But how do all these people create themes on Attract Mode ? There must be a procedure for beginners like meYour best option is to create a theme on HyperSpin theme builder and then import it to AM (and no there are no manuals for that either)
?
You have it set to 4:3 ratio so try 16:9 would be my only guess. Top left hand corner, your skin res is 1920 x 1080 and you are 4:3.
In the Attract Mode forum which has NOTHING to do with AM Builder.
If you need further help, let us know where your "loading.jpg" file is located and also let us know where your attract.exe file is located.
$PROGDIR/plugins/FadeToGameconstructor() {
user_config = fe.get_config();
toGameRunTime = user_config["toGameRunTime"].tointeger();
fromGameRunTime = user_config["fromGameRunTime"].tointeger();
shade = fe.add_image("loading.jpg", 0, 0, fe.layout.width, fe.layout.height);
shade.set_rgb(0, 0, 0);
shade.visible = false;
shade.zorder = 9999;
fe.add_transition_callback(this, "transitions");

Alternatively, you could add rocketlauncher into your build and use its functions for it.
Please note that I haven't tested any of the above as launching is pretty instant for me anyway.
I think that the people asking for this, think that it makes the game load faster.
So for my system it takes seven seconds to load a game, they are assuming that the now loading screen loads on top and the game loads in the background, but as you know it does not work like that.
Which is why I was testing these at three seconds as I was expecting it to do the same, so I was trying to cut the loading time down.
Yes, it kind of looks good when you first see it, a bit like intro's and things like that, but when you work out how much time you are losing, it all adds up, especially when you get to my age. So if you do play twenty games a day, that is a minute of your life that you are losing just to have something look pretty. A minute a day, seven days a week, that is seven minutes. It all adds up to time wasted on your life.
Yes I am morbid, but hell I would sooner spend that time enjoying myself, rather than thinking, that looks pretty lol
