Themes / Re: [download] NEVATO theme
« on: May 12, 2019, 04:41:00 AM »
I was playing with it again last night, changed to nevato theme, AM froze as expected, then as I tried to force quit the app I found that pressing CTRL + ALT + F2 switched me to a shell login screen prompt...

Code: [Select]
GroovyArcade 2019 (tty2)
GroovyArcade login:

Pressing CTRL + ALT + F1 switches me back to AM and it is no longer frozen!

Leaving it on AM, it seems to no longer freeze like before. If I run a game then quit the game, AM freezes again after 10-20 seconds.

Doing the CTRL + ALT + F2 trick unfreezes AM and keeps it unfrozen till I run another game.

So, it would appear that AM is not crashing after all, but something is maybe causing it to lose focus?

I have tried setting AM with all the different window modes in 'settings / general' to no effect.

Hmm. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone? Bueller?

Thank you for your reply verion

I am using a discreet ATI HD (4000 i think) which is compatible with GA.

I tried setting the video as background but get the same issue, which is weird because Cools theme uses background video and is fine.

I also tried running just a few titles in the library (clean install) and same problem with freezing.

I did try converting a couple of videos to another mp4 format, but still got the problem. I'll try XVID though.

I have checked running processes via TOP remote terminal command while nevato was running and CPU usage was low. 5-10%.

Is there any log I could check to see what is causing AM to freeze?

Hi Verion

Thank you for your hard work, I love this theme! Sadly it seems to crash AM if I enable videos in the cab screen, or background.

I'm running GroovyArcade 2019 (latest build) on an i5 PC and a 20" CRT TV.

I'm only using MAME and have everything setup and working perfectly.

If I use Cools theme, it doesn't crash/hang at all. This theme plays the video snap in the background.

If I enable nevato theme, AM becomes totally unresponsive after 10-20 seconds. It totally locks up/freezes.

Killing AM and then disabling video in nevato theme solves the problem, but then the theme is less appealing to me.

I have tried nevato on a clean install of GA2019 and also a fresh attract.cfg file too but get the same problem.

I have tried AM on my iMac and do not get this problem, only on the GA machine.

How can I troubleshoot this?

Cheers all

Hi all

Can anyone help me change the font colour on Verticools please? I have removed some text from the original and also change the default font.

I just can't see the selected game and also the top list text as they are black now.

Attached a pic and my nuts!  ;D

https://github.com/mickelson/attract/blob/master/config/layouts/Verticools/layout.nut

Lines 101-104 control listbox text color and fade opacity. Line 106 creates the text objects, sets the index, and sets opacity of each object accordingly.

Line 119 contains filter color.

Not sure what you changed. Didn’t look at your included files. But hopefully me pointing out the spots on the original file can help.

Thanks very much dude!  Have got it sorted now. 8)

This is really useful, thank you very much.  ;D

Is there any way I can sort the resulting .txt file by the Game Title rather than romfilename?
Space Invaders for example appears in the 'I's (invaders.zip).
I'm sure Excel can probably do it, but I'm not sure how...

Lastly, is it possible to add the Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra;Buttons info easily to this .txt file?

Would make for some interesting filters.  8)

Thanks again dude. :)

For some reason I can no longer find the .nut file for verticools?  What am I missing?

Just found it!

/opt/retropie/supplementary/attractmode/share/attract/layouts

Was driving me .nut(s) too.  ;D
