Hi,
Anyone know if it's possible to change the beat counter into a bar counter?
I know I can set it to 64 & divide it by 4 to get my answer but I rather see a real bar counter
Thx

Should be possible to have that (or even a hybrid 1.1, 1.2 etc ) with skinning, something roughly like (not actual script here)
beatcounter 1 ? return 1 : beatcounter 2 ? return 1 : beatcounter 3 ? return 1 : beatcounter 4 ? return 1 : beatcounter 5 ? return 2 : etc etc
This is just a rough bodge at it I'll bet there'll be many ways, it could be done.
(You could set_bpm 25% and then BPM becomes Bars PM, silly I know :-) )

Ask on the skinning board, I have a hunch maybe a custom button could keep count of the bars (maybe)

The new Rekordbox has a small counter that goes 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.1 and so on.
There are also beat grid lines which are red at the start of each bar, and blue for beat 2-4.

In fact I think I remember seeing a skin with something (graphical) that kept track of Bars, I think it was a V8 skin too.

Well, tbh, I prefer to keep the original skin & just modify the beatcounter to a barcounter.. kinda love that skin

When you say "beat counter" are you referring to the circular things or the oblong blocks?
The code for the blocks is set in the XML to go to bar 1, 2, 3 & 4. (except it's actually going to beats, not bars).
Maybe it'd do what you want if it was changed to go to bar (beat) 1, 5, 9 & 13?

He means the numbers, hence him saying "change to 64 & / 4"

any idea where the {internal} skin files are saved to?
Don't see them in the skins map
To any mod, not gonna make a new thread in the skin section, feel free to move this thread, tyvm

The internal skin is literally inside the exe file. There's an xml and png embedded.

I guess this means I can't easly modify it?

Wrong use of words there dasouth the 'internal skin' is a just in case things get screwed up. You can't edit it, what you want is the default skins, (easily editable)
Held somewhere like here
C:\Users\YourMachineName\Documents\VirtualDJ\Skins

yea, there are a few skins there but not the internal one or a copy from that to edit.
I also can't find theinternal one on the skin download page

The internal skin is inside the program you can't edit it, you want to edit the skins held inside, VirtualDJ 8.zip (same skins just not internal) and then pick this (set of skins) from the interface panel.

Looks like 2 deck.xml line 828 is one of the wheres
<text size="14" color="#aaaaaa" align="center" weight="bold" action="get_beat_counter"/>
I'd guess the action needs changing, but I am honestly not sure, I'll have a quick tweak.

I'm an electrician and while I didn't get an error I couldn't get it to work, one of the skin markers should have an idea.
On a side note/rant, ITS A BLOODY Computer program it should be able to handle simple maths! /rant
