HLM - Minter Helper Checker Whatever 2.0.2

[horseyhorsey]

In HS it turns yes to no and in hlm turns yes to empty. It would be good if there was a column for instruction cards also. They are placed on the bezels folder and named

Instruction card - name - author - position

I guess a check for the word instruction card would create the hit.

Cheers

Instruction cards belong with bezel folder. Can change that in the future if it was "really" needed, even just for the exports might be an idea.

I can't see anything wrong with what you've mentioned there, I have clicked everywhere and it's all good. In HLM or HS it's all fine this end.

Maybe somehow I've uploaded an in between version, although I have no idea how that would've happened because it was a brand new build.

I've built again & uploaded. No rush but if you can let us know if it's ok whenever , cheers potts.

Appears to work now mate. However why does it ask for the location of your imagemagick folder....which doesn't exist?

Ok cool thanks.

That's for the wheel creator, think it must be hardcoded for the moment . I will finish that tomorrow morning.

Cheers potts

[horseyhorsey]

Ok, just a quick fix on the asking for the paths. Added options in the settings menu to set the paths now.

Will try get some time in a bit to get the wheel creator running 100%.

Fix asking Imagemagick path.

Back again after a long lay off Decided to sort out my PC games section as it "was" quite a mess.

I had noticed the HS wheels were not being renamed when you dragged over to contents, this is fixed now.

Added in the quick theme creation, drag an image over whilst selected on the current games theme cell and will knock up a theme with background. It uses a template "theme.xml" in the main directory. You can replace this with your own. I do want to add a bit more functionality to this but for now I just wanted something to quickly create theme files from background/wallpapers i drag over.

Got a "HLM-Check has stopped working" when starting this version. Is this known or do you need some more information?

[horseyhorsey]

No, sorry. Did the 1.03 work?

One thing I had noticed whilst trying to edit a theme made by this was the compression level is set so they will not open in HyperTheme, has been fixed.

[marxkemp]

No, sorry. Did the 1.03 work?

Just tried 1.03, didn't work. v1.0 still does. I'm on windows 8 and tried different compatibility settings.

Going to look into it now. Thanks.

As sort of requested I decided to knock up some Wiki for this app. You might find some really nice tips here and things you didn't know you could achieve with it to help you make your media for Hyperlaunch.

I need to do the HyperSpin part but will not take as long as the HLM.

[potts43]

Nice one...you worked quick ;-)

[horseyhorsey]

Cheers potts43 , hope you like

[horseyhorsey]

Will be ready to put out a newer version of this as soon as I've finished some small bits. If anyone wants to jump on a dropbox shared folder to try it out you're more than welcome to, send me a pm with email.

Cheers.

I hope this is good enough for usage now. V2.0

Main changes is that it's written in WPF.

Added the extra images (genres, special art, pointers etc.) to be scanned when selected on Main Menu.

Simple wheel creator on wheel button.

Revised Bezel editor with proper renaming. Set your author name in options.

Revised Image options window on drag drop of Fades, backgrounds etc... proper renaming.

Youtube downloader.

Probably a lot more small bits I've forgotten about.

Todo:

Improve wheel creations. Gradients etc, background layer/frames for wheel.

Implement quick theme.

Video chopper (define given time to chop part of a video)

Add extra HS images scanning to miss/have lists

Filter view based on if game has been played.

Make use of favourites.txt - Adding/removing/filtering

Alternate main menu.xml button. (Good, if like me, you have a master main menu.xml which isn't used all the time)

Add background HS mp3s to be scanned.

Music player. Try and cater for all formats like Amstrad, amiga , ST .ym music files. Add convert to mp3, so possible to play in HyperPause.

BOUND to be a few bugs or something not working as it should, but I've tried my best in testing it. Testers have not given me much information apart from requests, so I'm presuming it's not too bad!

I have been lucky enough to have been beta-testing it and it is AWESOME!

[horseyhorsey]

Thank you Craig.

[potts43]

Great effort!

[horseyhorsey]

Nice Potts, enjoy. If you come across anything that shouldn't be happening give us a shout, cheers!

[horseyhorsey]

As I was revamping my other script gen app for videos I thought it would be a nice touch to make your own intro videos in this. You can manually select your videos or push the random button.

It generates a .avs file for avisynth. You can drag this file onto virtualdub and convert yourself, then into mp4.

Some problems you could encounter would be that audio rates & video sizes do not match , but most of the time its ok , and you can manually edit the file anyway.

Enjoy!

Added scan and remove empty Hyper launch Media folders

Hey, that's pretty sweet, especially since I am a Virtualdub user.

[horseyhorsey]

Now no excuse to get tired of the same old intro videos. Very easy for anyone to make their own from fave games!

Let me know if you have any problems, cheers!

I have been using v1.04 and it works great. Yesterday I tried v2.0 but get an error "appgridWPF stopped working".i run W7 64 ultimate. Am I missing a program/libraries? (please assume that i am stupid!).

And thank you for putting your time in this great piece of software. Cheers mate

[horseyhorsey]

That is something I've never heard of. It doesn't run at all for you? or does it happen whilst doing something?

Should work for all windows from XP upwards. I'm on win 8.1 64.

[Silverback]

Looking forward to using this Horsey. Thank you!

[bclout]

Thanks for the reply, i will put a screen shot of the message when I get home. The program does not run at all btw.
