ES Custom SVG Logo pack (includes specific Mame logos)

[pjft]

Hi @UDb23 .

Apologies for adding one more thing if possible. Once again, no urgency. I just made the same request/update on the Comic Book theme.

I'm wondering if it'd be possible to ask you to create a separate theme folder as well, under custom-collections folder for users to be able to create their own collections under it, should there not be a custom theme for it. The "system" name would be "Game Collections" or "Collections", I suppose.

This comes from @cyperghost 's suggestion, which after thinking it through I think makes some sense and is an elegant way to standardize the support for these features across themes.

This way, if you create a MAME ROWcollection (@meleu - I'm looking at you), if you have a MAME ROWtheme folder it will use it as an entry in the systems list. If not, it will create a subfolder under this Game Collectionsentry on the system list. That way you could use whatever theme you'd want, and create whatever collections you'd want, without being restricted by existing theme folders, provided that that custom-collectionsfolder exists. So games with overlays, best-of 2-player games, games with moustached plumbers, whatever - people can create them and organize them without needing a specific theme entry.

Hope this clarifies the intent, and thanks in advance for the time here - even if just reading this, regardless of whether you will pursue this.

No urgency whatsoever. :)

I understand the concept but it is a little bit unclear what you'd like me to do:
required artwork for a "custom system" named "Game Collections" or "Collections" ?

Eventually also svg logos/artwork for common collections like "shmups" (already available), platforms, run & gun, fighting etc ?

@UDb23 Would I be very inconvenient if I asked you to upload those files to github?

I'm not planning to write a tool to install them this time. :) It's just because download things directly in the raspi using command line is pretty handy...

You must be wrong Sir, wikipedia says it's Queen Elizabeth... :D

@UDb23 hi. Apologies, that wasn't clear at all, and I suppose I'm thankful that you asked as I don't want you to waste your time.

@TMNTturtlguy Had the same questions as well as I'm asking him on the Comic Book thread.

Let me clarify later when I'm on a computer rather than on the phone. I might create a new topic so all theme creators are aware of the changes, rather than individually reaching out to people I know on a one by one basis.

But summarizing: just something for a system that will contain user defined game collections of any type. A single theme. It's generic, like favorites, last played and all games. It will be the system where anything that users want to define will land, as subfolders. Kind of like a catch all.

I'm not asking for individual shmups/fighting or whatever logos in addition. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

I'll elaborate later. Thank you.

As you're surely not going to write any script for this... of course I can ;-)

[UDb23]

More SVG logos added and new dedicated Repo.
Check first post of this thread.

Now you got to add the **Custom SVG Logo Pack ** to your useful-topics-index thread ;-)

[stephan311280]

can you make this in svg plz?
i cant :(

[UDb23]

@stephan311280 It's available on the web; you can find Cave svg logo here.

[stephan311280]

@udb23 thx but thats a different picture

[UDb23]

@stephan311280 I can easily move the cave text on the right, if that's what you want. Just let me know and I'll modify the svg for you.

[stephan311280]

@udb23 Yes please

[UDb23]

@stephan311280 Here you go: Cave SVG logo resized and modified to be used as an ES custom system or collection.

Note: background is transparent; for use over black a white background should be added.

SVG file -> here.

This is based on the Cave SVG logo found at Segaretro.

@udb23

started moving these SVGs to a new dedicated Repo on Github (as requested by @Meleu).
Complete migration will take some time as I'm also rechecking/improving while moving.

What do you think about doing a complete migration putting the "unchecked/unimproved" files in a dir, let's say oldfiles? And then you can do your rechecking/improvements while moving from oldfiles to a more appropriated directory.

I would love to get your art (even the old ones) from command line :-)

If you are busy, I can submit a PR with all those oldfiles from mega.nz

Thanks for all dude!

Note: I've opened an issue on your repo but it seems that you check notifications from the RetroPie forums more frequently. Sorry for the repetition and feel free to close that issue.
