New Info Panel Options

[shank-]

this is an info panel i came up with, i felt the others crouded the screen too much having info and clock seperate.
full credit goes out to the original creators of the info panels, i just copy and pasted most of there code.

music
disc type
ip address
disc space
cpu temp

paste at the very bottom of default.xip/default.xap

CODE

function DriveSpace( sDrive )
{
var nFreeSpace = theHardDrive.GetFreeSpace(sDrive + "\\");
     var nTotalSpace = theHardDrive.GetTotalSpace(sDrive + "\\");
if (nTotalSpace == 0) { return ""; }
return nFreeSpace + "MB";
}

function ChangeDisplay()
{

var coverpath;
var exists;
var albumtext = "";
var songtext = "";
var drive = "";
var c = theMainMenu.children[0].children[0];

var nMaxDisplay = 6;
if (nDisplayNum > nMaxDisplay) { nDisplayNum = 1; }
if (nDisplayNum < 1) { nDisplayNum = nMaxDisplay; }
var nIntTemp = theConfig.GetInternalTemp();
var nCPUTemp = theConfig.GetCPUTemp();
var sScale = "C";
var e = "";


 if( e == "fahrenheit" )
 {
     sScale = "F";
            nIntTemp = Math.round(nIntTemp * 9/5 + 32);
            nCPUTemp = Math.round(nCPUTemp * 9/5 + 32);
 }
 else if( e == "kelvin" )
 {
     sScale = "K";
            nIntTemp = nIntTemp + 273;
            nCPUTemp = nCPUTemp + 273;
 }

if (nDisplayNum == 1)
{
   albumtext = theMusicCollection.GetSoundtrackName(currentAlbum);
   songtext = theMusicCollection.GetSoundtrackSongName(currentAlbum, currentTrack);
   coverpath = "A:\\album covers\\" + albumtext + ".jpg";
   exists = theHardDrive.FileExists( coverpath );

   if( exists == true )
   {
   c.theScreenAlbumArt.url = coverpath;
   }
   else
   {
   c.theScreenAlbumArt.url = "A:\\album covers\\dvdempty.xbx";
   }
   }

else if (nDisplayNum == 2)
{
   albumtext = "Disc Type:";
   songtext = theDiscDrive.discType;

   if( theDiscDrive.discType == "Video" )
   {
   c.theScreenAlbumArt.url = "A:\\album covers\\dvdvideo.xbx";
   }

   else if(theDiscDrive.discType == "Title")
   {
   c.theScreenAlbumArt.url = "A:\\album covers\\dvdtitle.xbx";
   }

   else if(theDiscDrive.discType == "none")
   {
   c.theScreenAlbumArt.url = "A:\\album covers\\dvdempty.xbx";
   }

   else if(theDiscDrive.discType == "Audio")
   {
   c.theScreenAlbumArt.url = "A:\\album covers\\dvdaudio.xbx";
   }

   else if(theDiscDrive.discType == "unknown")
   {
   c.theScreenAlbumArt.url = "A:\\album covers\\dvdunknown.xbx";
   }
}

else if (nDisplayNum == 3)
{
   albumtext = "IP Address:";
   songtext = theXboxNetwork.GetXboxIP();
   c.theScreenAlbumArt.url = "A:\\album covers\\ipaddy.xbx";
}

else if (nDisplayNum == 4)
{
   drive = "F:";
   albumtext = "Free Space On F:";
   songtext = DriveSpace(drive);
   c.theScreenAlbumArt.url = "A:\\album covers\\harddisc.xbx";
}

//else if (nDisplayNum == 5)
//{
//    drive = "G:";
//    albumtext = "Free Space On G:";
//    songtext = DriveSpace(drive);
//    c.theScreenAlbumArt.url = "A:\\album covers\\dvdempty.xbx";
//}

else if (nDisplayNum == 5)
{
   albumtext = "CPU Temp:";
   songtext = nIntTemp + " " + sScale;
   c.theScreenAlbumArt.url = "A:\\album covers\\info.xbx";
}

else if (nDisplayNum == 6)
{
   albumtext = "MB Temp:";
   songtext = nCPUTemp + " " + sScale;
   c.theScreenAlbumArt.url = "A:\\album covers\\info.xbx";
}

c.theSoundtrackSongInfoText.text = songtext;
c.theSoundtrackAlbumInfoText.text = albumtext;

}

Then find:

CODE

function MusicPlayerPlay()
{
theMusicPlayer.url = "st:" + theMusicCollection.GetSoundtrackSongID( currentAlbum, currentTrack );
log("Playing " + theMusicPlayer.url);
DisableAmbientAudio();
theMusicPlayer.Play();
}

and add another line so it looks like this:

CODE

function MusicPlayerPlay()
{
theMusicPlayer.url = "st:" + theMusicCollection.GetSoundtrackSongID( currentAlbum, currentTrack );
log("Playing " + theMusicPlayer.url);
DisableAmbientAudio();
theMusicPlayer.Play();
if (nDisplayNum == 1) { ChangeDisplay(); }
}

next find

CODE

var currentAlbum;
var currentTrack;

and put this under:

CODE

var nDisplayNum;

scroll down a few lines to find:

CODE

currentAlbum = 0;
currentTrack = 0;

and add this right after:

CODE

nDisplayNum = 1;

now find:

CODE

 control DEF theMainMenuJoy Joystick
 {

and put this after that slash

CODE

function OnLeftThumbDown()
{
         PlaySoundB();
  nDisplayNum = nDisplayNum + 1;
  ChangeDisplay();
}

     function OnRightThumbDown()
{
         PlaySoundB();
  nDisplayNum = nDisplayNum - 1;
  ChangeDisplay();
}

another thing i like to use is this:

CODE

function OnYDown()
     {

      var c = theMainMenu.children[0].children[0];
      if ( c.theMainMenuClock.visible == true )
      {
       if (nDisplayNum == 1)
       {
        MusicPlayerRandom();
       }
       else if (nDisplayNum == 2)
       {
        AutoLaunch();
       }
      }
      else
      {}

     }            

that code will alow you to change track when in music panel and launch disc when in disc type by pressing the Y button

now open main_menu.xip/default.xap and paste this at the very bottom

CODE

       {
       visible true
       fade 0.75
           children

you also need to copy these files from the memory.xip file and paste them into main_menu.xip

MEM_L1_panel_meta-FACES.xm
MEM_L1_panel_metasupport-FACES.xm
MU_panel_backing-FACES.xm

now you need to use files from comm build and paste them in the album covers directory. the files needed are:

dvdaudio.xbx
dvdempty.xbx
dvdtitle.xbx
dvdunknown.xbx
dvdvideo.xbx

others are custom files but you can just copy and rename dvdempty.xbx to:

harddisc.xbx
info.xbx
ipaddy.xbx

and thats SHOULD be it

good luck

[shank-]

its seems it wont let imageshack host
you will have to take away the dash's from imageshack to view files..

[coltxL2717]

That's some nice code there man. I especially like the fact that you included album art. That's good shit.

[ih8ny4ever]

im sorry but for some reason every time i press the right analog it restarts and if i press the leht it says no disk and if i press it again it resarts. can someone help. is it posiple that it could be that i dont have these. i dont know where to get them dvdaudio.xbx
dvdempty.xbx
dvdtitle.xbx
dvdunknown.xbx
dvdvideo.xbx

[neovash]

they are in the Commemorative Build

[slick50zd]

wow great job man i give you props

[motox88]

would it be possible to post up the screen shots again?

[Little-G]

screen shots work fine remove the '-' from before and after 'imageshack'

[Little-G]

in an attempt to resolve the non displaying ip adress, cpu temp and free disk space i modified the code

i changed

CODE

function OnLeftThumbDown()
{
         PlaySoundB();
  nDisplayNum = nDisplayNum + 1;
  ChangeDisplay();

to

CODE

function OnLeftThumbDown()
{
         PlaySoundB();
  TogglenDisplayNum();
  ChangeDisplay();

and added

CODE

function TogglenDisplayNum
}
var c = theMainMenu.children[0].children[0];
if (b.toLowerCase() == "1") { RefreshMenu("2"); }
else if (b.toLowerCase() == "2") { RefreshMenu("3"); }
else if (b.toLowerCase() == "3") { RefreshMenu("4"); }
else if (b.toLowerCase() == "5") { RefreshMenu("6"); }
else if (b.toLowerCase() == "6") { RefreshMenu("1"); }
{

to the bottom of default .xap

does this code belong in config.xap/main menu.xip, or is it flawed? can someone with experience of uix code tell me?

[Little-G]

why is no one willing to spend a minute or two to help? im sure someone can help me

[t1x2irc2]

i really haven't look through the whole code

but my guess would be

you want default.xip/config.xap

or

default.xip/default.xap


let me know if that works 4 ya

[shank-]

non displaying ip adress, cpu temp and free disk space ?

if u r talking about the images i can post them if you would like...
also while im here...

[Little-G]

how are you selecting those? i have the same issue as ih8ny4ever it reboots after pressing left thumb twice

[Dazza]

It should not be too difficult to get this working....

The code states that you need to create these 3 files

harddisc.xbx
info.xbx
ipaddy.xbx

Have you done that?

Mine would not work so I went through and commented out all of the references to a:/ and that fixed it.

[shank-]

extract these into album covers folder and everything should be sweet
info icons
i should have posted them at the start
please post resaults. its been a while
