CaptainCPS-X's FB Alpha Extra Stuff WIP
« on: February 19, 2007, 02:02:14 PM »
This are the things I have been working the last couple of days,...

Display number of drivers listed (the dialog is modified too ^^)




CPS / NeoGeo Layer Manager



NeoGeo Sound/Music changer (Finally!! xDD but still looking a way to do the same stuff with QSound)
[this works using PAGEGUP (next track), PAGEDOWN (prev track) and HOME (reset to first track) Keys]



The music track change works like Kawaks, some games dont play nothing, maybe i have to try other sound codes [?]
, oh and this does not feature tracklist for now... all games tracks start at 0x0720

I will post the code later when i finish working on them ^^

SeeYaa!!
:biggrin:

PS: If somebody can give me info on how QSound works with Z80 CPU maybe i can add the track change for CPS2 Games ^^

ThanX ^^ here I bring more pictures of the new extra stuff...

Title Screen Preview



Ingame Preview



Game Flyer



I added the feature like buttons but it can be simplified later not to need the three buttons and instead of that change between Title, Ingame and Flyers with a click in the Preview Picture... but for now thats what i got =)

SeeYaa!!

I missed this...

Title Screen previews are placed in the common dir 'fba/previews/'
Ingame previews are placed in a new dir for them in 'fba/previews/ingame/'
Flyers are placed in 'fba/flyers/' like MAME32

There is a extra preview capture function for Ingame previews (so no need to capture manually and all the stuff), the capture is saved in the 'previews/ingame/' dir...



that's it for now ^^

SeeYaa!!

Hi man! sorry for the late reply ^^U yesterday was Win32 day lol xD, I finally understood a 'LOT' of stuff related to Windows GUI...and well I did some fixes to the Extra features

Later i gonna put some pictures of the Fixes, but the new and most important stuff i added was OwnerDraw Buttons (replacing Cancel and PLAY!) on the Select Game Dialog, ...after hours of research and errors I finished the hard stuff, and now its posible to show icons on the buttons using some tricky functions i wrote

OwnerDraw Button Controls (WIP)



oh and IQ, about the coding of this stuff, I will organize everything later to post the code, I just want to make all easy to understand and install  :wink:

SeeYaa!!

I really like the load dialog changes. Something like that has been needed for ages. You should post the code or at least send it to Treble_Winner so it gets put in the next version. Well done. :)

I actually got inspired to update the dialog a bit based on that. Here is what I have so far (yeah, I do use Win Classic - I hate the XP theme!)

Is that a preview of the next version of FBA, Treble Winner. If so can't wait to check out all them Sega drivers......looks quite impressive. Keep up the good work.

ThanX KEV ^^, I'm doing a package with only the files that were changed to get the GUI Stuff working, the icons and images will be there too

I hope the code will not be a problem the way i wrote it ^^u, I did some global functions but i have to work more on them ( i just need time =) )
it will be a honor for me if Treble adds this GUI addition to FBA...

Almost Final Images of the Game Select Dialog (Win Classic)



(WindowXP Theme)



Other features that i added in 'sel.cpp' is Automatic Dialog Size adjustment when a Vertical Orientated game is selected or when viewing a Game Flyer, if you click a common Horizontal game the Dialog will be restored with the normal Size ^^...

EDIT* - The Select Game Dialog is Designed for resolutions from 800x600 or better ^^
(tested on my Desktop PC @ 800x600 and my laptop @ 1280x800 )

Auto Dialog Resize depending Game Preview Orientation and Flyer view

Normal (Title)



Normal (Ingame)



Automatically Resized (Flyer)



Auto Resized (Vertical Orientation Game Title)



Auto Resized (Vertical Orientation Game Ingame)



Well i will be doing the last adjustments and i will send the files to Treble,  btw... the files are being modified from the last version to ensure functionability  :wink:

SeeYaa!!

:confused: How do you got that doomking ? are you looking at my server files, because thats the only way you could have that, I only sent the files to Treble Winner, I will release the code anyway, but i really dont like the way you got that checking stuff in my server [?]

im gonna act like this isnt happening the way you did it... but i will have to put more security on my server 

btw, thats not exactly where the 'RestoreDlg' function goes... you have to replace the 'Sel.cpp' with the one i provided in the zip
or wait until the next FB Alpha official release to check if Treble added this code and then i will provide everyone with the needed info

anyway im gona put info at some point on how to get this working and the needed files...

EDIT - Now i feel bad because of my reaction  :redface: (so sorry doomking for my reaction i was just waking when i saw that), so to be Ok with my good concience I will do public the files in some minutes so you can test them on your builds until the next release of FBA =)

Take care all!
SeeYaa!
