Scripting / Re: ScrollingText module doesn't work?

« on: July 22, 2017, 05:43:15 PM »

earlier in the year this is what liquid8d had to say abought it when i asked the same Q:

"So the problem here is when I wrote this, there wasn't a way to get accurate length in pixels of the text, based on the font and text size. By default it attempts to guess at the length based on the length of the text and the charsize set. This might not be accurate especially if you are using magic token variables, so you might have to set a fixed width of the actual text object using scroller.fixed_width = ? - Of course, then it may cut off longer text so you will have to decide what works best for you.

There is supposed to be a way now in AM to get a measurement, but when I was testing it I couldn't get it to work properly."

scroller.fixed_width =
not tested!

i think it is not set up to use m-tokins

i notice if you use [DisplayName] it will only scroll the first letter
of the name.

i think the module needs to be updated, but liquid8 seems occupied
with his new online theme creator...

youtube https://youtu.be/pbKvj1Y95mg


been thinking though of adding the cartridges to it and making this just for nes and snes

this came to me as i was adding my "arcadesd" theme to my pi build and i thought
this realy works great for this rom set , but susck with others,,,    so this would be for my nintendo romsets

their are some good things to be said for theme continuity,, butt lately i think
i just want a completely diff theme for diff consoles ..  so it gives some Passion
im building one barcade and it might take foever but it will be mine and will be the shit!

« on: July 03, 2017, 10:41:10 AM »

this makes sence....
