Re-read your post BJ... Thats exactly what I was hoping for. This should work nicely for modifying games before launch. BTW. What happens if I tell MXM to run a script that doesn't exist, most importantly, one that exists in a sep. script file? Morden.

From a quick glance, it appears that an "empty" script will not error out.

On a side note, I'll probably add more advanced error handling in the future.

I would be sooo happy if U would add a compressionalgorythm (like gzip)  to mxm, available via action script. that'll be ubercool for building installercds. Just a very basic  gzip with decompression only would be enough.

It would be great if you could autoplay music through samba or relax upon bootup.  This would be good for those of us who are stuck with the measly stock hdd.

Compatibility with the Xbox Saves Manager 4.5 would be nice.
Looks like I have to run either Evox or Avalaunch in order to be able to use this program.  It bombs out with an error when connecting to the xbox.

Good question... some games may have "title data" kept in the game directory, and I have considered searching for it there. The icons are not stored as a part of the xbe

Well, that is not exactly true. Avalaunch searches for the image itself IN the xbe.

Did you know that in most xbe's you'll find both the titleimage and the image that is used for the games saves? Some games creates an image for the save runtime, but many games has the save image incorporated in the xbe as well.

Cheers

Cool, I'll have to do some research on this... thanks for the heads up.

Only 1 request wasn't added. That was Mordenkainen's as it seems BJ's got this covered (and it was too long to be added )
Keep the requests coming though

i knew something BJ didn't. Hey BJ there was a thread on this AGES ago i read. If you opened the XBE with a Hex editor and searched for a certain value then copied from that value onwards and pasted it into another Hexeditor and then saved it as a .jpg you could actually see the picture.
E.g. you had extracted it from the xbe... see if you can find it somewhere...
Also is it possible to delete most of these comments?
T.I.A

ps. thank god i got done... back to some PC RTCW  

[BenJeremy]

I'll try and get to it later...

Here's a new query/request for BJ and others: This is what MXM has in the System Menu at the moment: Reboot: It will reboot MXM, regardless of what your default dashboard is. Load Dashboard: It will load the first dashboard setup in the bios. Restart: Where is it? In Evox days, I used to put a game in the drive while Evox was loaded and do a restart to play it, now I cannot do it any more with MXM. I think Load Dashboard needs to be replaced with a Restart option, because (I think) the majority of MXM users have MXM as default dashboard, therefore Reboot and Load Dashboard will perform exactly the same thing for thoses people (like me BJ is a genius). In short here is what I think MXM should have in the System Menu: Reboot or Reboot MXM: It will reboot MXM, regardless of what your default dashboard is. Restart: Restarts the Xbox right from the start with Xbox animation. PS: I'm aware that you can write a script to launch a game. GoomBee

There's Power Cycle... that is similar to "Restart"

QUOTE There's Power Cycle... that is similar to "Restart" I'm always careful when I Power Cycle any electronic device, I always give like 5-10 seconds before I turn it back on. The Power Cycle in the System Menu is very quick, is that safe? GoomBee

It's merely exercising an option Micro$oft provides.

It's not the same as a hard switch on and off... the power supply is always "active" while plugged in.

Hey BJ, I was wondering if you still planned on adding the compatibility with Qwix, I would love to be able to use the new boost mode for games with small files on MXM. Thanks again.

Well, that's certainly a good plan - though at the moment, I haven't contacts the Ava guys about it yet. I do want to implement boost mode, and it would be best if we all maintained the same standards.

Post the graphics in the skinning forum, and I'm sure somebody will connect the dots for you.

At any rate, MXM Skinner 5.0 should make it a snap, if you care to give it a go yourself.
