a short time now when i startup the installer the BImage doesnt show for the license page and directory page,only leading up to the installation page it shows and it worked before. It gives no errors when i compile it so its weird why it wont work, maybe someone can help. Here is the current one im testing:

XPStyle on



# !define DEBUG

!macro GetReturnValue

!ifdef DEBUG

	Pop $R9

	StrCmp $R9 success +2

		DetailPrint "Error: $R9"

!endif

!macroend



Function .onGUIInit

	InitPluginsDir

	File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\1.bmp "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Wizard\B.bmp"



!ifdef DEBUG

	BgImage::SetReturn /NOUNLOAD on

!endif



	BgImage::SetBg /NOUNLOAD /GRADIENT 0

	!insertmacro GetReturnValue

	BgImage::AddImage /NOUNLOAD /FILLSCREEN $PLUGINSDIR\1.bmp 

	!insertmacro GetReturnValue

	BgImage::Redraw /NOUNLOAD

	

FunctionEnd



ShowInstDetails show



Section

	BgImage::AddImage /NOUNLOAD $PLUGINSDIR\1.bmp 

	!insertmacro GetReturnValue

	BgImage::Redraw /NOUNLOAD

SectionEnd



Function .onGUIEnd

	BgImage:😁estroy

FunctionEnd

I think i accidentally edited a small part of it once by accident but i look at this i don't see what could be the problem. help please🙁

BTW: Im using nullsoft installer v2.37

Script seems fine, but it's not the complete script so I can't tell what else is getting in the way.

That's the original example script which doesn't have a license page or a directory selection page.

youngbucksMay 15, 2008 at 6:51 PM#

Yes thats the original example script but even when i add both license page and directory it does the same thing.

kichikMay 15, 2008 at 7:28 PM#

Attach (do not copy & paste) the complete example which fails for you.

youngbucksMay 15, 2008 at 9:02 PM#

Here is my script that i cant get to work. You have to add a image with the name "B", extension bmp to ${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Wizard to get it to compile. The size of the background image i work with is 1280*960 and it only works perfectly without "/FILLSCREEN" when the resolution is 1280*960. When i change the resolution its outve place and when i add "/FILLSCREEN" the screen goes black and it says "Cannot load bitmap".

kichikMay 16, 2008 at 8:48 AM#

/FILLSCREEN is only valid for BgImage::SetBg and not for BgImage::AddImage. In your script, black comes from the BgImage::SetBg call and the error comes from using /FILLSCREEN in the BgImage::AddImage.

You should attach the script that gives you trouble and the one that's working next time.

Ok ill remember next time and thanks for the help i fixed the problem now 🙂
