Top requested arcade games for overlays

@meleu By the way I just somehow found out that you included the option to show specific game launch images. Love it, awesome work!

[meleu]

@simbz23 blame it on @UDb23 ! It was his idea! :D

[UDb23]

@meleu Pretty sure that the Ovl Repo & install Script project will stimulate people to create more art and put it together :-)

my macbook pro keyboard or OS might be an issue! Good to know. I dunno how I am supposed to prevent that?

I'm using my old Macbook Air bought during a holiday in the US (in addition to my windows PC); it has english (QWERTY) keyboard and only one " key (to the left of return key). That key provides the correct quote sign.

And yah I dont mind, they are not mine, this guy posted it as a link with his youtube video, I will try to find his video link again to try and find a name.

Now that you got your own Repo you should add these to it also.

@UDb23 Thanks for the heads up, and I will add any overlays I have that aren't ones that you or I made!

[simbz23]

Just finished an MK2 overlay! Available at my repo...

@simbz23 nice!

[UDb23]

@simbz23 Take care: making overlays can be addictive :-)

[simbz23]

@UDb23 Likewise brother! You are so right about that lol. Especially when you see there aren't any quality overlays for certain games! I am also future proofing and making 4k overlays. That transition wont be too far away ;-)

[simbz23]

@UDb23 Edited the Moonwalker overlay with your suggestion, hope it came out alright!

[simbz23]

Spider-Man overlay complete

[meleu]

@simbz23 There's an issue with the Spider Man overlay files on your repository. ;-)

So weird, I thought I uploaded and saved the changes. Files should be there now!

[UDb23]

@simbz23 overlay image filenames should include artist name: gamename_simbz-ovl.png
Script works fine even without it ... but people should know you made that overlay ;-)

[meleu]

@UDb23 I was thinking about it. We can create an optional field in the info.txt. I'm not sure about the best name: artist or maintainer? Maybe both :).

They will be completely optional. My intention is to give some credits in the dialogs while installing the files...

Suggestions?

[UDb23]

@meleu What about creator, author(more for books...), producer.
Or even simpler: Made_by

[meleu]

@UDb23 let's stick with creator. You can use it in your files if you want from now on. I'll make the new script show this info in the dialogs.

It's completely optional, so you don't need to update all the info.txt files in your repo.
