MyEmulators - new plugin ID and .xml-file (1 Viewer)

[joz]

Hey Emph,

try this one. It was my skinning after all, the plugin tries to control something which I removed cause I can't get it to show anywhere This bit of XML;

<control>
<type>image</type>
<description>description background</description>
<id>39</id>
<posX>60</posX>
<posY>320</posY>
<width>190</width>
<height>205</height>
<texture>Playing_cover.png</texture>
</control>

I guess I'll post in the thread of MyEmulators bout more clarity on this and other stuff that can be configured but is not in the default skin file.
This is really alpha and just has basic functionality in Aeon Wide. There's still loads to do. Just wanted to give you a heads up

p.s.
I redownloaded the plugin just in case. My skinning still works with it and to me on first sight nothing seems changed (could be some inner workings)

Yes! Now works for me. Could you make the thumb bigger and have "keep aspect" on it? I'm using posters instead of screenshots for my games. If you prefer not to, I can change that myself.

I was trying to get that part right on my setup, but not all my thumbs are the same size so first I have to batch resize them all. I will make mine for 128x128 thumbs, but it's easy enough to change, you'll probably figure it out if not I can tell you how to do it.

Edit:
A much improved version with regards to icon/filmstrip view. I based it on 128x128 thumbs. If it doesn't work for you I can tell you what needs to be adjusted

Here's the xml for Monochrome and Indigo

And Pilehave already did his for MediaStream

Psycho Reptile
Do you know what the bit of xml I posted (first post on this page) is about?

 

[Psycho Reptile]

I think it's a image to go behind the emulator/rom description, purely for asthetic reasons. I've left it in my xml but set the texture to "-"

Psycho Reptile: Don't forget that the plugin ID has changed as well if you have this implemented in your Game Menu. Thanks for the .xml.

Hey Emph,

If you have any more feedback or suggestions on my skinning feel free to post 'em.
I'll try my best to get everything as smooth as possible.

I think at least now you're all set right? The skins I use most are already posted.

I'm currently using StreamedMP. And it has no working skin. I tried to use the Mediastream by Pilehave .xml, Psycho Reptiles Monochrome .xml as well as yours and none look very nice at my resolution for some reason. When I tried PR's .xml inside Monochrome all views are perfect though. I would really like to have that working in StreamedMP, but I'm busy with some other projects right now, otherwise I would do a "port" myself.

I don't have time to play games in MP right now anyway, so feel no pressure. I'll have a look at anything you'll be willing to do, and can do screens as well if you want. Have you tried Monochrome with the new .xml?

Edit: I have done some work on Psycho Reptiles .xml, trying to get it to work in StreamedMP.

Well, now it's almost good for me. I have done some work on all views, although I'm just gonna use list view. This is for StreamedMP, but should work with Mediastream by Pilehave as well (same graphic names I hope). There's an animated hidden menu coming in from the left with view change etc. from the Monochrome .xml I've reworked. As I'm using posters, this might now look good for everyone. I can edit it if someone want's to use square thumbs or whatever.

Edit: If someone can help me get 5 or 7 posters in filmstrip view that zooms up in the current size It'd be much appreciated.
