It's been nearly a year since this was shown.  Any chance you can release what you have so that folks can see how you did different things?

This is never coming out, is it?

Scripting / Current display name WITHOUT using magic token?

« on: April 01, 2017, 10:17:54 AM »

I'm trying to uppercase the first letter of [DisplayName] and I keep getting all lower case letters.  The issue seems to be when AttractMode is evaluating the magic token.

I found another thread about it here but I can't get the solution posted to work.  I think because he is using fe.game_info and that's not a magic token.

I've tried fe.list.name - but it doesn't dynamically update and it always holds the same value.

As a workaround, I'm trying to see if there is there a way to get the currently selected display name WITHOUT using a magic token?  Is this possible?  If so, how?

Is this theme dead?

Spinelli could you post the files somewhere?  I'd like to take a crack at it.

I'm just the creator and the theme designer, I've sent the PSD for the PtiWee and Millercentral to code this project, but so far I haven't had a return of the stage of the development.
If you want, you can try to send a private message to them and see what's the help them need, even, take over, if necessary.
All my themes are open source and collaborative, so anyone interested can be part of the team.

Thanks

OK - I messaged them.  I will let you know what they say.

Scripting / Re: Display a random image from scraper folder?

Maybe its something with the layout?  If I don't use rand() it always picks the first game that's selected when I bring up the display.

Thanks.  I was able to figure it out.

For anyone else reading this who might have this question...

You want fe.get_artwork(label, rand()) - where label is one of Attract Mode's standard artwork labels ("snap", "wheel", "fanart", etc.).  The second argument (call to the rand() function) will return a random number which gets passed into the  get_artwork function as the index_offset parameter.

Scripting / Display a random image from scraper folder?

« on: January 17, 2017, 02:58:50 PM »

I would like to display a random image in my layout.

If the emulator is 'mame' - it would pull the image from the scraper -> mame -> snap folder.
If the emulator is 'snes' - it would pull the image from the scraper -> snes -> snap folder.

Or even better (more generic) - if there are games from multiple systems in a list (e.g. fighting games from different systems) - have it pull a random screenshot from one of the games in the list.

Can someone tell me how this is done please?  I tried searching but I could not find anything.  Thank you.
