Text styling questions

[jedione]

ya this is working , for uppercase,
but.
it is dropping the magic tokin of  [!Players] at the end of it.

Code: [Select]

function title(){
  local text = fe.game_info(Info.Title );
  local text = fe.game_info(Info.Title );
  return text.toupper();
}
local title = fe.add_text("[!title] PLAYERS   [!Players] ", flx*0.185, fly*0.080, flw*0.300, flh*0.500 );
title.charsize = 47;
title.alpha = 255;
title.font="mad";
title.set_rgb( 255, 0, 0 );
title.align = Align.Left;
title.rotation = ( 90 );


//*********************************************************


function title(){
  local text = fe.game_info(Info.Title);
  return text.toupper();
}
local title = fe.add_text("[!title]", flx*0.185, fly*0.080, flw*0.300, flh*0.500 );
title.charsize = 47;
title.alpha = 255;
title.font="mad";
title.set_rgb( 255, 255, 0 );
title.align = Align.Left;
title.rotation = ( 90 );

Brilliant.

Thank you keilmillerjr and jedione for your help and time on this. Will give it a go this evening (UK).

OK, I have no idea where I'm going wrong, but I still can't get this to work.

Here's the code.

Code: [Select]

function title(){
  local text = fe.game_info(Info.Title);
  return text.toupper();
}

local title = fe.add_text("[!title]  PLAYS: [PlayedCount]", flx*0.235, fly*0.02, flw*0.600, flh*0.500 );
Using this, the text doesn't display at all, so something's off. As soon as I remove the function and stop trying to make the text uppercase, it's fine. So it's definitely the function causing the issues 

Any final thoughts? If not, I'll learn to live with it, or will find a suitable replacement uppercase font.

Could you mind provide nut file to us for checking?

[jdye82]

Sure. Attached

Please update filtername fucntion as below 

function filtername(){
     local text = fe.filters[1];
     return text.name.toupper();
}

[jdye82]

Please update filtername fucntion as below 

function filtername(){
     local text = fe.filters[1];
     return text.name.toupper();
}

OK. So, the ROM name/title is now showing - and working in uppercase!!

BUT, The filer/list name is not showing now. So it looks like there's something wrong with fe.filters[1] ?

[kent79]

I think you set a incorrect x axis location (outside of screen)

local filter2 = fe.add_text("LIST:", flx*1.18, fly*0.02, flw*0.600, flh*0.500 );

Please try to change it to flx*0.1

Unfortunately that's not the issue. The text is being rotated 90 degrees, which is why it needs the odd positioning. The text "LIST:" is still visible, just not the filter/list name. So the problem definitely appears to be in the function?

[kent79]

local filter1 = fe.add_text("LIST: [!filtername]", flx*0.18, fly*0.02, flw*0.600, flh*0.500 );

Please change this line

Honestly, that's not the problem.

If I swap [!filtername] with [FilterName] it works fine (but is obviously not in capitals). The issue I'm having is that the function isn't working.

Actually, did you try to change ? What is your result?

local filter1 = fe.add_text("LIST: [!filtername]", flx*0.18, fly*0.02, flw*0.600, flh*0.500 );

[jedione]

ya the magic tokins
[DisplayName][FilterName]
are not displayed,  all the others are like [Emulator], [Name], ext...are because your calling .info

this is because their is no scraped or add info for this category  [DisplayName] @t       romlists>snes.cfg
ie:#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra;Buttons

im sure this is were .info is pulled from

ill mess with it anf see what i can find out after work..peace

This just moved the text ("LIST:") to the other side of the screen, but the filter name from the function is still not working.
