NOOO!!! Knowledge is power. If you give them too much knowledge, how will you control them. We must keep them ignorant and weak willed. We shall rule FOREVER!!

Try this:

default.xip/default.xap

CODE

Then search for:

CODE

       c.SubmenuText1.text = SubMenuItem1;
       c.SubmenuText2.text = SubMenuItem2;
       c.SubmenuText3.text = SubMenuItem3;
       c.SubmenuText4.text = SubMenuItem4;

And make it look like:

CODE

       c.SubmenuText1.text = SubMenuItem1;
       c.SubmenuText2.text = SubMenuItem2;
       c.SubmenuText3.text = SubMenuItem3;
       c.SubmenuText4.text = SubMenuItem4;
   c.SubmenuText5.text = "XBMC";

Then in the

CODE

function OnMoveDown()

change

CODE

if (nCurMainMenuItem < 3)

to:

CODE

if (nCurMainMenuItem < 4)

And Link it in the

CODE

function OnADown()

With:

CODE

   else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4)
   {
   gamelaunch = true;
   launchXbe = "default.xbe";
   launchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition6\\XBMC";
   theLaunchGameLevel.GoTo();
   }

mainmenu5.xip/default.xap

right above this code:

CODE

     ]
  }
   ]
   scale 1.080000 1.080000 1.080000
   translation 400 0 -180

That should do it with a little extra ;)

thanks for posting that Gcue, i'm bad at making tutorials...

anyway, it probably wouldn't be too hard to make a configurable option in config.xbx to toggle 5 menu mode and to set the name and action of menu 5... that's my next project.

i'll post the source here when i complete it.

And Link it in the

CODE

function OnADown()

With:

CODE

else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4)
{
gamelaunch = true;
launchXbe = "default.xbe";
launchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition6\\XBMC";
theLaunchGameLevel.GoTo();
}

and where do i put that code , you didnt say where ,right under function OnADown() or under some code under it? , replace everything under it with it?

{
gamelaunch = true;
launchXbe = "default.xbe";
launchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition6\\XBMC";

}

in the function "function OnADown()" after all of the other "else if" statements.

it's not too hard to figure out what is going on in this function... it determines what the current menu item (nCurMainMenuItem) is. When it's 0 it will open the memory menu, if it's 1 it will open the music menu, if it's 2 it will open the hard drive menu, etc...

this tells it what to do when menu 4 is selected.

here's what it should look like:

CODE

if (nCurMainMenuItem == 0)
{
theGamesMenuIn.Play();
GoToMusicPlayWithSubs();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 1)
{
theGamesMenuIn.Play();
GoToMemory();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 2)
{
theMusicMenuIn.Play();
GoToMusic();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 3)
{
theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
GoToSettings();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4)
{
gamelaunch = true;
launchXbe = "default.xbe";
launchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition6\\XBMC";
theLaunchGameLevel.GoTo();
}

or you could do what i did and make it look like this:

CODE

then open up config.xbx and add the following line anywhere you want (just as long as it is it's own line and you don't change anything before the '=' sign)

CODE

Quick Launch Menu5=F:\\Apps\\XBMC\\default.xbe

you can then set that to whatever you want menu 5 to launch to.

Title: 5 Menues On Thc Lite ^_^
Post by: cypher35 on April 21, 2004, 11:00:00 AM

CODE

Menu5 Text=.:MENU 5:.

under the other menu name configurations in config.xbx

go to:

CODE

var SubMenuItem4;

and add

CODE

var SubMenuItem5;

then go to this function:

CODE

function GetSubmenuText()
{
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx";
SubMenuItem1 = info.GetValue("HardDrive Text");
SubMenuItem2 = info.GetValue("Memory Text");
SubMenuItem3 = info.GetValue("Music Text");
SubMenuItem4 = info.GetValue("Settings Text");
}

and make it look like this:

CODE

then finally, go to where it says

CODE

    GetSubmenuText();
    c.SubmenuText1.text = SubMenuItem1;
    c.SubmenuText2.text = SubMenuItem2;
    c.SubmenuText3.text = SubMenuItem3;
    c.SubmenuText4.text = SubMenuItem4;

(this should be just under "function onLoad()" in "DEF theMainMenu Level")

and add the following line:

CODE

c.SubmenuText5.text = SubMenuItem5;

there ya go... your manu name and launch path are now definabel via config.xbx

@Gcue,

I also edit the mainmenu5.xip/default.xap and default.xip/default.xap how you explained. The 5th tab is working correctly (I edit it to startup Evox for FTP) but it's not visible

also when I standing on the 5th invisible tab, the 1 tab (.: MEMORY:.) also disapear...

I can't understand what I did wrong. Can you help me out?

I'm using tHc LITE 1.2 Blue

P.s Gcue and Jb0nE nice work!

this is just because of a little extra touch that Gcue added in...

i'm not going to go too deep into this, but in a nutshell, you can remove it by going to where he said to edit

CODE

[CODE]
function Update4ButtonMainMenu()
{
var c = theMainMenu.children[0].children[0];
c.game_select_pod_inner02.visible = false; // Button 1 Flashing Orb
c.game_select_pod_inner.visible = false; // Button 2 Flashing Orb
c.game_select_pod_inner04.visible = false; // Button 3 Flashing Orb
c.game_select_pod_inner03.visible = false; // Button 4 Flashing Orb
c.game_select_pod_inner032.visible = false;

if (nCurMainMenuItem == 0) // Button 1
{
c.game_select_pod_inner02.visible = true;

c.theMenuItems.SetRotation(0, 0, 1, -0.25);

c.theMemoryItem.SetRotation(0, 1, 0, -0.25);
c.theMemoryItem.SetAlpha(0.5);
c.theMusicItem.SetRotation(0, 1, 0, -0.25);
c.theMusicItem.SetAlpha(1);
c.theOnlineItem.SetRotation(0, 1, 0, -0.25);
c.theOnlineItem.SetAlpha(0.2);
c.theSettingsItem.SetRotation(0, 1, 0, -0.25);
c.theSettingsItem.SetAlpha(0);
c.theExtraItem.SetRotation(0, 1, 0, -0.25);
c.theExtraItem.SetAlpha(0);

c.MemoryPanelMaterial.name = "GameHilite";
c.MusicPanelMaterial.name = "FlatSurfaces2sided";
c.OnlinePanelMaterial.name = "FlatSurfaces2sided";
c.SettingsPanelMaterial.name = "FlatSurfaces2sided";
c.ExtraPanelMaterial.name = "FlatSurfaces2sided";

c.MemoryTextMaterial.name = "HilightedType";
c.MusicTextMaterial.name = "NavType";
c.OnlineTextMaterial.name = "NavType";
c.SettingsTextMaterial.name = "NavType";
c.ExtraTextMaterial.name = "NavType";

}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 1) // Button 2 (Default position)
{

etc...
...
...

the same code is basicly repeated for each menu item... if you look closely, he is changing the alpha (transparency) level of the menu items as they move farther away from the selection.
example:

CODE

c.theOnlineItem.SetAlpha(0.2);

just delete the lines where it says something like
"c.the*Something*Item.SetAlpha(*some number*)"

there should be about 25 of them (5 for each "if (nCurMainMenuItem ==)" statement)

good to know...

@Gcue how come when I select the 5th tab and it shows up. It's still way hidden at the back of the orb (just like what Xbox-Savage said). Was it the reason to show up like that at the back of the orb??

Can you maybe tell me how to edit the default.xip/default.xap so that the 5th tab is solid and right under the 4th tab..just like the picture of Cypher35.

if the menu is appearing in the wrong place, then you probably misplaced the code you were supposed to add before this:

I cant really find a solution to this....follow the tutorial step by step(even repeated with each color dash available 3 times) until i got all five tabs with names and was able to edit the name on the config.xbx, HOWEVER, the fifth tab STill is hidden way back in the background. I try putting the code on top of that bracket, nothing works...changed to end of the Translation line after the closing bracket and Nothing works. if this is the only part keeping me from using tHc Lite, please anyone that successfully has all their five tabs showing as they are suppose to, show the code how is suppose to be added. Thanks in advance and Thanks to all of you for helping adding more features to this tHc Lite and the tHc regular/or pre-final.

Same problem here. Pasting the code right before the sqaure bracket puts the tab far away and centered on the orb. I can still select it and launch XBMC just fine, but it doesn't appear as it should. Was this centered on the green dash, b/c I'm using the blue dash for it.

Title: 5 Menues On Thc Lite ^_^
Post by: WarriorSan on April 23, 2004, 03:41:00 AM

@Aron Parsons,

I've also got the blue version and I think that we don't do anything wrong. This is because the code that Gcue gave us was meant to be that only 4 tabs are visible and when you move down the 5th tab shows up. So your mainmenu won't be clogged up with a crap load of tabs.

So I (we) hope that maybe Gcue can say how to make the 5th tab solid and underneath the 4th tab?

Search for:

control DEF theMainMenuJoy Joystick

Do this:

Voila. One simple line.

i did the same thing , only that i used the code QuickLaunch ("Menu5") instead of launch ("default.xbe","\\Device\\Harddisk0\\partition6\\Apps\\XBMP"); , that way you can edit it on the config.xbx like this :

CODE

Quick Launches
Holding L+R + button launches your app

open the file with a notepad and search for "xpmp" and change it into "xbmc"

or change the hole path, if your xbmc isn't in your apps folder..

@ cypher35,

Thanks for all your help

@ macegriffon,

I think you forgot to edit your config.xbx explained by cypher35

@Alekz,

[Inside the folder called EDIT you see a file called default.xap (<= this one goes into the default.XIP) and the other default.xap inside the folder mainmenu5 goes into suprise....the mainmenu5.XIP]

With WinXIP you open the default.XIP then push Edit and then choose Insert. Now open the file EDIT/default.xap and when it ask to replace/overwrite click yes. Now save the file as default.XIP.

Now open the mainmenu5.XIP with WinXIP and insert the other default.xap (EDIT/mainmenu5/default.xap) and save as mainmenu5.XIP

And edit the config.xbx (Credits to cypher35)

QUOTE

while we're on the subject of making things easily configurable, let's make the menu name editable from config.xbx also...

first off, add the line
CODE
Menu5 Text=.:MENU 5:.

under the other menu name configurations in config.xbx

there ya go... your manu name and launch path are now definabel via config.xbx

and

QUOTE

and add the following line anywhere you want (just as long as it is it's own line and you don't change anything before the '=' sign)

CODE
Quick Launch Menu5=F:\\Apps\\XBMC\\default.xbe

you can then set that to whatever you want menu 5 to launch to.

@ImOkRuOk,

If you follow the code for 5th menu tab given by Gcue I think it was meant to be back at the end of the orb, because I tried the code many times and just like many others it's showing up way there...

and Gcue also said:

QUOTE

I made this so that only 4 tabs was visible and when you move down the 5th tab shows up. So your mainmenu wont be clogged up with a crap load of tabs damn. You guys are thick.

But I downloaded cypher35 EDIT.rar and to make the 5th menu tab easy configurable for changing the name of the 5th menu and set to whatever you want to launch it we have to edit the config.xbx (Credits to cypher35)

Add the line

CODE

Menu5 Text=.:MENU 5:. <= call it whatever you want

under the other menu name configurations in config.xbx, like this:

CODE

Memory Text=.:MEMORY:.
Music Text=.:MUSIC:.
HardDrive Text=.:HARD DRIVE:.
Settings Text=.:SETTINGS:.
Menu5 Text=.:MENU 5:.

and add the following line:

CODE

Quick Launch Menu5=F:\\Apps\\XBMC\\default.xbe <= and set to whatever you want to launch it

under the other Quick Launches, like this:

CODE

Quick Launches
Holding L+R + button launches your app

Quick Launch A=F:\\apps\\Xbox Media Center\\default.xbe
Quick Launch B=F:\\apps\\Xcommander\\default.xbe
Quick Launch X=C:\\xbe\\ejecttray.xbe
Quick Launch Y=C:\\xbe\\loadtray.xbe
Quick Launch Menu5=F:\\Apps\\XBMC\\default.xbe

It worked for me and I renamed the 5th tab to .: FTP:. and set it to launch evox :D <

:D Fist of all I want to say you guys ROCK! I have wanted to do the 5th tab for some time now. I am more then happier that I switched from neXgen.

:unsure: So I hate to sound picky when I ask the next two questions I grabbed the edit.rar file and I must say cypher35 you are god. And followed the steps to change the config.xbx file. And all is working good.

:( But my original order is different. Can I arrange it in the order it was originally and if so how? If I missed that here in the post please for give me. :huh:

;) And also is there possibility for a 6th tab or more? <

but...

as you can see on the left picture, some of the buttons were rearranged. the right picture is of the hard drive submenu. the submenu's title is wrong, and i was wondering if this could be fixed? i know its not a huge problem, i guess more of a preference...

any help guys??

*blaze_1ne: just read your post again and i don't think this was what you were looking for, but I'll leave it up for anyone else that doesn't know.

To change the order of your menus:
(it's a little complicated so try to follow the color coordination)
just search in default.xip/default.xap for:

function GetSubmenuText()
{
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx";
SubMenuItem1 = info.GetValue("Memory Text");
SubMenuItem2 = info.GetValue("Music Text");
SubMenuItem3 = info.GetValue("HardDrive Text");
SubMenuItem4 = info.GetValue("Settings Text");
SubMenuItem5 = info.GetValue("Menu5 Text");
}

and rearrange the order (of the items I colored below) to your liking. They'll be in the same order top to bottom in thC as what you use here.

I have mine set up like:
function GetSubmenuText()
{
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx";
SubMenuItem1 = info.GetValue("HardDrive Text");
SubMenuItem2 = info.GetValue("Menu5 Text");
SubMenuItem3 = info.GetValue("Music Text");
SubMenuItem4 = info.GetValue("Memory Text");
SubMenuItem5 = info.GetValue("Settings Text");
}

___________________________________________________________________

then find this section:

control DEF theMainMenuJoy Joystick
{
function OnADown()

and a little below that, change the order of what's in the if statements to match what you did above (this is mine, yours will look similar but rearranged):

if (nCurMainMenuItem == 0)
{
theGamesMenuIn.Play();
GoToMusicPlayWithSubs(); <--move these around to match the order above
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 1)
{
QuickLaunch("Menu5");
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 2)
{
theMusicMenuIn.Play();
GoToMusic();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 3)
{
theGamesMenuIn.Play();
GoToMemory();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4)
{
theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
GoToSettings();
}
}
}

______________________________________________________________

and lastly from the config.xbx edit it to coordinate with the others (just label them based on what they say):

Memory Text=.: MEMORY :.
Music Text=.: MUSIC :.
HardDrive Text=.: LAUNCH :.
Settings Text=.: SETTINGS :.
Menu5 Text=.: FTP :.

this is how I did it. hope it helps some of you...if i got too complicated...oh well. sorry. If there's an easier way, someone else can post it. I'm too tired right now.

ps. Thanks Cypher for helping everyone (including me) with getting the 5th menu up and running!

, and thanks chulo333 for helping fix the tab's correctly. i've got everthing working and i have the renaming setup using config.xbx as cypher directed, but for some reason when i try to launch the 5th tab it just acts like it's launching a program and restarts THC again. not sure the reason, i've also tried other paths to other quick launch apps that i have currently working and it does the same thing. any help would be appreciated. thanks again.

i'm having this same problem. In my Hard Drive submenu it say ".::soundz::." instead ".::Hard Drive::." Its probably something fairly simple, but I'm not very experienced with coding, and I haven't been able to figure it out. Other than that, the xaps worked great! This dash, in conjunction with UnleashX is the ultimate!

Post by: n3wbie on May 10, 2004, 05:27:00 PM

First of, Thank you Cypher35 for the 5th orb code. I'm really suck with adding the code manually. Thank you again.

I added the code and found out that my usual menu was changed. So I did some coding to be able to freely move the menu around the 5 orbs using the config file instead of having to make fix changes to the program.

in the default.xip/default.xap, I make changes to the GetSubmenuText function to retrieve the menu text under a different name, Menu1, Menu2 and so forth so that it can be generic and won't confuse me.

CODE

function GetSubmenuText()
{
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx";
SubMenuItem1 = info.GetValue("Menu1 Text");
SubMenuItem2 = info.GetValue("Menu2 Text");
SubMenuItem3 = info.GetValue("Menu3 Text");
SubMenuItem4 = info.GetValue("Menu4 Text");
SubMenuItem5 = info.GetValue("Menu5 Text");
}

Then I added another function called MenuAction(x). This function take 1 input and retrieve the static code that I defined to for each action: i.e.
RunMem = Run the Memory
RunMusic = Run Music
RunMenu = Run Harddrive Menu
RunSetting = Run Setting
Anything else = a quick launch of that name.

CODE

Now in the MainMenuJoy section (define joystick action at the main menu I guess???). I changed the code as follow:

CODE

control DEF theMainMenuJoy Joystick
{
function OnADown()
{
PlaySoundA();
if((LeftTrigger == true) & (RightTrigger == true))
{
QuickLaunch("A");
}
else
{
if (nCurMainMenuItem == 0)
{
MenuAction("Menu1");
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 1)
{
MenuAction("Menu2");
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 2)
{
MenuAction("Menu3");
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 3)
{
MenuAction("Menu4");
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4)
{
MenuAction("Menu5");
}
}
}
...

Added the default.xap back into the default.xip. Now it's time for the config.xbx file.

CODE

Background Music=Yes
Use Thc Orb=No

Menu1 Text=.:MEMORY:. <-- I change these to Menu1 to Menu5 Text
Menu2 Text=.:MUSIC:.
Menu3 Text=.:START MENU:.
Menu4 Text=.:MEDIA CENTER:.
Menu5 Text=.:SETTINGS:.

Menus Action code: <-- I added this description
Value Description
RunMem Run Memory
RunMusic Run Music
RunMenu Run Harddrive Menu.
RunSetting Run Setting
QL Name Run Quick Launches. Example: Menu5 will cause it to run QL Menu5

Menu1Action=RunMem <-- Here are the 5 menu actions.
Menu2Action=RunMusic
Menu3Action=RunMenu
Menu4Action=XBMC
Menu5Action=RunSetting

Quick Launches
Holding L+R + button launches your app

Quick Launch A=
Quick Launch B=
Quick Launch X=
Quick Launch Y=
Quick Launch XBMC=F:\\XBMedia\\default.xbe

You can see that Menu1 is to run Memory, Menu2 to run Music, Menu 3 to run Harddrive menu, Menu4 to run a quick launch called XBMC, and menu 5 to run Setting.

If you desire to get rid of RunMusic and run Evox for ftp instead, just change one of the menu text to reflect that and then change the associated Menu action to run the quick launch. For example:

CODE

Menu2 Text=.:EVOX FTP:.
...

Then change the menu action

CODE

Menu2Action=Evox
...

Now add a quick launch with a Evox name to run evox.

CODE

Quick Launch Evox=F:\\Evox\\default.xbe

Hope it helps someone.

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I found out that by modifying the .xap file using a text editor program, such as notepad, ultraedit or some of those, I didn't have the stupid 21 error. Probably this is just me. <

n3wbie, great code man! I think this should help a lot of people who have trouble editing code. I'm a original tHc guy myself but I might try to adapt your code for that (if you don't mind of course ;) ). Anyways, great coding! Keep it up.

QUOTE

else if (a != "EVOX") <----- I assume this is correct?

I think you have to leave it like this:

CODE

else if (a != " ")

since != means "not equal", the code below it will only execute with that condition. That way it will run your quicklaunch if you have ANY item written in "MenuXAction". <

Title: 5 Menues On Thc Lite ^_^
Post by: n3wbie on May 11, 2004, 10:03:00 AM

nmajin,

As vintster already pointed out, you should leave the code as mentioned because it will allows you to fire off multiple different program using the quick launch. The code basically say that if the MenuXAction is not blank and is not RunMem, RunMusic, RunMenu, or RunSetting, then quick launch it.

Vintster,
Thank you for the comment, I'm just a starter so my code may be clumpsy. Feel free to make changes to it :) ...

Post by: kraus on May 15, 2004, 08:02:00 PM

blaze_1ne:
i found what your looking for
default.xip - harddrive.xap
do a search for this
c.TitleText1.text = SubMenuItem3;
change the 3 to 1 (if its the first menu item)
2 if its the second.. you get the idea

i also figuired out how to make it an entry in config.xbx

in default.xip edit harddrive.xap

do a search for this line
c.TitleText1.text = SubMenuItem3;

change that to

// c.TitleText1.text = SubMenuItem3;
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx";
var a = info.GetValue("HardDriveMenu");
if (a == "1")
{
c.TitleText1.text = SubMenuItem1;
}
else if (a == "2")
{
c.TitleText1.text = SubMenuItem2;
}
else if (a == "3")
{
c.TitleText1.text = SubMenuItem3;
}
else if (a == "4")
{
c.TitleText1.text = SubMenuItem4;
}
else if (a == "5")
{
c.TitleText1.text = SubMenuItem5;
}
else
{
c.TitleText1.text = SubMenuItem3;
}

then add this line to you config.xbx

// Define where runmenu is
// 1 thru 5
HardDriveMenu=1

now you can have the right title when you open RunMenu

CODE

else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 3)

}

Look like this:

CODE

else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 3)
{
launch( "default.xbe", "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition2" );
}

Make sure you cut and paste what i put up there. You need to have some spaces in there. Wierd i know, but it wont work without them.

Have Fun!

Ok, i have done this over a million times and am now the closest, i have the 5th tab showing up and in place, moving correctly and launching what its supposed to. The only problem i have now is that there is another tab behind the orb. if anyone would be willin to take a look @ my xap.'s id muchly appreciate it.

Post by: INSB_GLOCK on November 19, 2004, 03:51:00 AM

he posted his xaps. but the menus are all f--ked up "harddrive being first and so on. i dunno about this one but i think someone should paste some code where there are 4 tabs visable upfront
and when you move to the next fifth one the first tab swings back to the back of the orb and the 5th one swings foward. and get it so theirs more than just five tabs, and post their xaps. this shit is whack and everytime i try to do it i end up fuckin somefin up. and itd be nice if all them tabs would be configurable by config.xbx. 10 to 15 tabs sounds nice

I correctly added the 5th tab which launches Evolution X for FTP. Now When I start up THC lite, the higlited TAB is usually the Memory one. MY order of TABs from top to bottom is:

.::STORAGE::.(harddrive)
.::MEMORY::.
.::MUSIC::.
.::SETTINGS::.
.::EVOLUTION X::.

When the dash launches it automatically higlights Memory, but I want it to automatically highlight Music, which is right in the middle and looks better. Can anybody tell me what code I have to modify to get this to work? Thanks!

I think it is in the default.xip/default.xap, but I'm not sure...

Alright, nevermind. I figued it out! I feel so good, even though it was so simple!

If anybody else needs this here's a tut:

Open up default.xip/default.xap

Search for this code:

nCurMainMenuItem =1;

It should bring you right to the value you have to change. Change the above 1 to a 2 to get it right in the middle if you have 5 tabs! Sweet!

Save and FTP back!
