theme DarkRoom 1.0.6

Hello RedSnake. First of all, sorry for the language. I use google translate. I hope you understand me.
You see, I'm already desperate, probably because of my zero knowledge of programming. I just wanted to know where to find the list of games that you base their id on.

Example. If I make a LIGHT GUN platform with a custom cabinet (I know it looks very basic but it serves as an example) Then I include "Alien 3 - the gun" on that platform and with that specific cabinet but in the end it doesn't put my cabinet, to unless I manually change the real name: "Alien3: The Gun" for "Alien3 - The Gun".

So, yes it works but if I want to put the game in a list and not a platform, then it goes wrong again.

I have tried everything. Visual studio. Microsoft Visual C ++. I opened the dll with "Resource Hacker" I do not like to bother about anything. But I really am lost and frustrated. Definitely. Where could I see that list that you use to put custom cabinets for each game? Thank you.

 

PD: OK. One minute after writing this comment I just found out. I'm definitely stupid XD.

Hi,

 

Yes it is exactly what you have to do to add specific cabs.

Just as a side note, you shouldn't do what you are doing because at some point I will add these kind of cabinets, so your work will be wasted. (But if you are that impatient, then yes this is the way to go ^^)

I agree. I'll wait for your work first. It is very worked. I am a bit bad making art design, I never used more than paint.net. Maybe gimp cheer me up. Anyway any suggestions we will see you here. Nice to communicate with you. Greetings!

this is a cool theme

btw can you post the CTC 

community theme creator files for this theme thanks

 

Thanx,

This theme wasn't made with the CTC sorry.

You will have to edit the xaml files yourself if you want to change anything.

I dont have the skills for that

But i can use CTC

Then you can try taking all the assets from this theme and try to rebuild it from scratch in the CTC yourself.

Backgrounds for Daphne.

Not the best but it will do.

Daphne.zip

Sorry for asking a likely silly question, how do I install the Fanart pack..? It contains a lot of zipped files which I have no idea where to extract to.

Camaxide 

you can drag it in to LaunchBox\Themes\DarkRoom\Images\Platform Categories\Fanart

No

I think he is talking about game fanarts, not platforms/categories/playlist (which are delivered within the theme).

You have to unzip them in "\Launchbox\Images\<your system>\Fanart - Background"

 

 

What's up Snake? How are you?
I can't wait to see the new platforms you are preparing. When will the update arrive? Thank you. And don't feel pressured, please, I just love your theme.
Also, if you can fix that when using the pause-themes with your theme in use. The music of the video of the game does not stop listening.
I would also like if you could make the wheel as similar as possible to the CoinOps Original.
With more curvature than it has now and the logos a little closer together.
And nothing more. Sorry, English is not my native language. I am from Spain. If I can help you with something. With fanarts or whatever. I would be happy to help. Greetings

Hi Rei,

I don't know when the update will come. I have done 10 more home systems and 3 handhelds so far.

There were a couple of things that happened recently in my life that made me slow down on the theme.

I am not sure I understand what you mean whith the music issue tough. I will see what I can do if I can reproduce the problem, but videos are managed via the pluggin, and as a consequence, there are various situations where it isn't notified when it must be stopped. That may be one of those cases.

I can't really do that, as coinops curvature seems to be managed in a different way that BigBox does.

For the record, I have suppressed the wheel pointer.

That's ok I understand you very well.

I don't really need any help, but thanks for the offer.

Greetings

Of course. Personal life is more important. I'm glad to hear you're still here. Slowly. There really is no rush. I also have a lot to fix in my collections. It's really a great job you do. Keep it up. Lots of health and happiness to you. Greetings!

Hi guys if a game does not have a background how do i change to show just plain black background instead of the LAUNCHBOX logo background.

Great work, this theme is awesome!

I dont know if you are still updating it or not, but if its not too much to ask, can you release the unedited art files? so we can do minor tweaks?

Or at least a nice clean TV art to replace the "theme/platform/device/_Default.png" and "theme/system/device/_Default.png" files without the "under construction tag".
Even if you wont update this theme its a big help.

thank you in advance!

 

Hello. Thank for the great theme. In my games i see a launchbox logo behind the game wheel. Not those great pics you have. How can i find them?

Always get this error after starting Big Box. Possible to fix or outdated theme?

Imo the best launchbox theme but unfortunately abandoned and without ctc files to follow the project

Any chance someone has the background art from the game list files?
I mean the background art without the television or console/cabinet. The bookcase and window.

The best theme, abandoned, sad
