.....help From Tha Coding Gods!, custom config panel Options

[motofo]

Was wondering if it is possible to edit an .ini file in the root of the E partition from a config panel?
Heres my idea, just dont know where to start or if possible.
Make a seperate config panel that would edit the x2config.ini on the root of the E drive. We would then have customizable bios from within the dash

var X2Ini = new Settings;
X2Ini.file = "e:\\x2config.ini";
X2Ini.SetValue( "flubberAnimationNumber", "2" );

that'll allow you to write a setting to the ini no problem. i wouldn't sweat it though - it's already in the works as i'm working with team xecuter to make the ani even more configurable as well as let you use custom .x meshes

After reading Jbones reply it dawned on me.......make the x2 config skin specific!
So in default.xip/skin.xap
look for function DoAction()
and paste this function under it

CODE

function ConfigX2()
{
   if(theHardDrive.FileExists( "A:\\skins\\" + SkinMenuList[skinSelect] + "\\x2config.ini" ) == true)
   {
       theHardDrive.DeleteThisFile( "e:\\x2config.ini" );
       theHardDrive.CopyThisFile( "A:\\skins\\" + SkinMenuList[skinSelect] + "\\x2config.ini", "e:\\x2config.ini" );
   }
}

then scroll down to function OnADown()
and make it look like this

CODE

function OnADown()
       {
                       ConfigX2();
                       DoAction();
       }

Then just setup a x2config.ini to match your skin and put it in that skins folder!
When you choose a skin that has a x2config.ini it will change it!
NOW my ani matches my skin

Ohhhh yeah....for tha noobs...YOU MUST BE USING Xecuter2 5022 bios
