Great stuff -
Will hopefully check this project out again later today
-
Quality work again! Keep 'em coming! -
I didn't extract the images separately - I just extracted the zip file download to the Launchbox/Themes folder as per your instructions. If you go into the Realistic Marquee FX folder and then the _Realistic Marquee FX folder, the .png images are in there. I have the latest beta of LB. EDIT - I think it's actually my fault for misreading your instructions - they say to " 1. Extract folder '_Realistic Marquee FX' in 'Launchbox\Themes' " - I extracted the folder Realistic Marquee FX instead, without the "_". The folder names are so similar I overlooked it, sorry! My next question is do you know how to remove the blur effect from behind the marquee, as it doesn't really work so well when there is a marquee frame. -
Thanks man, will definitely check that out. Have you considering de-bezelling that monitor for a cleaner look? For my current marquee monitor I am just using the laptop monitor (the laptop is running BigBox with an external 4K monitor being the main screen). Wonder if you could address the issue I added in my edit?

This looks amazing! Thanks so much. Really brings an extra level of realism. Will definitely be trying this out. Out of interest, do you have any recommendations for the marquee monitor? Edit: Just tried it and it didn't work for me. The instructions say to " 4. Pick the style you like and overwrite the GameMarqueeView.xaml file in the 'your theme of choice/Views' folder, might be a good idea to back up the file first however. " There is no GameMarqueeView.xaml in my theme/Views folder however. The theme I am using is CriticalZone V2 - Bluebox. I tried copying the xaml across anyway, and then ran BigBox - but the above effect wasn't applied to my marquees on the marquee screen.

i've also noticed this and woul be keen to get the screenshots in a particular order - though when I mentioned it the level of interest in being able to specify a screenshot order was not particularly high....
-
Sounds great! I would also pick those 3 first. Then (as we're talking consoles) probably Sony. After that we're probably getting into computer categories

Sure - here it is:
-
Renaming it to Soulbringer-01 doesn't change anything; but why would it? I have all 5 screenshot types selected in the screenshot priorities.
-
Still having the problem of screenshot images (which are correctly tagged and displayed when editing a game) not showing in the game details pane. @Jason Carr you had previously asked about the file format - the screenshots are just .jpg. This is how it looks when you edit the game - it shows fine and is correctly tagged: But the game details pain has the heading "screenshots" but nothing below it: Looking in the file directory, the .jpg is there: This problem has been present throughout the last number of betas.

Great work! As I group my platforms by manufacturer (Nintendo, Sega, etc) it would be great to have similar videos for manufacturers!
-
Pretty cool work! Not sure about the dancing robot though -
Flash collection (Flashpoint) import guide
Retrofrogg replied to Retrofrogg's topic in Collections and Builds
If it works fine in the Flashpoint frontend then you should be able to get it working through Launchbox. If it opens the flashplayer and then nothing, the problem is likely that the web server and redirector haven't started properly. Does your batch file start these processes? -

Try keeping the directory structure the same as in the download; with the launcher and the games in the same location. The media and XMLs should be copied across to your Launchbox folders however. -
Rather than looking in the folders, wouldn’t it be better for this app to link in with Launchbox to see which covers are correctly associated with it? That way there wouldn’t be such errors. Or if that’s not possible, maybe allow for any -01 -02 or other file name variations.

Does the standalone Flashpoint browser launch the games for you OK? -
Thought I would re-visit this since it seems to be undergoing active development again. Within the first minute of use I have come across a bug/problem. I loaded up the Wii list, selected the "missing" box, and it shows a bunch of games having a missing front box - but when I go into Launchbox, the front boxes are there.
-
Nice! Can we have platform-specific game views in Launchbox too, please Would be really nice to be able to adjust box size and spacing per platform.
-
I would prefer this too. There may be some vocal users who don't. Best would be to make it an option

What happens when you try and run the games in Launchbox? The most likely problem is that the web server and redirector aren't starting up properly, or alternatively the links to the games within Launchbox aren't correct. Looking at your batch file, it seems that you have edited the "cd" lines at the top to the wrong thing. These should not be pointing to 3 different directories. It should be "cd arcade", then "cd games", then "cd flash" in order to reach the flash subdirectory. Basically this part of the batch file points towards the "flash" directory" (not the ones you have specified). -
Pretty cool. -
Thanks for your reply @Jason Carr, that sounds great. @GreenGriffon - just because you consider it "nit picky or of questionable value" doesn't mean that everyone else does. I think Jason's doing a fine job of separating the wheat from the chaff.
-
Yes, I suppose allowing the user the option would be ideal - but more work, as you say.
-
In the game details pane, can we have the game title screenshot appear above any other screenshots? Currently the order seems to be random, as each time I click on the game the order is different.
