General / Running Attract Mode through Steam (RESOLVED)

« on: January 03, 2020, 05:48:13 PM »

I am attempting to run AttractMode through Steam as a non-steam application.

I am doing this so I can leverage Steam Controller profiles.

Unfortunately, when I go to launch any game it fails to do so, the log shows it running the command, but nothing happens.

Code: [Select]

- Working directory: U:\Emulation\MAME_LOVE
*** Running: U:\Emulation\MAME_LOVE\mame64.exe sokyugrt
 - Working directory: U:\Emulation\MAME_LOVE
*** Running: U:\Emulation\MAME_LOVE\mame64.exe s1945

When running AttractMode outside of Steam, everything launches properly.

Suggestions?

EDIT:
The problem lies within MAME, not AttractMode.  In order to launch MAME appropriately through stream you must use these commandline arguments.

Code: [Select]

-joystickprovider xinput -keyboardprovider win32

General / Filter vertical games MAME

« on: November 19, 2017, 05:20:56 PM »

Hi searching the internet I discovered a helpful guide(https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Example-filters#Vertical_SHMUPs) for filters where he uses this rule:

rule                 Rotation equals 90|270

Where is rotation defined?  If I use this with my xml/catver/player.ini it doesn't work because as far as I can tell no where is there a tag that says "Rotation".

EDIT: Nevermind I reloaded Attract Mode and it seems to be working now.  Maybe a conflict prior was causing issues.

How do we configure colors per system?

EDIT: Nevermind, oversight on my part.  The emulator case "MAME" wasn't reading correctly, I had to change it to "mame"  I guess the strings are case sensitive.  Fixed now!

Hey so i'm trying to use "expert mode" and adding my own emulator under the switch statement.

This is the code block:

        case Transition.ToNewList:
            switch ( fe.list.name )
            {             
      case "MAME":
                OBJECTS.logo.file_name = "";
      lt.set_bg_rgb( 155, 0, 40 );
      lb.set_bg_rgb( 155, 0, 40 );
      OBJECTS.gameListBox.set_selbg_rgb( 155, 0, 40 );
      OBJECTS.gameListList2.set_rgb( 155, 0, 40 );
                break;
      case "NES":
                OBJECTS.logo.file_name = "nes.png";
      lt.set_bg_rgb( 0, 150, 136 );
      lb.set_bg_rgb( 0, 150, 136 );
      OBJECTS.gameListBox.set_selbg_rgb( 0, 150, 136 );
      OBJECTS.gameListList2.set_rgb( 0, 150, 136 );
                break;
      case "retro snes":
                      OBJECTS.logo.file_name = "";
      lt.set_bg_rgb( 91, 56, 150 );
      lb.set_bg_rgb( 91, 56, 150 );
      OBJECTS.gameListBox.set_selbg_rgb( 91, 56, 150 );
      OBJECTS.gameListList2.set_rgb( 91, 56, 150 );
            break;   
         }

However when I load the emulator the color value isn't correct.  Once I switch to a different emulator it'll grab the correct color but that color is then used for every emulator.  Help!

Thanks

This is pretty much the exact type of theme i'm looking for.  Any update on time of release?
