Wow you were pretty resourceful! Unfortunately SoftSqueeze doesnt let
me emulate older non-graphics displays so when I do my testing I kind
of neglect older units. I have an extra unused SBG (not for sale) that
I really should hook up for testing purposes...
It's hard to anticipate how everyone uses the plugin and portions of
the code have gotten ugly to cover all the special cases people need
(large vs small fonts, centered or not, etc). In the next version of
the plugin (for SlimServer 7) to clean up the code I allow users to
specify exactly how they want the screen to look. As it stands if its
configured not to use icons or the 3line text it'll left justify
everything. I think I'll update it to automatically center the text in
that case... I should probably also make it configurable per-player
instead of server-wide...ugh...
I doubt you're using SS7 so that wont do you any good yet. As a temp
fix, you just have to make one more change to your already modified
code to center the text (you'll also need to change the prespaceing to
0 which you already know how to do).
In 5.0.5 around line 5807:
CHANGE:
Code:
--------------------
else { #BASIC OR SLIDE
if ($client->textSize() != 2) { #Not large text
if ($nowshowing{$client} == 0 &&
defined($btmLinePreSpace[$topNowShowing{$client}])) { #Time with special
spacing
#$::d_plugins && msg("SuperDateTime: ***\n");
$hash = {
'overlay' => [ $overlay . $status,
undef ],
'center' => [ $displayLine1{$client},
undef ],
'line' => [ undef,
$displayLine2{$client} ],
};
}
--------------------
TO:
Code:
--------------------
else { #BASIC OR SLIDE
if ($client->textSize() != 2) { #Not large text
if ($nowshowing{$client} == 0 &&
defined($btmLinePreSpace[$topNowShowing{$client}])) { #Time with special
spacing
#$::d_plugins && msg("SuperDateTime: ***\n");
$hash = {
'overlay' => [ $overlay . $status,
undef ],
'center' => [ $displayLine1{$client},
$displayLine2{$client} ],
};
}
--------------------
Basically the last line is removed and the second to last is modified.
This change will only impact showing the time with a two line font.
Lemme know if you have any issues!
