There's a lot of good themes, but you could try one of the newer ones that was released called "Frostbite". It's pretty simple and easy to set up

General / Re: Daily Windows Build available.

« on: September 07, 2018, 03:03:29 AM »

I've setup a daily build for windows executables (32 and 64 bit)  and it updates nightly at 12:05 est (GMT -5).

http://www.svfdtn.com/attract/attract-daily.zip

If there is a problem with me doing this, please let me know, but some people seem to have a hard time getting the windows cross compile going and I thought this would be easier.


Later,

Really appreciate this, but as it was also mentioned before, the zip file is growing very fast with too many files inside

Themes / Re: HyperPie2 Theme [V2 Released]

Calle81, you're always on top of things and add the latest cool features to your HP2 layout. If there were an award for most layout options, HP2 would win it. Sometimes this can be a double edged sword, advance AM users have no problems but newer AM users might be confused or overwhelmed with all the layout.nut files and options. Maybe consider a ReadMe.txt or instructions for less advance and newer users.

P.S. I'm surprised you don't have onscreen controller navigation options... you have everything else. LOL. I'm only kidding but if you do want them, they do exist. (PM me or search older layouts on forum if you have interest)

Keep up the great work!

Agreed. I was rather overwhelmed with all of the options on this theme and a bit confused too. However, it's an amazing theme!

keilmillerjr seems to be on holidays or missing in action... 

Not missing in action. I noticed he was on attractmode's discord site earlier today

The menus are part of the theme. But (if Andrew agrees) the goal is to refresh the whole AM menu system in the future, because it feels a bit ancient. This is just one of the ideas for it.

Very much agree with you that it's time for the whole AttractMode menu system to be overhauled and given a proper facelift.    And if the (new) menu system looked anything at all like this theme, it would be great!

Great theme! Are the new menus included in attractmode, or only part of this theme?

Some room redesign:

A nice (more) modern design, and I really like the bedroom window in your version of this theme. However, some of the PlayStation seems to be floating in the air and I would make the television a little bigger too

Scripting / Re: Starting picture when launching game

« on: March 30, 2018, 07:17:12 PM »

I was following this message thread and decided to try it out too but I can't seem to make it work.

For example, for the game Ms. Pac-Man, I have a flyer with the name "mspacman.png" in the folder "C:\attractmode\scraper\mame\title\" but it's not showing up on the screen. Also, I edited the plugin with "shade = fe.add_artwork("title", 0, 0, fe.layout.width, fe.layout.height);"

Any tips or pointers?

As far as I know, this option is not available in AttractMode, however if you're using RocketLauncher, a middleware frontend which can be used together with AttractMode, it can be done

As much as I like some of the other ones out there, AttractMode is still the best! The smoothest, snappy, and most dynamic of them all
