Hey there, Love your Theme, I was wondering if you could provide the community theme creator project files for your theme. There are so many good elements that I would love to play with in creating my own. I appreciate it. Great theme, great work.
I am not sure what ten folders you are talking about, but here are the instructions for installing the theme:
How to Install:
Extract Retro Console Theme.zip to your launchbox themes folder. This includes all the platform and device logos you need and will automatically use them. ( In order to use other logos just delete the ones in this theme folder)
You can also use the startup and pause themes to add more of a consistent flow.
Drop the startup video (if you want it) in the launchbox videos root folder.
Hello all, hope this is in the right place.
I am trying to set up a bunch of IGT Slots by Masque in BigBox. It is easy enough to add the game packs and media but I am trying to set it up to be able to launch each slot machine directly. Very much like we do with Pinball FX tables. Has anyone figured this out or can anyone point me in the right direction.
Not sure if it is even possible but it would be really cool to have in a dual screen Slot Machine build I am trying to make. This is a set up with a touch screen and a marquee screen to show the payout screenshots, but I can not do so unless I can have each machine displayed in a playlist individually. Each pack comes with several machines.
I will of course share this theme once I have it up and running.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for looking!
Hello, this view is specific to platform device images. Make sure you have those made in the logo creator and in the right spot. If this is not helpful, let me know.
the video was made by @faeran and is probably still available, maybe it has been moved. It is an instructional video he made that shows how to make custom images in the theme creator. Not sure what the title was but you could ask him. He is very responsive and very knowledgeable.
How to make your own custom logos for this theme: Click Here (watch first and then return here and follow the instructions below)
Once you get an understanding and are setup to go you can follow these instructions to make matching logo sets from your own collections for this theme:
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)
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 2 or 3 options such as 'Theme, Platform and Game'. Use the following for each sub type of logo you want to make:
Platform Logos: Use the first dot for these and select 'Theme' from the box below. (Put these in the 'images/Platforms/Custom Images 1' folder within this theme)
Game Logos: Make sure to select the correct platform from the menu(panel) on the left. Then use the second dot and choose 'Theme' from the box below the dots. (Put these in the 'images/Games/Custom Images 1' folder within this theme)
Custom Platform View (game logos): Use the same instructions above but select the 6th dot and choose 'Platform from the box below the dots. (Put these in the 'images/Games/Custom Images 3' folder within this theme)
Custom Banners: Use the same instructions above but select the 4th dot and choose'Platform from the box below the dots. (Put these in the 'images/Games/Custom Images 2' folder within this theme)
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. You now just have to select the Hamburger Icon form the menu at the top of the screen and then hover over 'Render Custom Images', now select 'All Games for Selected Platform' from the menu that pops out.
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.
It might be but I have never tried that. I think you would have to copy the views over and then make sure to copy all the assets from the media folder as well. Not sure if it would work but you can try.
