Cocktail cab themes

[KMHamel]

Since I switched my cocktail table to the vertical themes, I am getting a CLI window breifly apearing over the theme window when I execute a game. I just apears and disapears then the game starts. Have I missed a setting some where?

Hi! Jeepguy81 thank you for the new themes you posted on the FTP they are awesome as usual, have i missed some of the themes i saw postings of the pics but could not find them on the FTP they are. Super Cobra, Time Pilot, Moon Cresta, Scramble, Bat Rider, Space Panic, and Galaxian, are they placed some where else or you didn't get a chance to upload them. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Here we go, since there isn't a full set of vert wheels (and we really wont see anything "official" until 2.0 probably) figured i'd put together the resources to add to AutoKustom that way people can make wheels for games I haven't gotten to yet in the meantime. Although browser beat me to the punch on mentioning it lol.

Resources will be up in my folder on the ftp. Just unzip the download and copy over the images to their designated resources folder in the AutoKustom program file. I only included a handful of colors at first, kindof the basics, so if you would like another color that isn't in there just pm me and i'll put it up there.

I used the same naming convention that Skarstoker used for the resources with one exception, anything that is meant for vertical wheels has -V at the end. I've also included config files so you can pull the layout up from the "Presets" drop down and have the layer placements already set. It does default back to using Hyperspin as the wheel image when you start it up again later, but you just need to pick your wheel and rotate 90 from the drop down. The size and positions are kept.

Obviously these are just ball-park settings for the wheel and logo pics, feel free to change it to what you want.

Here are some screen shots with the settings as well....

**This is the important part, make sure the canvas is 450x354

Just for variety I added another wheel border i've been toying with, it's designation is -CV (carbon vertical) . You'll see when you load it up. Also thanks again to Skarstoker and KoolBreeze for putting together this sharp little app.

hmm, I haven't had any windows popping up on game launching. I will play around with mine later and see if it does anything.

I just looked up on FTP and your right there not there, odd, this isn't the first time stuff i've uploaded has not shown up. Weird, well I will just put them back up in a little bit. Will post when im sure they are done and up.

**update

Ok, I put any that were missing back up there. I could have also just spaced out and thought I uploaded them. But they are up now!! ha

I just figured it out. When setting up mame for 1 and 2 player vertical games, I left the winstate in normal and not hidden.

Jeep, Wow man. I just cannot believe the talent and passion you have to do this. I just dont see this level of work from people that get paid at work to work. I dont know how to thank you here other than just saying thank you very much! Maybe when I'm up in MD I can give you a shout for a drink out as a reward of sorts. Thank you again.

Will --- I' should have batrider up very soon

[will2084]

Thanks Jeepguy81 for the newer themes you just added, and Thank You SORHP for your theme when you get it uploaded

[KMHamel]

Between the excellent graphics work of SORHP and Jeepguy, this project is going faster than I expected. I llove the idea of the instructions on the theme page. You can even read them. Keep up the good work.

[jeepguy81]

browser- I'm just glad people are getting use out of these themes. But I am never one to turn down a free drink! lol Funny thing is I hash out most of my ideas while im at work.

KMHamel- Thanks! If I can find usable instructions I try to incorporate them most of the time, most have stayed at least a tiny bit readable.

[SORHP]

batrider and battle bgaregga are up, sorry for the delay :>

awesome:party:

[jeepguy81]

Great job buddy!!

[KMHamel]

Is there a way to hide the game discriptions or change the color so they blend in with the backgound. If they could be flipped 90 degrees, they would fit in better with the vertical themes.

The game text can be removed in the system settings

game_text_active=false

I have just finished sorting the vertical games, getting rid of clones and unplayable games that need more than 4 buttons and one joystick.

The games are seperated in to two classes; 1 player games, those games that are made for upright/side by side play (I set two player button to a keyboard key that the arcade does not use) and 1 or 2 player games; those games that flip for two player.

Would anyone like the database list for these two classes.

Total games are 482.

Added to my wheel settings....worked like a charm..

Last thing...setup the genres.

[jeepguy81]

I'm in the process of restoring an old Ms. Pac Man cabinet I picked up at garage sale prices. I'm gonna use it as my vertical cab and will check this stuff out. Thanks guys!

[SORHP]

Thanks for the thumbs up guys!,... I present to you Dimahoo...

... of course the png would have to mess up the wheel, (it wont be like that in the real thing, obviously )

The "are you great" part was from a bad translation that was actually printed on the Korean (i think) flyer, my buds and I got a kick out of it...

[jahilton2002]

sorry if i've missed the post (power readin' at work) will there be a xml and hyperlist for this?

sorry just seen it on the ftp

[jeepguy81]

Secret80's - very cool, let us know how the build goes!

SORHP - Dimahoo looks great! Nice job, I haven't played it but now I think I will have to give it a whirl.

Jahilton - Yeah KMHamel was nice enough to post up the xml's he did. I'm sure once 2.0 hits the streets we'll see things for vert come about on hyperlist and such.

I haven't started another table yet, anyone have a favorite I haven't done yet?
