hey again
sorry for the multiple post crap .. but i got a problem with the icons

some games and homebrews dont have icons .. so, i want to change that

therefore i opened the FSDindexer, checked the game/homebrew i want from the left, and then i clicked the ADD Button after the "icon" line.
i choosed my png file and then, nothing .. just back in the unchanged fsd indexer. no icon appears
i tried a few resolutions, tried with and without alpha, but nothing

are there special specifications for the icons,if so, how r they ?

thanks for all here :-)

Hello All

Have quite a few people offering svn hosting etc. Many thanks for this. At the moment, i dont have time to do the organization of something like this at all. What we need is a couple of people to have control over what happens with a central svn or similar. I can provide hosting for stuff if needed, but several others seem to have this sort of thing available so probably easier for one of you lot to do it.

As far as im concerned, im happy for others to take charge and take this in any direction the community feels good, no need to ask permission or anything like that, im happy for people to just get on with stuff. All i ask is to be credited in the readme etc.

I may get chance in a couple of weeks to do a bit of coding on this, but for now, im out of time, need to get back to doing real work that will pay the bills.

Hope things can get organized and this project continue without me.

one question axc97c, do you know why FreeStyle cant show the characters: aéíóú??
any problem with content.xml maybe?

Ah man that sux    but thx for all the hard work.

I have to say that I love this dashboard, it working great. Here are the only features it is lacking that I can think of:

Ability to get game data from Xbox 360, rather than using the PC

Compatibility with TVersity (like UPnP support or something)

Ability to use boxart for emulators (currently, I cannot set any of the emulators to have boxart or anything else. I know it is not the image I am using, as the same icon will work if used on an Xbox 360 game)

Temperature and IP address displayed on main page.

Compatibility with more FTP programs (currently, all FTP features work when using the indexer, but when using FlashFXP, I can't see any part of the directory structure or files. It connects, but displays nothing)

A favorites list that combines all favorites (like having Xbox 360, Xbox Live, and other favorites displayed in a favorites menu or something)

Ability to launch NXE ripped games

Ability to rip and replace movies and other unneeded or replaceable files to save HDD or USB space.


I hope it is clear, these ARE NOT COMPLAINTS, just the features I believe would make this dash most useful. With these features, it would essentially be XBMC...

2 more features that are completely unnecessary, but easy (I believe) and helpful: RSS feed reader (and/or weather display app for main page of dashboard) and a web browser since we can use USB keyboards and mice on the 360).

Anyway, I wish that I had some idea how to code this myself, but I don't even know where to start.

[_n3o_]

for the videos previews you can get them at gametrailers.com and just recode them with wmencoder.(CBR video CBR audio)

I need some help from experimented skinners to check my skin (particulary the NamedFrames) MP me for help.(it's an animated skin with sound and transitions so if you don't know what i'm talking about, don't request about the skin)

here are some (non animated ) screenshots.







TIA

PS: of course i really love Freestyle, it's for me the best dashboard actually, excellent skinning features, great fonctions, i really love it ! good job again axc97c

Wow, dufc1983, thanks!!

Enabling Passive mode did the trick, I can now freely use FTP with the dash.

Have a great day.

**_n3o_ - Your dash looks great, can't wait to see (and hear) it in action!

anyone know if the GPU temp is better than Xexmenu?  Not frying my gpu is the most important feature to me.

For the current version, if you exit the config.xml file within fsdata and change the xbox ip from 0.0.0.0 to the ip of your xbox, all ftp programs ive tested work ok. The CDUP ftp command isnt implements, so sometimes you have to manually edit the remote path. This should be a very easy thing to write.

For combined favourites, i think its RB on the main page. X on the main page will show recently played games. Not sure if these elements have been added to skins other than the included nxe on though.

At the moment, there is no known way of getting the xboxs ip address from the xbox itself.

Web stuff is fairly easy to do, and there are easy threading and http client examples in the code, also xml parsing, so something like rss should be easy to do.

Launching NXE games, again there is no known way of doing this. Like wise the temp display, only the xexmenu people know how to do this.

For a full web browser, this would require porting an existing browser which would be a huge task.

Support for foreign character i think will require all the strings to be changed from a mix of string and wstring to all being wstring. There is a function in the fsdindexer that strips all but a list of specified characters so some could be added in here i think (but only normal ANSI 8 bit characters)

@bwolf417 - The folders should be in the root of your HDD or USB drive. You could place them where you have already done so, but would have to modify the config xml file to designate the new locations.

@axc97c - Thanks for the response. Pressing the buttons from the main page for recently played and a favorites list works perfect on the NXE skins, thanks! I hope all future skins include these features! Thanks for all of the hard work on this dashboard, I am anxious to see what it will become.

any option to boot xbox directly into freestyle dashboard?

Yes, in the "Loader" folder, I believe, burn the appropriate .iso to a disc (CD-R works fine). There is a HDD version and a USB version. For the HDD .iso to work, the Freestyle dash folder must be in the root of your HDD, and it must be in the root of the USB drive for the USB .iso to work.

Then, once you have the disc burned, leave it in the Xbox 360 tray and set auto-boot to on. That way, when you turn on your 360, it will automatically load the disc in the drive, which in turn loads Freestyle.
