Jason Carr Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 I do! I do! ;) @ALIE, yes should be safe to delete your images folders. They are automatically re-created as needed. We should definitely create a new post for custom themes, and perhaps even a new forum section. I'll be on that very soon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinra358 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 So I'm starting to make my theme. Pressing cancel on the controller won't allow me to get out of the options section. However, I can get out with the mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hi shinra, what views after you customized? Does it work with the keyboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpop Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 so will this be the start of visual themes from hyperspin being used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hi @kpop, as much as I'd love to be able to automatically use the existing themes from Hyperspin, sadly that wouldn't be possible without weeks and weeks of focused development, and nothing else would get done. So I'm not going to rule it out for the long term future, but unfortunately that isn't going to happen any time soon. It would be extremely difficult to translate the Hyperspin themes into a format that works well in Big Box. Truthfully, though, the XAML approach we have is ultimately much more powerful, and we'll be making it even more powerful once we add a proper plugin system and such. But unfortunately it does mean that new themes will have to be built. But I have no doubt that the community will come up with some awesome stuff very soon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinra358 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Jason Carr said Hi shinra, what views after you customized? Does it work with the keyboard? Hello, I hadn't started modding yet when I noticed it. I put in my code to unlock, went in to options, chose something, pressed the cancel/backspace button on controller and it stays in options and never goes back out of it. Enter and mouse clicking BACK seems to work. Okay so on a fresh start do this and don't use kb and m. Only controller. You can't get back out of options with the controller until you use the kb or mouse to click on BACK first. After that, you can use the controller again to back out of options.

Jason Carr Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Thanks shinra, I'll take a look at that. Sounds odd. I just put out a new beta to resolve an error that some people were seeing on startup while renaming the folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpop Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 there was a thread on here talking about using videos as themes as the Hyperspin Cinematic Project is doing, would that be a option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmichel21 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 i update beta version new and i have this error System.NullReferenceException: Referencia a objeto no establecida como instancia de un objeto. en () en LaunchBox.Program.RenameImageFoldersFor63() en (String[] ) en LaunchBox.Program.Main(String[] args) and dont start launchbox... please help me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hi @kpop, absolutely. You can actually probably already do that by tweaking the XAML, though I need to provide a control that lets you specify specific video paths (right now it's hardcoded to the game videos). But that's definitely a direction we want to go, yes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 paulmichel21, I just put out beta 3 which should fix that issue.

emko Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I selected all my games in a platform so i can do Download Metadata and Images all i need is for it to grab the missing images shouldn't the option "Yes, but do not replace any existing feilds" do that? it says LaunchBox will update metadata, but only for empty fields. I tried that but it just started downloading all the images i already have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Because of the changes made, you'll most likely need to download a lot of images again because it's needing to put them in new locations. I backed up my image folder, removed it, and am essentially starting over. Especially for the size of my library, it's just easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emko Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 it makes no sense why do many images named correct do not show up on launchbox yet when i redownload the same file it shows up? LEGO Harry Potter_ Years 5-7.jpg from before updateing to new folder location paths where Images\Nintendo Wii\Front\LEGO Harry Potter_ Years 5-7.jpg Images\Nintendo Wii\Box - Front/LEGO Harry Potter_ Years 5-7.jpg so i make launchbox grab the image from the database i get LEGO Harry Potter_ Years 5-7-01.jpg i delete it so i still have LEGO Harry Potter_ Years 5-7.jpg refresh images and its missing again what i have to do is delete the file and let launchbox download it but why? and why for random games only most worked correct. is launchbox storing image names in a local database or in the xml? and the image downloader does not understand i already have all the images, before this beta if i have the image the checkbox would be unchecked. it seems to only effect box - front, every other image type works fine at least i think they do.
