Arcadeflow theme v 17.4 [Release] Updated 05 September 2024

[zpaolo11x]

The autoupdate seemed to work, but I'm getting weird backgrounds now with no game list...if I change back to 91 it shows correctly.

This is super weird, can you run attract-console.exe > log.txt and share the log so I can see what's going on?

Also, but unrelated, I see the joystick and buttons when looking and game info, but not the description of the action that the button does...like your MK example with block and high / low kick/punch. What do I need for that to be included.

Command instructions are not avilable for all games, anyway you need to configure the command.dat path (this is in the MAME folder)  in Arcadeflow options, in the History section. Configure the path and generate the index, then it should work

Here is the log.txt

Thanks for the info about command info. I'll do that right after this issue is resolved...

Here is the log.txt

Found the issue, is related to the customized multiflter menu, you customized those entries, right? Sadly I discovered there's a bug also in the routine to adjust the multifilter menu, so the only thing I can suggest is, until I fix everything, go in Arcadeflow options, reset them to default and don't customize the multifilter menu :/

Thanks so much for the quick replies, and your work on this great theme and its added functionality it brings.

Look, I just found the error in the code: if you want to fix it you can open layout.nut, search for this line:

   foreach (i, item in outname){

and replace outname with outnames

That should fix most of the issues

[bionictoothpick]

I did make the outname change, but I can't seem to clear the multifilter info because I'm still getting that same strange background.

I'll use 9.1 for until the next release.

Indexing the command.dat worked perfectly.

Finally was able to update AF to 9.2. Generally seems to be working great and smooth. Noticed only 3 odd things for now:
 
1. I enable add Exit Arcade Flow to display menu but in this version that exit entry never appears in the display menu.

2. The generating logo for systems in display menu isn't working for the Favourites collection in this version.

3. Thumbnails and video aspect ratio doesn't seem to be working on version 92. Thumbnails and videos always appear as square instead of respecting original aspect ratio like vertical, horizontal and so on.

edit: prints attached from af 88 and 92 to compare.

Hi,

I have a question. What does it mean when are red cross symbols on the list of games? If i click on them, they work fine. I have this issue only for game boy game list.
Thanks a lot for your attention.

I have a question. What does it mean when are red cross symbols on the list of games? If i click on them, they work fine. I have this issue only for game boy game list.

The red cross should be visible when the game is "not available", there's a game parameter for that in Attract Mode scripting language. If the cross is visible but the game is playing normally then there's something wrong... I'll take a deeper look at the code. Does it happen in a romlist only?

[Damon-HP]

Yes, only for the Game Boy game list. For the other game platform no problem. I noticed also that the Atari 5200 isn't recognised as a console, and it is visible in OTHER section.

Atari 5200 is not recognized by Arcadeflow yet (it will be in the next release hopefully), but you can force it into the Console section by adding #CONSOLE at the end of the display name.

As far as the cross issue is concerned, I'll see if I can craft a custom layout to check it

[Damon-HP]

Ok, thanks a lot

I just saw the picture, there's something wrong in the size of those "X"s, I think something is not right, can you run

Code: [Select]

attract-console.exe > log.txt
and share the output file so I can see if there are errors?

BTW, are you italian?

[Damon-HP]

Yes, I'm italian (from Rome). I'm using your beautiful theme on macOS, therefore have not any attract-console.exe. I don't know how to help you

No problem, sono italiano anch’io (da Milano), e anche io ho un Mac Non so se sei pratico del terminal di MacOS, comunque dovresti aprire una finestra del terminale e dare questo comando:

cd /Applications/Attract.app/Content/MacOS

E poi lanciare il comando

./attract

Dovresti vedere eventuali messaggi di errore sul terminale, puoi copiare e incollare i messaggi.
