...hmm some really smart people

did this a while back for THC Lite but the concepts the same. You might even be able to use most of the same code.

heres part of what I got - this gets the clock on the screen. in the Hard drive menu. It works for any screen, just the section that runs it (in the default.xip) varies depending on which menu you use, but for now the clock code, which gets the clock on the screen... Please note that if you use this in any other menu the translations and scales will be out. You will have to set the clocks position on the screen...
For every entry in this code there is a - url "Clock_clock_body01-FACES.xm" - (the "Clock_clock_body01-FACES" changes for each entry) these are the 'images' that you will need. They can be found in settings.xap.. and you will need to include them where you add this code. (So if its going in the mainmenu put the code in mainmenu.xip/default.xap, and the .xm files in the mainmenu.xip) I will add an update to get the clock hands moving. Also you can use parts of this file. So if you want to use just the clock hands take just the section that starts "DEF ClockHourHand Transform" see the second code snippet.

thats it... (for now) hope this helps...

Updating the clock hands.
open default.xip/hard_drive.xap
search for

control DEF theHardDriveMenuJoy Joystick
make it look like this

CODE

function OnActivate()
{

UpdateListClockHands();
CurrentViewpoint = theHardDriveMenuViewpoint;
CurrentAltViewpoint = AlternateHardDriveMenuViewpoint;
EnableAudio();

}
behavior
{
sleep 15;
UpdateListClockHands();
}

under this is a list of var's, add these 2 to it..

CODE

var nClockHour;
var nClockMinute;

goto the bottom of the file and add this

CODE

function UpdateListClockHands()
{
var c = theHardDriveMenu.children[0].children[0];
var d = new Date;
nClockHour = d.getHours();
nClockMinute = d.getMinutes();
c.ClockHourHand.SetRotation(0, 0, -1, (nClockHour + nClockMinute / 60) * 6.283 / 12);
c.ClockMinuteHand.SetRotation(0, 0, -1, (nClockMinute - 15) * 6.283 / 60);
}

think thats it...
oh yeah, like I said b4, for any other menu.. it should be the same (so for the mainmenu orb, def thebigclock (from the other post) needs to go into mainmenu.xip/default.xap, and the clockupdate from this file needs to go in the defaul.xip/default.xap. The differences are in
"theHardDriveMenu.children[0].children[0]; " and "DEF theHardDriveMenuJoy Joystick" havent done it yet, but I am pretty sure, when Ive got something (working) I will update this thread...

evil_ted

Jan 12 2005, 06:55 AM

for Default.xip/default.xap
sorry that last bit should be changed to
the function "updatelistclockhands()" would need

CODE

theHardDriveMenu.children[0].children[0];

changed to

CODE

theMainMenu.children[0].children[0];

and you will need to add

CODE

function OnActivate()
{

UpdateListClockHands();
EnableAudio();
CurrentViewpoint = theMainMenuViewpoint;
CurrentAltViewpoint = theMainMenuAlternateViewpoint;
}
behavior
{
sleep 15;
UpdateListClockHands();
}

to

CODE

control DEF theMainMenuJoy Joystick

or something like that

I see that you guys edited the previous texts.... is it possible for you to paste the text again but complete without any errors or faults???

I really don't know what to paste now....

Jan 13 2005, 09:23 AM

Sorry about that, will start a new thread with exact instructions.....

after inserting all this code I found that the Xbox would reboot while playing a dvd. heres the fix

change

CODE

behavior
{
sleep 15;
UpdateListClockHands();
}

to

CODE

behavior
{
sleep 15;
if(thmainmenu.visable){UpdateListClockHands();}
}

One small fix. I've noticed that the screensaver neverstarts the only thing that happens is that the menutabs dissapear. And won't comeback until I restart the dash. here's a fix for that..

CODE

behavior
{
sleep 5; // I like it updating more often
UpdateListClock(); // Im using it to update my clock in my listbar
}

to

CODE

behavior
{
sleep 5;
if(bInScreenSaverView==false) UpdateListClock();
}

Missed one thing

CODE

UpdateListClock(); <- Remove this line

CurrentViewpoint = theHardDriveMenuViewpoint;
CurrentAltViewpoint = AlternateHardDriveMenuViewpoint;
EnableAudio();
}
