[Very beta]Zune Messenger

[scorpio89mt2]

I know jpegs are kind of ugly...

I'm still working on this and don't even now if it will work yet. But what I hope to do is let someone split up a gif into frames as jpegs and name them in a way the messenger can figure out which frame is what. Then the program will just keep changing the jpeg it displays. I'm crossing my fingers though hoping it doesn't use up too much memory or go too slow...

[I Heart Zune]

Here is what i did to get the fonts
1. hit deploy
2. doubleclick on the error
3. open a word document
4. delete the fonts that were missing with fonts i already had
5. hit deploy again until all problems are solved (should be six times)

so i've downloaded this Instant Messenger a ton of times. and everytime C# opens i get the same message. its the message i get when i try to open ANY zune game or app.

"the project file or web has been moved, or is not on your computer."


im not exactly a computer genius so this could be no big deal but i really dont know what to do


any help would be awesome. preferably e-mail

Extract it first.

i did and it started working [not sure why this time and not the others] and i installed the fonts on my computer, but now when i try to deploy it, it gives me a huuuuge error message

something about the
"building content is not supported through specified method"

then paragraphs more


i'm probably not giving enough info to get help, but on the off chance someone else has had this problem, it'd be awesome if you could tell me whats up

thanks

I assume instead of sync, you mean deploy. Have you tried installing the fonts. I still am not sure what is causing the confusion with the fonts, I didn't think it would cause this much problem.
If nothing else (and I know this is sort of a pain), in the solution explorer on the right, open up all 6 things that are like Font1.spritefont. Then you should see somethig like <FontName>Kootenay</FontName>, change this to something like <FontName>Arial</FontName> or some other font you already have on your computer. Then try deploying again.

You do have xna installed as well as visual studio right? Thats the only thing I can think of

[Sushi416]

Wow I've been looking for an app that does this for a while now... thanks!

[rockafeller]

good job!

[shocker2491]

i think this app is great, perfect for school since we can listen to music on shop week at my tech. school

[scorpio89mt2]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. While I won't tell you to use it in school (cause that would be bad...) school is really one of the few uses since the range of the Zune is not that much.

Anyways, since I have just started school again, I haven't had much time to really work on it in a while, but hopefully this weekend I can make some progress.

when i try to deploy, it gives me an error message, somethin about the font or whatever...

ok i solved the font problem, now its saying that my Zune is "busy", and to make sure its not syncing data (something like that) and i know for sure its not syncing anything......its on the "XNA Game Studio Connect" and it says "Waiting for computer".........wtf is going on? (this is...very aggravating)

[scorpio89mt2]

Hold the back button and up until the Zune resets and see if it works then, that should get it unstuck from the xna studio thing

You should install this as well and find out wich one you like the most. You'll notice some (small) differences.

[shoan120]

if this hasn't been said already, but if u look at the new screen lock feature, you should make the text input similar to that
