General / Re: Help to compile attract-mode in windows 10 64bits

« on: June 07, 2018, 10:07:45 AM »

What Mickelson could do - or another person who knows, can and wants to do it - is to make a "nightly" version and upload it to the server. That has not had any version for a long time.

More than anything because having the "per_playlist" option is very important. And to know when the next version of attract-mode will be available...

Sorry for my very bad english.

Themes / Re: New feature. Allow user to select which .nut file to use from layout config

« on: June 04, 2018, 12:14:30 PM »

I just contacted Mickelson on GitHub and he told me that the only way to make the per_display work is to compile the version we are developing on our own or wait for the new version of attract mode.

And I have already tried to compile attracmode 3 times on my own in windows 10, but I have not managed it.

I have put the errors that come to me in the forum, but nobody answers me

Sorry, my english is very, very, very bad

General / Help to compile attract-mode in windows 10 64bits

« on: June 03, 2018, 04:09:53 AM »

I have followed these steps of compile.md without error messages:

Install MSYS2 https://msys2.github.io/

In the MSYS2 console:

Code: [Select]


pacman --needed -Sy bash pacman pacman-mirrors msys2-runtime

pacman -S git mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain msys/make mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-sfml mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libarchive

git clone https://github.com/mickelson/attract attract

cd attract


And when I run make, it gives me these errors (my system is Spanish):

Code: [Select]

$ make

/bin/sh: pkg-config: no se encontró la orden
/bin/sh: pkg-config: no se encontró la orden

TRANS:

no se encontró la orden --> the order was not found

No se encontró el programa --> The program was not found

I need help, please.

The selected game not is ever in the center of the list.

Themes / Re: New feature. Allow user to select which .nut file to use from layout config

« on: June 02, 2018, 03:41:49 AM »

I'm using the Orbit layout.
And "per_display" does not work for me.

In attract.cfg, change what changes in each layout of the Orbit, it only saves me the one applied to the last change

Code: [Select]

layout_config Orbit
param                bg_image
param                count 5
param                enable_bloom Yes
param                orbit_art marquee
param                spin_ms 120
param                static_effect Yes

Do we have to do more than put per_display = "true" in the config?

Code: [Select]

</ label="Orbit Artwork", help="The artwork to spin into orbit", options="marquee,flyer,wheel", order=1, per_display="true" />
orbit_art="marquee";

I have tried with Reflect layout and it does not keep the different displays either.

I am using attract-mode 2.3.0 for windows 64bits. Another version is needed? Which?

In nightly builds I only see olders versions.

Scripting / Wrong code

« on: June 02, 2018, 02:37:59 AM »

In my layout this code works perfectly:

Code: [Select]


// Hand Held
local artwork = fe.add_image("hh/[Emulator].png", flx*0.52, fly*0.4,  flw*0.260, flh*0.462);
artwork.preserve_aspect_ratio = true;

// Boxart
local box = FadeArt("boxart", flx*0.52, fly*0.6,  flw*0.130, flh*0.231);
box.preserve_aspect_ratio = true;
box.trigger = Transition.EndNavigation;


But if I add these modifications ("Watch & Game" is an emulator), it does not work:

Code: [Select]


local myboxart = "[Emulator]";

if (myboxart == "Watch & Game")
{
// Boxart
local box = FadeArt("boxart", flx*0.52, fly*0.6,  flw*0.130, flh*0.231);
box.preserve_aspect_ratio = true;
box.trigger = Transition.EndNavigation;
}
else
{
// Hand Held
local artwork = fe.add_image("hh/[Emulator].png", flx*0.52, fly*0.4,  flw*0.260, flh*0.462);
artwork.preserve_aspect_ratio = true;
}


Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Themes / LCD Theme version 08/2018

« on: May 27, 2018, 05:56:41 AM »

LCD Theme for Attract-Mode 2.4
Version 08/2018


08/22/2018: Built-in Modules.
08/19/2018: Added the liquid8d's keyboard-search module.

Designed for All Systems

It carries:

• 42 Icons for the categories or genres of games.
• 15 Animated Markers (and one static: Frame).
• 137 System Logos.

Essential:

You do not need to use any Attract-Mode module, the ones you need already have them incorporated.

You can choose:

• Set the selector type: arc wheel, vertical wheel, list, listbox or all randomly.
• Select the animated marker of the list: Frame, Bub, Cacodemon, Donkey, Imp, Lara, Marco, Mario, Megaman, Pac-man, Radiation, Rayman, Spiral, Sun, World, Ying-Yang or all randomly.
• Set the alignment of the lists: left, right or centre.
• Set how to hide selectors: move or fade.
• Time of a wheels transition (in milliseconds).
• The time(in milliseconds) that it takes for the wheels and lists to hide. Set to 0 for not hide.
• Use marquees or show System in the up right lcd.
• Set Artwork above the icons frame: Flyers, Wheels or none.
• Use System Logos or not.
• Use the icons of the genres of games or not (the genre is always indicated with text).
• Set the icons laguage of the genres of games: english or spanish.
• Use scanlines in display screen or not.
• Display a clock with local time or not.
• The key to initiate a search.
• The search method.

With the 2.4 Attract-Mode version and above, customizing individually for each system (display).

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.

Well, you better see it:

Themes / roboesp theme, in spanish.

« on: May 27, 2018, 05:18:50 AM »

Many spanish fans pass through this forum, so here i leave the theme "roboesp", which is based on the original omegaman robospin.

It has, among others, the following changes:

- All texts and options are in Spanish.
- Changed some wallpaper options.
- Changed the spinwheels system for another that occupies less screen and has more options.
- Changed the system of using wheels or marquees.
- You can choose the number of wheels per type of spinweel (vertical or curve).
- You can choose the number of lines when you choose the list of games instead of the spinwheel.
- You can choose the alignment (justification) of the list of games (left, right, center).
- Eliminated the random color system (sometimes colors came out that did not show anything).
- Removed the icons that were used to indicate the category and the manufacturer of the games.
- Removed the pointers that indicate the wheel (this is not the Hyperspin, although it seems a lot).
- New information system only text, with the name or all data.
- The front of the marquee is painted black before using the marquee, so that transparent marquees can be used.
- The logo of the system used is always visible (there are 129 logos available).

Two screenshots:

 If there was much interest in it, i could do the translation into english, but, in principle, i have no intention.

It is a video that I love and I upload it to youtube because I do not remember or where I got it, nor looking for youtube I found it again.

I would like to know the origin of the video and especially where the music came from, I do not identify it with anything.

Let's see if someone gives me some information.

Thanks in advance.

Solved:

Code: [Select]

local my_film = randInt(6);
my_film = my_film.tostring() + ".png";
local film = fe.add_image("posters/films/" + my_film, 0, 0, 0, 0);

Thank you very much.
