I didn't post it since it's nothing special.

My xml for deleting cache & auto reboot:

<List Text="Clear Cache" Sort="Off" Batch="True">
<Item Action="AskUser" Arg1="Confirmation">Clear UnleashX Cache?</Item>
<Item Action="Delete" Arg1="c:\items.xml"></Item>
<Item Action="Delete" Arg1="e:\udata\9e115330\"></Item>
<Item Action="MessageBox" Arg1="Completed">Caches Deleted. Press OK to Reboot.</Item>
<Item Action="Restart"></Item>
</List>

Post by: sams_only on April 13, 2004, 03:59:00 AM
I could be wrong about this, but I think if you have "<Item Action="Restart">Reboot</Item>" listed twice in the xml, one of the menu would be blank. So perhaps you should have a different name. It's like this:

NORMAL REBOOT MENU:
<Item Action="Restart">Reboot</Item>

USED FOR AUTO BOOT (USE DIFFERENT NAME)
<Item Action="Restart">Reboot Xbox</Item>
or just use blank
<Item Action="Restart"></Item>

Someone borrowed my Xbox so I can't test to confirm this.

Format X,Y,Z:
This will format the X,Y, and Z drives. Note there is no warrning or conformation.
If you use the Clear Cache script you can just add the three item commands betwean the list tags to that.

hey tweaqr your format with warnings menu scipt doesnt work for me,
i done it exactly how you said and ive also tried everything else i can think of.
I am not new to xml so im pretty familiar with what im doing, and i have only just started using batch scripts. i had no trouble with the cache and backup/restore scripts and i even tweaked them to my own liking without a single hitch.
but i cant for the life of me get the format menu with warnings to work,
i even tried making sure the particular partition had files on it to be deleted/formatted and it still wouldnt work. the messages work but when it
gets to the actual format command it fails....
these batch scripts are pretty cool i would also like to know where i can get more info about it so i can create more, or maybe there are other scripts around somewhere, point me in the right direction pls ?

This is a script i made for the MP library map in halo. You will need to zip up the map and put it in the maps folder in F:\games\Halo\maps\ or wut ever your path is same gos for the script path ( Arg1 ) i havin't tested if the copy command is faster or not but ziping it the way i like it just keeps things smaller.

zman, awesome script but I just spent an hour trying to figure out why my config file wasn't working after putting in your script, its because you forgot the "</item> " closing tag after halomods.com. actually my friend found it for me.

but still awesome script.

So for Halo 2 there is a modified map pack called "Allied."  In the installation you modify mainmenu.map and shared.map,  this is all fine and well untill you start playing system link w/ unmoded boxes (possibly has to do with the H2 patch)

Since those are the only two integral files that are modified I wrote a script to switch between default and allied.

SETUP:
drop the unmodded *.map files into f:\games\Halo 2\maps\unmoded\
and the modded *.map files into f:\games\Halo 2\maps\moded\
edit config.xml and add in the above code to your menu and enjoy.

Sorry guys,

I forgot to mention, clear your cache [X,Y,Z,  look to the first few posts for a script] before running those, else it'll pull the *.map from the cache.

It would be easy enough to make but would need to have one for each game and when you can just do it in the Gamesave Manager in unleashX why bother
