Themes / Re: The Great Themes Collection v8.0 - It knows how to count games!

« on: October 18, 2020, 11:22:46 PM »

Yaron you are very fierce in the layout how do I implement this count in my themes ??  It's very good, congratulations👏👏👏👏

Pablo Picasso once said that "Good Artists Copy, Great Artists Steal". Well, I am a great artist as I have stolen adapted pcca-matrix's code for system game counting from the PCCA theme
I have also finally "discovered" the option to use modules and not just copy files into every layout folder like a monkey (one evolution at a time).
This was particularly useful with the on-screen keyboard search as it reduced the disk space the collection takes by about 80 MB and reduced the file count by a massive 4,171 files (56% reduction)!
I initially planned on customizing each search window per it's system but decided that the current look is great and that I'm not going to bother with it.

The system games count works in the following manner:
When launching AM with the version 8.0 of the Great Themes Collection, there will be an initial count. When you enter a system, if the initial count is different then the
actual number of games available, there will be a recount for that specific system. This is especially handy with systems like MAME where we usually have a bunch of filters
applied. In order to have this recount, make sure that the current filter is set to "All" (the default filter in AM). Any time the collection detects that the available games are
diferent then the last count (like when you add / remove games, or add / remove systems) there should be a recount when navigating through the systems
(in between systems or from a system to the main menu or vice versa). Why? because pcca-matrix has not written code yet for anything else and when he does I will be a great artist again!

I know that there are quite a few theme devs that wanted this feature so feel free to download the latest version and become great artists as well.

I also added some missing default cartart files to a few themes.

IMPORTANT: I recommend you delete your current Great Themes Collection layouts and copy the new layouts in order to profit from the reduction in disk space.
Also, you must copy from the included modules folder the 'gtc' and 'gtc-kb' folders to your attract\modules folder.

Cheers,
Yaron

Those who want to build additional themes for this collection, here are all the art files for each theme in xcf format (Gimp):
https://mega.nz/file/5JNXAQgb#CUo1xcZo5X_a7e43kXedLoVZEKhnGTJAaPYWAqqiABw



Instructions on how to use the collection:
-------------------------------------------------------
This is a theme collection for the Attract Mode front-end (v2.6.1).
It is best suited for wide screen displays.


Stage 1: Prepare the games roms and media for the emulated system
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download all the game roms and media and place them in folders of your choosing.
For example, for MAME, place the roms in  'C:\my_games\mame\roms'

You can download all the media you need from emumovies.com (wheel logos, videos, cart art, box art, etc)
In attract mode's 'menu-art' folder, create a folder for your system, example:
'C:\attract\menu-art\mame'

In this folder create the following folders:
C:\attract\menu-art\mame\wheel
C:\attract\menu-art\mame\videos
C:\attract\menu-art\mame\boxart
C:\attract\menu-art\mame\cartart

Copy the relevant files to each folder (wheel logos to 'wheel', snap videos to 'videos', etc).

Now you need to connect the emulator to the media. For each system attract mode has an emulator cfg file located in
...\attract\emulators

In our example it will be: C:\attract\emulators\mame.cfg
You can edit this file with notepad or from within attract mode's menu system. Here you will tell attract mode what emulator to use, where to find all the art, etc.

It should look something like this:

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.1
#
executable           E:/Arcade/Attract/apps/Mame/mame64nonag.exe
args                 [name]
rompath              E:/Arcade/Attract/apps/Mame/roms
romext               .zip;.chd
system               Arcade
info_source          listxml
exit_hotkey          Escape
artwork    marquee         c:/attract/menu-art/mame/marquee
artwork    snap            c:/attract/menu-art/mame/videos
artwork    wheel           c:/attract/menu-art/mame/wheel
artwork    boxart          c:/attract/menu-art/mame/boxart
artwork    flyer           c:/attract/menu-art/mame/flyer

As you can see, the "artwork" label tells attract mode to find wheel in 'c:/attract/menu-art/mame/wheel', snap (videos) in 'c:/attract/menu-art/mame/videos'
etc.

Replace the paths in the example to the ones you have, save and close the file.


Stage 2: Set up the collection as your themes of choice
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Copy the contents of the included layouts folder to your attract\layouts folder.
2. Copy the sounds, videos and letters folders to your main attract folder (where the attract.exe file is)
3. Copy the 'gtc' and 'gtc-kb' folders from the included modules folder to your attract attract\modules folder
4. Launch attract mode and assign the themes (layouts) that you want to the emulators you have:
Pressing 'Tab' will bring the main 'Configure' menu on screen. Then go to 'Displays', choose the display you want to configure by
pressing 'Enter' and choose a layout from the 'Layout' option (navigate the layouts list with up/down arrows or joystick).

Attract Mode should now know what emulators to use, where to find the art it needs and what theme to use for each system you assigned it for.


Performance
-----------------
If performance on low end systems such as the Pi is slow, you can improve it by disabling shader related options in the layout options menu:
- In the 'At-The-Arcade' layout series set "Enable CRT screen glow" to "No" and if that is not enough you can also set "Enable lighted marquee effect" to "No" as well.
- In the 'Hyperspin-Theme-Mode' layout series, set "Enable video shader effect" to "No".
- In any other layout (consoles, computers, handhelds), disable any bloom or glow effects, for example: set "Enable CRT bloom shader effect" to "No".


The themes included in this collection are best suited for wide screen displays
