| Chevydash is great n'all, but Jbone's doing a hell of a job and he should be forgiven for getting a little pissed off if he's going to make the best dashboard ever. |
I told you guys before in my posts that I wanted jbone to finish his work. Don't you guys remember my post about what's up with final. I told him there that I was a fan of his. I had a copy of 2gams dash and just didn't like the feel. So I just wanted to try to make one? It just a hobby for me just like motorcycles if I can do something I will. No one will every replace JbOnE so I don't know why he thinks something is going to change? JbOnE will make the best dash ever I just want to have fun with modding and that is the main reason I'm here so don't hate me.

| Hey chevy, hitting Y with the update still doesnt do anything? What do you think I am doing wrong? |
Not sure what going on with that but I will look into it. I just want to get untextured updated with a skin.xap that works with original, but the main tab is white so there seems to be some bug in the skin code or maybe the placement in the code? That is my main focus today. Does the music timeslider work fine?

Slider works great! Everything works great for me just the system info bug when I hit Y.
Love the work man!
Sheriff
Found the fix for the skin code works good now I going to try something else and out an update for untextured.
WooT
hey chevy, its a shame chevydash was removed from the tHc forums. anyway,
is chevydash at a safe and usable stage. i haven't uploaded to my xbox yet, but is it safe for me to set it as my default dash?
oh and you know that link you posted with the halo 2 background taken from the Halo2 trailer with MC standing on the left holding a machine gun on the ship etc, where can i find that pic and how do i set it as the background picture? i want it to look exactly like that picture did. it has the silver outlined tabs etc.
thanks and keep up the good work, don't let people like jbone stop you lol.
What is the difference between the texured and untexured dash? I am not understanding why you have two kinds? The untextured you just released just black screens on me
Sheriff
nice , i like it , the System Panel is back and with more info.
found a bug , if you turn off Auto Dash Music , then you reboot , Hit X , the clock hides but theres no Control Panel and the dash gets laggy , but if i press the Left Stick for the secondary Player and play a song , then the control panel works again until i reboot.
Chevy! Great to hear you are still at it! Cant wait for untextured to be updated. I love tHc blue. New skinning system as well? Damn you are truly taking original to new heights. Hope to see more work from you.
Untextured Update is now out! UntexturedAug23.rar Skin.xip was added some small updates to fullscreen visual. Also it has all of the current updates that textured has.

Keep up the good work Cevy
Is there an update for the textured one with skin.xap around?
Skinning for your Cevydash are still in progress !
Dammit! For the love of me i cant get the hard drive tab to work. Everything else is fine. I configured the the hard drive tab using both methods and nothing. I am using the settings style with submenus. It gets the games folder and apps. But it doesnt even run the emulators on it just beeps like there is no emulators folder and when i click on my homebrew tab it sends me to the music style1 with submenus with every tab blank. What the crap is going on. Been at this for more than an hour. Chevy maybe you can shed some light on this.

Great Chevy, im actually very glad to hear your adressing this problem cuz the choosing of menu and sub menu styles was one of the main reasons i moved from lite to original. Also, i think it would be more practical to create an icon.xip and music.xip so that our default.xip isnt so crowded. Also what do you mean by visual panel in control panel? Maybe i can help you out. Keep up the great work!
Hey Sheriff to get untextured to work just use on of your xbe from lite and rename it thc.xbe. THen rename the folder tHc_Dash_v1B.10027001 to thcdata. Itll work everytime.

| To fix the lite animation just open default.xip->default.xap goto MainMenuAttract() and change var a = 3; |
It worked fine. I went with a var a = 4; it slows the animation down just enough. Thanks for finding a fix

edit: Never mind chevy got it
| QUOTE |
| What for an var we must chance to var a = 3; ? |
look at function MainMenuAttract() and it should work with textured
Find it, thanks!
Cevy, when i sent you my skin for your Cevydash, can you show does it looks and post pics? Have no Time at Weekend to bye a new TV !

For the heck of it ive redone the patch still the same prob
I was laughing at your relegation to this forum, Nothing meant. Glad to see your still going. Yes I have started some neXgen stuff (at last) the recent advances in the rendering will help alot.

EDIT: Might be something with skin.xip or the linking in the dash xaps.
Copy your Game_hilite_01 and outline to the default.xap and the white tabs are gone!
| QUOTE |
| Copy your Game_hilite_01 and outline to the default.xap and the white tabs are gone! |
will it still show the icons and not freeze after that? cause after the white tabs and no icons in the orb it freezes after 15 minutes.
EDIT: the Game_hilite_01 and outline to the default.xap worked to eliminate the white tabs (thanks darkzone) but the dash still froze after 15 minutes, also the texture on the rotating X just turns white, the control panel loses the icons for stop, forward etc.. and the hardrivebg wont work also. If I reboot it works fine again until I go into the memory manager again.
ok guys if you are gonna ignore all of my posts lol then i'll just make another post.
everyone i am new to chevydash, i would like it to look exactly like it does at the top of this page, the background, skin and everything, that pic that chevy posted. can someone tell me what files i need and what i need to do to get it up and running please. i currently have thc original blue on my c drive so could someone give me a quick run thorugh of what i need and what i need to delete etc. i have the ftp server written down somewhere. just need help setting up please. thanks, help much appreciated.
keep up the good work chevy!
total_ass just download TexturedAug24.rar off of chevy's server. Delete your old thc blue and install chevy's dash. Then to change backgrounds go to the customization menu and change the starting background to whatever is in the pic. You'll have to use trial and error (i dont know the exact background number, there are only 3 so it shouldnt be too hard). Then your all done.
The white tabs gone. excellent find man!!

thank you coltxL2717, you are the first person to reply to my posts in this topic.
ok im taking off tHc, there is a folder called xboxdashdata.1012A700. is this part of tHc or a system folder because i don't remember putting it on when i installed tHc.
Total_ass: Yea, your cool man. In thc original that folder is called tHc_Dash_v1B.10027100. Its just the folder with all of the dash info basically. So just install the folder xboxdashdata.1012A700 into the root of C:. Then your all set.
Have fun!
| QUOTE (SSChevy2001 @ Aug 25 2004, 12:22 AM) |
That's what untextured is for! It takes alot of time texturing the dash I know I was the first. As far a a tutorial for skinning you just need to know this metal is the main texture, metalcolor is the tubes and keys on keyboard, metalbright is the 2 top controlpanel panels, Black is just a transparent backing, and the rest well you know what that is. I did change the orbs to use CellEgg/Parts instead of menucell. Now that should be all you need to know for the skinning of textured. |
you got an untextured dash too?
anyway i can get that from you?
if not, i could go through the xaps u used.. thanks

my thc original dash uses this folder: xboxdashdata.10027100 ... n tHc Lite uses tHcdata if i'm not mistaken
where is the credits of the System Panel located? , i want to remove them to only have HD size , # of Apps,games, emu ect. and Bios

Allright it's finally lunch time. I check out the problem for the skin.xap in the morning and I think I can fix it. It seems to been a problem because skin.xap only load once. Maybe if I add one or two more instances it will fix the problem.
Thanks coltxL2717 for helping out that's really cool I only wish I had more time other wise I would.
Yes it on my ftp site just look for UntexturedAug23.rar. |

got it here too..
but i put in a harddrivebg.xbx on the skin.xip but didnt see a change. the X logo was still there
ms dash hacking really is just a shared hobby a bit like if we all went fishing together.
gas
LOL! I like to fish.
chevy need some help (good to see your back)
scrolling pic ? yes or no
is there a way to do this in my info panel (for avatar)
i have three xbxs on the skin xip.. Background 1,2 n 3.... thats how much it says on default.xip/xap

i think same thing hapens on textured..it loads first pic, but not second
also, how about adding in Configuration Mode an option to have the 5th tab on or off.... imo, i think it looks better with 4 tabs.only, but thats just me
Also, on untexture, under Harddrive, games etc, doesnt show how much space its left on F drive just E
i have the latest textured , and it haves two images but one is black , i think i like it , you can see the dash more clear than ever.
Okay, maybe this is turning into a slight obsesion but I downloaded chevy's latest update textured 24th. Anyways I have done nothing with the dash but install it on my hard drive and still if I hit (Y) no system panel comes in? what am I doing wrong??

Yes you did, but I think JBOnE is right it's a crazy name I would of rather called it Dan's Dash. What do you think?

call it 'Super Fluffy Fun Time Dash VIII: The Shiny Town Series' so the Japanese will use it
yes, i'm in a silly mood today

edit: spelling
Man, I just dont know what I am doing to make that little feature not work LOL
I erased everything off the C drive all but the Fonts directory and Audio directory.
I then redownloaded TexturedAug24 and unpacked it and placed it on the C drive. Dash starts up fine. Hit Y and my hard drive lite blinks once and then nothing1 Bah. LOL I think I need my medication.

wow! thats beautiful chevy! Is this on ur ftp?
oh, and you have good taste in music too
you got untextured of this new update?
also, looking forward for the option to turn on/off the 5th tab..
yeah , got your latest one , i love it.
810fr34k i was getting that bug on the older ones but not on the latest one.
You got the seetings menu to work? Finally!!! This is the only reason why i havent been using your mod. Great work Chevy!

Here is a new screenshot of the textured dash I wanted to have more finished, but this is all for now. Using any xip other than the default.xip has problems for holding main xbx's. A fix means having to change the main xbe to allow another spot to look for xbx's other that default.xip. So this update doesn't use the skin.xip even though I left it. Maybe a cool autochanging system could be designed that changes everything to match the current background.
sep6.rar Updates
4 Visual Settings for CP and FullScreen ( LTrigger + X )
Settings Menu working
ExtraPanels all have CP
CP Redone
Panels Moved
MetalBright Texture Removed
Most of the menus now have volume, quicklaunch, and background change functions.
This still uses the same folder names so for easy just use the find and replace functions on thc.data data file. Sorry untextured fans just to much time spent trying to fix the skin.xip problem.


i tryed removing the 5th tab.. but got error 21..
Look at these MOD called EXOR !




an tribute to Cevydash!
the sep 6 is too buggy.
1. It doesnt save the Sub Menu Contents , if i choose to only have 5 subs after reboot it goes back to 6 , if i change the content to games , after reboot it changes back to reboot option instead of games.
2. On System Panel the lame My Games , My Applications , ect. still show even if i edited the names and contents shows all 0.
3. I dont like the Hard Drive style.
need to fix some stuff now..like putting texture back on panels. but its fixed with the orbs

also need to fix the clock panel..lol.. i cant see the time/date clearly
btw, nice dash Darkzone
edit:
ok i got everything fixed, well almost, i just need to fix these orbs.. everything else its textured n all except for these part, want to make the orbs like the top picture

I know its on default.xap of musicplayedit2.xip..i have tryed changing it like i did with the other xaps, put when i go to one of my soundtracks the music panel dont show.
hello
Dont let this die.
somebody PM me on the whereabouts of this dash, please. Thank you.
why did this die?
if anyone knows then please post, i just wanna know.
