1 year ago Looking at this this morning, something is weird. Next_letter and prev_letter aren't navigating for me at all. It looks like it is performing a layout refresh instead.
I tried an older layout in a AM+ Build from December 2022 and the next_letter and prev_letter functioned as expected. I didn't check if they were performing a ToNewSelection or FromOldSelection transition trigger yet.
I copied that layout to the AM+ Build from February 2023 and the next_letter and prev_letter seemed to just be doing a layout refresh.
I don't understand what is wrong yet. I tried copying the attract.cfg from Dec 2022 to the Feb 2023 install and still same problem. I tried copying the exe file from Feb 2023 to the Dec 2022 install and the next_letter and prev_letter seem to work correctly.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I have found that jumping to next or previous letter is not triggering a ToNewSelection or FromOldSelection transition.
In attract.cfg input_map next_letter PageDown prev_letter PageUp
I have something in the layout that happens whenever someone would navigate backwards or forwards along the 'index', for example pressing the up or down arrow keys. Doing so, would trigger either FromOldSelection or ToNewSelection, or EndNavigation. Even 'random_game' in the attract.cfg will trigger FromOldSelection or ToNewSelection. But, it looks like next_letter and prev_letter are only triggering EndNavigation?
A particular visual element of my layout must trigger well before End.Navigation, so to function requires FromOldSelection or ToNewSelection.
