Title: Help With Adding Orbs
Post by: blckwdw1986 on February 13, 2005, 11:02:00 PM

I downloaded the orb pack and read the "directions" but didn't help much  :huh:  , I have tried editing the default.xip to add the orb but after i added it to my xbox, it would not boot  <_<  .  Any 1 who can help, please and thank you  :D  . btw i saw some pics of the orbs and they kick ass! Thanks in advance!   B)

*sigh*

CODE

1.  Rename the orb of your choice to "OrbCell-FACES.xm"

2.  For best results, open mainmenu.xip with Winxip, then edit the very bottom of default.xap with notepad or simlar to look like this:

......................................................

3. Insert the edited .xap back into the .xip.

4. Insert the new orb into the xip , save, send to xbox.

I've used the world orbcell and all work fine.....

@thaswiftness

remember:

ensure to add into skin directory the orbcellwall.xbx file of texture for orbcell indicated into Gasclown code:

CODE

texture ImageTexture
       {
          alpha true
          url "orbcellwall.xbx"
       }

P.S.
I've on my dash also the info panel and the date panel.
