[Approved] Options for basic+normal home, only normal home and only basic home (1 Viewer)

[disaster123]

Hi!

Sometimes you want to use only the basichome and not the normal home of a skin. With this patch from revs it is possible to disable normal home via an option in MP.

EDIT: Patch updated on 10.01.2010

OK this patch is not complete anymore since you changed the handling in the GUIWindowManager to manually add HOME to the previouslist. If i need configvariables in GUIWindowManager. How to do this? Should i implement xmlreader and read on initialisation the value or is there a better way?

OK here is a new Version which solves this problem.

Would be nicer if the patch would provide three stage setting:

1) use both normal and basic home
2) use only normal home
3) use only basic home

+1 for that - I use the normal home and would like to be able to disable basic home

ok perfect idea - do you have an idea where to put that option? Three checkboxes in general section isn't a good idea

Maybe on the skin selection screen (althou I cannot remember what it looks like). Also it should be combo box, when using three options to chose from.

Sounds great.

Here is where it should be:

Perhaps only for "expert" mosw?

Also, this needs to go if this gets implemented:

mhm i'm not shure wether it should go or not if somebody selects option (1) use both normal and basic home) - then you can decide which homescreen you want to start.

Hey guys, I guess I should have posted my patch!

I have this implemented on 1.0.2. I have an option for basic home only, home only, both, and still have the start in basic home option.

Ill readup on hot to make a patch this evening and then post what I have unless disaster beats me to it!
