Is it possible to have a specialutilization command for the XML that fills up bytes with chosen value's
This would be for the incomingmodified specialutilization.
For instance I'm working on ladyfrog and the names get filled at the back with spaces. When writing a highscore with hitotext the scoretable in the game doesn't look good because of the spaces not being there.
Same goes for ladybug , this game fills up the front of the name with F's (so this is just the opposite of ladyfrog).
So it could be something like a frontfill and backfill function to fill up the bytes in certain games.
It could be used with one parameter, that would be the fillvalue (the length of the field is already known)

Never mind, I figured it out.....paddata or reversepaddata should do it.
I will try and see if I get it to work.

2 new games + clones
kick (includes clones : kickc & kickman)
dogfgt (includes clone : dogfgtj)
For dogfgt to work properly the hiscore.dat needs to be changed (the entry wasn't complete and didn't have the hiscore in it)
The entry should be:
dogfgt:
dogfgtj:
0:0607:50:00:00
0:029:03:00:01
First time I used the mame debugger and actually found the missing data ;D (It took me a while though.....and some luck....) :dizzy:

Nice! This is great stuff! Thank you loadman, I'll have to check it out soon, it's been a very busy last few days. =)
I'm pretty sure Cananas uses MaLa quite a bit as well, so he'll probably be loving this.

Thanks, and it's definitely a team effort!

Exactly, I ran into this quite a bit, and finally just made a common function out of it instead of creating custom code to handle it every time. PadData and PadDataReverse should do it for you, whichever one you need.

Congratulations! You've now been upgraded to hiscore.dat-astic mod/editor! I've sent you an e-mail with some details. Also, thanks for pounding out the games, I'll be adding them to the official HiToText.xml file and making a release sometime in the next couple days.

How do you know that? Yes, I use MALA... I hope someday Loadman or somebody else include in MALA a pop up window with the clone games when you press a key on a parent. A parent games list with this it would be fatastic.
