Chicuelo Theme
-
@Boywond Are you using recalbox? This theme is for Retropie.
-
Hey there :)
While troubleshooting something else entirely, I noticed my es_log.txt registers this error when the Chicuelo theme is loaded:
lvl1: Warning from theme "/etc/emulationstation/themes/Chicuelo/custom-collections/theme.xml"
(from included file "/etc/emulationstation/themes/Chicuelo/custom-collections/../theme.xml")
could not find file "./_assets/characters/${system.theme}.jpg" (which resolved to "/etc/emulationstation/themes/Chicuelo/custom-collections/../_assets/characters/custom-collections.jpg")Basically, this means 'custom-collections.jpg' is missing from the _assets/characters folder.
I don't use custom collections at all, however the error is still logged regardless if you use it or not. You will probably find this yourself on your own build at:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_log.txtTo solve, we need a custom-collections.jpg to be present in the _assets/characters directory. Do you have an image for this? If not perhaps some sort of placeholder to suppress the error?
Hope this helps.
Cheers :)

@movisman Thanks for the point. I have disabled all the display texts on my setup so I didn't notice any log, however I will make that png so the theme works fine.
One issue I have a few times is when I change between systems, sometimes the character is not displayed until I restart or enter a game and quit. Basically when Es is restarted. I don't experiment this scince the last changes we made on the theme, because now the main bg is dark where the character.jpg is placed, before that it was white. Maybe some improvements on the xml fixed that. -
@movisman Done, I also added a blank png for the controller of the genres which where missing

Great, thanks a lot! I will update when I get chance and see if the log is clear now.

That is odd, I must admit I have not seen that ever before on the main system select screen, it has always worked really solidly for me - I will keep an eye out to see if I can replicate it.

@movisman Maybe my build has some issues. I checked the es_log and Its full of missing Roms, because I deleted lots of them but the xml still have them. Is there a way to clean the xml properly? I tried CLR mame pro but not succeed

@simpleethat Today I was reading this posts. Seems great I will give a try!

@Wildfire Any update on your modification to this theme?
-
-
@Wildfire Can't wait! :) Will be looking for the new thread! Did you decide on the name of your theme?
-
@duiz Yeah I'm just going to call it Wildfire, as mentioned earlier in this thread it's pretty much equal parts Chicuelo and ArtBook at this point so an extended name would be way too long.

@movisman I also replaced the sega cd sonic for another game, streets of rage
Not only for SEGA CD.... maybe usefull for OpenBOR

@chicuelo Hi, any plans for adding character snaps for partially supported systems? I can help in finding the most popular game characters for those systems.
-
@rand0m Partially systems are a few and they are not very much used so that's why I didn't updated them but when I have some time I will take a look at them. It takes a lot of time to make a good looking and high quality image
-
@chicuelo would you make a version with horizontal scroll? I would love a to see it since I preffer horizontal themes and more if I can use slide transitions
-
@sergioad Only plans for vertical, when you search between games you did it vertically, so it's logical to maintain that workflow all over the theme. You can use slide transitions as well . There is a fix for the logos to maintain in back in that instance
-
Ok, thank you very much; which is that fix? Turning off carrousel animations?

Can anyone make an svg "logo" file for the "NEOGEO CD"? Also a controller icon png? Its been recently added onto retropie and works perfect, but we are missing the console icon and controller png.
I would make one myself, but I have no idea how to make svg files.
I'm currently making a new variation of chicuelo theme, Neon version. But missing the Neogeo cd.
