Disculpe que le haga otra pregunta, estoy teniendo un pequeño problema relacionado con la opción ''Release Date'', en algunos juegos aparece la fecha de lanzamiento sin embargo en otros juegos no se muestra (a pesar de que la fecha de lanzamiento del juego está puesta en los metadatos de launchbox), esto ocurre tanto en el programa community theme creator como también en bigbox.

¿me puede enviar el nombre del juego y la plataforma y lo miraré cuando llegue a casa?

En realidad son muchos juegos de varias plataformas los que no muestran correctamente el año de lanzamiento (a pesar de tenerlos en sus metadatos), y muchos otros juegos si muestran su año de lanzamiento de manera normal, realmente no sé porqué se muestran en algunos y en otros no.

Por poner un ejemplo fácil el ''10-Yard Fight'' de NES no muestra su año de lanzamiento (este es sólo uno de varios).

hey guru is  there a short cut to adjust skew of a item, for example im trying to overlay a tv screen with a video but its slanted and at a angle

y2guru

Posted

No shortcut, you just plug the skew values in and rotate the object until it’s how you want it

im so confused past few hours im trying to pinch the left hand side of a image to fit this screen. i done it in photoshop but cannot do in editor

y2guru

No such feature as pinch in the creator

basically i need to push left hand side further into screen so video displays at a angle, possible a feature request if this cannot be done.

 

Thanks guru

if it can be done in XAML it can be done in the theme creator, but like I said, there is no pinch feature in XAML, so the creator does not have pinch

any suggestions to combat my issue? basically any depth of field layering text video pictures, closer to you gets larger further gets smaller

 

 

also text scroll speed to kick in faster

If u can put something simple together in photoshop to better describe what you’re trying to achieve would help

 

vertical or horizontal scroller?

horse

vertical scroller too much of a delay before it kicks in, also check your pms

yeah, tricky one that is. its almost you need the video on a 3d mat and place a camera where you need it in order to get the desired result

it looks like theres more information in the crash window, next time it pops up, place your cursor inside the whitespace and press Ctrl A and select copy, then paste the text and send to me, also zip up the following files and send to me directly.

The updates didn't fix the issue with my theme yet (not working in french and perhaps other languages) but I was able to take a screenshot of the error in case you can use it, or shall I send you my theme would that be handy in tackling this?

Unfortunately your theme will work for me, however I am building a debug theme that will hopefully provide insight into this language issue, some French users are experiencing completely blank screens)

once I get this debug theme ready, I’ll send to you

@y2guru Here's the complete published theme (just in case), indeed if you set your language to french in launchbox and then launch the theme in big box you'll get a black screen but you'll here a video playing, as soon as you click/press a button it'll launch a game view and you'll get the above error message.

That’s awesome! I’ve never played around with the language settings via launchbox so that will be truly helpful, plus debugging with your theme.  Thanks for the info and sharing the theme, much appreciated
