NOOO!!! Knowledge is power. If you give them too much knowledge, how will you control them. We must keep them ignorant and weak willed. We shall rule FOREVER!!

Try this:

default.xip/default.xap

CODE

Then search for:

CODE

c.SubmenuText1.text = SubMenuItem1;
c.SubmenuText2.text = SubMenuItem2;
c.SubmenuText3.text = SubMenuItem3;
c.SubmenuText4.text = SubMenuItem4;

And make it look like:

CODE

c.SubmenuText1.text = SubMenuItem1;
c.SubmenuText2.text = SubMenuItem2;
c.SubmenuText3.text = SubMenuItem3;
c.SubmenuText4.text = SubMenuItem4;
c.SubmenuText5.text = "XBMC";

Then in the

CODE

function OnMoveDown()

change

CODE

if (nCurMainMenuItem < 3)

to:

CODE

if (nCurMainMenuItem < 4)

And Link it in the

CODE

function OnADown()

With:

CODE

else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4)
{
gamelaunch = true;
launchXbe = "default.xbe";
launchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition6\\XBMC";
theLaunchGameLevel.GoTo();
}

mainmenu5.xip/default.xap

the dash just boots up fine no error or something, but i dont have 5 buttons??
can somebody sent me his default.xip/default.xap and mainmenu5.xip/default.xap please.

Apr 21 2004, 02:17 PM

thanks for posting that Gcue, i'm bad at making tutorials...

anyway, it probably wouldn't be too hard to make a configurable option in config.xbx to toggle 5 menu mode and to set the name and action of menu 5... that's my next project.

i'll post the source here when i complete it.

fucking curse , doesnt work here , i get empty tabs!! and the XBMC tab way hidden at the back of the orb.

ok on:

right above this code:

you mean add the code on top of that or replace the code that is on top of that?

and where do i put that code , you didnt say where ,right under function OnADown() or under some code under it? , replace everything under it with it?

@Gcue,

I also edit the mainmenu5.xip/default.xap and default.xip/default.xap how you explained. The 5th tab is working correctly (I edit it to startup Evox for FTP) but it's not visible

also when I standing on the 5th invisible tab, the 1 tab (.: MEMORY:.) also disapear...

I can't understand what I did wrong. Can you help me out?

I'm using tHc LITE 1.2 Blue

is it really that hard to guess??

you put

CODE

else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4)
{
gamelaunch = true;
launchXbe = "default.xbe";
launchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition6\\XBMC";
theLaunchGameLevel.GoTo();
}

in the function "function OnADown()" after all of the other "else if" statements.

it's not too hard to figure out what is going on in this function... it determines what the current menu item (nCurMainMenuItem) is. When it's 0 it will open the memory menu, if it's 1 it will open the music menu, if it's 2 it will open the hard drive menu, etc...

this tells it what to do when menu 4 is selected.

here's what it should look like:

CODE

if (nCurMainMenuItem == 0)
{
theGamesMenuIn.Play();
GoToMusicPlayWithSubs();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 1)
{
theGamesMenuIn.Play();
GoToMemory();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 2)
{
theMusicMenuIn.Play();
GoToMusic();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 3)
{
theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
GoToSettings();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4)
{
gamelaunch = true;
launchXbe = "default.xbe";
launchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition6\\XBMC";
theLaunchGameLevel.GoTo();
}

or you could do what i did and make it look like this:

CODE

if (nCurMainMenuItem == 0)
{
theGamesMenuIn.Play();
GoToMusicPlayWithSubs();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 1)
{
theGamesMenuIn.Play();
GoToMemory();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 2)
{
theMusicMenuIn.Play();
GoToMusic();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 3)
{
theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
GoToSettings();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4)
{
QuickLaunch("Menu5");
}

then open up config.xbx and add the following line anywhere you want (just as long as it is it's own line and you don't change anything before the '=' sign)

CODE

Quick Launch Menu5=F:\\Apps\\XBMC\\default.xbe

you can then set that to whatever you want menu 5 to launch to.

cypher35

Apr 21 2004, 06:00 PM

while we're on the subject of making things easily configurable, let's make the menu name editable from config.xbx also...

first off, add the line

CODE

Menu5 Text=.:MENU 5:.

under the other menu name configurations in config.xbx

go to:

CODE

var SubMenuItem4;

and add

CODE

var SubMenuItem5;

then go to this function:

CODE

function GetSubmenuText()
{
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx";
SubMenuItem1 = info.GetValue("HardDrive Text");
SubMenuItem2 = info.GetValue("Memory Text");
SubMenuItem3 = info.GetValue("Music Text");
SubMenuItem4 = info.GetValue("Settings Text");
}

and make it look like this:

CODE

function GetSubmenuText()
{
var info = new Settings;
info.file = "Y:\\config.xbx";
SubMenuItem1 = info.GetValue("HardDrive Text");
SubMenuItem2 = info.GetValue("Memory Text");
SubMenuItem3 = info.GetValue("Music Text");
SubMenuItem4 = info.GetValue("Settings Text");
SubMenuItem5 = info.GetValue("Menu5 Text");
}

then finally, go to where it says

CODE

GetSubmenuText();
c.SubmenuText1.text = SubMenuItem1;
c.SubmenuText2.text = SubMenuItem2;
c.SubmenuText3.text = SubMenuItem3;
c.SubmenuText4.text = SubMenuItem4;

(this should be just under "function onLoad()" in "DEF theMainMenu Level")

and add the following line:

CODE

c.SubmenuText5.text = SubMenuItem5;

there ya go... your manu name and launch path are now definabel via config.xbx

P.s Gcue and Jb0nE nice work!

this is just because of a little extra touch that Gcue added in...

i'm not going to go too deep into this, but in a nutshell, you can remove it by going to where he said to edit

CODE

[CODE]

{
var c = theMainMenu.children[0].children[0];

if (nCurMainMenuItem == 0) // Button 1

etc...

the same code is basicly repeated for each menu item... if you look closely, he is changing the alpha (transparency) level of the menu items as they move farther away from the selection.
example:

CODE

c.theOnlineItem.SetAlpha(0.2);

just delete the lines where it says something like
"c.the*Something*Item.SetAlpha(*some number*)"

there should be about 25 of them (5 for each "if (nCurMainMenuItem ==)" statement)

QUOTE (cypher35 @ Apr 21 2004, 03:50 PM)

is it really that hard to guess??

you put

CODE

else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4)
{
gamelaunch = true;
launchXbe = "default.xbe";
launchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition6\\XBMC";
theLaunchGameLevel.GoTo();
}

in the function "function OnADown()" after all of the other "else if" statements.

it's not too hard to figure out what is going on in this function... it determines what the current menu item (nCurMainMenuItem) is. When it's 0 it will open the memory menu, if it's 1 it will open the music menu, if it's 2 it will open the hard drive menu, etc...

this tells it what to do when menu 4 is selected.

here's what it should look like:

CODE

if (nCurMainMenuItem == 0)
{
theGamesMenuIn.Play();
GoToMusicPlayWithSubs();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 1)
{
theGamesMenuIn.Play();
GoToMemory();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 2)
{
theMusicMenuIn.Play();
GoToMusic();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 3)
{
theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
GoToSettings();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4)
{
gamelaunch = true;
launchXbe = "default.xbe";
launchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition6\\XBMC";
theLaunchGameLevel.GoTo();
}

or you could do what i did and make it look like this:

CODE

if (nCurMainMenuItem == 0)
{
theGamesMenuIn.Play();
GoToMusicPlayWithSubs();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 1)
{
theGamesMenuIn.Play();
GoToMemory();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 2)
{
theMusicMenuIn.Play();
GoToMusic();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 3)
{
theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
GoToSettings();
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 4)
{
QuickLaunch("Menu5");
}

then open up config.xbx and add the following line anywhere you want (just as long as it is it's own line and you don't change anything before the '=' sign)

CODE

Quick Launch Menu5=F:\\Apps\\XBMC\\default.xbe

you can then set that to whatever you want menu 5 to launch to.

i dont see that

when i search for

CODE

function OnADown()

it gives me this:

I made this so that only 4 tabs was visible and when you move down the 5th tab shows up. So your mainmenu wont be clogged up with a crap load of tabs damn. You guys are thick.

@cypher35,

oke I did what you said and yes the menu aren't transparent any more (so thank you) I also edit the default.xip/default.xap so that I can easily change the config.xbx and set that to whatever you want menu 5 to launch to. That's also working fine...

@Gcue how come when I select the 5th tab and it shows up. It's still way hidden at the back of the orb (just like what Xbox-Savage said). Was it the reason to show up like that at the back of the orb??

Can you maybe tell me how to edit the default.xip/default.xap so that the 5th tab is solid and right under the 4th tab..just like the picture of Cypher35.

if the menu is appearing in the wrong place, then you probably misplaced the code you were supposed to add before this:

Hi there,

I've got the same problem WarriorSan had.

I've installed Thclite on C, and it works, then i installed the 5 menu button.
Now when i reload Thclite, there is just a cellwant and no visible buttons !!
I can select them, and the 5the button works great but i can't see the buttons.

Even with the 25 lines with c.the*Something*Item.SetAlpha(*some number*) removed it doesn't work.

And re-signing doesn't help.

can someone help me out

anyway, it probably wouldn't be too hard to make a configurable option in config.xbx to toggle 5 menu mode and to set the name and action of menu 5... that's my next project

That would be great, I've spent the past hour trying to use the config file to make a fif menu. Thats right, da FIF!!

I cant really find a solution to this....follow the tutorial step by step(even repeated with each color dash available 3 times) until i got all five tabs with names and was able to edit the name on the config.xbx, HOWEVER, the fifth tab STill is hidden way back in the background. I try putting the code on top of that bracket, nothing works...changed to end of the Translation line after the closing bracket and Nothing works. if this is the only part keeping me from using tHc Lite, please anyone that successfully has all their five tabs showing as they are suppose to, show the code how is suppose to be added. Thanks in advance and Thanks to all of you for helping adding more features to this tHc Lite and the tHc regular/or pre-final.

Same problem here. Pasting the code right before the sqaure bracket puts the tab far away and centered on the orb. I can still select it and launch XBMC just fine, but it doesn't appear as it should. Was this centered on the green dash, b/c I'm using the blue dash for it.

WarriorSan

Apr 23 2004, 10:41 AM

@Aron Parsons,

I've also got the blue version and I think that we don't do anything wrong. This is because the code that Gcue gave us was meant to be that only 4 tabs are visible and when you move down the 5th tab shows up. So your mainmenu won't be clogged up with a crap load of tabs.

So I (we) hope that maybe Gcue can say how to make the 5th tab solid and underneath the 4th tab?

it still makes no sense to me why this code isn't working for you, but try pasting that large piece of code here (in mainmenu5.xip) instead:

CODE

DEF theMenuItems Transform
{
fade 0.43
//fade 0.25

children
[

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// <-- insert menu5 here!! -->
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

DEF Main_memory_ringpin_2 Transform
{
children
[

maybe this will work for some of you who are having trouble...
