Pxhddloader Script
« on: April 19, 2004, 03:27:00 AM »
Hi guys, I'am using the pxhddloader script that converts the folder names to the actual game names and have come up with a slight hitch.
It renamed most of my games but not all, is there a text limit in the file that will only rename so many characters?
It couldnt rename Dues Ex Invisible Wars or Need For Speed Underground among a few.
I'am using the V2 file so maybe theres a newer one out there somewhere?
Thanks for any help given smile.gif

Can I see a copy of the script (or bunch of lines) causing this?

Do I have to edit anything here or will the one FlattSpott wrote down be ok to use?
Not sure if its any different to what I'am using but will fire it up later on tonight.
If neither are ok is there a plan C ????
Thanks everyone so far for your help.

Ohh..and before I forget, is there a way to make this autorun so when a new game folder is added to the pxhddloader folder it automatically renames it to the games name or do I have to do it manually everytime?

You might try and use the replace function to replace the ":" with ""

It should... I'm not sure why it wouldn't work for him.


It could be that he needs to specify the replacement character:

SETFUNC Temp FatXify %GameTitle% ""
Set GoodTitle %Temp%

Hi guys,
Still not working, this is how it looks now, I tried adding the """" straight after the %gametitle% and then again with a space to see if that would work and it didnt.
The : I was talking about isnt in the script, its in the title of the games name so for some reason this script wont recognise the puncuation and wont change the game folder name because it doesnt understand what the character is.
The error message I get is ERROR (line 1):(callfile)"ActionScript file failed execution" if that helps. All the other game folders renamed ok and this is the only thing the ones that didnt have in common.
Has anyone else had this problem with NFS Underground, Dues Ex Invisible Wars and Spawn Armageddon?
Anyway guys see what you think and let me know if its fixable.
Thanks for your time and help and Ben shouldnt you be working on the new mxm dash smile.gif

Well I don't use HDDLoader myself. Maybe later though, I'll make a mock directory and manually edit an XBE to have a : and see if i can get it to work.

Thanks mate, really appreciate it...I dont think many people do use hddloader anymore so I might have to start using dvd2xbox like everyome else.
It would be good to get the 4 game folders renamed though, I hate the px folder name sad.gif
