Title: Mamewah artwork fields
Post by: Xelotath on November 12, 2005, 08:01:53 pm
I formated my hard drive and didn't save my Mamewah folder, so I reinstalled it and everything works fine exept the artwork fields. #1 works but the other ones don't(I tried #2 to #5). I installed the system files and registered paintx.dll. Also in the layout the field emu name apears even if I disable it. I'll post my mame.ini file:

are you sure you have the folder names right? because in my mame folder its not "marqees" and "snaps" . its "snap" and "marqee" .. just a thought.

Yeah the folders are named ok, when I put the marquees in artwork #1 they show but in the other fields noting shows.

Have you rechecked the actual layout to see that it it's using the other artwork fields?  The default mamewah layout just uses the Artwork Image #1 only.  Perhaps the layout.lay file you created isn't the layout being used when you run mamewah. 

### Misc Options ###
layout                      Classic 800x600

I tried with a layout I downloaded and it had artwork1 and 2 and I tried creating one and it has the same problem. I really don't know what is the problem...

On another note a cool feature for mamewah would be adding a Current Song for the fields you can add in the layout designer.

I'm not sure, but since the Artwork #1 displays you obviously have all the system files installed OK.

All I can think of is what has already been suggested: check your layout has the correct artwork object #'s, and check the paths are correct  :-\

I can say I triple checked, tried to put them in low case and uper case and tried every artwork field and only #1 show up. Can the other fields display .png files?

Yes.

Have you looked in mamewah.log to see if there is any indication there of what might be wrong?

I checked and I don't think there is a problem but i'll post a link to my mamewah.log:
http://rotdteam.sourceforge.net/mamewah.log I remember I had a similar problem for version 0.97 but never tried to fix it.

Looks fine...

Strange but no-one else has mentioned the problem so it must be a configuration problem somewhere.

I suppose you could try the new beta version (from the Mamewah board) but to be honest it shouldn't make a lot of difference.

Yeah I'll try the beta and see what happens.
