Scripting / Re: Scale Animation issue

« on: October 20, 2017, 10:48:23 AM »

hey kent!

i also tried something with Timing Animation and had absolutely no Chance to fix the Situation you also seem to discovered:

in your Video:
Holding down a key for longer to go through games fast will fail animations or even conditions in tick callback. My variables should Change on tickcallback but do not if i hold a key to scroll through games and release it afterwards.
i didnt know a solution and tried VERY Long. no Chance.

Scripting / Re: animation pulse not working?

« on: October 15, 2017, 03:11:03 AM »

thx 4 your answer kent!

i tried everything. theres no error produced. cant get pulse working.
did a Workaround. Using TickCallback and check if Alpha is 0. then resetting to 255.
i dont like Workarounds. but ok.

Scripting / animation pulse not working?

« on: October 08, 2017, 07:33:09 AM »

Ahoi!
try to do a pulsating selection Frame, it only runs once:

local flicker_anim = {
   when = When.Always,
    property = "alpha", time=300,
    start = 255, end = 0,
    loop = 1, pulse = 1
}

local frame2 = gamegrid_surface.add_image("frame.selected.2.png", 0, 0, 240 220); frame.alpha = 255;

animation.add( PropertyAnimation( frame2, flicker_anim ) );

does anyone had the Problem? or knows my fault?

thx!

cool. nice help. tested the function. works. but with that i have to Change a lot of my Code. i also updated always my fe.list.index. and that also loads the hole Images again . Perhaps i will do that correction.
i think i also should use the normal grid theme but am to lazy to get into it

thanks anyway.

thanks.
i tryed now the performance with downloaded flyers from progetto. the performance is a disaster. i think my code sux hard.
not efficient. perhaps someone can tell me if the
image.swap
function helps in performance? didn't use it. i only update the index_offset of every 15 images. i think attractmode loads then every time the same images again?

the Normal Grid Layout has much better performance with flyers. tested it.

Hi Yes I'm trying it on a RPi3, hope that helps.

I changed the display to GridNew and it brings up large vert scrolling text.

Running latest Attract Mode and Retropie 4.2

OK. the big list shows normally up when a big error in the script is produced.
i only can help with the error information of u. sorry. can u see the console in any way in Raspi?

hi. can u give me the attractmode console log?
do u use raspi?

This theme is not for multiple displays. i only use it for my mame display. in the config for my "mame" display settings i set "GridNew". perhaps this is a problem?
but your log would be helpful.

Make it compatible with Flyer (Game Posters) and it will be awesome!

UPDATE:
i tried but the speed is then too bad. my code has to be more efficient.
<------- OK. MY FLYERS .JPG are CORRUPT. That's why i had lags and bad speed!. so u can change it and works with flyers.

u can test it easy with changing one word in layout.nut at line 40:

      art.push(gamegrid_surface.add_artwork("snap", a*SPACEX+80, i*SPACEY+110, 200, 250));

change "snap" to "flyer". thats it.

Scripting / Re: Any one know the code of this grid sliding effect?

« on: April 26, 2017, 08:01:01 AM »

coool. i also have a solution.
only thing is that my animation scrolling up and down is a bit sloppy.

anyone can look in my messy code:
http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=1644.0

my solution: don't wait for animation and THEN update art. i now update art and set my grid some pixel down and THEN animate it the same pixel back.
