And considering that I hate videotutoriales in Spanish... well I do not add more...
Why is that? Just curious.

Because most of youtube tutorials are very bad and only serve to waste time ... For a good one, there are a hundred bad ...

It is what has any "smartass" can make a video in two minutes counting any nonsense with minimal effort.

thanks. there is no solution. I could use images with text to be placed on the screen...

Between creating images or pasting a text in the penultimate ";" of the romlists I think there is a difference of work ...

But hey, everyone takes the solution that seems ...

They taught me how to do things as well as I could, but now people are going to do things with whatever it costs them the least effort. And I do not say it for keilmillerjr, I say it in general.

In addition, everyone can do what they want.

And considering that I hate videotutoriales in Spanish... well I do not add more...

Video explaining the two items above: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYHsAk4_EIw

The videos explaining things in English, are a bad idea for those of us from non-English speaking countries... Thank you very much...  ???

Themes / iomenu, Theme to create the Main System Menu (full)
« on: August 11, 2018, 08:12:22 AM »
iomenu Theme for Systems Menu.

Well, I've still finished it, although basically I only lack the texts of most systems, the system works quite well.

I am Basque and Spanish, so the descriptions texts that appear, of course, are in Spanish.
If I had found the files with the texts in English, i would have put them, but i only found games, not systems.

Attract-Mode 2.4 is needed, with the previous ones it will not work correctly.

You can see it here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cci4v6E-u4

The first menu, the main one, can not be modified or put options, at least that I know, works with the options set by default in the theme layout.

In the following menus, the options to choose are two, if the wheel is hidden or not after a few seconds, and the type of information to be displayed:
  • Basic: that's when the video goes full screen and you see in the lower right corner, some basic data of the system.
  • Complete: It is when the video is placed in the upper right and below the details and system information appear.
  • None: When only the system video appears.
Here you have the theme, the attract.cfg, the plugin, the romlists and the site where I got the videos:

https://mega.nz/#!Lw1WnazR!RLgvom45dgsbDZrCofDHWUG9e1Si21zWsewX_vMbwMA



All this is very personalized, but I'm sure you can adapt it to your systems, and if not, you can always ask me to see if I can help you.  8)

And if you think of something interesting to add to the theme, then tell me, to see if it can be done...  :P

Buuuffff, this question is a good question... :D

There are those who have achieved it with Overviews, i have tried it, but i have not succeeded, in the end, i chose to use the Extra field of the romlist.

If you are interested, this is my WIP project of systems menu: iomenu theme --> http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=2370.0

New version, look firs post.  8)

For those interested in the shuffle lists and their animations, see my new code, more refined than the previous one, reducing its size very significantly.

Scripting / Re: Filter when filling an array
« on: August 10, 2018, 01:27:03 PM »
Luckily i alone have found the solution, otherwise...

Code: [Select]
local dir = DirectoryListing(system_rom_path);

foreach(dir_name in dir.results)
{
if(dir_name.find(sel_game)!= null)
{

// strip m3u
local f = txt.loadFile(dir_name);
local aa = [];
local i = 1;

foreach(line in f.lines)
{
// track
local l = split(line, "\\"); // split path-file for "/"
local name = strip(l.pop().slice(0, -4)); // only filename, without ext
local folder = strip(l.pop());            // path folder
local f = split(folder, "-");
local n = split(name, "-");
local album = strip(f[1]);
local artist = strip(n[1]);
local title = strip(n[2]);

aa.push(
{
"filename" : line,
"folder" : folder,
"title" : title,
"album" : album,
"artist" : artist
});
i++;
}
music_db.push(aa);
}
}

Hi!
How can I add system info/specs (console gen, year, cpu...) in system menu and make them update accordingly as I navigate throughout the systems?

Hi. I need the same info. (i want to add number of game too)
Thanks

This thread is old, you should open a new thread on this topic ...

Well I do not like it, the selector always stays in the center. I should go changing the slot.  And the background is not animated. 8)

In any case, thank you for your contribution. :D

Scripting / Pause in the wheel
« on: August 08, 2018, 05:53:19 AM »
With this code the wheel (conveyor) of the layout fades when you stop moving it.

What I want to do is that, between the fact that the wheel stopped moving and that it started to disappear, it will be x milliseconds.

Code: [Select]

first_tick <- 0;
stop_fading <- true;
my_delay <- 600;

function wheel_a_fade_transition(ttype, var, ttime)
{
if(ttype == Transition.ToNewSelection)
first_tick = -1;
}
fe.add_transition_callback("wheel_a_fade_transition");

function wheel_a_alpha(ttime)
{
if(first_tick == -1)
{
stop_fading = false;
}

if(!stop_fading)
{
local elapsed = 0;

if(first_tick > 0)
{
elapsed = ttime - first_tick;
}

local count = conveyor.m_objs.len();

for(local i=0; i < count; i++)
{
if(elapsed > 0)
{
if(i == count/2)
{
conveyor.m_objs[i].alpha =(255 *(my_delay - elapsed)) / my_delay;
}
else
{
conveyor.m_objs[i].alpha =(150 *(my_delay - elapsed)) / my_delay;
}
}
}

if(elapsed > my_delay)
{
stop_fading = true;
}

if(first_tick == -1)
{
first_tick = ttime;
}
}

}
fe.add_ticks_callback("wheel_a_alpha");



Any suggestions?

General / Re: Unable to launch MAME roms from Nevato (WinXP 32-bit)
« on: August 08, 2018, 02:38:37 AM »
No offense taken - willing to give it a try. This computer lives in a MAME upright cabinet, so I just set it up quickly.  The exact same configuration (paths, OS, etc) worked before - stumped as to why Nevato (and Robospin) won't start games anymore..

I use relative paths ... maybe it would be a solution, but it is not easy and less with your configuration, see an example:

For MAME (Data East Classics), the attract mode path: E:\arcade\attract\attract.exe

Normal Paths:
Code: [Select]
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.0.0
#
executable           E:\arcade\systems\mame\mamearcade64.exe
args                 [name]
rompath              E:\arcade\systems\mame\roms
romext               .zip;.7z;<DIR>
system               Data East Classics
info_source          arcade.accdb
# exit_hotkey        Escape
artwork flyer        E:\arcade\systems\mame\flyer;E:\arcade\systems\mame\titles
artwork marquee      E:\arcade\systems\mame\marquee
artwork snap         E:\arcade\systems\mame\snap
artwork wheel        E:\arcade\systems\mame\wheel

Relative paths:

Code: [Select]
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.0.0
#
executable           \arcade\systems\mame\mamearcade64.exe
args                 [name]
rompath              ..\..\arcade\systems\mame\roms
romext               .zip;.7z;<DIR>
system               Data East Classics
info_source          arcade.accdb
# exit_hotkey        Escape
artwork flyer        ..\..\arcade\systems\mame\flyer;..\..\arcade\systems\mame\titles
artwork marquee      ..\..\arcade\systems\mame\marquee
artwork snap         ..\..\arcade\systems\mame\snap
artwork wheel        ..\..\arcade\systems\mame\wheel

With the relative paths i can use AM on the disk i want.

Announcements / Re: Version 2.4 sneaking in!
« on: August 08, 2018, 02:25:14 AM »
I need an AM 2.4 version for Mac Os X Mountain Lion 10.8.4, please...

Mountain Lion, now, does not let install the homebrew. If someone had it installed before, would be so kind to compile a version for Mountain Lion ...

It would also be good for someone to tell me how to install the homebrew now. I already installed xcode and command line, but the instructions of the homebrew forum to install it in Mountain Lion does not work ...

leaving aside your problem and without trying to offend you, I'll tell you that your paths seem the worst choice that can be made on a PC:  8)

On disk C:, only the operating system. The data always in another. The viruses damage the system in C:, but your data, and in this case, your AM system would survive.

If you only have one hard drive, make two partitions, the s.o. to C: and data to D: (For example the aimp music player in C:\Program files\aimp\aimp.exe and the music in D:\my_music\files.mp3. The first site where a malware will go to erase your music will be in C:\Users\user\music and C:\my music  ;D).

And if you do not know how to do it, or do not want to, at least do not put anything on the desktop other than shortcuts. Your system will thank you and go more fluid. The desk is the worst place in the world to store anything. It is as if all the furniture in your house you put in the hall of the house

Best choice: D:\Attract

Worst choice: C:\Attract

Bad idea C:\users\user\desktop\Attract

Very bad idea C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\Attract

Now, everyone in their house does what they want...  ;)
