Homebrew postLoader4

[AbdallahTerro]

yep MR got the math right
WF displays 10-12k roms max in my all plugin button
As for Pl4 I'm hoping to get close to 20K

 

[MassiveRican]

^^ Simply sick!! >_>

Btw great job on the forwarder, postLoader was long overdue for some channel variety. Really cool one!

 

[AbdallahTerro]

got a batch canvas resizer, almost done with the icons too
Edit: removed the frame too, some got trimmed a bit but I'll fix'em for the pack:

@stfour: I wanna change the glossy effect for the icon to a frame shaped gloss of about 5-7 pixels, again what was this file called?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

never mind:

Edit: the theme got also tweaked a bit (to Red):

Spoiler

Almost done here

 

[stfour]

Great work, abz.

p.s. If it isn't a problem, write "postLoader" not "POSTLOADER" on the splash screen

 

[AbdallahTerro]

we should shout it out loudly
oh and it's online https://www.dropbox.com/s/q67zgduktjowzl2/Ploader4_Addon for the Masterpiece.rar

 

[Etheboss]

LOL, already reported ABZ...maybe if they sold games...i would love it..
I reported the ccmalls bot, but i just realized you was reacting to stfour..

 

[MassiveRican]

I'm telling you, just this week alone I've reported that stupid user 2x. Not counting how many times I've reported them before. I didn't think it was a bot since there's measures against that here, I thought it was some stupid twat that doesn't realize unless it's games we're not loving it.. This isn't McDonalds.. stupid I'm lovin't it theme drives me shit bat crazy!

@Abz red is my fave color so the theme fits my bill great! I'm stoked.

Nice theme !

Abz, I like to embed your work in a new plugin package (without the wad). Are you agree ?

Also, do you experience again missing rom source ? For me your masterpiece is showing everything...

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Sure, no need to ask
I didn't try to show the missing ones yet but I think they will show if I do a clean install again (might try that tomorrow)

I see the wad on googlecode download page is still v5. why did u remove v5.1.5? is there a bug or something?
I was also planning to make a premade "uneek2o v96 nand" renamed to pln2o but since on the fly uneek launching is imminent I guess the ones I already made can do the trick

 

[stfour]

thank you...

mplayerce isn't working from postloader: "No stream found to handle url....." (via usbgecko)... but works with wiiflow....

nvm, got it...

 

[stfour]

mplayerce need this change

019=1|MPlayerCE|mplayerce-svn-r673.dol|/movies|avi,mp4,mkv|MPlayer2.png|{device}:{path}/{name}

instead of

019=1|MPlayerCE|mplayerce-svn-r673.dol|/movies|avi,mp4,mkv|MPlayer2.png|{device}:/{path}/{name}

... also I think that a flag for enable recursive search on a folder can be good.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Thanks... Fixed

Yea I'm curious myself as to why v5.1.5 is missing/deprecated? That's the WAD I customized with my own music loop and never had a problem.

Abz does your masterpiece d/load have the mplayer-ce config fix already? I plan to d/load it when I get home and wanted to know if I need to make any minute changes TIA

Whoops silly me it's not out yet, I could've sworn it was out dunno wtf I was lookin' at

 

[MassiveRican]

What exactly is recursive?

 

[Maxternal]

What exactly is recursive?

It means the when a search is run on one folder it then runs itself again on all the folders it finds in that folder. Think of it as an exhaustive subfolder search.

 

[kuwanger]

Speaking of a subfolder search...

This doesn't use a flag (and I did some other tweaks to try to reduce the stack usage), but it appears to be that simple to add. However, on the subject of feature requests, how about being able to specify the folder/subfolder on a per-plugin basis (the path being absolute if it starts with a / and relative otherwise) in plugins.conf? That would allow the covers folder(s) to be a little tidier and allow you to have Game.nes and Game.gb with different covers.

since yesterday: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/101209384/MasterPiece/pl4.html
mplayer_ce argument fixed also as soon as stfour reported it
the old argument works fine in WF but I can also change it in my next update

See I knew it! Don't know what happened I was on mobile and somehow I must have missed the post. Still gotta fix that splash screen to postLoader though

Thx in bunches Abz. U make optimal setups easy, if I had one of those angel choir things that go "aaaaahhhhhh" with the golden spotlight, I'd praise your masterpieces that way

@stfour
I tried clean install and still only 24 plugins are showing here

I have PL4 folder and app on SD card, almost all roms on FAT32 first active HDD and fre on 2nd NTFS HDD partition
