advmenu groups/type help
« on: June 12, 2002, 10:27:00 pm »
Is anyone successfully using their own groups/types
in AdvanceMenu?

I'm trying to categorize games based on their orientation (vert/horiz) as group, and on which control
panel they use (spinner/joy/trackball) as type.

I went into advmenu.rc and added the following:

group "Horizontal"
group "Vertical"
group "<undefined>"
group_import none

<undefined> was already present and I'm using that
to hold games I haven't added to either list yet.

I also added:

type "<undefined>"
type "Trackball"
type "Single"
type "Spinner"
type "Dual"
type "Trigger"
type "Defender"
type_import none

and mapped buttons to group, type, setgroup, and
settype.

No matter what I do all I see are the games in <undefined>.  Any game where I've added a group
or type description to their entry does not show up.

Any ideas?

Spent the night figuring it out.       In addition
to the group lines you need to add group_include
for each group.  Also to select a group to view the
'enter' key doesn't select it's the space key which
I didn't have mapped.  The same goes for types.
