Help With Adding Orbs Options

[blckwdw1986]

I downloaded the orb pack and read the "directions" but didn't help much , I have tried editing the default.xip to add the orb but after i added it to my xbox, it would not boot . Any 1 who can help, please and thank you . btw i saw some pics of the orbs and they kick ass! Thanks in advance!

CODE

1.  Rename the orb of your choice to "OrbCell-FACES.xm"

2.  For best results, open mainmenu.xip with Winxip, then edit the very bottom of default.xap with notepad or simlar to look like this:

......................................................

I've used the world orbcell and all work fine.....

@thaswiftness

remember:

ensure to add into skin directory the orbcellwall.xbx file of texture for orbcell indicated into Gasclown code:

CODE

texture ImageTexture
      {
         alpha true
         url "orbcellwall.xbx"
      }

P.S.
I've on my dash also the info panel and the date panel.

not sure what you mean
sorry new to this

[vinney]

I got it to work!!! one problem, gasclown, the globe i downloaded from allxboxskins.com is white... like the continents. i was wondering if there was a way to change it or if i could get yours form you? Thanks, This is awesome...

[Whatup1049]

Tried this didnt work. Followed directions to a T. No errors or anything all I got was teh same orb and it all looked the same .

[midas]

vinney - the Material ID in the code is probably set wrong. You could try changing the InnerWall_01 to MenuCell. I had this problem when i first tried to put in the globe, but after i got it working MAN does it look sweet!

others - you guys are doing something wrong - make sure you inject the globe.xm into MAINMENU.XIP AFTER YOU RENAME IT OrbCell-FACES.xm mind the capitalization!

PS - Check out my results with the Globe.
