General / Re: Variables to use under default-emulator.cfg

« on: May 18, 2021, 05:16:12 AM »

AM is flexible you can create all the kind of arts woy want, just add the path of the artwork.

For Cartar. Go to Configure -> Emulators -> "Your emulator/system" -> Add Artwork -> Label it as cartart and put the path.

In the layout you can call it with "fe.add_artwork ( "[cartart]", 0, 0, 0, 0 );"

local cdart = fe.add_artwork("cdart", flx*0, fly*0.27 flw*0.19, flh*0.25);
cdart.preserve_aspect_ratio = true;

local cdart_rotation = {
    when = Transition.ToNewSelection ,property = "rotation", start = 0, end = 360, time = 3000, loop = true

Scripting / Re: Launch Decorator plugin

« on: March 02, 2021, 12:53:59 PM »

Your needs seems a sort of Fade To/From Game function. A function strictly performed by AttractMode while keeping focus.
FadeToGame plugin exists, but current version doesn't play video.

Exactly I wanted to use it for this purpose, a kind of video loading of games.

This seems to be one of the most wanted thing in a Brazilian AM group I'm part of.  People hate to see comand line and/or the emulator loading when starting a game, they want a seamless transition from AM to game

Thanks! I will take a look. Your layout is awesome and seems really advanced for just 1 month of learning. Did you have any previous coding experience?

This is great and if it was possible to position elements like an image files like in texts with ".centre" then making fluid layouts would be  super easy.

General / Retro achievements integration

I'd like to know if it is possible to create a module or plugin that is capable to grab the data from your retroachievements account and show it on your layout?

Maybe try "Daimo". Usually when a special character gives problem you fall back to the most similar. Random people won't try apply the most accurate romanization.

Scripting / Re: Line height control, possible?

« on: February 29, 2020, 07:11:51 PM »

I'm no programmer but yesterday I started doing my first attempt at a layout and just finished the overview part of mine. I think what you're looking for can be done with the line spacing property (line_spacing) or some other from here "https://github.com/mickelson/attract/blob/master/Layouts.md#Text"

lol I found yesterday the source for that first wallpaper that comes from PS3 theme, I had the same idea to use it on a theme and as a learning experience for a first time. Nice that someone already did. Good Job.
