Thanks a lot ! i'm really loving LaunchBox! You can indeed add them, but they will be ignored by 7.14. However, I'm expecting to put out 7.15 either tomorrow or Wednesday so it won't be long. Thanks, btw. Loving the theme. If you're up for it I would love to see if we can get some transitions in there for the various elements. I can help with that here soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillsDoodles Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Sure thing, i just started to learn about how to make themes for LB and don't know all the things that can be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) I'd love to design intro videos for custom playlists for Launchbox....what's a good place to start learning the easiest method? I'll acquire whatever software makes it easiest/fastest. Edited December 12, 2017 by cleverest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I'm super impressed how quickly you picked it up. The theme is definitely worth some tinkering. 53 minutes ago, cleverest said: I'd love to design intro videos for custom playlists for Launchbox....what's a good place to start learning the easiest method?

I know Adobe Premiere is a fairly important part of it, but it is expensive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Jason, this is a bit out there...but...I've imported over 2,000 comics into Launchbox, and even found an intro video for it, I've manually extracted covers using ComicRack and a plugin that lets you save the first page as an image, etc...it looks amazing, but Launchbox still of course labels everything (PLAY GAME), etc...well, because it's for games, LOL...I know it's a minor thing but is it possible for me to edit that platform only and change the wording to read or view comic, etc..?

Unfortunately there's not really any good way to do that right now. I can understand it being bothersome though. Since games are of course still the priority, I can't see us focusing on stuff like that any time soon, but it is noted. I'll see if anyone else requests anything similar. You could also create a Bitbucket ticket to see if it gains any traction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Beta 15 is out now guys. Unless we run into any glaring issues, this will be the last beta before we release the official version tomorrow. I spent some serious time this morning attempting to resolve the remaining issues with prioritizing music over video audio, specifically pertaining to the game details view and going back and forth. There's a million things to catch, but I believe (I hope) I've caught them all. Let me know if anyone sees any further issues there. We'll probably run with this code for the official release regardless, unless I introduced some bugs or something serious. Any testing you guys can do would be appreciated; we're trying to avoid duplicate audio (video and music) and incorrect audio (video vs. music). Furthermore, I believe I've finally fixed the rotten black startup video issue. I was finally able to reproduce it consistently by pegging my CPU to 100% via other apps (lol). And then, figuring out the fix was relatively easy once I was able to reproduce it consistently. So let's hope that issue is solved once and for all. Hooray! Thanks all, here's to a smooth last beta and release. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDave71 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Looks like I need to beat up Beta 15. So far after removing the random Background video plugin i didn't experience the locking up. By the way are their any Retro achievements for BigBox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried Beta 15, but as of Beta 14 prioritizing music over video audio was working on the platform/playlist game views but not on the game details view.

cleverest Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Yeah sure Charco, here is the intro if that's what you mean, but I can't take credit for it, I took it from the downloads section here, haha Comic_Series.mp4 Edited December 12, 2017 by cleverest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look in Keyboard Mappings/Controller Buttons. 1 hour ago, alnyden said: I haven't tried Beta 15, but as of Beta 14 prioritizing music over video audio was working on the platform/playlist game views but not on the game details view. This was fixed in beta 15, per the above. I just put out beta 16 to fix another issue with music not playing. I introduced that bug in beta 15 while fixing another problem late in the game. Hopefully this'll be the release candidate... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porl Hendy Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) I believe the real reason you haven't live streamed is because of the attention you got when you shaved, and i predict you will return looking like this... Anyway keep up the awesome work Edited December 12, 2017 by Porl Hendy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
