Just noticed the ESRB rating, which can be used to set parental controls


That's what is was thinking when I added it...

the test crap was more checks on my part.  with all the changes to the db, im getting lost myself and put them in there.  I should have told everyone to ignore it.

going to add 1 more field so i can diff between video formats. 0=wmv, 1=xmv  so the db can be used by both apps and not request an invalid video in mxm.

the more I think about it.. the more i prefer the one-line-per-game option.  It was broken up to make it easier to read without scrolling so much,  but who reads that stuff anyway? hehe

BJ, pm on the info you wanted.

Edit: XML Updated, this should be the final structure on the db... except if more attribs need to be added.

Damn,  0=wmv, 1=xmv. That explains if for me. Guess I wasn't reading correctly the first time.

once this is done and working,  skin downloading isnt far behind... if not simultaneous.  biggrin.gif

Edit: flattspott just hit me with another pm.   if forgot the VidID so the xml was updated once again.

to recap:
Video =  (null, 0=wmv,1=xmv)
VidID =   web reference number (to tell the site which file to send)

The good thing is with BlazeD, flattspott, BJ, UnleashX and myself all talking it through so much lately.. progress is really being made and in more ways than one.


Kinda strange that I'm the only non-major player in the scene. Meaning I don't run a related site or program. Should I be scared or something.... ph34r.gif

Would there be anyway to get it to display the title name if the right game wasn't inserted?
Say

msgbox "Please insert %title% disk

I thought this might be possible but after looking throught the actionscript collection post it appears there is no %title% variable... Any other way to do it?


Better late then never...  you can pull the title from an xbe using

SetFunc title XBETitle D:\default.xbe

That's not what's needed...

%_gametitle% works with context scripts.  Don't know if it works with normal entries.

cool.   I will get a more accurate rssgamesdb2.xml updated with valid info so the downloading can be more thoroughly tested using the xml values and not a hard-coded file/url.

just to make sure everyone is on the same page... we all know this is going to be hosted by Blazed on xbox-skins.net right?  

I think it might be wise to dupe the file currently used so you can test it on his site to make sure it all goes well with the cookies and stuff.

Im going to work on this all weekend,  so it should be done rather soon.

I don't know whats coming but skin/vid dl'ding sounds ACE!!!!
The only question i have though is this: KF with the new layout of the data, how do we submit this data? And how do we get it in this style for the same matter?

I agree with neverwill - only in this forum could you knights unite to provide a safer future for us all  laugh.gif  beerchug.gif

Well, an actionscript can and will be created to pull the data from the files on the xbox.

Plus,  we will try to get it set up so that if MXM/UnleashX find a title not in the DB,  it will allow the user to submit them to the DB from within the dashboard.


that data (actionscript dvd.xml) can be search through and any non-duplicate values entered to update the database.

unleashX items.xml can be used to pull game IDs from too.

the other stuff that MXM/UnleashX cannot generate will be added manually by a group of database admins.  ESRB, players, video link etc.  

Once it all gets set in stone, and set up completely,  more info will be available as to how the thing gets updated and points of contact to add stuff that is missing (or might be incorrect)


Right now,  Flattspott is creating a XML file from the current DB, adding in values that are missing (that he can provide).  I think he is doing this manually.. so huge kudos to him for taking this on himself.   I think he is up to the D's   beerchug.gif

He also has a script set up to display the info in MXM,  but this was based off version 1 of the database.
