* ui, docs: Added menus to fill a couple of gaps, improved consistency. (#9915) Vas Crabb2022-06-111-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added menus for controlling toggle inputs, and showing recognised input devices and control state. Moved input menu options off main menu to a submenu, as there are a lot of them now. Moved menu heading drawing into base class, added headings to more menus, and made headings more consistent with the menu items used to reach them. Also made terminology more consistent. Changed the default names for buttons and hat switches/D-pads to use 1-based numbering. DirectInput still returns 0-based button numbers for some devices. Removed local copy of MinGW xaudio2.h as it’s now included in the MSYS2 package. Also fixed building the DirectSound sound output module with the SDL OSD on Windows - the Windows headers are sensitive to include order. Started adding documentation for menus, to hopefully help people find menus they remember seeing but can't recall how to access. For translators, this makes terminology more consistent. In particular: * "Settings" is preferred over "configuration" in a number of places, as the latter can be construed as referring specifically to settings stored in .cfg files in the cfg_directory folder. Also, references to saving machine configuration could be interpreted as relating to the settings on the "Machine Configuration" menu. * The controls on host input devices (e.g. keys, buttons, joystick axes) are referred to as "controls", while emulated inputs are referred to as "inputs". * The menus for assigning host controls to emulated inputs are called "input assignments" menus to distinguish them from other input settings menus. * Combinations of controls that can be assigned to emulated inputs are referred to as "combinations" rather than "sequences". * The potentially confusing term "ROM set" has been removed altogether. Use "short name" to refer to a device or system's identifier. * "System" is used in almost places to refer to a complete, runnable system rather than "Machine". * "Driver" is now only used to refer to source files where systems or devices are defined - it is no longer used to refer to individual systems. * A few more menus have message context for the messages. This makes it a bit easier to guess where the messages are used. It also means you can use different translations in different places if necessary (e.g. if the same English text should be translated differently as an item in one menu and as a heading in another).
* A little more refactoring, and Coverity fixes: Vas Crabb2021-11-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | * emu/ioport.h: Marked PORT_RESET deprecated. * emu/rendlay.cpp: Removed old dot matrix components. * emu/rendlay.cpp: Added warning message for reel components. * Changed a few more fruit machines to eliminate reel components; also made the reel lamps simpler and more efficient in these layouts. * emu, frontend: Fixed various errors reported by Coverity, one of which actaully breaks stuff.
* -osd/windows: Fixed stupid potential deadlock on exit. Vas Crabb2021-11-131-1/+1
| | | | | -frontend: Some changes to menu item class that will make it possbile to reduce the number of menu rebuilds.
* Fix various usability issues: Vas Crabb2021-11-021-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | frontend: Made it so you can press UI On Screen Display to hide the Analog Controls menu and see the response to your inputs without the risk of changing settings, and see more axes at once and scroll them for systems with very large number of axes. Also ensure the axis being configured is visible when the menu is visible, and made the menu behave a bit more like the system input assignments menu (including previous/next group navigation). frontend: Allow Lua to draw to the UI container - this addresses the main complaint in #7475. Note that drawing to the UI container will draw over any UI elements, including menus. Plugins can check menu_active to avoid drawing over menus. Also removed some unnecessary use of sol::overload. frontend: Improved info/image box navigation on the system/softwre selection menus, and cleaned up some leftover code that came from the copy/pasted event handling functions. frontend: Fixed sliders menu not handling Alt+Shift as intended (thanks Coverity). Fixed a couple of harmless Coverity errors, too. emu/inpttype.ipp: Made the default assignment for Save State recognise right shift. plugins: Added next/previous group navigation to input macro edit menu. docs: Added basic description of the system and software selection menus, and corrected a couple of errors in the Lua reference.
* -frontend: Refactored menu event handling and fixed a number of issues. (#8777) Vas Crabb2021-10-311-0/+237
* Moved common code for drawing about box, info viewer, and other text box menus to a base class; removed the last of the info viewer logic and the multi-line item hack from the base menu class. * Added previous/next group navigation for general inputs and plugin input selection menus. * Moved message catalog logic to lib/util, allowing osd and emu to use localised messages. * Made the base menu class use the UI manager’s feature for holding session state rather than a static map and mutex. * Improved menu event handling model, and fixed many issues, particularly with menus behaving badly when hidden/shown. * Added better support for menus that don’t participate in the usual menu stack, like the menuless sliders and the save/load state menus. * Made a number of menus refresh state when being shown after being hidden (fixes MT08121 among other issues). * Fixed indication of mounted slot option in the slot option details menu. * Improved appearance of background menus when emulation isn't running - draw all menus in the stack, and darken the background menus to make the edges of the active menu clearer. * Fixed locale issues in -listxml. -debugger: Made GUI debuggers more uniform. * Added new memory view features to Win32 debugger. * Fixed spelling of hexadecimal in Cocoa debugger and added decimal address option. * Fixed duplicate keyboard shortcut in Cocoa debugger (Shift-Cmd-D was both new device window and 64-bit float format). * Made keyboard shortcuts slightly more consistent across debuggers. -plugins: Moved input selection menu and sequence polling code to a common library. Fixed the issue that prevented keyboard inputs being mapped with -steadykey on. -docs: Started adding some documentation for MAME's internal UI, and updated the list of example front-ends. -Regenerated message catalog sources. For translators, the new strings are mostly: * The names of the inputs provided by the OS-dependent layer for things like fullscreen and video features. These show up in the user interface inputs menu. * The names for automatically generated views. These show up in the video options menu - test with a system with a lot of screens to see more variants. * The input macro plugin UI. * A few format strings for analog input assignments. * A few strings for the about box header.
