I have every arcade game downloaded and it would be nice to have the video come up, will I have to individual download each video?

Thanks in advance for the help

Hi,

Have a look at a tool named previewer. Auto download of all video previews especially written for freestyle dash.

@Rocky

Is it possible to get a quick tutorial on how to make Themes for freestyle? Im experienced so i just need the most important informations. Would be great.

Greets Modmate

well that's a hard one haha the worst part i have come across is the damn animations finish your entity first make sure its done and then animate it as changing it after is a pain have to change each key :@.

head to IRC EFNET>#FreestyleDash you will get help there if you ask also has the tools you need.

I cant really give a tutorial as I'm still learning trial and error and once you get one thing done the rest is a doddle.

This is a further question to the video preview comments.

Basically ive ripped GTA VI and Liberty City Stories (A.K.A TLAD/TBGT) into the Games folder I have on my external hdd, and ive run FSDindexer to get the artwork for both games (which has worked fine) but due to them having the same title I.D there is only 1 artwork folder and when I put preview.wmv into it, it does not show a preview on either of them on the dash..... any ideas how to fix this?

The games go by the folder name not the title ID so rename your GTA LCS folder and you should be fine.

Yeh I worked this out a little earlier, I scrolled down my list of folders and they were all at the bottom... I was like OHHHhhhhhhhhh.... sweet lol

Thanks for the help

P.S do the videos have to be a certain size or resolution, because I downloaded one for final fantasy XIII and it just locks the system up when I go over the game

P.P.S thanks for the reply

i do know two things that don't work that's my fault recently played and my favs from the home screen as i put spaces in the id field.

if its not these then please let me know what it is.

here are two pics of what will be in the next update when a new version of Freestyle is out that supports (svn version does) gamer pics

New gamerpic and clock placement


New Background images show behind the stage.

Congratulations on your great work. This is the best-looking fsdash skin, hands down. However I would like to inform you of a little "bug" I noticed. In the main menu, where you select "Xbox360 Games", "Emulators" etc, when you highlight a selection and it zooms, it also gets a bit transparent and the "unzoomed" item in the back can be seen through it. I don't know if you did that on purpose, I'm just saying. Maybe you could make the original item disappear, like it was brough to the front, or get rid of the transparenct altogether.
