Scripting / Re: Need Help...display an image when you press a button

« on: May 01, 2017, 05:56:43 PM »

This is a neat plugin.

Question / Idea:

Modify the plugin to load folder's worth of images (or, better yet, a zip/cbz of images) that are named/ordered numerically (01.jpg - 09.jpg for instance) into an array or whatever and then display them / navigate through them with left/right.

You'd essentially have a game instruction booklet popup plugin that way.

My idea of workflow:
-Set custom key for plugin to "M" (non-hold)
-Load contents of folder/zip into memory, path based on current rom name (much like snap/wheel artwork)
-Display image 1 (or a default 'no content' image if folder/zip empty/nonexistent)
-Left / Right scrolls through images sequentially
-"M" again closes.

Scripting / Re: Launch "pdf-reader" from layout.nut

You and I want to do the EXACT same thing.

Optimally, I'd like to have a second script that detects the presence of a PDF and either shows/hides a little "manual available" (thinking a booklet) icon over the theme as you scroll through the romset.  Launch manual (PDF Reader app) with 'm' hotkey (or whatever), default action is run game.
