# Resolução #
local flx = fe.layout.width;
local fly = fe.layout.height;
local flw = fe.layout.width;
local flh = fe.layout.height;


fe.load_module("fade");
fe.load_module( "animate" );

game_flyer = fe.add_artwork("wheel",flx*0.360, fly*0.400, flw*0.280, flh*0.190),
game_desc = fe.add_text("[!get_hisinfo]",flx*0.245, fly*0.300, flw*0.500, flh*0.720),
game_desc1 = fe.add_text("[Overview]",flx*0.245, fly*0.300, flw*0.500, flh*0.720),

}

In fact the script already has what I really wanted and when I call the script and pop up the information I can scroll the information up and down with the keyboard keys.

I found this code that ArcadeBliss published but couldn't make the text slide up and down with it

Code: [Select]

local history =fe.add_text("", 442,188,810,290)
history.charsize = 18;
history.align = Align.Left;
history.word_wrap = true;
history.msg = "XXXXXXXXXXX PUT YOUR TEXT HERE XXXXXXXXXX";


function historynav( tick_time )
{

if (fe.get_input_state("XXXXXXXXXX   PUT YOUR UP KEY HERE XXXXXXXXXXXXXX")==true)
{
                history.first_line_hint--;
}
if (fe.get_input_state("XXXXXXXXXX   PUT YOUR DOWN KEY HERE XXXXXXXXXXXXXX")==true)
{
history.first_line_hint++;
}
}
fe.add_ticks_callback("historynav");

Im sorry, i can not help you. I have never been interested in these things. When i start Attract-Mode, what i want is to start playing, not read the games wikipedia. 

But i know this layout that does something similar, in case it can help you: http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=1558.0

Thanks for the indication, from what I saw and a high-level scroll, I don't like this kind of scroll very much, I would like a manual scroll with the up and down arrow, also when you enable the history.dat plugin and call it with One key you are able to scroll the test up and down with the arrows. The download link is no longer available.


I tried using this function for the code that calls history.dat to display but was unsuccessful.

Code: [Select]

function on_scroll_up()
{
m_text.first_line_hint--;
}

function on_scroll_down()
{
m_text.first_line_hint++;
}


Code: [Select]

class UserConfig {

</ label="● History Dat", help="History.dat location. Be sure to enable and config History.dat from the plugins menu.", order=9 /> dat_path="..\\AttractMode\\history.dat";

}

################## Include the utilities to read the history.dat file##################

dofile(fe.script_dir + "scripts/file_util.nut");

################## History ##################

function get_hisinfo()
{
local sys = split( fe.game_info( Info.System ), ";" );
local rom = fe.game_info( Info.Name );
local text = "";
local currom = "";

local alt = fe.game_info( Info.AltRomname );
local cloneof = fe.game_info( Info.CloneOf );
local lookup = get_history_offset( sys, rom, alt, cloneof );

if ( lookup >= 0 )
{

text = get_history_entry( lookup, my_config );
  local index = text.find("- TECHNICAL -");
if (index >= 0)
{
local tempa = text.slice(0, index);
text = strip(tempa);
}


} else {
if ( lookup == -2 )
text = "Index file not found.  Try generating an index from the history.dat plug-in configuration menu.";
else
text = "";
} 
return text;
}


local history = fe.add_text("", flx*0.0, fly*0.690, flw*0.560, flh*0.240);
history.charsize = 16;
history.align = Align.Centre;
history.word_wrap = true;
history.msg = "[!get_hisinfo]";
history.font = "Geforce Light";
local old_tick = 0;
