boxig Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 mannybr2003, and all members,Here is my first try to make a utility fo turning PTE to a Karaoke tool.I uploaded an unfinished beta version to get your comments as to knowshould I continue working on it.The zip include the utility "KaraOK.exe", "Readme.txt", and "Configure.txt".In the last one you write your song's lines and the speed of words appearing.Make a copy of my original "Configure.txt" in another name for backup, incase you make a mess with it.As for now I can't make it transparant.Things I need to know:do I have to increase or decrease font size ?Oh' forgot, use "Run external applicatin" on customized first slide and itwill stay on top of your show or use it as it is (just run "KaraOK.exe").Meantime I added a new function (and new upload):User can move the window on screen, by standing with mouse where helikes the top-left corner of the window to be and click "Alt+Space".And don't be shy to tell me it's no good (if you think so) - at least I'll know not to spend my time on it.Download HERE. - 420 kbWaiting for your commentsGranot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannybr2003 Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 I just downloaded and tested your work Boxig, and it is working. However, I think with a little experimentation by listening to how many seconds a specific line of a song is, that we can make a more accurate synch with the lyrics while that part of melody is being played. But I have to finish my test of your work before I'd say you made it exactly right. By the way Boxig, I come to think also that you might also try another method. This is just by way of suggestion. I myself doesn't have any idea how to use the keyboard to apply this. But some of these karaoke makers I am using could sychronicze the highlighting of syllables with the part of the song that is being sanged or with the note that is played when you press say, the Enter key or the Space Bar. Although for some songs this I found is hard to do, in many ways it is easier when you know how well the song is performed. Do you think there is a way to use a key in the keyboard to press just when the highlighting could be applied at the right syllable and at the right note or part of the song? You know I do make midikaraokes a lot, and also videokaraoke. However, the nice thing with this one that you are developing is that, your's is portable, in that it doesn't show any trademark and is tiny, no need of putting extra files to the Windows directories, and have no extra baggage. One can just make a copy on the CD when your program is needed. It is always ready like a scout!By the way You might want to trigger the playing of the song with the hightlighting when someone use your KaraOK at the press of a highperlink or button. And by the way I have much to thank you for attending to my great interests in finding fun further in utilizing PTE in connection with your works with entertainment and Sounds. I'll let you know if I made a good sample project. I might post it in the download area if I feel it's worth looking and listening at. As to where in the screen, or how big, or color changeable the fonts will be, just offer that version when you think it already need to be paid when we download it.
