Title: Use reloadableScrollingText for game title
Post by: ejcrashed on May 09, 2017, 05:23:06 AM
Hi everybody.

I'm starting to tinker with RetroFE and trying to build my own theme/layout, i'm making good advance so far, learning a lot from other layouts and trying some things of my own.

On the layout I'm trying to build there isn't a lot of room for displaying the game name/title and some games have quite long names (just look a some PGM games...) so i was thinking on using a horizontal scrolling text to display it.

But... it seems like the reloadableScrollingText item was created specifically to load text from files, so if I try to set something like type="title" it doesn't work.

Is there a way to achieve what I'm trying to do with a reloadableText and some animations? if not, can the reloadableScrollingText be expanded so it can show game texts/infos?

Greets.

What you want is not yet supported; it's high on my to-do list, since it's not a very difficult feature to add, and more people have asked for it.

I just put 0.8.4 at http://retrofe.nl/SMF/index.php?topic=150.msg1643#msg1643
It should allow you to do what you asked for.
