    RetroHumanoid Cinematics & Refried Theme

    in Big Box Custom Themes

    Posted

    Anyone having issues with backgrounds or default borders not showing,it's possible the names may have to be adjusted on the artwork files...I name a few of my systems slightly different,and I may or may not have forgotten to change the names of those art files to a community standard. So if art isn't showing,check the theme images folder for it first.

    Unified Refried 2.0

    What's different in 2.0?

    *This replaces the old version of Refried entirely. DO NOT merge this new version with the old one.

    *All platform addon themes from the first version of Refried have been merged into one single addon called "Queso Fresco" (because it tastes great on top of refried beans...that's why). Therefore all of those older addon themes are no longer needed.

    *Requires Launchbox 9.4 or above to function properly

    *Revised Install instructions (please read them below if you are just starting out with the theme)

    *Added custom controller icons for play modes in the game description on some systems...this will get finished in the future

    *More great additions made by Ghostlines to the theme

    *Added the fullscreen video view to all platforms (view 4)

    *Improved the artwork slightly for the Big Box options menus

    Important note**If you install this theme,and the artwork does not display properly for a platform on your system,then more than likely it is a naming conflict between your platform and the files in the theme. To fix this issue,you must locate these files and change the name to your actual platforms name:

    1.Images/Theme/Background/(name of your platform that is mislabeled)

    2.Images/Theme/VideoBorder/(name of your platform that is mislabeled)

    If you install the Queso Fresco addon as well,then you must also rename the custom view xaml files to your platform name.

    I set out to make an alternate version to the beautiful Unified theme,with modifications here and there,yet,as I worked on it more and more,I started to go a different direction slightly...and thus Refried was born. This theme is built to focus on artwork,and showcase each system in bright colorful high definition artwork. I have drawn all new original arcade cabinets,and designed custom borders for each platform,which set each system apart from each other,while maintaining a unified appearance across the board.

    The main difference between this,and many other themes that are out there...are the video borders. When using the Default theme,all video borders are the same size across the entire theme...but,when using the addons,the video borders will then fit the system properly...so that the video for Game Boy Advance,will fit the GBA Video Border...and the PSP video,will fit the PSP Video Border. In other words,by using the custom view addons,it allows the theme to represent the system perfectly...rather than the same size border for everything.

    This theme is more than capable of running without a single addon theme installed,and only using the Default...the addons are merely to extend the experience of each system,with special added artwork,and tweaks.On the other hand,the Addons rely on the Default themes structure,and will not work without the default theme installed.

     

    There are multiple views included with the default theme,including -

    1.Border with No Box/Cart/Disc Art

    2.Border with Box/Cart/Disc Art

    3.Border with Box/Spinning Cart/Disc Art

    4.Full Screen Video w/Centered enlarged wheel

    5.Border Text List View with Box/Cart/Disc Art

    The Queso Fresco addon has 5 views -

    1.Special Artwork/Special Border with No Box/Cart/Disc Art

    2.Special Border with Box/Cart/Disc Art  (With wheel fade)

    3.Special Border with Box/Cart/Disc Art  (No wheel fade)

    4.Full Screen Video w/Centered enlarged wheel

     5.Special Border Text List View with Box/Cart/Disc Art

    **If the system has CD's/Discs,then the Disc will spin in Views 2 and 3...but,if the system has carts or floppies,then they will not spin in views 2 and 3.

    The Arcade portion of the Queso Fresco addon has 5 views -

    1.Dynamic Marquees with Character Artwork

    2.No Dynamic Marquees with Character Artwork

    3.Dynamic Marquees with Advert/Flyers

    4.Full Screen Video w/Centered enlarged wheel

    5.Text List View with Advert/Flyers/Cabinets

    With the Queso Fresco addon installed,the arcade platforms are capable of displaying Video Marquees for each game,as well as regular marquees, in the marquee area of the cabinets (Some samples are included,and more are on the way)*

    Any Video Marquees must be placed in "LaunchBox/Themes/Unified Refried/Images/Theme/Addons/_Arcade/Video Marquees/" and must be in mp4 format

    In order to make this work properly,you must go into LaunchBox options,and change the priority for Cart Back Image to Arcade - Marquee,and uncheck anything else.

    Installation:

    1.Download the Default theme (Unified Refried) ,and place it in your "Launchbox/Themes" folder

    2.If you have not done so,you will need to unblock the Plugins...This does not have to be done for every addon theme,as unblocking them once,in the default,is all that is necessary...excerpt taken from unified description -

    Quote

    Go to the “Plugins” folder inside of the extracted folder and right-click on of the .dll files. Choose Properties -> Click on “Unblock” at the bottom of the window. Close the window. Repeat that for all .dll files in that folder. If the "Unblock" button isn't there than you are already good to go.


    3.Set the theme to "Unified Refried" in Options/Views/Theme

    4.If installing any of the addons,simply unzip the addon,and open the folder that was created. In this case we will use the Queso Fresco addon as an example.

    5.Place the two folders (Images and Views) into the Unified Refried default theme folder,merging the folders when prompted.

    6.That's it! ....When you load up Big Box,the artwork should be changed to the Queso Fresco alternate art.

    Pictures of Installation process for those that need them...If this is your first time using Refried you can skip step 1

    Refried Theme Platform Logo Set

    View File

    A set of Logos, to match perfectly with my Refried theme. A special Thank you to @RetroNi for allowing me to use his white bordered logo set,with a few changes,for the creation of the Platform Logos in this set...As well as @CriticalCid for giving me the unspoken inspiration to even start this project in the first place!

    The Logos are seperated to download by category..including each playlist covered in the theme.

     

    Inside of the Unified Refried theme there is a "Images" folder. Inside you need to create a folder labelled "Platforms." Inside you will need to create another folder called "Clear Logo." Inside the Clear Logo folder is where you paste the set. 

    Launchbox/Themes/Unified Refried/Images/Platforms /Clear Logo

    After making the change, be sure to refresh platform wheel images located in options (Image Cache).

     

    You can find the theme here....

    You can find the matching video set here...

    You have probably already thought of this, but an Intro video for when you load Big Box to match the unique style you've gone for would just make everything look like the best complete package ?

    I did think about it yes...but,probably not gonna happen...from me anyways...unless a patron requests it. I just have alot on my plate atm,and an intro is something i'm not able to make time for,and I don't really want to delay the release of the theme any further.

    Holly molly! This is great. So much work went into this. Can't wait for the rest.

    Once you have finished everything, will you be posting a template so anyone who wants to add an additional system can do it and still retain the same look?

    Well,since this is the only theme I ever intend on doing,I will probably end up covering everything out there at some point myself...but,I have no problem releasing the assets for people to make their own systems...once everything current is out there.

    Refried Theme Platform Video Set

    View File

    A set of 155 (with more to come) platform videos,that I have created to match perfectly with my Refried theme. I have used the same character,Background,and border art in the videos,that is in the theme, for the majority of the videos. I am sure it's obvious where the influence came from for the theme,but, this whole thing started out as an alternate version to the Unified theme,which sort of took off and became something slightly different overall. While I do have plans for about 60+ more videos to add to this set,I am afraid I cannot take requests,at least until the project,as a whole, is completed. A special Thank you to @RetroNi for allowing me to use his white bordered logo set,with a few changes,for the titles in these videos...As well as @CriticalCid for giving me the unspoken inspiration to even start this project in the first place!

    RetroHumanoid Favorites Video Set

    View File

    A set of 22 Favorites Playlist category videos. These are subjective to the persons taste in games,so I included games that I prefer as favorites in the videos. Some may or may not agree with the choices used in some of the videos,but,this was made for my own personal setup,and If anyone wants to use them as well, I figured I would just make them available.At this time I have no plans to add any more of these...but,If I get the itch to make the category bigger,I may.

     

     

     

     

    The style of these videos matches the previous sets I have released

    Genres

    and Collections

    And the Developer Video set here....

     

     

    Lagging Platform Categories

    @Jason Carr That is correct. I am reffering to Big Box. While browsing through Platform Categories,it lags loading the assets. First my marquee stuff pops up,then the main screen populates with video and info. The time it takes for this to happen is longer or shorter depending on the category. Longest time is about 8-10 seconds total for categories that have alot of platforms on the second level. I have tried turning off the marquee,as well as switching to wmp for video playback,both resulted in no change to the behavior.

    Just want to verify,that after removing all but a few Collection playlist xml's from the data folder,and starting bigbox,and moving to the Collections category,in the Platform Category menu,it no longer suffers from the lag. So,it is most definitely tied to the amount of Platforms/Playlists in that category.

    @Jason Carr Hey...So I would first like to say that I did not experience this issue in 8.7,or any version previous to that...this only just started happening in 8.8,and has continued in 8.9.

    I have a bit of lag when switching through Platform Categories (Arcade,Consoles,Handhelds,etc.),but,I do not get this lag while browsing Platforms (Atari 2600,Atari 5200,etc.).

    The amount of lag seems to have something to do with the amount of Platforms that are in that category. This is only a guess,but,looking at the behavior,it looks to be the most probable reason for it. When I go to Arcade (which I have roughly 30 Platforms/Playlists),it loads up in about 2 seconds...when I go to Collections (which I have about 270 Playlists),it loads up in about 8 seconds....when I go to Pinball (which has only 5 Platforms),it loads up almost instantly.

    I have tried multiple themes,and they all show the same lag in the Platform Category View,but not in the Platform View.

    I did reinstall 8.7,and it did not have the problem anymore,but,I switched back to 8.9 because my platforms were all messed up when I rolled back,I assume due to all of the changes made between the two versions. I also updated windows,and my graphics drivers are up to date.I have not tried the latest beta.

    It is run off a cabinet.No Firewall,No AntiVirus,No Adware Blocker....I don't even use the web browser on that PC.

    If you need more info,I will be happy to provide it,Thanks.

    @goofersseems like all I have are the 2 default bezels below.I did see the couple threads you posted under,and that you were working on making some,and I also grabbed the pack of 18 bezels for mame that are available...but,I still have to implement them into rocketlauncher myself. Here is a link to the google drive,but,you probably already have these ,as you posted in that same thread... https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Z-XWMVh4IsW_uAOklrwSa3idPFe9zJug

    All good bro :)
    Finishing the FullHD NES cart set, and doing with a couple of other users a UHD Arcade cabs full set with transparent bgs. Will be taking a break from creating stuff after that project.
    Hope to see you around!

    I am actually looking really forward to the Cabinet set you guys are making...glad someone is taking on that task. Thanks for that
