MAMELAY Plus rendlay.cpp

[bionictoothpick]

This code worked on rendlay.c, but with the move to rendlay.cpp it no longer works.

// Tapule & LordHiryu mod ----------------------------------------------------------
+      // Use %dfX as file name to let the layout use arwork/definableX/gamename.png as image
+      if(m_imagefile[0][0] == '%' && m_imagefile[0][1] == 'd' && m_imagefile[0][2] == 'f'){
+         const char *l_img = xml_get_attribute_string_with_subst(machine, compnode, "file", "");
+         int l_definable = 0;
+         char l_temp[100];
+         
+         sscanf(&l_img[3], "%d", &l_definable);
+         sprintf(l_temp, "definable%d", l_definable);
+         m_imagefile[0].cpy(l_temp).cat(PATH_SEPARATOR).cat(machine.basename()).cat(".png");
+         // Reset dirname to force arwork folder as default for the definables
+         m_dirname.reset();
+      }
+      // Tapule & LordHiryu mod ----------------------------------------------------------
+
It's from mamelay plus. Anyone know how to make it work with render.cpp?

maybe?

Code: [Select]

if (m_imagefile[0].compare(0, 3, "%df") == 0)
{
    m_imagefile[0].replace(0, 3, "definable");
    m_imagefile[0] += PATH_SEPARATOR;
    m_imagefile[0] += machine.basename();
    m_imagefile[0] += ".png";
}

Bored, in bed, sick... Updated patch for 0.172:

As a side not, I have to do diff/patch files manually because I don't have a working patch.exe tool I am willing to read about it, but seem to get conflicting instructions via google....is there a definitive guide, or at least one place where if I stay with those instructions someone will be good to go?

I'm not interested in everything being automated...

For windows, I highly recommend following the official instructions.

To apply any patches I post try:

Code: [Select]

git apply <patchname>.patch
If that doesn't work, this usually does:

Code: [Select]

git apply --recount --inaccurate-eof --ignore-whitespace <patchname>.patch
BTW, I moved the patches to: https://playground.btolab.com/sandbox/kb/arcade/emulation/mame/mods/
