does loadinterface button work with over/down states?
doesnt seem to atm, nor is dontreposition working either, been getting the odd crash here and there, seems to be hover states or hovering over songticker mainly i think?, from eventvwr

Faulting application xion.exe, version 1.0.0.67, faulting module shimmer.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x000211ee.

fault would indicate songticker which in this particular skin is a single layer with Track fn(Arial) fs(9) fa(center)

Hmm can you link me to your skin (or email me on contact) and I'll attempt to reproduce it using your skin.

managed to replicate the above bug on different pc using anemovatis Ragnastar skin just by playing with it, altho the crash will happen with potentially any skin, i also used gbx i think (altho the final version) but its deffo reproducable on the first skin

seems to be crashing when hovering over objects particularly around songticker (may be something else but seems to be)

here's one of the skins that im trying to finish off but there is also another small bug?, the picture shows it, its reproducable by hovering over the close button then moving and hovering over the mini button and then away from the skin, it doesnt do it all the time but is noticeable 2/3 times out of 5
there is no other box drawn there in the skin to cause that afaik

hopefully the points i raised with the over/down states on the loadinterface button can be fixed and the dontreposition, if ive got the dontreposition wrong then my bad

just using this skin within about 5 minutes and im sure it will crash on you if you hover over all of the areas, it crashes with the bug i mentioned above

add this same mp3 track url into the pl a few times

http://www.slob.org.uk/ideas/01-Inferno ... the%20Fire)1.mp3

link is borked due to space and brackets, copy whole line

this track doesnt play, yet does in other players, is this part of the ignoretags from the cpp/c differences for the netstream issue or just filename/urlpath Cliff?

Hi Cliff,

I just had Xion crash a few times due to, I imagine, a skin I'm working on. The first time it crashed, all my setting were wiped out. The equalizer, hot keys, skin, & which components were enabled were all reset.

I just had it crash a couple times again, and each time the equalizer was reset to all 0. Usually I have it on 'Bass Reducer'. Changing the preset to something else, then back fixes the problem.

its part of your os

goto start,run and paste in eventvwr

goto application and it should show the xion error at the top of the list, open that up and it will show you in which module it errored

Ok, I've managed to finally fix the redrawing issue. It was a pain in the butt to find, but the fix was simple.

I still havn't gotten Xion to crash with the debugger running, but I will keep trying. Hopefully I can get something soon.

Ok, got this fixed as well. It was an issue with FmodEx and the latest version fixes it. I've also fixed the Title and Artist tags which were in the new Id3 format so that they now get displayed.
