Random Background Options

[Tru@ce]

Hi , credits to Outworld1 for this small code;

In default.xip/default.xap;

look for;

CODE

DEF myBackgroundList Group

and make it look like this;

CODE

DEF myBackgroundList Group
{

children
[
    DEF background0 Background{ skyColor 0 0 0 backdrop ImageTexture { url "background.xbx" }}
    DEF background1 Background{ skyColor 0 0 0 backdrop ImageTexture { url "background1.xbx" }}
    DEF background2 Background{ skyColor 0 0 0 backdrop ImageTexture { url "background2.xbx" }}
    DEF background3 Background{ skyColor 0 0 0 backdrop ImageTexture { url "background3.xbx" }}
    DEF background4 Background{ skyColor 0 0 0 backdrop ImageTexture { url "background4.xbx" }}
]
}

function loadBackground() {
var n = Math.round(Math.random() * (myBackgroundList.children.length() - 1));
myBackgroundList.children[n].isBound = true;  
}

then search for;

CODE

var currentTrack;

and paste this below;

CODE

var BeginUpdate;

then go to;

CODE

function UpdateMainMenu()
{
   if( m_nbuttons == 4 ) { Update4ButtonMainMenu(); }
   else  { Update3ButtonMainMenu(); }
}

and replace the function with this;

CODE

function setBeginUpdate()
{  
BeginUpdate = 1;
}

function UpdateMainMenu()
{      
 if (BeginUpdate == 1 )
 {
     loadBackground();
     BeginUpdate = 0;                
 }
 {
   if( m_nbuttons == 4 ) { Update4ButtonMainMenu(); }
  else  { Update3ButtonMainMenu(); }
 }
}

search for;

CODE

function OnYDown()

(or another)

and put this code in it;

CODE

      function OnYDown()
{
  setBeginUpdate();
  UpdateMainMenu();
}

Ciao

You should post how to make it so it will work with 03 and not just your skins' xips.

has anyone revified that the coding works properly? i tried myself, and the only results i get are the colors always showing the first background image that i have.

and another reason i ask is because, the part that says:

In default.xip/default.xap;

look for;

CODE

DEF myBackgroundList Group

i could not find it. i was working off a fresh copy of user interface x. i looked and looked, and then realizaed by reading through old post for thc, that that specific code that you request us to look for is a code replaced from the original

CODE

DEF theBackground Background
