Hi All,
I'm still working on the xloader. While I was working on this I thought of something that would be a really great script for the average user. I understand that the features of the new release will probably include the ability to pull these off of the internet. But until then, I thought, I would include with my installer some folders full of (help screens, Thumbnails, Preview Videos ans such). Now, what I thought might be really cool, is a simple script that they could run when ever they copy a new game down to the harddrive. When they run it, it would automatically go copy the correct media files for that game/app from the media folder into the game/app folder. I guess there are a number of ways that this could be done. I was thinking of using the xbeid? then either name the files with that number, or put those files into folders that match the xbeid. or even perhaps have a little data file that related which media files goto which xbeids. I think the simplest way would probably be to have folders named after the xbeid. So you could have a structure like...
F:\MXM_Media\
F:\MXM_Media\{XBEID}\
F:\MXM_Media\{XBEID}\MXM_SS.wmv
F:\MXM_Media\{XBEID}\MXM_Thumb.jpg
F:\MXM_Media\{XBEID}\MXM_GH01.jpg
Anyway, just an idea... I would love to write it myself but Im just so busy with doing the other X-Loader scripts and other projects. I just can't spare the time for now...
