Just a friendly suggestion when testing code i find it safe to use a 2nd install of uix so i don't mess up my box
if you deside to do this too remember it will still use the same cache as the default uix install...it helps sometimes to clear this prior to running the
the 2nd uix install

ie: e:\dashboards\UIX.test.copy\

..on with the code

NEW ORB MENU CODE

user posted image

default.xip/default.xap

STEP #1
find

CODE

DEF theSkinInline Inline

and change this

CODE

DEF theSkinsInline Inline
{
visible false
url "skins.xap"
function onLoad() {
theSkinsInline.children[0].theSkinsMenu.GoTo();
}

function GoToSkins()
{
theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
if( theSkinsInline.visible ) { theSkinsInline.children[0].theSkinsMenu.GoTo(); }
else { theSkinsInline.visible = true; }
}

to this

CODE

DEF theSkinsInline Inline
{
visible false
url "skins.xap"
function onLoad() { theSkinsInline.children[0].theSkinsMenu.GoTo(); }
}

function GoToSkins()
{
theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
if( theSkinsInline.visible ) { theSkinsInline.children[0].theSkinsMenu.GoTo(); }
else { theSkinsInline.visible = true; }
}

DEF theOrbsInline Inline
{
visible false
url "orbs.xap"
function onLoad() { theOrbsInline.children[0].theOrbsMenu.GoTo(); }
}

function GoToOrbs()
{
theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
if( theOrbsInline.visible ) { theOrbsInline.children[0].theOrbsMenu.GoTo(); }
else { theOrbsInline.visible = true; }
}

its just a copy of the DEF theSkinsInline Inline and function GoToSkins() with Skins renamed to Orbs then pasted
This should allow you to set up an orbs directory and get into it.

Then this...

find

CODE

function MainMenuAttract()

look for

CODE

c.Modded_Orb.fade = a;

and under this add

CODE

c.gasorb.fade = a;

now look for

CODE

c.Modded_Orb.SetScale(43,43,43);

under that add

CODE

var OrbName=GetOrbName();
var info = new Settings;
info.file = OrbName + ".xbx";
info.section = "Orb";
var scalex;
var scaley;
var scalez;
scalex = info.GetValue("Scalex");
scaley = info.GetValue("Scaley");
scalez = info.GetValue("Scalez");
c.gasorb.SetScale(scalex,scaley,scalez);
c.Rotating_Large_X.fade = 0.43;
ChangeTheOrb( OrbName + ".xm" );

SAVE CHANGES AND INSERT INTO default.xip

STEP #2

default.xip/orbs.xap

in default.xip

Extract the file - skin.xap and rename that to orbs.xap
Change all instances of Skins to Orbs, Skin to Orb, skins to orbs and skin to orb

WATCH THE CASES!!

After all instances have been changed Continue On..

Create a dir in user.interface.x.dash called orbs
inside that create a folder for each orb and rename to the same name as your orb.
(just like the skins folder but orbs)

Example: user.interface.x.dash/spikes/spikes.xm

You should now have a working directory structure.

Now if you peeps want to add a corrisponding xbx file to your orbs such as Author, Credits, ect.

you can make a txt file place in orbs folder rename to orbname.xbx
for instance (spikey.xbx)

and add something like this

#
# Xbox Dash Orb Data
#
# Orb Name - spikey
#
#

Jan 27 2005, 10:56 PM

here are a few things i forgot to include
..sorry

THINGS MISSING:

STEP #1
default.xip/settings.xap

Find

CODE

sSettingsMenu[index] = theTranslator.Translate("SKINS");
index = index + 1;

ADD

CODE

sSettingsMenu[index] = theTranslator.Translate("Orbs");
index = index + 1;

Find

CODE

else if(sSettingsElements[nCurSettingsMenuItem] ==
theTranslator.Translate("SKINS")) { SetVideoModeIcon(nCurVideoMode); }

ADD

CODE

else if(sSettingsElements[nCurSettingsMenuItem] ==
theTranslator.Translate("Orbs)) { SetVideoModeIcon(nCurVideoMode); }

Next Find

CODE

else if(sSettingsElements[nCurSettingsMenuItem] ==
theTranslator.Translate("SKINS")) { metaString =
theTranslator.Translate("SKINS"); }

insert

CODE

else if(sSettingsElements[nCurSettingsMenuItem] ==
theTranslator.Translate("Orbs")) { metaString =
theTranslator.Translate("Orbs"); }

Next Find

CODE

else if(sSettingsElements[nCurSettingsMenuItem] ==
theTranslator.Translate("SKINS"))
{
strCurMenu = "SKINS";
GoToSkins();
}

and add

CODE

else if(sSettingsElements[nCurSettingsMenuItem] ==
theTranslator.Translate("Orbs"))
{
strCurMenu = "Orbs";
GoToOrbs();
}

STEP #2

default.xip/orbs.xap

Comment out the remaining 3 lines containing

CODE

theConfig.ChangeOrb(

STEP #3

default.xip/default.xap

Need to add these to the bottom

CODE

function ChangeTheOrb(e)
{
var c = theMainMenu.children[0].children[0];
c.Modded_Orb.visible = false;
c.Stock_Orb.visible = false;

c.gasorb.visible = false;
c.gasorb.children[0].children[0].geometry.url = e;
c.gasorb.visible = true;
}

function GetOrbName()
{
var IniFile = new Settings;
IniFile.SetIniSection( "Dashboard Settings" );
var OrbName = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Current Orb" );
IniFile.CloseIniFile();
OrbName = "A:\\orbs\\" + OrbName + "\\" + OrbName;

return OrbName;
}

STEP #4

The placement of the gasorb function in main_menu.xip may be wrong!

It needs to be:

Find

CODE

}//DEF Modded_Orb Transform

then insert

CODE

DEF gasorb Transform
{
children
[
Spinner
{
rpm 5
axis 0 2 2
children
[
Shape
{
appearance Appearance
{
material MaxMaterial
{
name "MenuCell"
}

}
geometry Mesh { url "gasorb.xm" } //and this
}
]
}
]

rotation -0.993700 -0.088440 0.068970 -1.576000
scale 43.000000 43.000000 43.000000
scaleOrientation 0.036530 0.975200 0.218400 -0.396500
translation -54.880000 -15.100000 29.980000
}

The 2 lines after this should read

CODE

]
}//DEF theMainMenuCam Transform

this should be it
with all the code changes in from this topic it should all work just fine.

last bit of code

kay....got all of your first two posts complete, and steps 3 and 4 of your things i forgot post complete

as for 1 and 2 of ur update post,

in part1.
i am unable to find any instances of

sSettingsMenu[index] = theTranslator.Translate("SKINS");
index = index + 1;

in fact, i only get two instances of the word skins, both of them near the end of settings.xap

as for part 2,

what exactly do you mean by "comment out the remaining three lines containing theconfig.changeorb("?

#1 in my default.xip\orbs.xap there are only two instances of 'theconfig.changeorb('

For the first thing, Search default.xip/settings.xap for this:

CODE

function StartSettingsMenu()

Just under that you will find the first thing you are looking for.

As for the second thing, just search default.xip/orbs.xap for:

CODE

theConfig.ChangeOrb

There should be 3 or 4 of them in the entire file in these locations if Im not mistaken:
1. In the function DoAction()
2. In the function OnBDown()
3. In the function OnLeftThumbMoveUp()
4. In the function OnLeftThumbMoveDown()

Just scan through the file and look for them...you might have better luck that way and then you will be sure you got them all. As for commenting them out, you can just put two forward slashes right before the line (ie. //) For example:

CODE

//theConfig.ChangeSkin( SkinMenuList[skinSelect] );
theConfig.ChangeSkin( SkinMenuList[skinSelect] );

The top line is commented out, and the bottom is not. You can also just delete the line too but I would only do that when you are sure that the code will work without it. Hope this helps!

well i put in all stuff, boot up the uix with just the cellwall visible in back. i can hear me navigating the menu. my music doesn't start, and i can only access music tab.

but, let me add, it is either a copy and paste issue, or i have the orb changing code in my dash config and uix.ini, so they might conflict.

When that happens it usually means a semicolon was missed or a bracket of some sort was not properly opened and closed. The only thing I could notice was in Post #5 this code:

CODE

else if(sSettingsElements[nCurSettingsMenuItem] ==
theTranslator.Translate("Orbs)) { SetVideoModeIcon(nCurVideoMode); }

as you can see it is missing a ". The code should be this:

CODE

else if(sSettingsElements[nCurSettingsMenuItem] ==
theTranslator.Translate("Orbs")) { SetVideoModeIcon(nCurVideoMode); }

Try that first and see if it fixes the problem.

If not, you are right in saying that it could be your change orb code because it might be conflicting where it is still trying to load the old orb and the new gasorb code! (Not sure if that would conflict or not tho. I would think not and the output would be having to Orbs! LOL I dont know for sure tho)

I guess depending on what change orb code you are speaking of, there is probably a way around it. Are you using the code where you can select between the modded and stock (or xbox4.xbx) orbs?

That would say to me there is something wrong with the orbs.xap located in default.xip. The one thing I must STRESS to you the same way t1x2 did, is to make sure you changed all instances of Skins to Orbs, skins to orbs, Skin to Orb, and skin to orb. You CANT use the Replace all command...you must enter Skins in the find and Orbs in the replace and go through each, one by one ensuring you are replacing the correct code. Also for skins/orbs and Skin/Orb and skin/orb. Retry the orbs.xap creation part ensuring you properly replace the words and comment out/modify any required lines of code.

good news and bad news

1# i think its working i can see the orb folder in settings and i can select different orbs but.......i have spikes in hard drive folder by default that is the way it was when i dl from gasclown i believe anyways the orb i select merges on with the spikes what can i do to remove the spikes.

2# my main menu is the globe orb by default.....it never changes to an orb i select from the orb folder i have the xbox4.xbx orbs

if you can help i gratefull thanx and keep up the great work guys very nice stuff.

dvdronn

Jan 28 2005, 06:21 AM

Well, i am now guessing that i am incompitent. I took out my other orb codes, and started over. get the same thing, no f'n orb, no f'n tabs. I can hear it navigate up and down and i can enter my submenus. go to ny new orbs tab in settings and i get a menu that i can't navigate that says testing testing testing over and over, but it does have the 6 tabs at the bottom.

oh yeah and it still doesn't autoplay my music.

Jan 28 2005, 10:51 AM

OK, to answer a few questions the

function ChangeOrbs(Section,OrbRef)
does need to go in the default.xip/hard_drive.xap

If you are getting the orbs menu appearing and can hear sounds when moving up and down but can not see anything changing then you have probably NOT commented out all of the

theConfig.ChangeOrb(

bits.

If you are not seeing the main orb change then it coul be a few things but usually...
You have not placed the gasorb code in the right spot
If you typed it all in then check the case of gasorb
or you possibly have to refs to gasorb in the settings_panel.xip

The testing testing testing bit appeared when I had not changed the reference to default3 in orbs.xap into default4.

Jan 28 2005, 01:10 PM

hope this helps some of you:

settings_panel.xip/hard_drive.xap = default.xip/hard_drive.xap

~ORB DIRECTORY SETUP~
Example: user.interface.x.dash/spikes/spikes.xm

SHOULD OF COURSE BE....
Example: user.interface.x.dash/orbs/spikes/spikes.xm

very bottom of the routine = at the very bottom

CODE

DEF AlternatefileListView Viewpoint

}

<------right here

theConfig.ChangeOrb has not been implemented yet into the xbe...

version 2 of uix will most likely be using it

so in the meantime it just should be left out

if you look in the readme of uix it shows the

theConfig.ChangeSkin

but not

theConfig.ChangeOrb

later

Jan 28 2005, 03:25 PM

k.. thx bladeboy..all working now.

@dvdronn, ya, thats located in default.xip, not settings_panel.xip.

also, just for reference, i had not commented out any of 'theconfig.changeorb' but my dash worked fine. i commented them out (thx again bladeboy, my comp skills end at hexing and batch

) and found no noticable difference.

t1x2irc2

Jan 28 2005, 03:27 PM

also.....
gasclown pack of orbs are great!

but, some of these are differant sizes if you resize them to the same as
the original OrbCell-FACES.xm then they will look better.. it's not the code

you can play with the waver,spinner and axis code of each orb in main_menu.xip to what suits you the best

the middle console orb was still being worked on...so if you can get it working..
please post your code

the preview on-the-fly is still up for grabs....mabey version 2 of UIX will have it who knows...

if there is anything else about this project let me know ...
and thanx for everyone for helping the ones in need ...i'm glade it worked for ya

blade_boy1

Jan 28 2005, 11:36 PM

Thats no problem, Im just glad to help out whenever I can. I took a stab at the preview code and I came to the conclusion that its not possible AS OF YET to have a preview of the orb. (But I could be wrong) I was only able to show one of the orbs by changing the waivering console into an orb, but its not changeable on the fly, again, as far as I know. I was also looking at replacing the 4 identical icons in the games, apps, etc menus, and I was able to put some text their, but was unable to change the text at all except for what I hardcoded into the xap itself. Ohwell, like t1x2irc2 says, hopefully in V2.

LeftNut

Jan 29 2005, 02:03 PM

Nice piece of code you got going here.

It took me awhile but I now have the orb change operating smoothly on my XBOX. The main menu orb gave me the most trouble. To get the main menu orb working I had to create those orb info files with the .xbx extension like t1x2irc2 had mentioned earlier. In those files you will need the [HD Orbs] section along with the [Orb] section. The first one is for setting the orb scale in the hard drive menu. The [Orb] section is essential for main menu orb operation so be sure to include it in the .xbx files you WILL create. The [Orb] part is to set the proper scale for the orbs set to the main menu.

With gasclown's golfball orb, to have a near exact fill of the orb areas, needs to have a setting of:

(Now don't quote me on this. I just found that it worked on by box and all the stuff I don't know what I did to it.)

[Orb]

Scalex=0.39

Scaley=0.39

Scalez=0.39

[HD Orbs]

Scalex=0.0212

Scaley=0.0212

Scalez=0.0212

But thats one of the four larger orbs that I have of gasclowns. The others being gashexorb, flavorb, and the big version of the globe orb. In order to have a nearly exact fill of the orb areas with an orb like rings you would need these scalex,y, and z dimensions:

[Orb]

Scalex=42

Scaley=42

Scalez=42

[HD Orbs]

Scalex=2.45

Scaley=2.45

Scalez=2.45

Input these sections into the orbname.xbx and include them in your orb folders and they should be the final piece to the puzzle.

Thanks all for your coding abilities.

Dazza

Jan 29 2005, 03:17 PM

Yes, if you look at the code thers is a default value built into the HD Orb section.
If the orbname.xbx file is missing it sets the 3 scale values to 1.75.
Unfortunately there is not an equivalent for the main orb code but it is easy to add this.

Open default.xip/default.xap and find:

CODE

scalex = info.GetValue("Scalex");
scaley = info.GetValue("Scaley");
scalez = info.GetValue("Scalez");

and under that add:

CODE

if (scalex == "") { scalex = 43; }
if (scaley == "") { scaley = 43; }
if (scalez == "") { scalez = 43; }

Then you should only need to create the xbx file if these are not right ie for the golfball one.
Most of the new ones appear to need a scale size of 43.

If the default value of 1.75 is too small this can be changed in default.xip/hard_drip.xap

look for

CODE

if (scalex == "") { scalex = 1.75; }
if (scaley == "") { scaley = 1.75; }
if (scalez == "") { scalez = 1.75; }

and change the 1.75 to something else.

Of course the xbx file also has orb and author information in it.

Jan 30 2005, 05:55 AM

I'm also having a few troubles.

I added all of the code from the above posts and have the orbs tab in the settings menu but when I press A nothing happens.
I have checked by orbs.xap and everything appears to be in order there, and it also links to the default4.xap I made.

BUT:

When I add the following entries to the uix.ini I can choose the orbs for the HDD menu manually but cannot get the main orb to work.
[Dashboard Settings]
Games Orb=bubbles
Apps Orb=globe
Emus Orb=wireframe
Dash Orb=newspikes

Current Orb=twirly => doesn;t do anything to the main orb....

Any help from you guys who have mastered this code before I go back to square 1 and re-enter all code.

Cheers....

P.S. I have made info.xbx for all orbs with scales for main orb but still nothing

ImOkRuOk

Jan 31 2005, 02:18 AM

Ok, I as well have it show in sys menu, hear the menus change, and can change HD orbs, but main menu orb has yet to change, and all I can see in the orb menu is "TEST" on every line cept bottom, where says "apps, dashes, emu and games" Then "Info and i think apply" I commented out three (3) instances of "theConfig.ChangeOrb " (only three were found)... any ideas?

ImOkRuOk

Jan 31 2005, 02:37 PM

hmm, we cant edit our own posts anymore? damn
OK... update.. I got the menu to show up right this time, but no my HD menu has no menu_hilight, and those orbs no longer show~ main menu orb doesnt show, but i might just need to go through em all..... I think my main problem is either in the main menu file, or hard_drive~ i'll keep tryin:)

Feb 1 2005, 10:21 AM

I seem to be able to change HDD orbs as well as the main orb. Would it be possible to add the Material information in the ".xbx" file for the orb. ex. MenuCell, ReflectSurface... Then when you load the orb, it will also load the Material surface you want for that orb.

Of course you can and quite easily.

Look for

CODE

var scalez;

and insert under this

CODE

var sMaterial;
sMaterial = info.GetValue("Material");

Then find

CODE

ChangeTheOrb( OrbName + ".xm");

and change it so it looks like this

CODE

ChangeTheOrb( OrbName + ".xm", sMaterial);

Finally find

CODE

function ChangeTheOrb(e)
{
var c = theMainMenu.children[0].children[0];
c.Modded_Orb.visible = false;
c.Stock_Orb.visible = false;

c.gasorb.visible = false;
c.gasorb.children[0].children[0].geometry.url = e;
c.gasorb.visible = true;
}

And change that so it looks like this.

CODE

function ChangeTheOrb(orb, sMaterial, sTexture)
{
var c = theMainMenu.children[0].children[0];
c.Modded_Orb.visible = false;
c.Stock_Orb.visible = false;

c.gasorb.visible = false;
c.gasorb.children[0].children[0].geometry.url = orb;
if (sMaterial != "")
{
c.gasorb.children[0].children[0].appearance.material.name = sMaterial;
}
c.gasorb.visible = true;
}

Then all you need to do is open the orbs/orbname/orbname.xbx file and in the [Orbs] section add

Material=GameHilite

For example my globe.xbx looks like this

CODE

#
#
#
#
# Xbox Dash Orb Data
#
# Orb Name - globe
#
#

This will allow for the main orb to be changed if it is really necessary to change the other orbs then let me know.

I got the orbs to show even in the main menu. Other orbs change by selecting them but the main menu orb wil only change when the dash is rebooted, is this common? Also I can no longer click on my skins tab. I've gone over it three times now and still the same result.

hey guys lookin like a great code here but I got an issue that seems to be popular. I get no main menu at all on boot i can surf around and all the buttons work cept for hdd-main which it sounds like takes me to the uix main menu. I can get into boot and look at the orb menu it says testing in each on of the spots cept for at the bottom theres games, emu etc... but i noticed that at the top of this page Percy says to change the reference in orb.xap from default3.xip to default4.xip but its already set. Is that the only reason...obviously not but anyone got any ideas???thx

Feb 8 2005, 01:52 PM

Dazza

Feb 9 2005, 12:43 PM

I have found another reason for the menu appearing with just testing, testing, testing in it.

If you don't watch the case of the skin and orb changes in orb.xap it can cause the problem. For example if you accidentally change one occurence of orbScroll (capital S) to orbscroll(lower case s).

You really must be careful with the case. Change Skin to Orb and skin to orb.
If you are editing the xap files using notepad then tick the Match Case checkbox.

Alright, I have been working on this code to no avail and although I am making small progress I still need a push in the right direction. I currently can get the Main Menu Orb to display however the rest of the Main Menu (i.e. the Tabs) are not showing up. Also I cannot get the Main Menu Orb to change. I had a hard enough time to get the Orb to show. Could someone who has this code working give some insight as it would be greatly appreciated. I am pretty sure the error is stemming from my default.xip/default.xap or my main_menu.xip/default.xap. Thank You.

I too cannot get it to work correctly. I have no main menu, but can hear it navigate, When I get to settings, I have the Orbs tab, upon entering, I get testing on all orbs w/all 6 buttons on bottom highlighted.

Just to try to get something to work, I double checked my work, redid it all infact, and still the same. I have commented out, made sure default3 was default4, etc.

Like the prior poster stated, its a bit confussing with edits here and there. Is there any way to get a finalized version of this? Or possibly a zip file with all the xips?

Heres what I got now:

Still no main menu, but can navigate and get to orbs. I have the orb menu working and it lets me choose any one I want for everything. But when I go to the HDD menu, the only orb that seems to work is the dashboard orb. The other 3 (emu's, games, and apps) are blank.

But when I go to the HDD menu, the only orb that seems to work is the dashboard orb. The other 3 (emu's, games, and apps) are blank.

Fixed this by making the xbx's for each orb. Still no main menu, definately going to bed now.

Dazza,i refuse to give up !

this might work:

CODE

function UpdateOrb()
{
var c = theOrbsMenu.children[0].children[0];
var filename = "A:\\orbs\\" + OrbMenuList[orbSelect] + "\\" + OrbMenuList[orbSelect] + ".xm";
c.ConsoleIcon.children[0].children[0].geometry.url = filename;
c.ConsoleIcon.children[0].children[0].visible="true";
UpdateOrbMenu();
}

and this

CODE

DEF theOrbsMenu Level
{
archive "Settings_Panel.xip"

children
[
Inline
{
url "Settings_Panel/default4.xap"

function onLoad()
{
var c = theOrbsMenu.children[0].children[0]; <--
c.ConsoleIcon.SetAlpha(0); <--
c.ConsoleIcon.SetScale(1, 1, 1); <--
StartOrbMenu();
GetOrbs();
UpdateOrbMenu();
}
}
]

[code ]
function OnLeftThumbMoveUp()
{
if (orbSelect <= 0) { return; }
PlaySoundMenuChange();
orbSelect = orbSelect - 1;
if (orbButton == 0) { orbScroll = orbScroll - 1; }
else { orbButton = orbButton - 1; }
UpdateOrbMenu();
UpdateOrb(); <----
}

function OnLeftThumbMoveDown()
{
if (orbSelect >= orbCount - 1) { return; }
PlaySoundMenuChange();
orbSelect = orbSelect + 1;
if (orbButton == 8) { orbScroll = orbScroll + 1; }
else { orbButton = orbButton + 1; }
UpdateOrbMenu();
UpdateOrb(); <---
}
}
[/code]

Also, bit confussed on this..
should it be

copy settings_panel/default3.xap to settings_panel/default4.XAP ?

im stuck here also. and if it is supposed to be default4.xap , there is already a default4.xap in my settings_panel.xip ... do i replace it? or....

:: wonders if anyone is still reading this thread ::

well i used slick50's 6 menu tabs code which uses default4.xap in settings_panel.xip , so what I did was change the step in this process to naming it default5.xap and I changed the reference to Settings\default4.xap or whatever it was to default5. will this not work?

but when my xbox boots up and loads uix, it seems to freeze before any menus or anything, i only have a cellwall. the good thing is the ftp still works so i can make changes/updates. i can hear the ambient bg sounds but other than that.. nothing.

i guess ill start over.. maybe theres a paste mistake or something somewhere

im open to other suggestions on how to fix it

thanks

I thought it may of been a paste error, but I seriously doubt it. Just went through the entire process again. Still came to the same results, I am unable to select the systems menu. I did document out all 3 "theConfig.ChangeOrb" lines. And I made sure all my changes to orbs.xap file Skins to Orbs skin to orb were matching, manually, But still i am unable to view the system options.

nice code but for me it works not...

what it doesn't work...

1. i enter the menu of orbs and i press a to get into the menu, but then i don't get into the orbs menu, still on settings.
2. now i have problems with the remotte controler. the 4 green buttons for moving around don't work. used to work.

" i have some thoughts on the //A:...orbs folder..."
i'm not good at programming, i thing it's java right?

i hope the next version of the uix will include all those goodies

that's all

good news it hasn't crashed.

thanks

Hi,

Is it possible to see a preview on the right, of the orb you are selecting.
That way you can see your choosen orb, in the orb on the right ( handy if you have a lot of orbs).
