Ok, Jedione, thanks, but...

I've tried your aura4k coin-ops theme and the abc.nut layout gives exactly the same problem: If when changing filters or lists, there are no games, it gives the error of slice out of range and closes attract-mode. Logically, the code to get the first letter of the game is the same.

And with the statbar.nut layout, only one letter appears and then only the green line that changes size without any other letter.

Keil's code to get the first letter doesn't work either.

So we are the same as before.

[iOtero]

Well, i have already solved it, it was much easier than it seemed.

You only have to give access to variable s2 if the name string --variable s-- is not empty.

This is my code contribution.

There's a "gameletter" function that acts differently if the list is sorted by name or manufacturer (returns the first letter), by category (returns the main category) or by year (returns the decade in the form 198x).

There is a routine in the on_transition section that, when transitioning to a new list, dynamically builds a table of "sort items" that are letters or years or categories according to the sort order, and changes it every time so the list is always consistent with the sort order. A small tweak can be done to space each "section" proportionally to the number of games in that slot but if there are few games then the category name will not fit, so I let it out

Code: [Select]

function gameletter( offset ) {
   if (fe.filters.len() > 0){

      if (fe.filters[fe.list.filter_index].sort_by == Info.Year){
         local s = fe.game_info( Info.Year, offset )
         s = s.slice (0,3)+"x"
         return s
      }
      else if (fe.filters[fe.list.filter_index].sort_by == Info.Manufacturer){
         local s = fe.game_info( Info.Manufacturer, offset )
         return s.slice(0,1)
      }
      else if (fe.filters[fe.list.filter_index].sort_by == Info.Category){
         local s = fe.game_info( Info.Category, offset )
         if (s == "") return "?"
         s = split( s, "/" )
         return strip(s[0])
         }
      else {
         local s = fe.game_info( Info.Title, offset )
         if (s.find("The ") == 0) s = s.slice(4,s.len())
         local s2 = s.slice(0,1)
         if ("1234567890".find (s2) != null ){
            s2="#"
         }
         return s2
      }
   }
}


local flw = fe.layout.width
local flh = fe.layout.height

function on_transition( ttype, var, ttime ) {

   if (ttype == Transition.ToNewSelection){
      local l1 = gameletter(0)
      local l2 = gameletter(var)

      if (l1 != l2){
         keys [l1].alpha = 128
         keys [l2].alpha = 255
      }
   }

   if (ttype == Transition.ToNewList){
      local tableorder = []
      local tableletter = {}

      for (local i = 0 ; i < fe.list.size ; i++){
         local s =  (gameletter (i-fe.list.index))
         try { tableletter[s]++ }
         catch (err) {
            tableletter[s] <- 1
            tableorder.push (s)
         }
      }

      keys = {}
      local i = 0
      local x0 = 0

      foreach (key in tableorder){
         local key_obj = fe.add_text(key,x0,flh*0.5,flw/tableorder.len(),50)
         key_obj.charsize = 50
         key_obj.alpha = ((tableletter[key] > 0) ? 128 : 0)
         key_obj.set_bg_rgb (100+50*(i%2),100+50*(i%2),100+50*(i%2))
         i++
         x0 = x0 + flw/tableorder.len()
         keys[key] <- key_obj
      }

      keys [gameletter(0)].alpha = 255
   }

zpaolo11x,
If it is not too much to ask, would it be possible to put it on display in a vertical position?

zpaolo11x,

I'm also interested. 

[zpaolo11x]

You mean you want the same sort of layout, but with the bar in vertical? I see if I can come up with a revised layout...

[zpaolo11x]

Just a few changes allow to place the letter strip in vertical, although there are still some issues in this old code related to games with "The" or "Vs." in the name...

[dynastyed]

thanks zpaolo11x for your code i need helpppppp, i tweak a bit to take off de backgorund of the letters,,, now when i change filters the entyre list of letters are duplicated, how can I delete the old ones so that it shows only the last list?, thnak youooo
