Wanted: Multiman v4+ Theming Tutorial

[madrigal77]

I'd like to make my own Multiman theme for v4+, but I can only find one for v2, and v2 themes don't seem to work on v4. Can anyone give me some tips on how to get started and the utilities needed? Thanks!!

Got it pretty much figured out, so nevermind!!

Could you/anybody else kindly point me to a tutorial/link? I made a couple themes for myself with the older MM but have no clue with the new mmCM theme layout. I'd love to be able to do this with the new mmCM because the new layout takes away all of those themes I was able to use. Thanks!

There is a thread about mmTM and what images it uses at psx-scene.

The theme packer application (which converts a folder to a .thm theme file) is available in the BASE/FULL distribution in 'aldos tools'.

Thanks dean! I guess I can keep using my older themes afterall.

@dean:

I can't get my older themes to work after converting to new format(.thm). I used the theme packer application & I have them listed from mmCM but they don't change once applied. Any ideas? Thanks! Also, my custom SOUND.BIN disappears from mmCM USRDIR after trying to apply converted themes.

NM: I had to restart mmCM to get it working. Is this how it's supposed to work? Restarting? I know in the past with MM v2.0.9 I didn't need to do that. However, each time I change themes my SOUND.BIN still disappears. Hmm!

SOUND.BIN is part of the themes. If you install a theme which has it - yours will be overwritten. If you install a theme without SOUND.BIN, current will be removed.

Yeah! I understand that part. Why does applying all of my converted themes make my custom SOUND.BIN disappear though? This shouldn't happen right? These themes had no built-in custom sound. I used my custom SOUND.BIN file placed in USRDIR with all of these converted themes.

However, each time I switch themes the SOUND.BIN just disappears magically. From my understanding, this shouldn't happen in my case. There's no built-in sound with my converted themes. I use my own custom sound. Thanks!
