GimmeClassics

Thank you Adultery Working like a charm now ! From what I read in post #1 I understand there are two main views which should rotate every 5 minutes. The first should display things like Game Title Snap, Game Name, System name, developer, category etc. The second should display things like game snap, last played data and description. After selecting a game the hi-score table screen and footer are shown. After about sixty seconds it disappears and doesn't switch to another view. Questions: 1. what should I do to also get the plugin to show above things like game snap, game name, last played data etc. ? 2. is it possible with a key combo to let the plugin show the hi-score table screen and footer whenever you want ? Or maybe even a key combo to switch the main views ? Thanks again GC

Here are some snaps: folder structure game info config screen I've also attached my Game Info settings.xml Thanks ! GC Settings.xml

Hi Adultery, I've tried your solution and there is progress Not a 100% fix though... I extracted the content of the GameInfo.zip to GameEx > Plugins I initially made the mistake of extracting these files to GameEx > Plugins > Game Info ....It was kind of late yesterday Sorry for that. Game Info Plugin.dll is not installed in multiple locations. I've checked this and I've selected the Debug Mode. Results so far: my GameInfo log tells me I've updated Game Info to version 1.1.8 . See first spoiler below. I've also added my GameEx.ini and log. GameEx however doesn't show me the GameInfo footer. I start GameEx in windowed mode. When I start a game it's however fullscreen. When I press ALT+ENTER and switch back to a "windowed" game-mode I don't see any Game Info footer. EDIT: when using the Game Info Plugin I quite often encounter the problem of GameEx not starting up at all. It "hangs" during the "Loading Please wait message". I've attached my GameEx log [see log(2) ] and Game Info log (see second spoiler) after I encountered this problem. It looks like GameEx has an issue loading Game Info. Maybe a time delay issue ....? Thank you for your help so far GC Game Info Log: Game Info log (2) GameEx.ini log.txt Theme.ini log (2).txt

Hi Han! I was planning to do exactly the same Adding Tapper as a special "Thank You" to Adultery. You just beat me to it Thanks again Adultery for your hard work updating your Game Info Plugin by adding the Hi-Scores of our Hi-Score Competition ! Thank you Han for adding this game GC

Hi Adultery, I don't use an Ambiance file. I don't know where to check if my music loads right away when GameEx is launched.... Thank you for helping me. Hope you can solve my problem GC

Hi Adultery, I've downloaded version 1.1.8 and copied the files to the plugin > game info folder Unfortunately I still don't get any footer with info about our Hi-Score Competition and the version still seems to 1.1.7 ? .

I got the message I'm not permitted to upload this file. So I've copy / pasted my log. I think I see the problem > I seem to have Game Data plugin 1.1.7 installed. I thought the hi-score update was installed together with the latest GameEx build which I've installed. Do I have to download your update manually ? EDIT: I've tried to update manually to 1.1.8.

@ Adultery: I can't seem to get it to work on my single screen setup From what I understood I have to run GameEx in windowed mode and place a checkmark in the plugin manager to use the Game Info plugin. I've done both... Could you please help me out ? GC GameEx.ini log.txt

That's a great idea Han ! I hope Adultery and / or Tom can help us out and create something like this Thank you Han for your great ideas making the Hi-score Competition we've both setup even more interesting ! GC

Absolutely amazing A great extra feature for our Hi-Score competition. Thank you for the credits For those who haven't entered our competition yet.... you're more than welcome to join and play our games ! Here's a link to the Hi-Score competition. Thanks again, GC

Happy B-day !

Happy Birthday Draco!

Absolutely amazing job ! Looking goooooood Can't wait for the final release ! Thanks again, GC (btw, I've sent you a PM about editing the xml-file / ftp access)

Here's my first sumbission for Game of the Month: Nitro Ball A weird game but very nice to play A lot of things happening at once > Hi-score: 3,336,160 points > initials: DEN > Settings used of post #1 > Mame 0.147 compiled used > Screenshot of my hi-score: GC

Thank you Tom ! Great work

Adultery, thank you for your great work so far! Sharing your hiscore VB.NET class with Tom sounds like a great idea ! (btw, I've also send you a PM about this) That would be amazing --> integrating our hi-scores in GameEx for all users including those with a single monitor setup would be ideal ! I really like where this is going. What a great community we have here at GameEx ! @ Dazzle: great having you back around buddy! GC

@ehuonder - Eagerly awaiting my new challenge

It's indeed a request changing GameEx itself instead of an independant upgrade / plugin like "Game Info" is. Maybe if the Game Info plugin for our Hi-Score Competition is ready I will consider pitching this idea to Tom. It would be a cool feature if GameEx is also able to show the hi-scores of our competition within GameEx for those with a single screen setup. Apart from this, we're very excited and grateful you're creating such a cool plugin ! I will definitely consider adding a second screen to my setup to enjoy the plugin you're creating! Keep up the good work Adultery Thanks. GC

Hi Tom. Back up again ! two small things I noticed > the avator picture of some users are missing. No big deal of course > I will add mine again. > when I go to "My settings" I get the message "Zend Optimizer not installed" Just wanted to mention it. GC

Thank you for your contribution to our Hi-Score Competition ! Looking forward to this add-on. May well convince me to buy a secondary screen for my setup SWEEET!

A BBCode limit fix would be great. Especially creating a table in a post is kind of tricky right now. Adding options like having the possibility to import from Excel would be very cool ! I could use this very well in the Hi-Score Competition we've setup > link Thanks Tom. Looking forward to this forum upgrade GC

Glad to have you aboard Adultery Leaderboard updated

Hi Adultery, WOW ! That's amazing I'm really excited one of our GameEx / Database guru's has joined the hi-score competition we have setup. That was really something I was hoping for. Thanks a million ! Your idea of adding in our hi-scores in the GameEx menu and "in-game" is amazing. A very great idea ! I'd very much like to maintain and update the xml-files you create ! Here's a link to the header logo: http://i193.photobuc...ard-logo-v2.png Thanks again! GC

We welcome Adultery to our GameEx Hi-Score Competition You're more than welcome my friend ! It's an honor to have you aboard ! Thank you for your submission and good luck playing our hi-score games GC and Han
