I am having trouble following the instructions below for installing the xmedia Platinum skin. BTW, does this work with the latest version of GBPVR? My comments are in brackets.
1. Unzip XMEDIA_PV2_1.ZIP
2. Go inside the Desktop folder and copy all the shortcuts to your desktop screen
3. Unzip XMEDIA_PV2_2.ZIP
4. Go into the PLUGIN folder and copy all the plug-in to your GBPVR\PLUGINS
[What does this mean?]
5. Copy ULTRAID3LIB.DLL to GBPVR directory
6. Unzip P L A T I N U M.ZIP
7. Look into the P L A T I N U M for sub folders with the same name, make sure you take the one with the right folders
[Have no idea what this instruction means]
8. Copy ART folder or open the folder and copy and paste *.gif into your GBPVR\ART for XRecord Plug-in
[this is not clear to me either]
9. Copy the main P L A T I N U M folder with sub folders staring with archive to your GBPVR\SKIN directory
10. You should now have GBPVR\SKIN\P L A T I N U M folder
11. Start GBPVR CONFIG
12. IF you have MY PROGRAMS PLUG-IN installed go to step 17 otherwise step 12
[I don't; don't know what that is; this is step 12]
13. Select Plug-in, then click on MY PROGRAMS, then on settings, highlight Applications
[no idea about this instruction]
14. Add this line: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop (for username is what you used to login into Windows)
15. Check Startup with Applications
16. Click okay
17. Click Okay
18. Click on GBPVR
As you can see I am pretty ignorant about skins and plugins, but I would like to learn. The wiki is woefully lacking in basic instructions on how to install and configure skins and plugins esp. for novices. Is there any resource that I can use to come up to speed on using skins and plugins?
