concept layout - need some help

[bundangdon]

Hey all! I've been able to design and put together my own version of the "Concept" layout and it can be seen below here. However, I had a couple of questions.

1) How can I make the games list seamless/continuous? As you can see in the picture (below) it gets caught about halfway when you get to the first or last entries on the games list

2) How can I insert a "title" of the selected game in to the layout? I tried copying some code from other layouts but couldn't get it to work.

Any help or information would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure that the listbox supports wrapping to "fill" the listbox area? Someone with some experience could write a custom WrapListBox class that would do it though.

As for title, that's simple:
fe.add_text("[Title]", 0, 0, fe.layout.width, 20);

Thank you very much for that helpful information

By „title“ do you mean wheel art? It sounds like you can want to create your own class to handle this.

Code: [Select]

fe.game_info(Info.Title) supports index_offset. It shouldn’t be too hard to have 8 text objects in relation to the current game, and one art object for the current game. Obviously you will need some clever logic if there is less games than objects.

Just one question though, how can I set the location? Whenever I try to put in any numbers for the location the whole layout gets messed up

fe.add_text( msg, x, y, w, h )

x - the x coordinate of the top left corner of the text (in layout coordinates).
y - the y coordinate of the top left corner of the text (in layout coordinates).

Finally got it figured out. Thank you to all who helped!
