Folly

Magnificent work !

Folly

Is your cygnus-modified based upon this:
~~https://github.com/ChoccyHobNob/es-theme-cygnus~~
Which is now :
https://github.com/TheRobotFactory/es-theme-cygnus

And did you did these modifications all by yourself, or is there work from others ?

DTEAM

@folly
It's the work of others.. My Cygnus_modified is based on the work of this guy "ChoccyHobNob". That's why I have never push my work to far on the official Retropie Theme list. However I think mine Is better and more completed (more systems). I've change a lot of images and logos. I got images of systems with the controllers. Originally we do not see the gamepads. Also, I changed the background for blue flames. This theme take in charge games logos, videos and 3d boxes. It's a good theme. I don't remember from which hyperlink I got It.

I don't see major changes from the original on https://github.com/TheRobotFactory/es-theme-cygnus .
just an update for carousell and some minor things.

I was thinking should we make a fork of the old theme and then move your files to it as a commit
and then change the name to cygnus-modified or to cygnus-modified-mamedev to make a statement that it can be used for our script ?

Then we can work towards a base for the three themes that are developed with extra mame stuff.

What do you think ?

DTEAM

@folly
Yes, I agree

I don't know how to do that. Is it easy to do. I'm gonna read about that and try.

Folly

@dteam

Yes it is,

Just log in on gihub.
Then go to the repository which you want to fork.
In this case, https://github.com/TheRobotFactory/es-theme-cygnus
Then click on Fork. (not the number as this will show you the forks)
It will make a fork repository under your name.

Let me know how it goes.

Folly

@dteam

I see you have made a fork.
Did you manage by yourself or did you use my post ?

Now you can add your files.
Make sure you have the correct repository. (your own fork)
https://github.com/DTEAM-1/es-theme-cygnus
Go to "Add file".
Then drag the directories/files to the box.
If you want to try first with one than just drag 3do to the box.

If you want, you can drag all directories/files in one go.
Be sure you drag the same structure as how it is on github !

DTEAM

@folly
By myself , but now, how I move my files to it as a commit?
What do I choose here. Do I have to create a new Branch or drag in the master :

Folly

@dteam

I always commit to the master branch .
But If you want you can make an other branch .
You could name it something like "modified".

DTEAM

@folly
I'll do it in the master

DTEAM

@dteam
I can't put more than 100 files. Do you know why?

Folly

@dteam

No, I never did more than 100 files.

Can you do it in parts ?

Ok, just learned something.
I says here that a commit is limited to 100 files :
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43404202/how-to-upload-more-than-100-files-at-once-in-github

Folly

@dteam

Nice, I am seeing progress ;-)

DTEAM

@folly
It works for more than 100, but you have to create a new commit after each 100 files

Folly

@dteam

Ok, good to know.

Edit :
I have to go now.
Good luck with uploading.
I will look at it again tomorrow.

DTEAM

@folly
Done, It’s on GitHub!! Retropie theme : Cygnus - Blue flames

Theme good for (3D box + marquee (logo) + video) in same time or for single images . Don't use OMXplayer.

Folly

@dteam

I just added your theme to the esthemes module-script just to test it out.
Installing works ok.
I see there is still work to be done for the missing systems as you then get a black screen.
But other than that, it looks really great !

You should rename your repository to something like "cygnus-blue-flames" or "mamedev-cygnus" (just like I did with carbon).
Well, you have to decide for yourself, just don't use spaces in the name.
That way you have a unique name and it will not conflict with other cygnus themes if they are in the list.
I can't tell you now how to rename.
But it wasn't too hard, so I think you will find out how to do it.

Then you can just add the line to :
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/esthemes.sh

'DTEAM-1 cygnus'

Or after you renamed it :

'DTEAM-1 cygnus-blue-flames'

Here is a nice animation on how the cygnus theme looks like :
