hi there,

do you have your original milk_img.ini and milk_msg.ini files?
(i guess so)

rename them to: milk2_img.ini and milk2_msg.ini
an put them in the plugins directory.
should be something like: "C:\Program Files\Winamp\plugins"

there are actualy milk2_img.ini and milk2_msg.ini files in there after the installation. maybe the buttons havn't been updated to the new names.
the syntax in the files hasn't been changes as far as I can tell. mean: evereythin that has worked with 1.04 does work with 2.0.
except for this little issue: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....hreadid=279521
please, if you can, verify this issue or tell me, that it works for you.

there is another thing...
images specified in the milk2_img.ini file are relative to the winamp\plugins\milkdrop2\ directory.
(an explanation is in the original milk2_img.ini)

PS: I've just checked: the buttons try to open the old files, without the 2 in the name.

Hi, I have thes ame problem. Windows XP SP2. Winamp 5.5.
The milk2_img.ini and milk2_msg.ini are not installed and i click on 'Edit Sprite' and 'Edit Custom Message' (in MilkDrop 2 Configuration) but got messages

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
error in ShellExecute

I have tried renaming the milk2_img.ini to milk_img.ini with no success.

What is strange is that I have edited the text in the ini and the msg is still diplayed with the old text!
for instance 03 will show "Cheese" unedited. when I change Cheese to Hello.. and press F7 to reread. It STILL says cheese. Ive rebooted, looked for other milk*_msg.ini, REMOVED milk*_msg.ini but it STILL shows tha tsame text.. is this Hardcoded?
Please help, this is driving me nuts.

please ignore the edit-bla buttons, they refer to the wrong file. in the initial 2.0 version. (is there a fix yet?)

where are you looking for the files?
they should bei in:
c:/program files/winamp/plugins/
at least in the same directory where the vis_milk2.dll is.
try searching for the dll on your harddrive, maybe you find the ini-files along with it.
I've checked it: when the msg.ini file is not present, there are no messages.
so, yours has to be someware.

the milk_msg.txt was in (Hidden)
c:\documents and settings\adminitsrator\Local Settings\Application Data\winamp\plugins\

just try any windings or other symbol font and check if you see symbols or letters.

Hey guys, sorry, that was a dumb bug - the two buttons on the config panel (edit sprites, edit custom images) were linked to the old (milkdrop 1) ini files, milk_msg and milk_img.ini.

The next release of winamp will have MilkDrop 2.0a which fixes this - they'll open milk2_img and milk2_msg.ini.

The version you have now, though, will work fine, just manually edit the milk2 files, they are there.

** NOTE that in milkdrop 2, the files are stored in your 'personal' plugins folder, not in the main one!:

c:\documents and settings\<yourusername>\Local Settings\Application Data\winamp\plugins\

The advance user (es. Milkdrop) work fine only with administrator user.
Install inside an administrator user and run inside the some user.
