ya the magic tokins
[DisplayName][FilterName]
are not displayed,  all the others are like [Emulator], [Name], ext...are because your calling .info

this is because their is no scraped or add info for this category  [DisplayName] @t       romlists>snes.cfg
ie:#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra;Buttons

ya this is working , for uppercase,
but.
it is dropping the magic tokin of  [!Players] at the end of it.

Code: [Select]

function title(){
  local text = fe.game_info(Info.Title );
  local text = fe.game_info(Info.Title );
  return text.toupper();
}
local title = fe.add_text("[!title] PLAYERS   [!Players] ", flx*0.185, fly*0.080, flw*0.300, flh*0.500 );
title.charsize = 47;
title.alpha = 255;
title.font="mad";
title.set_rgb( 255, 0, 0 );
title.align = Align.Left;
title.rotation = ( 90 );


//*********************************************************


function title(){
  local text = fe.game_info(Info.Title);
  return text.toupper();
}
local title = fe.add_text("[!title]", flx*0.185, fly*0.080, flw*0.300, flh*0.500 );
title.charsize = 47;
title.alpha = 255;
title.font="mad";
title.set_rgb( 255, 255, 0 );
title.align = Align.Left;
title.rotation = ( 90 );

When I made it I think I set my snaps as video,     you can edit it in the theme
or go to emulators> snes 
And edit your .cfg to

IE:  video                   c:/am/snaps

Scripting / Re: Case Select sound issue

« on: October 07, 2017, 06:07:20 AM »

well as it apears it is built in to AM allready,
all you need to do is go in to your am.config and add
this one line.


sound
   sound_volume         40
   ambient_volume       20
   movie_volume         30
   select               intro.mp3
   displays_menu        01 - Hey You.mp3


ie: intro.mp3  =  your.mp3 in the layout

and it will play when you select your system or game.

« on: September 25, 2017, 06:23:55 PM »

on that added note...a selection is technically the end of the system menu

so this should work    .EndLayout



function start_theme( ttype, var, ttime ) {
 switch ( ttype ) {
  case Transition..EndLayout:
              local sound = fe.add_sound("intro.mp3");
         sound.playing=true;
  break;
  }
 return false;
}
fe.add_transition_callback( "start_theme" );

you could just put a starting sound that is unique upon entrance to each theme..

this is what i have used.

Code: [Select]

function start_theme( ttype, var, ttime ) {
 switch ( ttype ) {
  case Transition.StartLayout:
              local sound = fe.add_sound("intro.mp3");
      sound.playing=true;
  break;
  }
 return false;
}
fe.add_transition_callback( "start_theme" );

i know its not the answer you were looking for butt just another way of getting a similar effect.
