Gameex and LCDstudio

[Microfrost]

Hi,

First of all I been a surporter of Gameex for a few months now and I think its by far the best frontend out there and can only give credit to Tom on his excellent work.

I use LCDstudio to power my graphical LCD. I used to use LCDsmartie with Toms plugin but now as I no longer use a charactor LCD I am no longer able to to use Gameex with my LCD. Is there a way to convert the LCDsmartie plugin or maybe build a plugin for LCDstudio. My knowledge of scripting/programing is very limited to I am unable to do this myself.

If anyone has any comments or advice about this that would be great.

Many Thanks

Chris

For anyone wanting to write an LCD plugin for GameEx, all I do with the LCD Smartie plugin is read the window title from GameEx. If you run GameEx in a windows yourll see the windows caption, with various fields seperated by a pipe. Just split the window title string.

In the future I may update the registry as your navigating through GameEx to allow more detailed info, but I wont be disabling the current way of doing it.

if you cant code, you could pay someone a few bucks to do it at www.rentacoder.com

Thank you for your reply. I can't code myself so will look into finding someone at rentacoder.com. Would you be interested in building one at all for a fee? Or anyone else on these forums?

I just had a play in window mode. I noticed on the Jukebox mode the track title is displayed in the window title but not the track artist. Would it be posible to add these on the next release if its easy to do?

Many Thanks
