Greetings, For my Castlevania Theme video's I'm looking for some nice hi-res source art for the following titles: Haunted Castle, in particular, I'm looking for the side decal of the Skeleton standing behind a gravestone. Castlevania The arcade game, I know.. Anything that's nice and hi-res. I found some photographs of it out in the wold, some are actualy nice but as always the angles are horrible and I lack the skill and patience to give it a good clean and aspect correction. but maybe one of you people are actualy trained professionals instead of me, an enthousiastic amateur. VS. Castlevania side decals, does anyone know if the original used the same painting for decals as vampire killer and castlevania? The internet is muddled

nice going ! very nice work.

it looks all good @viking

the game discovery center is an absolute beast of a feature. absolutely awesome! are there plans to add to the functionality a bit ? like adding an option to toggle Platforms/Platform categories/playlists? It's the feature of the year... hands down. xmas came early this year.

I've been updating a bit. Also written a GUI for it. When you click "where is teknoParrot button" a browse window will open after that you can either Sort by platform or just Sort gun games, when it's done it will out put this folder structure each sorted game is stored in its seperate folder which will simplify scraping. I do have an issue though with my XAML. it will only find images of my UI if I use absolute paths. and I can't get it to accept relative paths. I would really appreciate the help MainWindow.xaml <Window x:Class="System.Windows.Window" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Teknoparrot_Platform_Importer_ui" Title="TP Sorting tool" Height="475" Width="815"> <Grid> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Canvas> <Canvas.Background> <ImageBrush ImageSource="F:\Tools\powershell\TP_GUI\imag1.jpg" Opacity="0.4"/> </Canvas.Background> <Image Height="100" UseLayoutRounding="False" Source="F:\Tools\powershell\TP_GUI\imag2.png" Canvas.Left="1" Width="799"/> <Button Name="Browse" Content="Where is TeknoParrot?"

Interesting. I'll have a look. I had made a, at the moment, primitive powershell script that sort of does the same. My powershell script sorts the setup games per platform. so its a drag and drop affair after the storting is done. I will try your plugin

This looks interessant. I will have a look this evening

not but here is the post, @Alerum68

Greetings, Sorting through the various platforms that are supported in Teknoparrot can be quite a chore. I've written a script, that will plow through the games you have setup and sort them by platform so you can just drag and drop them into launchbox. known issue: - game titles with : in string wil not create folder (WIP) (fixed) - (script updated) # Author klopjero #Teknoparrot, game Sorting by platform script for use with launchbox # The function of this script is to allow the user to scan for games that are set up in teknoparrot, sort them into platformsso that they can be added to Launchbox. # import the results using folder names. #load assembly fiels for file browser Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms #variables #get teknoparrot location Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms $FolderBrowser = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog $FolderBrowser.Description = 'Select the folder containing TeknoParrotUI.exe' $result = $FolderBrowser.ShowDialog((New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form -Property @{TopMost = $true })) if ($result -eq [Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK){ $FolderBrowser.SelectedPath } else { exit } $Teknoparrot = $FolderBrowser.SelectedPath $Teknoparrot #Check if TeknoparrotUI.exe lives in $Teknoparrot $found = Test-path $Teknoparrot\TeknoparrotUI.exe IF($found = $true) { Write-Host TheBird is alive matey!, plunderin yer games now, ship ahoy! $imports = Test-Path "$Teknoparrot\imports" IF($imports -eq $false) { new-item -ItemType Directory "$Teknoparrot\imports" } #get your setup games, including platform and full game name $TPSetgames = Get-ChildItem $Teknoparrot\gameProfiles\*.xml | select-object -ExpandProperty BaseName foreach ($TPSetgame in $TPSetgames) { $TPSetgame [xml]$XML = Get-Content $Teknoparrot\GameProfiles\$TPSetgame.xml $gamenameraw = $xml.gameprofile.gamename #clean nasty unwanted characters from game name to allow for folder creation $gamename = $gamenameraw -replace ":","" $json = Get-content $Teknoparrot\descriptions\$TPSetgame.json -raw |ConvertFrom-Json $platform = $json.platform $Tp2pt = test-path $Teknoparrot\imports\$platform\ IF ($Tp2pt -eq $false) { write-host creating new folder $Teknoparrot\imports\$platform\$gamename\$TPSetgame.xml New-Item -ItemType Directory $Teknoparrot\imports\$platform -force New-Item -itemType Directory $Teknoparrot\imports\$platform\$gamename -Force New-Item -ItemType File $Teknoparrot\imports\$platform\$gamename\$TPSetgame.xml -Force } write-host creating new folder $Teknoparrot\imports\$platform\$gamename\$TPSetgame.xml New-Item -itemType Directory $Teknoparrot\imports\$platform\$gamename -Force New-Item -ItemType File $Teknoparrot\imports\$platform\$gamename\$TPSetgame.xml -force } #open imports folder. Invoke-Item $Teknoparrot\imports } teknoparrotfinder.ps1anyway, hope you find it usefull. any feedback would be nice.
