Minor emulaxian software problems

[pragma]

Hi everyone, especially Peter if you're reading! :-)

I'm having some minor problems only with my emulaxian setup. I'm using the most recent beta, downloaded today at around 21h40 GMT.

(1) When I use the vertical skin, it's upside down. Is there an easy way to rotate this the other way? :-)

(2) Filtering newer than seems to be not working. I get the ui, choose newer than 1997, but still get all roms. Very strange.

Any help much appreciated,

Paul

1. rotation is skin based in emulaxian. each sprite except the background bitmaps have a rotation parameter. as i have my monitor rotated right that is the skin i made. If you want i can make a rotated left skin it is not difficult to do.

2. If you don't have a game newer then 1997 it wil return the full list. Because if the filter result gives an empty list the list will not be changed.
which beta? look at the beta info text. the last beta, beta 5 addresses a problem with the filters caused by director mx not a bug in my code ;-) the newer then filter was one of the affected ones.

thinking about it the names i gave to the filter may be confusing ;-)
Older_then uses the larger operator. it will return 1997 >
Younger_then uses the smaller operator. It will return 1997<

Older_then renaming to Newer_then and Younger_then to Older_then is probably a good idea...

Hi Peter,

"easy" for me != "easy" for you. If your offer of rotating the skin is genuine, then I gratefully accept.

I believe your theory that I was accidentally filtering all games _older_ than 1997 is completely possible. I will check that out tonight. I suggest "Released before" and "Released since" to avoid confusion! :-)

Oh - also, sorry, the beta I'm using is the one mentioned in this post: http://www.messageboard.nl/forums/echo/2243/viewtopic.php?t=69
 
Thanks

no problem just takes a few minutes. i upgraded the beta with a skin for monitors that are rotated to the left. While skinning I also made a few adjustments to the skinner...so I also upgrade the beta exe...

to change the name of a filter look in the cfg file for the selectionset you are using, most likely cfg\selsets\fearcade.cfg
