Arcadeflow theme v 17.4 [Release] Updated 05 September 2024

[arthurvalenca]

trying to go back simply does not come back, in console nothing comes up because it does not perform the back function, the romlist is the same as I used in version 5.1.
In version 5.2 i have the same problem as 5.3.

[zpaolo11x]

Replicated the issue with your romlist, although I see it also in 5.1... please check with the attached layout.nut, just drop it in place of the old one

yes 5.3, now it works wonderfully well, everything is perfect, the letter in labellist is no longer duplicated, and the jump to the previous letter also works perfect, thanks for the support, AF and the best and most complete theme I will ever use.

PS: I still see another problem, is not working the star of favorites and the tag of compled, it only works when I go out and open the AM there it appears.

Hello. If you can implement the insertion of an overlay image (both in the main menu and in the history) I have an arcade cabinet it could be useful to visualize the controls of the bridge

Ciao. Se puoi implementa l'inserimento di un'immagine in sovraimpressione (sia nel menu principale che nell'history) io ho un cabinato arcade potrebbe essere utile visualizzare i comandi della plancia

PS: I still see another problem, is not working the star of favorites and the tag of compled, it only works when I go out and open the AM there it appears.

Going back to the history of Arcadeflow I see that this is a recurring issue, mainly because "ChangedTag" transition doesn't work as expected... I'm sharing a beta of the new version, you can check it, it should fix the stars and tags issue.

It seems that the first time you add a new tag the artwork is not correctly updated, but the next time you add the same tag it works. I don't know why, since the debug output is the same, same transitions triggered, same code executed. I suspect it's related to the screen where you enter the tag name, probably Arcadeflow tries to update the tag artwork when the screen is still showing and no actual tag has been added.
To overcome this, I've forced the tags to refresh as soon as you move to a new game, that should at least mitigate the issue... Hopefully

Dovrebbe essere già possibile: nelle opzioni di Arcadeflow c'è "Custom BG image", se come immagine carichi una PNG con i tuoi comandi su sfondo trasparente dovrebbe visualizzarli in sovrimpressione. Fammi sapere se funziona

Hmm, not good... can you paste the console output with the error message?

purtroppo non funziona. l'immagine finisce sullo sfondo. Con la versione 4.0 funzionava. Grazie mille e continua cosi'

Si in effetti l'immagine finisce sullo sfondo, ma non dovrebbe essere così stretchata... dovresti usare un'immagine tutta trasparente alla stessa risoluzione dello schermo, con gli elementi che ti interessano posizionati già dove li vorresti. Ovviamente finirebbero _dietro_ agli altri elementi, ma davanti allo sfondo principale

Questo è il modo in cui puoi mettere una specie di overlay (che in realtà finisce dietro la roba). Prepara un'immagine come quella in allegato, dove metti i controlli dove vuoi, e poi la imposti come sfondo. Ho usato la versione "1-row small" in modo da aver molto spazio intorno alle miniature. Pensi che così possa andare bene per te? Altrimenti implemento una "foreground image" nella nuova versione, che stia sopra a tutto (compresi gli screenshots)

Found an issue when no filter data is available, you can try this new temporary layout.nut to see if it is fixed. If not, you can send me your attract.cfg file to my email so I can have a look at it...

Hello,the completed tag works fine now, once I select it already appears in the layout, but I still have problems with the star, when I select it does not appear on time, I have to start the game and paste to layout there it appears.

Attract CFG:

Ok, I think the star issue is due to your config missing the "Starred" filter. At the beginning your config looks like this:

Code: [Select]

display Arcade
layout               AF-5.3
romlist              Arcade
in_cycle             yes
in_menu              yes

while it should look like this:

Code: [Select]

display Arcade
layout               AF-5.3
romlist              Arcade
in_cycle             yes
in_menu              yes
filter               All
filter               Starred
rule                 Favourite equals 1

Incidentally the missing filters caused the "No theme" issue you saw before, but I fixed that with a check. Try adding the two filters (or at least the Starred filter) to your cfg, it should fix the favourites issue.

[zpaolo11x]

Updated Arcadeflow to 5.4, many bug fixes and a revamped "More of the same..." menu allowing to look for the same tags, favourite states etc.

Lists that are sorted taking articles into account should work now, and of course I added more manufacturer logos
