I am trying to add an entry to the "Game Options" menu.

Here is my mxm.xml:

CODE

<Config> <Main> <DiscTitle>Media X Menu</DiscTitle> <DiscSubtitle> </DiscSubtitle> </Main> <scripts> <ActionScript name="AutoExec"> TRAYCLOSE </ActionScript> <ActionScript name="TestScript"> xmlopen myxml %_GameDir%MXM_Entry.xml XMLSetValue myxml !.item.descr %_GameDesc% XMLSetValue myxml !.item.description %_GameDesc% XMLSetValue myxml !.item.dir %_GameDir% XMLSetValue myxml !.item.exe %_GameExe% XMLSetValue myxml !.item.title %_GameTitle% XMLSetValue myxml !.item.thumbnail %_GameThumbnail% XMLSetValue myxml !.item.xbeid %_GameXBEID% XMLSetValue myxml !.item.verified %_GameVerified% XMLSetValue myxml !.item.media %_GameMedia% XMLSave myxml %_GameDir%MXM_Entry.xml ResetMenuCache Reboot </ActionScript> </Scripts> <Context> <Item Name="Testing">  <Action>CallScript TestScript</Action> </Item> </Context> </Config>

But nothing ever shows up on the Game Options menu. What did I do wrong?

Morden.

The best form is probably the one like:

CODE

<Item Name="Delete Game"> <Mode>HD</Mode> <script>_DeleteApp</Script> </Item>

where the script is simply named....

I thought there might have been an issue with not using the <Mode> tag, but that's not the case.

Tried both those changes, reset the cache and rebooted, still not there when I go to "Game Options" with a game on the HD selected..... HMMMMM

Tried with this:

CODE

<Context> <Item Name="Testing">  <Mode>HD</Mode> <script>TestScript</Script> </Item> </Context>

Nothing at ALL shows up? Not even the ones defined in Internal.xml?

CODE

<Context> <Item Name="About"> <Mode>DVD</Mode> <script>_DisplayGameInfoDVD</Script> </Item> <Item Name="About"> <Mode>HD</Mode> <script>_DisplayGameInfo</Script> </Item> <XItem Name="Install from DVD"> <Mode>DVD</Mode> <script>_InstallDVDApp</Script> </XItem> <XItem Name="Delete Game"> <Mode>HD</Mode> <script>_DeleteApp</Script> </XItem> <XItem Name="Clear Game Saves"> <script>_ClearGameSaves</Script> </XItem> </Context>

Sorry, the about shows up, but the ones I add to mxm.xml don't.

Morden.

Yeah... I'm looking into it at the moment.

I just tested it - same results for me

Ok, well thanks for checking it out!

Guess well just have to wait before using this.

Morden.

OK... figured out what is happening.

Downside is, you'll need to add three "dummy" context items before yours will show up.

This will be fixed in the next release (I forgot to reset an important index while scanning for context items - it gets the internal.xml items, then the mxm.xml items, but the index counter, set at "3" after getting the internal.xml items, is not reset, and it attempts to get the FOURTH item in the mxm.xml's context node.

Excellent!

At least we have a workaround! Thanks BJ!
