Doosh Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 fata1err0r, Great app, thanks. Makes like easy till the wheel images get released. BTW with the latest version of your app, when I apply it to the mame xlm file, some of the game fonts are smaller and larger then the default size? Have you come accross this problem? I have attached a screen shot showing the different sized fonts created by the app. Any sugestions how to have the font sizes consistant? Thanks, Dariusz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebells Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I think thats just being resized to fit in the available space, you can see the shorter words are larger while longer words are smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lole Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 great !!!! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doosh Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hi joebells, Thanks for the reply. Your correct, the fonts are resized based on the number of characters in the name. I just did not notice that. The HyperSpin menu wheel also resizes the name of the game based on the number of characters the name has also. Do you know how to configure the HyperSpin settings not to resise the name of the game on the wheel? If it possible. Thanks for the app. Great job & valuble tool.

fata1err0r Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Sorry Dariusz, I figured that everyone would want thier images autocropped and didn't worry about having an option to keep them all the same length. Next release i will add a field for min logo length so if you set the min and the max to the same they will all use up the same amount of space.

Doosh Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 fata1err0r , Your idea would be a great option in you next app release. Thanks, Kind Regards, Dariusz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebells Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 any possibility of being able to specify a background image and then hyperlogo would use it as a background image for the text and make the text fit? I was thinking something like the nes wheel images would be kind of nice. I see some options in imagemagick for stuff like that so I wasn't sure how hard that would be.

thatitalian Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 This is ultra handy! i was wondering what would happen without logo wheel pics. Just a series of "no image" would be a bit of a pain! NICE APP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazz Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I just started playing around with this program... If anyone is looking for Video Game fonts check out the Game Font Database. Cool AppAny ideas, getting this error I was getting an error on Vista 64, but I don't think it was this same error. Try reinstalling the Visual Studio 2008 Redist package. Also, if you are running Vista, try running in XP compatibility mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathaldub Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Thanks guys Just ran the program from my laptop with Vista and put in the unc path to my xml file and wheel folder and worked a treat feel stupid for not doing this in the 1st place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazz Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 So what fonts are you guys using for this? I haven't come across a descent font yet that I think would fit my cabinet. Any suggestions or better yet examples of what you have done/used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathaldub Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Only using comic with a navy edge and turquise filling, its only a stop gap till all themes are created, now all I have to do is modify the background to fit the videos a bit better. before i found this i've been making individual wheel images, of which i'll still use till better are available great work lads BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visitor Q Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 You might need the Visual Studio 2008 Redist to run: Visual Studio 2008 Redist Ok to install on Vista 64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doosh Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 fata1err0r, Just an idea you may want to consider in future builds is the ability to change the font image colour so that you have a multi colour output. By this I mean say every 3rd font image is RED, every 4th is green etc. This way while proper wheel images are being created & since the original images if placed on the wheel will look in a way multi colour random sorted, having my sugestion in the mean time would be ideal. I have attempted to think of a way to do it with your currect version of the app using creating single multiple outputs each having a different colour font applied (run one at a time), but merging it to once single output having multi colours is to much of a administrative task, unless you have an idea? thanks, and keep up the good work, Dariusz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fata1err0r Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hey guys sorry I've been busy working for a games company here in Melbourne. I'm not sure if this program is needed anymore, the lastest version of hyperspin looks awesome. I've open sourced the code on google, let me know if it's still a usefull tool and if its still got some worth. Message me if you want svn access to comit to the project. http://code.google.com/p/hyperlogo/ cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathaldub Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Is there anywhere I can download HyperLogo? When I try the link I get a "Page Cannot Be Found" error. I dont think this tool is needed for hyperspin anymore as hyperspin now includes its own wheel text(changable in hyperhq) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
