View Full Version : Use cloneof's theme?

How about, if you have a game, which is a clone of another, it will first search its own name for each theme / video / art... if it can't find one, it will search its parent.

That way, we can create (for instance) a generic StreetFighter theme. Then we can create a flv file for each street fighter game. When then set the parent of all street fighter games to streetfightergeneric (or whatever). It would end up using the theme files for the generic, but the description, name and flv file for the specific version.

This would allow for a lot more generic themes to handle a ton of games. Seems useful to me (without a bunch of copy/paste)

Great! I would also love *(but assuming you already thought of this) a default theme.

btw, GREAT frontend.
