BritneysPAIRS Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 it uses a plus minus controll method so a stick is needed
Gilou9999 Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) hmmmm can look into it sometime..... all my videos are native 640x480 all but about 3-4 of them Screenshot.Area are the 2 sizes for horizontal and vertical Body.ScrollArea.SingleRow.Detail.Screenshot.Color.UpperLeft = 255 0 0 0Body.ScrollArea.SingleRow.Detail.Screenshot.Color.UpperRight = 255 0 0 0Body.ScrollArea.SingleRow.Detail.Screenshot.Color.LowerRight = 255 0 0 0Body.ScrollArea.SingleRow.Detail.Screenshot.Color.LowerLeft = 255 0 0 0 but the emu bug (auto scroll )??? no idea what that means might have locked in the alha fade for videos to xbe so it can change with screensaver mode or no.... cant remember ill need to look at the sources again. As its a bit untidy as it once had screenshots and video at the same time option in settings. unfortunatelly that's what i thought, the alpha fade is hard coded in the xbe... (and the vertical video previews are certainly hard coded too...).I hope you will allow the skinners to modify these values in the skin.ini, because like it is; we can't work on some new skins for coinOps (wich would be welcome; i like the original skin, but more skins to choose is always better) p.s.: You will see, if you put these values in the "Screenshot.Color", the emu will autoadvance the roms names (like if you are continuously pressing the "up" button) weird...

BritneysPAIRS Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 vertical video previews are not hardcoded at all I told you want to search for to find both horizontal and vertical screensizes.... Body.ScrollArea.SingleRow.Detail.Screenshot.Area = horizontal (or vertical if you have option of stretch vertical game previews)Body.ScrollArea.SingleRow.Screenshot.Area = vertical (unless stretch vertical game preview is enabled) and yes alpha fade is locked at present. I asked for PSD to skin stuff a while back but had no demos so skin stuff was as is. I think CoinOPS ignite R4 uses a non locked alpha fade for videos (the one where the screensaver has alpha fade by default) Show me the new skin and code it up I can look to see if its worth me attaching alha fade to screenshot alpha fade and where any new features for the skin is worth my time really.
Gilou9999 Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 I haven't worked a lot on it because of those problems So i think i will be able to show you something next week, if you can just change the locked alpha fade, it will allow more skinners to provides new alternate skins. The videos in coinOps look really great with showcase, too bad the alpha shade is hiding 30% of the video preview.Thx for looking into this thought
BritneysPAIRS Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 as I say if someone comes up with a better design CoinOPS and its code can change to allow for it. also I like it alpha faded I had it the other way and dual previews but both I hated so both have been remarked out codewise
BritneysPAIRS Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 Coding is getting harder and harder for me as my build has alot of code that isnt really for gen public now...the whole multiple core thing is getting more and more imbedded into my build. Keeping them in sync is getting harder and harder really
cba.gy Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 So as has been said before, many times, the skin has locked features. Even though youve insisted it doesnt. Eat my shorts young man.
BritneysPAIRS Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 it doesnt at all... and when you said it there was only screenshot (it supports more than what is in any other MAME on the xbox skin wise, alot more is opened than any other version and also alot more than what I had to deal with orig).... PS any more of this stuff and ill show you guys locked down WARNING 1 any more of this crap the next version will be encrypted and xmls locked and anything else I feel like into one encryted but smaller file im so sick of so called experts telling me whats what when they have about 10percent of the understanding of whats in CoinOPS and how it works (10percent is probably wrong its more like less than 1percent of whats going on under the hood) if you dont want to listen to me and tell me whats what you can add the stuff and do it as your the expert.
BritneysPAIRS Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 this is your guys final warning............... on this crap im already in no mood to finish R4 for you guys as it is.... as I finished it mostly weeks ago, this stuff makes me change direction away from this crap and work on my own personal build and not bother spending a few hours to sync it with a public build
The-Ice-Man Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Why on earth are you wasting time making two separate versions? One for the peasants and a super duper special secret version for yourself? It's no one's fault here if you're wasting your own time in such a way. Just make one version however the hell you want, and either share it with people or don't. As for skins, people like making them. Five of us were making new skins for FBA-XXX Pro. Why? Coz people like to customise. Look at Final Burn 1.1 by Nes. A new skin popped up in days, but I've never yet seen a CoinOps skin made. Whether that's coz of some coding issue or whatever I don't know, but surely it's worth spending a bit of time working with someone who has an interest in making one, like Gilou, instead of basically saying 'Make something yourself and I'll see about allowing it if I approve'. One of the nicest presentation features of emulators like FBA-XXX Pro, ZsnesXbox, and the Xports, are selectable skins. So that you can change the look and feel of the emulator on a whim, by switching skins, and so that if you're creative, you can make your own personal one so that it looks and feels exactly how you want it. Selectable skins is a brilliant feature on any program. As for you not feeling like finishing this next 'public' build, you're biggest problem is that you hate other people expressing their opinions if they aren't in line with yours. You see it as them attacking you and it hurts you so you retaliate, and then it turns very quickly into a fight of sarcasm and bitching (like above) where you plead that you're the victim who just wants to be left alone to code and develop your brainchild. The thing is though you keep asking for people's opinions, inviting people to comment. Making thread after thread on this forum, to the point where you make polls where you ask people what you should do next. You're like the school teacher who asks the naughty pupil what he has to say for himself, and then gets angry when the kid talks back. Since we're on our final warning, I suggest everyone just take a few steps back and leave the master to his work. I mean that last bit somewhat seriously.
BritneysPAIRS Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 threads locked good bye beautifull world
The-Ice-Man Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Is it? Edit: Guess I broke the lock. Sorry. Edited October 26, 2009 by The-Ice-Man
BritneysPAIRS Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 you bet.... its locked (I cant stand critisism of stuff that isnt researched or repeated time and time again) "CoinOPS reignite R3" is the last version of CoinOPS there are plenty of experts ( that at least think they know what they are doing ) around here. Good luck everyone I would recommend CoinOPS reignite SHOWCASE for most people it will be what they want....I recommend trying it and not listening to so called experts. There will be a SHOWCASE 2 coming with many changes but no info will be given at present...no release date or anything other than that build is out of date with my Build. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3MgoLAbqF4 for a video of SHOWCASE in SD in motion PS dont believe that I locked anything on the skin or romwise....the skin is full customisable more so than FBA thats for sure. Due to the way it does alpha channels in different pngs its a bit harder to skin without PS knoweldge. The only thing locked is alpha fade in videos and ive fixed that with a new option in the ini to enable/disable video alpha fade. But if you want to skin knock yourself out dont believe thats its locked cause I can tell you 100percent it isnt locked in anyway it just requires the work put in to make it happen PS no PMs please!!! I dont need any options anymore you can talk to the experts I know they will move things forward (sarcasim) with there great ideas and a I definatly know whats hes thinking (sarcasim) cause I know im in the loop all ill say is newbes (maybe sarcasim) . I would say prove me wrong but thats old and tired we all know they have no skills and are just going to be tired trollers, but ill leave you with them and they can tell you what they know is happening behind closed doors now. Ask them anything you want they know whats what for sure and they arnt shy to tell you what and how im thinking (when most of the time they are on newbe levels with suggestions and facts and they hate that I dont listen to there unrearched ideas that they think are is good stuff, at the vary least you would hope they would be humbled by there lack of knoweldge but its the oposite) PS to below..... ive heard for so long how ive locked stuff in the skin and only ever added stuff, im sick of listening to its locked, its locked its locked when it isnt locked at all or ever has been just stuff added to it. Being told time and time again that ive done stuff is disgraceful when I know I havent
+ T + Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 any more of this crap the next version will be encrypted and xmls locked and anything else I feel like into one encryted but smaller fileYou've done some great work on CoinOPS BP. But in my opinion this kind of comment and attitude is disgraceful for a developer. That's all I've got to say here.
