Mamewah custom skin options and message boxes
(1/1)
Nannuu:
I copied another's custom layout in Mamewah and it seems to work well. Except for the options and message boxes. A black box appears behind my artwork that is larger than my box. I know it is a setting the in .lay file but I don't know which numbers. Is there a help file around that explains how the number scheme goes? I just want to make the black boxes match my message and options art.
Also, I created a favorites list but the snaps don't show up in the box. Not sure what I did wrong. Any common noob hiccups doing this? I used screaming's config program to create the list.
Also, ugh, I know. I haven't wired my panel yet but I'll have 3 action buttons, 1 and 2 player, coin, Menu (exit) and Pause. How can I set this up to that there is no possible way to mess Mamewah up? No exiting to Windows, no changing anything ever without a keyboard.
Thanks for any help you can give.

You need to edit the layout with the Layout Designer and set the background size of the message box to be the same size as your background image.

It sounds like either your artwork path is incorrect, or you have it set for the wrong artwork #.

Locking the Mamewah menu should do what you want...I forget the default keys so check your Mamewah ctrlr file...

Thanks Minwah, that all sounds good. Yep, now that I think about it, I don't have the artwork #2 pointing at my snaps, I was thinking it was supposed to be in the -2.ini, oops. I didn't realize there was a layout designer in there either :-[.

Is the layout designer included in the MameWah Beta releases? If not, then just get it from v1.61 released MameWah version
