Not too much. Glad to see you are still working on this. By far my fav skin for XBOX. \m/

[NOTTHESAME]

[aden34]

i wonder if this is too much...

i love this look. would you mind uploading it? i like that little snap feature you have going

also you think it's possible to be able to snap games? I feel like it wouldn't but worth a shot asking haah

[NOTTHESAME]

When will you release the next version?

[tim619]

would be awesome seeing an upload of this skin doesnt matter if its a testing release just want to use it

[fxmech]

Not long ago i was railing on NXE in one of your skin threads. I'd like to retract that dissent and encourage you to dump your laptop drive contents and work on a release.

Thanks

i wonder if this is too much...

Definiteley not too much would love to have the script at least if you're not ready to release the skin still using your twist and adding in the game views now

I've created a script to read the info from an xml file; no this will not scraped from any site, you will have to create this yourself if you want this to be available... I've used information from http://www.teamxbox.com.

For this to work, you will need to create a folder labeled "_default" inside your game's folder; inside this folder you would also need a two additional folders: 1) gallery 2) extras; at the root of the "_default" folder you would need to have an xml file labeled "default.xml":

So, the layout would look something like:

GAME_FOLDER
_DEFAULT
GALLERY
EXTRAS
default.xml
icon.jpg
trailer.avi

The default.xml structure is as follows:

Code: Select all

<game>
	<platform>xbox</platform>
	<title>Battlefield 2: Modern Warfare</title>
	<publisher>Electronic Arts</publisher>
	<developer>Digital Illusion</developer>
	<genre>First Person Shooter</genre>
	<esrb>T</esrb>
	<esrb_descriptors>Language/Violence</esrb_descriptors>
	<features_general>Offline Players: 1/Dolby 5.1 Surround</features_general>
	<features_online>Multiplayer: 1-40/Content Download</features_online>
	<rating>8.5</rating>
	<exclusive>No</exclusive>
	<trailer>trailer.mp4</trailer>
	<released>12/12/2005</released>
	<description>The award-winning Battlefield franchise explodes onto the Xbox, dropping players into the heat of battle with Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. The game brings the over-the-top action and excitement of the Battlefield series into the modern era with a bleeding-edge arsenal of vehicles and weaponry allowing for the most extreme "Battlefield Moments" yet. Battlefield 2: Modern Combat features a propaganda-fuelled single player campaign where gamers play both sides of a conflict in one of the most treacherous regions in the world – Kazakhstan. Gamers will plunge headlong into the fog of war and must ultimately choose sides in a furious showdown where nothing is as it seems </description>

You will also need to include an "icon.jpg" in the root of the "_default" folder to be shown under the overview section; the dimensions are that of widescreen, I use "256x144" but you can use whatever you want.

Also, the main trailer will have to be in the root of the "_default" folder to be played correctly.

The gallery folder will include all of the screenshots you want to display and it does not matter what you name them.

The xtras is intended for additional videos you may want to have; things like walkthroughs, gameplay, reviews, etc.

That's it for now... more info to come; of course this does not need to be used by anyone but I thought I'd give a heads up

Suggestions are welcomed!

Hey Dom Ive got a couple ready to try out I just need the script can you post it for us please?

Also and just an idea how about when you open games folder and for example press Y on a game it gives you the game info screen?
Or give the game info screen as default and use L+R to scroll through them

Would try to do it myself but don't have a clue where to start

[NOTTHESAME]

dom i cant use background/fanart when i go into options were you not done in that skin settings area? i would like to have some thing in the background but in the skin settings i cant move left to the background settings?

[Dom DXecutioner]

When will you release the next version?

probably in a couple of weeks... tho it will now be named "XBox Extended" or something like that

Definiteley not too much would love to have the script at least if you're not ready to release the skin still using your twist and adding in the game views now

I would give out the script but I made some changes and broke it... have not given myself the time to fix it properly; even if it would be working properly, you would still need to build a window xml to match the skin you'd be using it in.
