Title: show number of games on display
Post by: lordricker on January 17, 2020, 07:15:29 AM

kinda new to this. So I have been messing around with some layouts to get it the way I want it. What I would like to happen is the number of entries to show up on the display, I got the display name to show up since that info was already in the layout.nut but I'm not sure how to pull the entries number from attract mode?
attached picture file to help explain

It would show on the layout, like looking at the right picture it would display “168 shootups” instead of just shootups

this is just in the corner of the basic theme...

just modify as needed

Code: [Select]

l = fe.add_text( "[ListEntry]/[ListSize]", 320, 424, 290, 16 );
l.set_rgb( 200, 200, 70 );
l.align = Align.Right;
so for you

l = fe.add_text( "[ListEntry] Shooters", 320, 424, 290, 16 );
l.set_rgb( 200, 200, 70 );
l.align = Align.Right;

What if we wanted to show that info on the displays menu?
