Hey guys, I'm gunna apoligize in advance for any negativity that comes from this post, I just feel compelled to speak my mind. First of all im a rock solid Unleash X fan, although im open minded and im thinkin hey mxm sounds pretty sweet, especially with koldfuzions extreme voltage skin (good job man), so i install it as an alternative dash and set up a basic menu, (I really like the matrix init screen, well done) and now im lookin into all these action scripts and all the trouble you go through for a script that dont even work. I would just like to say that Unleash X does all that sh*t and more straight out of the box, and i cant help thinking "Hey if you want all that shit to work just use unleash x" It is as simple as that. Dont get me wrong im not trying to dis the dash, all im sayin is if you want all that sh*t to work just load up Unleash X.

| QUOTE | | action scripting in MXM is becoming so powerful it's not even funny |
That is so true! More power than most people need or want and it's so easy to get something screwed up. When all your friends are hacking their Xbox2's, you'll finally be able to auto-install a script. Look forward to those auto-installed scripts not playing well with each other unless some rigid guidelines for scripting are set into place. Also, when Xbox3 comes out and another release of MXM is made, look forward to some of your scripts not working anymore. The scene owes major props to BenJeremy for opening his source and implementing ActionScripting. ActionScripting is off-the-chain, but it's getting out of hand when the majority of the dashboards features and usefulness is scripted. It is a terribly convoluted and indirect approach. MXM and ActionScript are great works by BenJeremy and show the man has uber-skills, but the design seems flawed if it is aimed at the masses. MXM is like Linux on the home desktop. Only for enthusiasts. There's too much hassle and learning required in order to leverage it's power. I'd rather have something that rocks-out-of-the-box than something that is off-the-chain  Offended? Read my name. |

Offended? No, why would I be? That is after all, your own opinion, which you are entitled to.
However, there's no complexity in using an action script on the user's side of things. What you are trying to say is like, all users must learn how to skin, so they can create their own skins, if they want to do so, great, good for them, but that's not what action scripting is about... I reckon in the future, all 'official' action scripts will be zipped (zsm files), all the user needs to do is put those files in a folder called 'Scripts' (or is it plugins, I forget), reboot MXM and viola, script is installed and working, I hardly see that as a challenge, even for the most technically inclined users around.
But hey, keep your opinions and your shitty dashboards, fuck if I care what the fuck you use. Offended? Good, well I don't give a shit.

I'm (somewhat) new to this MXM thing (though I did read the fucking manuals so I don't come off like a jackass like that guy up there), but after having tried UX... I'd have to go with the opinion "UnleashX sucks goat testicles."
Thank you and have a nice day.

Ok, no bashing of the aforementioned dashboard or any other dashboards which may or may not suck goat testicles.
Got it.

wait a tick... I just realized I've never used UX and was referring to a different program anyway, damn. 2 Asshole Points for SuperDoop. Sorry guys (and in the rare event any ladies read this, you too.) Apparently reading the manuals failed to make me not come off like a jackass...  |

Well if you hadnt noticed they are the only type of posts you get now , you are all EXACTLY like the Amiga diehards in the early 90s who refused to accept "The PC" and still to this day play rick dangerous without realising that the rest of the world moved on. Your non-public versions you can W"$k off to as much as you want but fact of the matter is most peeps have now realised there is no support for the "General" mxm user and have moved on. The only posts you get these days are the ones you have to delete as you will with this you know as much as I do that the WIP is NOT the bees knees . Xbox 3 will be here before a public release of MXM and Unleash X offers all & for all now unfortunate that something that was sooooo good at the start had to end this way. In the words of the song.... Guess its over call it a day , sorry that it had to end this wayyyyyyy  |
