1. Optimatch Method- In Ava You go to the arena/room/lobby/msnger you want to play in or talk for a while with the XBox Communicator Then if you are ready to play choose Launch launch and it knows what game you want to launch based on the game ID and it's ability to scan the drive for that game.

2. Quickplay Method- You just launch the game, Ava tells Xlink what game you just launched then Xlink puts you in the correct arena.


Sound possable? Already done??  

Anyway

Avalaunch + Xlink =  

SWEEEETTTT

You and Team Avalaunch are Gods,

I was curious when you was asking for xbe codes for games.

EDIT: Does that mean that a new version of Ava will be launched the same time as Evo 7?

This sounds friggin' sweet.  I was thinking of a way it might be implemented last night, but this is better than what I came up with.  I was thinking that you could have an Avalaunch WGN mode, where all the Avalaunch players are lumped together.  This sounds better though.

Cool just thought I would ask that one before it came out but now I have one more question.

What about the fact I have 4 xboxes at my house? What if one xbox starts Halo (causing xlink to go into the Halo arena.) then the 2nd Xbox starts R63? (?XLink exits Halo arena and enters R63?) Will xlink allow you to be in multiple arenas?

Maybe have two modes in the config or something? Normal mode, all xboxes under one name (only playing one game), and Multibox Mode, each box gets assigned a username under your login (for two or more xboxes playing in diffrent arena's). Just have a diff pic and (MB) by thier name in Xlink so you can see them in two diffrent arenas.

Can I set up Multiple Xlink (Xbox)names under one login? Or better yet, maybe Xlink just grabs the names automatically from Ava? Then auto creates a "Xlink Multibox"user for each Xbox and assign the MAC of each box to a name?
(Avalaunch currently sees my Xbox's as DIE-HARD, DIE-HARD 2, DIE-HARD 3, DIE-HARD 4. This is how I have named them of course.)

Then you could be in multiple arenas with only one Xlink running without dealing with complex networking with subnets and stuff and only need one PC.

Thanks for your awsome work!! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on if this would work or not!!

EDIT: But definatly add a ping limit for useage of this mode so people with slow connections would not even be able to try it!   This would be for ULTRA HIGH SPEED connections only!

EDIT 2: Looking into the way Kai works more having diff xboxes at the same house show up in more than one arena might be difficult. Unless you make some type of temp Ghost/Clone user But my concern goes back to the Quicklink mode statement, what happens when Xlink detects more than 1 local xbox will it automatically change the rooms each time an local xbox starts a game or does it take the 1st (master) xbox that connects to it and go to the correct arena for that game and then ignore the rest of the xboxes when they broadcast a new game being launched. (Blaaah I hope i am not sounding too confusing)

Bring it on mates, this is going to kick some serious batty and you'll be wiping your arse through XBC's warpipe!

Only issue atm is actually that it's having some trouble attaching to the engine itself. Other than that everything is pretty much set on client side.

That's good to hear joker.
