Just wanted to mention that the screenshots above have been updated - the two menu screen shots.

Morpheus looks a little surreal - a side effect of trying to crop a moving video shot and chromakeying - I spent a bit of time trying to make him look a bit more 'real' but decided to tweak it to make him look a bit more 'generated' instead, since it looked better, actually.

The only inprovement I'd like to make on the shot is to include a roiling cloud background.

Work continues on bug fixes... lots of music manager tweaks.

Just to update things for people....

Currently, I'm integrating J.P.Patches' FTP code into MXM, though it's a bit rough going  ohmy.gif  For some bizarre reason, the compiler hates his files... nothing I can see, but everytime I include his code directly, I get the most bizarre compiler errors.

At any rate, I'm slowly adding the code in by retyping it (which seems to work well) and renaming suspect variables (tsk, tsk, JP... use hungarian!!!)

I have a few small things to look at, afterward, but hopefully "K" will have a functional FTP server.

OK, no "K" tonight.... just spent a TON of time trying to get this new code to work. Some mighty bizarre stuff going on with the compiler (comments were hosing things up bad for some odd, frustrating reason.)

At any rate, it should be worth the wait... I replaced something, but I'll let the picture speak for itself:

Much thanks to J.P. Patches! I've had to basically rewrite everything there, because of the compiler issues, but no changes to the actual code, yet. I haven't fully tested yet, but nice thing is that the code is simple, and just works.

w00t! i went back to evox as my dash the other day, but MXM is going straight back on when K comes out, as long as the directory listing cacheing is implemented too biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Hey Ben wassup !

Are you going to release the Matrix skin together with the MXM  k or can we get it before ? (or after)  

And good luck on making the FTP work ! wink.gif

Well, the FTP seems to be OK, I can browse, but I haven't tried transferring yet. I'll transfer some WMV files, back and forth, to make sure it's kosher.

As for the Skin, I'll release it at the same time, but separately, for obvious reasons. There may be some music with the one found at "The Usual Places" which will beef it up to another 14MB, while the WMV only version weighs in at about 2MB so far.

I'll have some serious development time today (wife and kids going to a relative's b-day party), and the compiler won't be sidetracking me like it did yesterday.

the skin is pretty awesome, but i dont think its simple enough to be my default skin. if you even implement HDD partitioning/formatting (AKA evox style), it would be a damn nice skin to use on installer cds though
