CODE
// GUID Generator

Set GUID ""
For I = 1 To 5
  Set GUID%I% ""
Next

Set Part1 8
Set Part2 4
Set Part3 4
Set Part4 4
Set Part5 12
Set Split -

Set g1 $SerialNumber$
Set g2 $XboxVersion$
Set g3 $MAC$
Set g4 $Time$
Set g5 $Timer$

Set Table "0123456789abcdef"
SetFunc Count Length %Table%

For I = 0 To %Count%
  SetFunc Char%I% Mid %I% 1 %Table%
Next

For S = 1 To 5
  For I = 1 To %Part{S}%
     :Again
     Set Current $rand$
     Mod Current %Count%
     If# %Current% < 0 Goto Again
     Set GUID%S% %GUID{S}%%Char{Current}%
     Set GUID%S% %GUID{S}%%g{S}%
     SetFunc GUID%S% MD5 %GUID{S}%
     SetFunc GUID%S% Left %Part{S}% %GUID{S}%
  Next
  If# %S% == 5 Then
     Set Split ""
  EndIf
  Set GUID %GUID%%GUID{S}%%Split%
Next

Set GUID {%GUID%}
MsgBox "GUID is %GUID%"
Quit


EDIT. I changed it a little...

But you're defeating the purpose of a GUID being a GUID.  I think there's more to it than just random numbers.

Anyway, KF, your inbox is full.

The script reminds me of a bug: the mod command sometimes returns negatives when using $rand$.  <

Yeah, to generate GUIDs 'properly', you're supposed to use the machines MAC address, current time, and various other things I can't remember. The idea is that no two machines can create the same GUID twice. http://hegel.ittc.uk...ds-guids-01.txt I think is the definitive reference, but it may have been superceded.

Yeah, we have a real GUID creator on the mediaxmenu website, in the scripting section, already... I believe flattspott was just messing around with a concept...

Well what I I were to do this

65BD716E%XBOXMAC% > MD5 > First 8 letters
DC1A%XBOXMAC% > MD5 > First 4 letters
4d07%XBOXMAC% > MD5 > First 4 letters
9FCD%XBOXMAC% > MD5 > First 4 letters
0C2FFE3B78FE%XBOXMAC% > MD5 > First 12 letters

Hopefully you get the idea. Wouldn't that be unique?

The point was so I could could convert xas files to Modules and install then in the File Manager.  <

The actual GUID is designed to be globally unique until the next century or so.  Meaning, any ID's being generated on any machine in the world will be different.

However, on the xbox, we will probably not need that 'secure' uniqueness, because the chances of a matching ID are pretty slim.  So you could work with completely random digits.  

From what I know, a part of the ID is generated using the current time on the machine, and then another part of it is generated from the MAC.  Therefore, every machine will generate different ID's at different times, and every machine will generate different ID's even at the same time because of the MAC.  <

Thats what I said back in the day. Everyone thought I was retarded or something.
That's why I put If# %Current% < 0 Goto Again in it.


Anywho, I thought the script what pretty good seeing how simple it is.   <

I just put the whole thing into a For Loop and spit out each GUID to a file 1000 times. Then using UltraEdit I sorted the list to check for dupes. Everyone was unique.

btw.. i concur.  

you were setting

QUOTE
Set g1 $SerialNumber$
Set g2 $XboxVersion$
Set g3 $MAC$
Set g4 $Time$
Set g5 $Timer$



but nowhere in the script did i see you use them in the guid creation.


you could probably just use something like

MD5($SerialNumber$$RANDOMNUMBER$XboxVersion$$MAC$$Time$)

and format it accordinly to get a decent GUID for the xbox.

I don't know when it was added, but it's there.

Edit: Maybe you shouldn't use serial numbers in there ph34r.gif

Oh, BTW....random numbers are generated as DWORDs (unsigned 32 bit), but when examining values as numbers, it looks at them as signed. I'll have to take a quick look at the random "special"  to make sure it's formatting it as unsigned.  <

Yes, but Geniusalz has said that the mod operator wasn't working, so I'll take a look at it shortly.  <
