Entry Maker
« on: January 29, 2004, 04:12:00 PM »
UPDATE
Removed the need to add a section to your MXM.xml for the override code
 (You can delete it if you added it)
 - A check is done to see if a EM-Override.xml exists. If it doesn't
   then you will be prompted to enter the override pass at that time.
   That pass will be converted to an MD5 and saved out to an xml file
   (E:\UDATA\00004321\EM-Override.xml)
   This will automatically happen the first time you run this version
   of EntryMaker, currently 6.0

   Also note that if you try to use it for the first time on a game
   that already has an entry, it will prompt for the override code
   and then it will immediatly ask you for it again because the game
   has an entry. This is normal.

This will be the last update until I finish a Dialog based version

CODE

;###########################################################
;# Name: Entry Maker
;# Author: flattspott
;# Date: 02-16-2004
;# Version: 6.0
;# FileName: EntryMaker.xas
;#
;# Purpose:
;#  Allows you to create MXM_Entry.xml files on your Xbox. Once
;#  made they are permanent even after you reset the menu cache,
;#  unless you go and delete the MXM_Entry.xml.
;#
;# Info:
;#  You can define the title, description, cover, thumbnail, preview
;#  and passcode that are used by MXM for the selected game or app.
;#  Only new MXM_Entry.xml's are made. If there's an old one it will
;#  just get overwritten (but not before asking for an override code).
;#  However it doesn't work properly yet if you use it on a menu item
;#  that was manually entered into your Menu.xml like Linux maybe.
;#  If you try it, the MXM_Entry gets saved to where MXM is run from.
;#  Other then that it works fine for any menu items that where made
;#  from an AutoDir.
;#
;# Installation:
;#  Upload the EntryMaker.xas file to your Xbox, then add something like
;#  this somewhere in your MXM.xml.
;#  $ActualPath$ is the MXM folder for your info.
;#  
;#    
;#      
;#        HD
;#        CallFile $ActualPath$\Scripts\EntryMaker.xas
;#      
;#    
;#
;#              Reboot your Xbox for it to show up in the menu.
;#
;# Usage:
;#  When on a menu item press Y to bring up the System Menu.
;#  Then go to Game Options and select Entry Maker.
;#  You can use it for any menu item, not just games specifically.
;#  If a game already has an Entry it will prompt you to enter
;#  an authorization code to proceed.

Also, I fail to mention. This will only work with the last few WIP releases or newer seeing how 0.9n6 doesn't have the StringInput stuff.  <

this and a few of the other scripts are SUPER cool.  Perhaps BenJeremy would consider packaging them in with the next release of MXM... since they are very very small (especially when rar'ed)... and super cool features...

Actually, once dialog UI is done, I'll be calling on ActionScripting WIP Testers to help me complete the system ;) with some cool scripts to be made internal to MXM.

The auto-installer routine needs a lot of work right now, and I'd like to make some of the cool functionality that's been createdf a part of the standard MXM build.

Hi All .. I'm new to this forum and MXM.

I've only been using MXM for a few days but it's already starting to make my XBOX look really KOOL.  The options are endless.  I've got some game trailers running and I've been playing with the sound a bit.  I do have a background in computer programming but it's been a while!

I'm currently using MXM 0.9n6 and have been trying to passcode some of the games & apps so that my 6yr old doesn't get into them.  I haven't had much luck so far .... I'm not sure where to put the MXM_Entry.xml file??  When doing a search for info I came across this MXM scripting but I think it says it won't work with the version of MXM that I have.  And I'm unsure of what this WIP is and how it relates to MXM .... I'll have to read a little more of this forum maybe ... but everyone already seems to know what it is.  

 :blink:  :uhh:  :blink:

The MXM Entry Maker sounds like the solution to my problem but I'm not sure if I can use it with the version that I have .... and/or do I need some update files??  Any advice or a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated !!

Thanks .. Dyesub Dave.    B)
