Share your Theme and ART - OPLv0.9 beta

Here is an updated template for the latests revisions.

@lewy: there will not be an update for oplutil (at least for the moment), it requires too much work to convert it to the new theming engine

But I will start writing the theme guide as soon as I finish other work.

I've update to r598 and I'm using this theme... I'm just wondering, is there a way to add the Description of the games (on the info page)? With the XXX_XXX.XX.cfg files the only things that I'm able to see are: Rating, Genre, ESRB and Title (and where the description goes it only says "Description of the game, need to justify"). My cfg files are like this:

Title=
Description=
Rating=
esrb=
Genre=
Developer=

Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind, I've found the problem in conf_theme.cfg:

I've changed this "type=StaticText
value=Description of the game, need to justify"
to this
"type=AttributeText
attribute=Description"

Now the problem is that I can have only one line of Description... help anyone?

Add these attributes to the element "info6":

width=295
height=90
wrap=1

width and height are related to the picture and frames of info_frames.png

wrap is to tell to wrap the text (without it, you would had "clip" mode instead, cutting everything that goes beyond the dimension, without wrapping)

Note, there may be a bug when wrapping some text sometimes (when we don't find a space between two words to cut the sentence), that I'll correct some day ... when (and if) I finish to code the right-to-left mode for OPL ...

@hominem.te.esse

Cool, downloaded the theme template above.
Works like a charme.

Is it possible to add languages/language support for the description of the game?

Thanks.

Currently i am doing my missed homework. Was months not here. Had other projects to do.
I hope i am not too late...

If you take a look at the template from hominem.te.esse you'll notice it's not soo hard to make your own theme.
The advantage of a V0.9 theme is really impressive.
If the theme would be nice it'll be shared 4 sure...

Rgds.

Hi,

What did you mean ?

If by "description" you talk specifically about the "description" attribute, it is an "user attribute". I mean that this is a choice done by the theme maker, to add this attribute/info on the screen. The content of the description has to be written into each setting files for game, and that is done by the OPL user.

The OPL user can use every language he wants, he just need to create its setting file using the UTF-8 character set. Then setting the good corresponding language file in OPL "graphic settings".

Only problem, is for the theme itself, which cannot have "internationalized" attribute name (on the screen). As theme maker can add every user attribute they want, name them as they want, and as we are using language files to translate OPL, it was not possible to mix both together.

(I hope I was clear enough

)

I'm happy that someone is working on v0.9 themes

Hi!

I knew it.
I hoped the same mistakes as with the xbmc wouldn't happen again.

Xbmc is one of the nicest multimedia center on this planet.
The localization of skins/themes is sh*t. An absolutely horror.
None of the programmers and skinners thought about an other languages.
I localized a few themes and let me tell you this is NOT funny...

For me it's no prob to handle foreign descriptions of games.
But there are enough people who would love it to read this in their mother language.

It's not to late to bring this to a glory end...

Rgds.

PS: How could this be realized? Via a description attribute?
<description-eng>, <description-spa>, <description-jap>?
Or via file name?
