Yeah i think thats a great idea koldfuzion!!!

[koldfuzion]

If needed,  I can post the scripts i used.

did a single dvd one and a cpx-menux one.   both saved me a tremendous amount of time....and for that, I thank BJ and all those that nudge him along to make  actionscripts even better.

The DB is HUGE now,  but there are always holes to file.   Now comes the burdoning task of "How do we keep it updated?"  

[chilin_dude]

Yeah please do post them, as I have NO games on my hdd and 50ish on dvd so this would be great... Also a very quick way for me to get the IDs to enter into my menu.xml so i can launch the dvd (This thread)

[koldfuzion]

you can get the scripts HERE.. again,  there are two included.. one for single dvd and one for CPX-MenuX dvd structure.  Be sure you read the dvd_readme.txt file completely.



btw chilin_dude,  the db is 383 id's,  probably enough to get you going with your scripts, you can download the Full XML file HERE.

Wicked, it is working great thanks!!!
Will do it for all my games then UPLoad it!

[flattspott]

Here's what I was thinking.

This is provided that WEBFILEFETCH works with AllXboxSkins.com

When we run the dvdscript or whatnot it will fetch the current list.
Then the script scans your xbes and check to see if it already in that list.
If it is it's skipped, if not then
it adds it your dvd.xml, that you'll later upload to AllXboxSkins.com

You know what ticks me off though. This post I made back in February. http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=168138 It was the same idea of sorts, no one seemed interested then.

hehehe same here... read the third post down.  Now look where we're at.

Thats because not many people like you

[koldfuzion]

hrmm, after giving it a little thought,  the GamesID database could even be more useful.

Add a "system link" option to it and if the db is located on the xbox,  then add  Live Enabled and System Link skinning elements/system strings to the skins too.

So when you scroll through the games menu,  you could also see which ones are system linkable and live enabled.

Edit: Would probably be a good deal if UnleashX used something like this too since he captures the ID in the items.xml

[BenJeremy]

Well, Two things of note here - 1. Excellent database, KF. Now I need to get cranking on making it useful in the menu loading. 2. UnleashX has a RAR lib he's going to opnme the source on; very nice. I **WILL** integrate it as soon as he posts it. I'm sure it's a solid piece of work.

I may have more time to work this week, but it's been very difficult finding the time lately. Work (as in day job) and family have been demanding of late, as well as my own efforts to combat the results of my own sloth (trying to lose weight - particularly before my class reunion - lost 12lbs in two weeks so far).

Anyhoo... I'll have to start a white paper on the Games DB to get more discussion rolling, as well.

[koldfuzion]

what would be the chances of the dash submitting its own updates to the db?

the system-link/live portions might have to be a manual change..but thats simple enough.

Yeah, I should be able to do something like that.
