Themes / Re: Arcadeflow theme v 17.2 [Release] Updated 22 April 2024

« Last post by Maccy on Today at 08:15:04 AM »

Hi,

i've tried to take a look at older posts but I didn't find any clue on what's going on. I've extracted ArcadeFlow 17.1 (same error with 17.2) in "layouts" folders in a AttractMode 2.7.0 installation folder but I can't make it working. Other themes, like the Nevato one, are working.

Here is the error:

Code: [Select]

C:\EMULATION\Arcade\Frontend\AttractMode>attract
Attract-Mode v2.7.0 (Windows, SFML 2.5.1 +SWF +7z +Curl)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Themes / SlidyMenu

« Last post by markc74 on Yesterday at 10:49:58 AM »

Working on a new displays menu. No release at the moment as the code is really bad in places - most elements are hard coded so adding stuff is a pain. Consider this just a preview for feedback.

It's come about as I don't really like the default systems menu as you seem to be scrolling for a while to get what you're looking for. I know we can add submenus but it still wasn't what I wanted.

The idea of this menu is that you can create your own sections and how you want each system categorised.

Any feedback gladly received, and if peeps can keep an eye on the scripting forum and can help me with some of the coding problems I'm hitting that would be handy too!

Scripting / Re: Override select control on a layout

« Last post by markc74 on May 02, 2024, 09:38:43 AM »

I worked it out 

Seems like function on_signal( signal_str ) did the trick... 

Another problem though - or actually a question - is it possible to write values somewhere when using the display menu (or any layout) ?

I want to store the state of elements on the layout on exit so that when it is reloaded they appear where they were from the previous time the menu was shown. If this sounds confusing let me know and I'll post a video of what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks in advance!

Scripting / Override select control on a layout

« Last post by markc74 on May 02, 2024, 04:11:52 AM »

Hi all. I'm working on a display menu layout where I want to override the default SELECT control with my own function.

I want to do something different when I press the select button, but at the moment when I try to this it simply loads the display it thinks I want anyway.

Any ideas?
