Boa noite, tema muito perfeito, parabens. porem só tem um probleminha! onde cada pasta se encaixa????? pq esta muito confuso com todos esses arquivos. pode ajudar?

Por favor, veja as instruções que adicionei ao post. Deixe-me saber se é isso que você estava procurando.

Hi cemfundog, 

 

Looks like a fantastic theme. I'm in the same boat as WENDJA. I'm really confused on how it all works. I've tried following the instructions, but i'm still stumped.

I have posted some photos on some of the issues i've got that I can't resolve. Sorry as I am still learning how the bigbox themes work and how to customize them.

I hope to be able to get it running how you have in the video. 

Thanks.

Ok, it looks like you have it running fine. Try to clear the image cache in big box settings. Make sure to clear all images not just the logos. There is an option to refresh all images, choose that one a couple of times and then check if it is fixed. Let me know!

Also it looks like you may have the wrong images. Make sure that all of the logo packs you got here on this page are located in the ‘Custom Images 3’ folder. It looks like you have the custom banner images in that spot now.

Whoops my bad. I did infact put the custom banner images in the wrong spot. Just wondering how I can get the theme to use custom images for the platform selection menu, where it show "Arcade", "Computers" etc and the mode selection menu after selecting a platform where it shows "All Games" etc. 

 

Also for the game logo packs. When browsing in the views like below. Were you still planning on adding more clear logos for Xbox 360, PS3, etc? Or have it use some other images that can fit or recommend just creating my own for now? I've noticed the logos aren't named after the games but in digits?  Just don't want most of some blank.

 

Sorry to be a hassle. Thanks again.

Great Skin, I been spending some time installing it. I had to make some game icons is most platforms with the Community Theme Creator. Thanks for the link to the video that helped. Now I wanted to make a few Platform view Icons for custom game images 3. I see that they where made with the theme creator. Cant seem to see how its done. Any suggestion where to look. Was everything I need in your Retro Console Logo Creator file?

Ok, sorry for the confusion. I am the worst when it comes to writing up instructions. Obviously, you have figured most of it out.

1. So once you open the logo creator file (that you got from here) in the community theme creator, you need to select the platform that you want to make logos for from the left panel at the top (3rd drop down)
2. and then you will notice a long string of dots toward the bottom of the screen from left to right and centered just above the box that offers, 'Theme, Platform, Game'. You will need to select the one that is titled 'CustomGameImage3'. You can do this by clicking on the title that is just below those dots and select it from the popup menu that appears.
3. Once you have done this you need to select 'Platform in the box with 3 options just below the title you selected.
4. Now you will be able to make logos for your exact set of games using all of the assets that are in the ones I made so they will match.
5. Once you have completed making your set you will need to go and get that whole folder of logos you just made and move them to the 'Retro Console' theme folder in the 'Custom Images 3' folder with the others. Remember, each platform logo set needs to be in a folder that exactly matches your Platform name as it appears in your LaunchBox setup.

I hope this helps but if still confusing, hit me up again and tell me where you are stuck.

Sorry to bother you again. Still not having any luck. I can not get any custom 3 images . I have made, moved , Install Games images 1 and 2. I have selected the button that says CustomGameImages3 but nothing happens when I click platform, I noticed all other selection games images1 and 2 a setting icon appears  when correctly selected. This does not happen with platform views in CustonGamesImages3. Should I be able to find any assets in the pack for these platform views?

Thanks again for the skin.

make sure to select the platform you want to mkae logos for on the left panel and then select GameImages3. So left panel has 3 options, 1st option should be, 'Retro Console Logo Creator', 2nd option should be, 'Platforms' and 3rd option should be, '(the platform you want)'. Then after setting those you should select, 'Platform' from the box below the dots. Not sure what else to do, let me know if this helps.

Thanks must be missing something . Your directions are good.

Thanks anyway.

Thanks for the screenshot. That solved the problem. Turns out I had not included the files for SNES. Sorry for that. Redownload the logo creator and try again, should be fine now. Again, sorry for the confusion.

Yea thanks that was it. N64 and snes work.  Still nothing on gamecube , dreamcast, PlayStation and ps2.

  Thanks for all your work   .

Boa tarde, me desculpe mas não consigo entender como colocar cada arquivo no seu devido lugar, baixei todos os arquivos das plataformas que tenho porem não da pra saber onde colocar, a menos que tenha um video tutorial de como fazer eu tento. pois acabei de desistir.

 

A única coisa que posso oferecer são as instruções que adicionei no post acima. Todos os detalhes foram explicados sobre onde você coloca os arquivos. Revise as instruções e veja se isso ajuda. Desculpe, mas não posso oferecer mais no momento.

Can someone help with Platform categories and the nested playlists once you select a category. I cannot figure out how to get any of these to load into the theme...

Ok, I just got the platform category and playlist views and logos to work. Sorry it took so long but it was a tough one for some erason. Please redownload the logo creator file if you intend to make a matching set for your system. You can also download the ones that just uploaded to this forum page. 3 new files in all. Hope this helps and ENJOY!

I tried that and it did not seem to work. I am currently working on the 1.12 theme, I could get those to work by putting them in the default image place, I cannot get them to work placing them in the theme image folder....

 

I will try again with 3.0 once im done setting up 1.2 though.... Try again to see if I can get them to work.

 

Cheers for the awesome these though!!

 

Have a question:

 

Am I forced to use your custom clear logo's (Game)? Most clear logo's will not appear unless they are used in your Themes\Retro Console Light V3\Images\Games\Custom Images 1 file structure. Why can I not use the standard clear logo's?

I tried an experiment and put the standard clear logos in the "Custom Images 1" folder and most worked however, any clear logo that contains (, : ' ) in the name will not work unless renamed with those removed. This is not the case with the Retro Anime V2 theme.

Yes, this version is a completely new beast altogether. It will only use the custom logos that are made specifically for it. If you are looking to add more you can make matching logos by using the logo creator. But this theme is capable of using any other logos. Sorry.

Hello,

which file is the one showcasing the last image of sega genesis on top (all the way to the right)?

I would like to get that file only but I can't tell what file that is. 

Thanks!

That is the wall view. It is built into this theme. You just have to keep changing views until you get there. For me it can take several tried before finally getting there. Hope this helps but if not let me know!

Je viens de découvrir ton thème, je voulais te féliciter je suis sur le cul quel travail et quelle cohérence! Bravo à toi mec!

Edit : Do you think to update the assets available for the community creator?, That would be great

I can give you what ever you want but I am unsure what you mean by assets available for the community creator. Please explain and I will get you what you need.
