I made a new Genre Icon but it has a string unrecognized by the software (or database), its a custom genre I added called Instant Action/First Person Shooter.

Is there any way I can Link these game to this new Genre Icon.

I would also like to create my own Platform Icons.

Thank You

I'm not familiar with the games manager therefor you have to test it.

Edit here:
C:\Users\YOURPROFILE\Documents\eXtreme Games Manager\GamesCards\games_bigcover\Genres.js
Add these lines before the last else statement:
} else if(a == "GENRE_IN_DATABASE") {
document.write('<img border="0" src="GamesCards/Genre/GENRE_PICTURE.png" width="48" height="48">');

Of course you have to change GENRE_IN_DATABASE and GENRE_PICTURE to the one you wanna add.

Edit:
For your platform images go to C:\Users\YOURPROFILE\Documents\eXtreme Games Manager\PlatformImages.

I tried your suggestion, but did not work. probably do to my complete lack of scripting and programming skill.

See this and maybe I did this wrong:

} else if(a == "Instant Action/First Person Shooter") {
document.write('<img border="0" src="GamesCards/Genre/Instant Action First Person Shooter.png" width="48" height="48">');
}
}

This the last line from my script, after the last official entry.

Edit:

Tried this too:

} else if(a == "Instant Action - First Person Shooter") {
document.write('<img border="0" src="GamesCards/Genre/Instant Action First Person Shooter.png" width="48" height="48">');
} else {
document.write('<img border="0" src="GamesCards/Genre/unassigned.png" width="48" height="48">');
}
}

Put it before the end else. I remember If: Then: Else: in basic on my commodore 64. Guess even java-script doesn't stray far from old basic programing.

I just have had a look at the GamesCard. The javascript is still used. So it must be a simple syntax error.

Best is to add a test line in games_bigcover.htm. Open that file and search for following line:
<script type=text/javascript>var extb = '_GAME_GENRE_'</script>

Now add:
<script type=text/javascript>alert(extb)/script>

This new line shows you the correct spelling of your genre which you have to add in the code below.
Also have a look if there is no typo in the picture name and the format is correct, too.


} else if(a == "Instant Action - First Person Shooter") {
document.write('<img border="0" src="GamesCards/Genre/InstantAction.png" width="48" height="48">');

} else {
document.write('<img border="0" src="GamesCards/Genre/unassigned.png" width="48" height="48">');
}
}

I have tried everything, edited every java script with Genre in its title, I even replaced a regular icon with mine. I think its my icon that is the problem. however it is the same as all the rest:

48 x 48 - 50 x 50
72dpi
.png

It doesn't work. No problem though it was a minor thing I asked for anyway.

Hey, I have another question. Is it possible to have text and an image in the custom fields.

As usual I need help to do it, if it has to do with editing a java-script or HTML script.

Thank you.

Edit:
I cannot seem to display any custom fields other than the first custom field.

I tried to fill custom field 2 and it wont show on the game card. Maybe a bug - not sure.

Try using the Fields_Example_Card.htm.
All those fields should work. If not it surely a bug.
