    Eclipse / Game discovery theme for bigbox.

    in Big Box Custom Themes

    Posted

    Does anyone know how to create a theme similar to Eclipse theme for Big Box? Eclipse is a great theme, but it's heavy when loading into big box. Also, it combines all the platforms into one display, and this is great, but I also want to separate platforms. I think that separating the platforms is the best look for bigbox simply because it keeps everything organized, but I want to be able to sort or change the look of the selected platform into eclipse once inside that platform. I hope that helps to visualize my theme idea. Also, if I could sort out files based on my own personal preference, that would be great. For example, if I want to see all the games sorted by the starting letter "A" followed by the games starting with the letter "B" below on a new column and so on; or even by someone's personal favorite game like "Jimmy Favorite games", and "Mike's Favorite games" on a new column below and so on, would be amazing. To simplify my request, I want to sort out the games how I want them inside the platform while keeping the look and feel of eclipse. I made a feature request in the bitbucket, title #8527: theme and game discovery center feature. If anyone likes this idea, and knows how to create this theme, please let me know, or if anyone reading this likes this request, please go to bitbucket and search for my request and vote on it. I hope people find this topic and let me know your thoughts. If you like it or hate it. 

    Thanks. 

    Eclipse - new plugin and theme in development

    in Third-Party Applications and Plugins (Development and Beta Testing)

    Posted

    The re-scale image process take about 5 minutes the first time and I think it's mostly because my computer is about 15 yrs+ old. Believe it or not, my old pc can also run some of the newer games.. lol. I believe I could have somewhere around 300 games that r mostly from steam n some old pcs games. The videos I have on some of my old games are videos of when I used to stream (or tries :D) about 4 yrs ago. I have them mostly for my little cousins to view them if they get stuck playing some of my old games. Some games have only 1 video and some other games have 2 or 3 additional videos from other people playing those games in my old stream. I've also added old school strategy guides for some old games I've found on the internet, and these are my additional app for some of my games. I dont have that many, but im still building my library. I'm hoping to someday build my own arcade with new hardware, but for now, I'm trying to improve the software side of it. With that said, thank u again for ur wrk!

    so this theme is great, its working perfectly fine. The only issues I've notice is that whenever I make a change in the options menu, all the images on my database re-scale every time. The other issue I've notice, is that "additional apps" doesn't show up when a game is selected even though if the feature is check on in the general options. I have many apps and videos on some of my games, its a shame i can't see this feature when i select those games.

    This is a great theme, I honestly think you have something great here. If you ever comeback to this I would love to know. This is a great add-on for bigbox. I hope someone someday can add more to this theme.

    Love the work that you did here, and thank you for sharing it with us.

    MK11 Video Theme Trailers

    View File

    Hello everyone,

    I've uploaded NEW versions of my previous MK11 Game Theme.

    I've created Two Different versions of the original MK11 game theme, one slightly different from the other, three in total. The first Theme is the original version with two different resolution options. The second theme has new animated decals and a cinematic ending at the end with also two different resolutions options. The final video is the same as the second video with a different ending, and it also has two different resolution options as well...

    The videos run a bit long, so if you guys like, feel free to edit the videos to your liking.

    These videos features character select screen, two trailers, friendships videos, and cinematic ending (spoilers). 

    Resolution: 1920x1080 and 720x406. Original video is at 960x498.

    Ending one is Liu Kang's ending, and ending two is Shang Tsung's ending.

    Hope you guys like them and make sure to watch them all the way to the end.

    Cheers and Game ON!!!

     

    gif images for front covers enable - launchbox and bigbox

    in Features

    Posted

    Hello Everyone,

    I had an idea that would be a great add-on for launchbox and bigbox.

    I was working on some banner for my game collections and I had the idea to animate them instead. Can any of the developers enable gif images for the front covers on both bigbox and launch box? I also notice that I'm able to load them in launchbox and they play perfectly in the edit window, but in the wall display of all the games it doesn't play. Please enable this feature if possible.

    Thanks.

    Is there a way to enable videos to play in this theme banner? I want to add music to the banners so that every banner can have a different feel other than the look of it. Please let me know where I can enable this feature in this theme if possible. Thank you!

    A Banner Theme Concept

    It's not currently available. It's not really a theme for every situation, as it requires custom banners for every game in your library.

    I've completed an alternate game view that includes video playback, and the text list view. Here's a video showing them off.

     

    I understand now. This is very cool to look at, but creating a banner for every game cld be an endless process. When I first saw this banner theme, I wanted to only use it for the  platform selection screen, I thought it would look very neat!

    Also, after reading everyone's comments above, I tried looking for the doc./script that was mentioned, but unfortunately I cldnt find it.  If this does become some form of a theme in the near future, you bet I will download it for my bigbox.

    Thanks.

    @james35, I'm a premium member and I have bigbox with my themes already installed and all, but not everyone is my household uses bigbox, some prefer launchbox instead. With that said, I'm only asking for a simple feature where I can lock down all my filters and categories that fit my needs and not have someone delete them or move them around. 

    @DOS76, I installed a theme for lauchbox that looks similar to plex, and let me tell ya, I think it's fcking amazing! lol I find myself leaning more on lauchbox in the most recent days since installing that theme! Look it up man, I think you'll be happy with the overall look!

    I've worked so hard to label and categorize my games based on my personal preference but for some reason, my kids somehow delete or move my categories, and I have to reload my backup files all the time. This is the reason why I want a simple lock feature in launchbox so that no one can change my settings.  I hope this feature is added in the next release... Bigbox has this feature and is a simple feature to add to launchbox. Thanks.

    Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to reach the community on adding a locking feature to launchbox similar to that of bigbox. 

    I'm very new to the community and I've sent a message to the administrators and replied on another user's account asking for the same feature. I hope this topic isn't overkilled by me trying by reaching out too many sources asking for the same thing but as I said, I'm new here and I'm learning on how to navigate in this great community. 

    I hope to hear from other users and coders for this add on feature. I hope is a simple add-on.

    thanks.
