HyperPie2 Themes V2

Updated again with drop shadow and glow behind snap options. https://mega.nz/#!KF0C0SiR!WOmTzlAYqIUrkNtTeU6l8FAJQ1uBnqY7fgQj22klSWI
Here's a pack of modules needed for this theme. Drop the folder in the zip file straight into the attract folder: https://mega.nz/#!2McxhCpC!_vVPWFp-LjHH7Q-XZx1V66UkrGEEbYgLmdo779qxJ4A

------------------------------------------------

Now with "ambiance" as background option thanks to zpaolo11x. Make sure you get version 2.4.1 from the Attract Mode website as well. Delete the old HP2 theme folders before extracting these folders into attract\layouts

This version also allows per display layout options meaning all layout options can be set differently for different displays. Like you probably don't want cart art for arcade based systems and so on.

There's also a background option named per display which will show a background matching the selected system in most cases.

The best way to customize your layouts is to assign a button to "Layout Options" in the AM settings. This is a new feature for AM 2.4 and pressing that button will take you directly to the layout options which now can be set independently of other displays.

Oh, and btw you can select which HP2 layout you want in the layout options now so you can replace the "toggle layout" button with "layout options" instead. The selected view is stored in the attract.am file so make sure to keep a backup of that file when you have setup AM the way you want it.

You set the hp2-main-menu layout to the "displays menu", hp2-sub-menu to all sub menus if you have sub menus configured, hp2-arcade-menu to all arcade systems that don't have cart art and finally hp2-systems-menu to everything else. Read the startup tutorial carefully and don't forget to set a button to "Toggle layout" to switch between the different views.

You can set your screen ratio to either 16:9 or 4:3 in the display options for each theme and you can also select between PC or RPi for better timed animations depending on what hardware you run on.

This zip doesn't include  the game descriptions. You can get them here https://mega.nz/#!3MkWwbTJ!emOUuFeGLy9NosR7qk-j16JzkSOGE4Zp3xv60sIYlsQ. Drop these in your romlist folder.

Let me know if you run into any issues.

love it....and for the pi.....

cant wait....thanks

Thanks! The easiest way to get this theme will be by getting the HP2 image when it's out if you have a pi.  That way you will get all the menu flyers (made by Dwayne Hurst), the main and sub menu setup, all the new videos (by Eddy Smith), the silver ring wheels, all modules needed etc. It comes with no roms but has romlist pre-configured that follow the Hyperspin naming so it's really easy to setup. It will also have a theme downloader script, built in attract mode upgrade script and a way to switch between a flat menu structure and the main/sub/system structure. It's a really nice base to start off with.

I will of course upload the themes to github but then you will have to get a hold of all the media to make it look nice

So will this be able to run on the PC version as well

Attractmode layouts/plug-ins/modules are platform independent. When people say things are for the pi, they usually mean that it’s optimized for a device that might not have the resources a normal PC has.

It's great to see my layout code evolving and inspiring others Keep it up!

I was asked was it going to be a PC version of this as well but i can ask in group

Yup, there will be an HPPC2 release with more systems supported. Comes with AttractMode, emulators and Rocketlauncher preconfigured with media and romlists (but no roms).

A quick demo of some box and cart art animations plus a function to swap between game description, front, and back boxart:

Love it.
Silky Theme was always my favorite (stunning work Oomek), I just wish it incorporated cover and box art. I tried implementing myself, problem being I suck at this. This is great though.

Looking forward to the release for PC!

Now also optimized for 5:4 screens  :

HyperPie2 is out now for Pi and PC. I'm on vacation away from my computers and cant do much but you can grab both versions from either Project Hyperpie (Pi)  or HyperPie Expanded (for PC) on Facebook. Or if you're lazy www.arcadepunks.com

Thanks for the info and the hard work!

Personally I would have liked links to just the layouts. Here they are if anyone else wants to check them out without downloading the whole image.

There's a bunch more you need like modified modules and artwork in other directories. The github is not updated either. I will package everything up eventually but right now we are helping those who installed the complete package and my time is a bit limited .
