Full Version: Tweaking The Uix Commerative Build

burnerO
The more I played around with the commerative build, the more I liked it... so I ended up tweaking it into oblivion. These steps will enable you to create a stock looking MS Dash that resembles Thc Lite with dongle-free DVD, FTP, automagic icons and skinning functionality. wink.gif

For your convenience, I've also assembled ips patchers to do all of this for you. Additionally, the zip includes the images that I refer to in the post:
(edit: sorry, re-upping)

01) Replace uix.xbe with the 1.6 replacement xbe.

02) Delete xips\bg_mesh.xip to remove the DNA. Disabling it otherwise is buggy.

03) Extract default.xip\dvd.xap from the 1.0 release and insert it to enable DVD playback.

04) Edit system\uix.ini prior to the first boot as it gets cached afterward. If you've already done so, delete the cache at E:\UDATA\0ffeeff0. Here's mine for reference. Note that SubMenu3 and SubMenu4 are reversed:

05) To change the globe back to the MS orb, delete Globe.xm from main_menu_ms.xip. Then open main_menu_ms.xip\default.xap and search for DEF Main_pod_backing01 Transform. Uncomment it by removing the surrounding /* and */

06) To get the orb ring back, open main_menu_ms.xip\default.xap and search for DEF podsupport_4 Transform. After that section, paste:
CODE

     DEF podsupport_ring Transform
     {
      children
      [
       Shape
       {
        appearance Appearance
        {
         material MaxMaterial
         {
          name "FlatSrfc/PodParts"
         }
        }
        geometry DEF podsupport_ring-FACES Mesh { url "podsupport_ring-FACES.xm" }
       }
      ]
      rotation -0.075560 0.704300 0.705900 -2.989000
      scale 6.409000 6.409000 6.409000
      scaleOrientation 0.620600 0.759100 -0.196700 -0.516000
      translation 48.430000 94.709999 105.500000
     }


07) To fix the "dvd not added yet" dialog, search in default.xip\default.xap for
CODE

TellUser("dvd not added yet :(","nada()");

and replace it with theDiscDrive.LaunchDisc();

08) To fix the dvd game loading screensaver screwiness, replace the three lines in default.xip\default.xap under else if(theDiscDrive.discType == "Title") with theDiscDrive.LaunchDisc();

09) To get quick power off with B, search in default.xip\default.xap for control DEF joy Joystick. Insert this after function OnADown():
CODE

 function OnBDown()
 {
  AskQuestion(theTranslator.Translate("\n \n          Power Off Xbox?"), "theConfig.PowerOff()", "", 1);
 }

10) To remove the REZN8 style access/wireframe, search in default.xip\default.xap for control DEF joy Joystick and remove the lines under the function OnYDown() and OnXDown()

11) To fix quick launch, insert in default.xip\default.xap a snippet with the corresponding letter to each On(Letter)Down() function under DEF joy Joystick:
CODE

   if((rightTrigger == true) & (leftTrigger == true))
   {
    QuickLaunch("A");
   }

Then replace the entire function QuickLaunch(x) with:
CODE

function QuickLaunch(x)
{
var IniFile = new Settings;
IniFile.SetIniSection( "default" );
var fullPath = IniFile.GetIniValue("Quick Launch " + x);
var itemDrive = fullPath.charAt(0);
var itemPath = fullPath.substr(2, fullPath.lastIndexOf("\\") - 2);
var itemXBE = fullPath.substr(fullPath.lastIndexOf("\\") + 1, fullPath.length());
var a;

if(itemDrive == "C") { a = 2; }
else if(itemDrive == "E") { a = 1; }
else if(itemDrive == "F") { a = 6; }
else if(itemDrive == "G") { a = 7; }

itemLaunchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition" + a + itemPath;
itemLaunchXBE = itemXBE;
launch(itemLaunchXBE, itemLaunchPath);
}

12) Right trigger+left trigger+Y occasionally makes wireframe mode activate. Instead of using quick launch on Y, we can have Y load the associated application without the triggers. To do this, simply remove the if statement around it.

13) To refresh the cache on every boot (manual refreshing doesn't seem to work), search in default.xip\default.xap for function UpDateMainMenuButtonsText(), and insert the following above the first line:
CODE

theGamesMenu.RefreshCache();
theApplicationsMenu.RefreshCache();
theEmulatorsMenu.RefreshCache();
theDashboardsMenu.RefreshCache();

If you'd rather have a quick boot and refresh when entering the hard drive menu this can also go under function GoToHD()

14) The hard drive menu background (xboxlogo.xbx) is flipped horizontally, so I simply replaced it with a solid black xbx.

15) Icons are loaded from their respective save game directory. Open the cache files from E:\UDATA\0ffeeff0\cache in notepad to determine these. For missing icons, simply copy xboxlogo128.xbx to their directory and rename it to TitleImage.xbx for a generic icon.

16) XPort uses the save game directory for all of his emulators. To fix this, replace the TitleImage.xbx in E:\UDATA\ffff051f with a more generic one.

Notes: Removing the info panel prevents there being a way to stop the background music.
To autoload movies/games, search in default.xip\default.xap for if ( theDiscDrive.discType == "Video" ) and replace all of the lines in it with theDiscDrive.LaunchDisc(); For games do the same with else if ( theDiscDrive.discType == "Title" )

Still to do (help appreciated):
Console/cd stack in hard drive menu?
Kanaberra style free space in hard drive menu?
Add a fifth button in the hard drive menu that refreshes the cache?

Take it easy,

beerchug.gif I also use Comm. version, but I like the Rezn8 menu, and tweaked it to look just like BSX (with texturized rotating orbs). love.gif I Love the sub menu and it s options...They ROCK!!!!!
burnerO
Here's a few more tweaks, along with a proper download now:
http://consolevision.com/members/burnero/misc/uixpatch.zip

17) To remove the dvd status icons, replace dvdaudio.xbx, dvdempty.xbx, dvdunknown.xbx, dvdvideo.xbx with a transparent xbx. Then in main_menu_ms.xip\default.xip change width -9 to width -11, and width -7 to width -9.

18) Here are some fixes for the included blue skin. The first fixes the green orb outline/missing cellwall, the second the green A/B button glow, and the third the green keyboard. A matching blue dvdbutton.xbx is also included which was originally green.
CODE

[InnerWall_01]
ColorA=107, 177, 255, 20
ColorB=0, 14, 192, 10

[EggGlow]
ColorA=252, 255, 0, 0
ColorB=0, 0, 0, 0

[Keyboard]
ColorA=0, 146, 208, 255
ColorB=107, 220, 255, 255
ColorC=13, 0, 255, 34
ColorD=94, 167, 250, 0


19) Here's how to get a fifth item on the hard drive menu that refreshes the cache! smile.gif
In default.xip\music_play_with_subs.xap:
Search for b_five = "none"; and replace it with b_five = "REFRESH CACHE";

Search for c.MenuMetaText.text = b_one; and replace the if section with (editing it as desired):
CODE

       if (nCurMusicPlayWithSubsItem0 == 0)
           c.MenuMetaText.text = theTranslator.Translate("Browse the games stored on the Xbox hard drive.");
       else if (nCurMusicPlayWithSubsItem0 == 1)
           c.MenuMetaText.text = theTranslator.Translate("Browse the emus stored on the Xbox hard drive.");
       else if (nCurMusicPlayWithSubsItem0 == 2)
           c.MenuMetaText.text = theTranslator.Translate("Browse the apps stored on the Xbox hard drive.");
       else if (nCurMusicPlayWithSubsItem0 == 3)
           c.MenuMetaText.text = theTranslator.Translate("Browse the misc stored on the Xbox hard drive.");
       else if (nCurMusicPlayWithSubsItem0 == 4)
           c.MenuMetaText.text = theTranslator.Translate("Refresh the cache to update listed menu items.");


Search for subTitle0 = b_five; replace the else if section with:
CODE


               else if (nCurMusicPlayWithSubsItem0 == 4)
 {
  if(b_five == "")
  {
   return;
  }
  else
  {
     theGamesMenu.RefreshCache();
     theApplicationsMenu.RefreshCache();
     theEmulatorsMenu.RefreshCache();
     theDashboardsMenu.RefreshCache();
  }
 }


Search for (nCurMusicPlayWithSubsItem0 < nMenuItemCount - 1) and replace it with if (nCurMusicPlayWithSubsItem0 < nMenuItemCount)

Can you post some pics, for us to see before we do your code so we know what were getting into, and what the final product sould look like. smile.gif
burnerO
Sure thing. This is what the dash (skinned blue) will look like after using the patch or manually doing the code mods:

http://consolevision.com/members/burnero/misc/uix02.jpg
http://consolevision.com/members/burnero/misc/uix03.jpg

It's basically a Lite menu style with Uix functionality (ftp, dvd, icons, etc).
SlickShoes
do you recon i could get that xbox4.xbx off you for that skin,
are you ever on #teamuix?
burnerO
If you're referring to the blue orb, it's the same one that's included in the blue skin directory...

I've hung around the channel before with questions, but they always go unanswered so I've pretty much resorted to figuring things out for myself.
grindbg
Good job man beerchug.gif
-Gadget-
well done d00d smile.gif ..
and thanks for sharing it with us all ..

its nice to see oher people like the old tridinal look best
but just a hint of new stuff smile.gif

and i know what ya mean by just figuring it out ya self smile.gif
ive been doing a bit of that with a dash2..
but gonna move to uix, because uix as so much more potential..
(like the icons etc)

Wow, that's a lot of neat stuff, thanks! It'll take a while to get right though... somebody should release a full version. tongue.gif

Actually, just download the patches and apply them to the commerative xips. wink.gif

The posted code was for those who like to do things manually.

Sorry, I didn't notice that. Thanks again! smile.gif
Acronomic
Sorry for the double post, but I just can't seem to find the main_menu_ms.xip ... only the main menu.xip. Is there any difference between the two? Should I rename main_menu.xip to main_menu_ms.xip?

Am I working with the wrong version of UIX perhaps? (v.00.01.00)

Patching the main_menu.xip worked, but I can't get myself to try it out in fear that the xbox might crash or blow up ph34r.gif
burnerO
That's not the Commerative Build then.

Get it at the same place you download UIX.
Infamous_One
looks cool , but theres a bug with the Y button , it reboots and sents you into an RDE.
burnerO
I'll look into that and re-upload along with a few more various snippets.
burnerO
The reset was caused by a duplicate set of Quick Launches. I couldn't get it to exhibit the same behavior again after doing the following:

Search in default.xip/default.xap for function QuickLaunchA() and delete those through function QuickLaunchY(). These are redundant and have no bearing on the function of the current QuickLaunch.

To enable fast forward/rewind on the dvd player (taken from elsewhere on the board), search in default.xip/dvd.xap for function OnLeftThumbMoveRight() and add this below that section:
CODE

      function OnRightThumbMoveLeft()
        {
            if (theDVDPlayer.isPlaybackDomain() == 0)
            {
                OperationProhibited();
                return;
          }

            if (theDVDPlayer.isUOPValid(1<<9)) // UOP_BACKWARD_SCAN
            {
                 theDVDPlayer.backwardScan();
                 UpdateScanText();
            }
            else
            {
                 OperationProhibited();
            }
        }

      function OnRightThumbMoveRight()
        {
            if (theDVDPlayer.isPlaybackDomain() == 0)
            {
                 OperationProhibited();
                 return;
            }

            if (theDVDPlayer.isUOPValid(1<<8)) // UOP_FORWARD_SCAN
            {
                 theDVDPlayer.forwardScan();
                 UpdateScanText();
            }
            else
            {
                 OperationProhibited();
            }
        }

To be able to take screenshots of the submenus, search in default.xip/music_play_with_subs.xap for function OnWhiteDown()
CODE

        if (nCurMusicPlayWithSubsItem0 == 0)
            theGamesMenu.RefreshCache();

        else if (nCurMusicPlayWithSubsItem0 == 1)
            theApplicationsMenu.RefreshCache();

        else if (nCurMusicPlayWithSubsItem0 == 2)
            theDashboardsMenu.RefreshCache();

        else if (nCurMusicPlayWithSubsItem0 == 3)
            theEmulatorsMenu.RefreshCache();

        else if (nCurMusicPlayWithSubsItem0 == 4)
            return;

And replace it with theScreen.TakeScreenShot(); The refresh cache button is also redundant since there is a button for it on the hard drive menu.

I updated and sorted the patch to include all of these along with easier instructions:

Any additional requests or reactions are appreciated.

Hello Burner()

"Extract default.xip\dvd.xap from the 1.0 release and insert it to enable DVD playback"

Is there a way to have Games and Apps in the main menu with your UIX mod?

Unfortunately not, or I would have done it that way myself. See here for me venting on the subject: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=337601&hl=

Supposedly it is going to be implemented in the next release, but who knows...

Is it normal for the locking features to not work?
Is it normal for the DNA/Chains/Spiral to not show up even when the settings have been modified in configuration menu?

Anywayz... Beautifull work Burner! beerchug.gif In fact your mods made UIX alot more closer to what I (and many others I'm sure) was looking forward to (simply a tHc Full with ftp servicing intergrated) from the whole UIX project!

burnerO
I couldn't figure out the locking, so probably so.

The visibility of the dna is also quite screwy. Turning them off with the config didn't work, so the opposite is also probably true.

And indeed, all that I've wanted all along was thc original with ftp/dvd playback.

Man, this all sounds great. It looks as though everyone has no problem using this dash. But I sure do. I had it installed on my xbox when it first came out, but now it wont work. Even the original "Comemerative Build" wont work anymore. All it does is reboot. I see the background for a split second. Is this a cache issue?? Can someone help?? I had it working at one time but noticed to many bugs I didnt care for. You all seem rather happy with this "tweaked" version. I would sure like to play with it.

I had that problem at the beginning... :

-Try to delete the cache at E:\UDATA\0ffeeff0
-Make sure that your UIX.INI reflects exactly your setup on your hard disk
-Copy the content of the new Blue folder in the original one (in other words don't delete the content of your Blue folder, just add to it)

I hope that I've been of some help!

Ho my goodness! ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif I need a new pair of underwear!!!!!

Burner!!!! You've done it again! Man!

Have you made this version available? Please tell where can I get that mod of yours...
burnerO
I was going to post this elsewhere, but I didn't want to put it in one of the flamebait posts that would ultimately be deleted. I'd consider this a respectable topic, so please keep it at that.

I’m glad you like it, because I in fact am fond of it too. Perhaps it looks a little familiar, like say… tHc original? How long has it been since this functionality was available you might wonder? With tHc lite being almost a year old to date, it’s safe to say quite some time. If you were to browse through my old posts, you would quickly realize that I have an unhealthy obsession with trying to get UIX back “the way it was.” I love the recently added DVD playback and icons, but the new menu styles do less for me than tHc lite even.

I confess to idling in the evil dash’s channel, but could honestly care less about the politics. I’ve spoken to JbOnE before, and have no problem in admitting that he’s always been pleasant with me. I was assured by him that DVD/ftp would be re-implemented into the older dashes, and was also told on numerous occasions that the original menu style would be a selectable option in the first UIX release. When it didn’t happen, I stuck to tHc original for quite some time before modding the commemorative release. Blaspheming JbOnE is silly, because he’s responsible for all of this. Perhaps he takes it a little personally, but he also has nearly two years invested in this. To be honest, I have nothing but respect for anyone who’s worked on MS-Dash modding.

To be frank, all of this reminds me of an old South Park episode.

Research Leader: Thank you for bringing him to us, boys. You see, this is not an ordinary towel. He is the RG-400 Smart Towel, designed with a computer chip inside the terry cloth
Stan: We don't care.
Research Leader: You see, here at Tynacorp, our goal was to make the perfect towel. A towel that would sense how wet or dry the user's skin was and fluff itself accordingly.
Stan: Dude, we don't care.
Research Leader: Towelie was our greatest success. Smart enough to beat the average human at chess and absorbent enough to soak up even the toughest spills. But then one day, Towelie got high and just sort of wandered off.
Stan: We... don't... care.

Locking the code is perhaps the worst decision that could be made, because I’ve put countless enjoyable hours into tweaking it to my tastes. With the code snippets section of the board, it would seem that many others do too. But for someone who used original for the longest time, you can imagine that I’d just be happy to stick with what I’ve got.

In summary, I can see where JbOnE is coming from. People claiming derivatives of my work as their own would annoy me as well. The problem is in fact is that there are so many delicate egos floating around, but the only losers in the long run are the end users. The MS-Dash tap dances on any alternatives, and there hasn’t been a single person that I’ve modded their box with it that has complained.

I don’t mean to convey the cheesy “get along” theme, but I’ve been flamed before just for requesting this simple feature. How dare I question what is best for me? Ultimately… I don’t care.

What functionnality are you talking about? The Game & Applications main menu? The automatic loading of game pictures? Are you saying that everything was already setup so that we could have the game & apps main menus since tHc LITE and that it's still available in the latest release of UIX?

I don't know for how long you've been using tHc Original but trust me I'm a serious contender on that level cool.gif In fact I still boot my Xbox with Evolution X which I have set up with a single menu option : tHc Original. That's the best that I've been able to do. Mind you my copy of tHc Original is moded to the point of no return but it still misses that single thing that prevents me from using it as a my main dash: ftp servicing!

Can you give me a hint on how you've managed to get your game and applications to appear in the main menu (if this really is UIX or comemorative edition) ? I've been looking around for a function or something that could have been called to run the game or application menu but didn't find any. I went and even asked on the irc channel and have been told that there was no kind of GoToGame function in UIX...

Just wondering, but do these patches work on the newest version of UIX, or am I going to be stuck trying to find a dash that is not distributed anymore?

Great work BurnerO, quick question...

With the commemerative build, I want to Launch XBMC from the fourth tab, how should I configure the .ini??

Should I use the syntax:
\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition1\\Applications\\xbmc
or,
E:\Applications\xbmc

Thanks blink.gif
blu3_v2
bump.

Anybody else using the commemerative build able to help me out??

I think it is e:\\ not e:\

not too sure tho, you could just edit the default.xip -> default.xap and change the onadown command

Is there a way to fix these 3 things:
1. when ever I am in the skins menu and I go down to select a skin my xbox reboots making it imposible to choose any skin but blue and blue cubewall.
2. The clock's xm doesn't have moving arms like it used to. (this doesn't matter as much as #1.)
3. There is no restart dash option and the reboot option does nothing.
conners
anymore coding for this
fixxxer575
I found out why the skins menu kept rebooting my xbox. the Skins menu tries to display a screenshot.xbx in each skin folder. However in the Commerative Build the only skin that has the screenshot.xbx is the Blue skin. So I just copied the screenshot.xbx from the Blue skin's folder into all the other skin's folders.

There is also another bug the FileManager can't transfer any files.
When you press X nothing happens. Maybe if the file manager xap files were replaced with one from normal UIX the File Manager would work.

SO whats the point? I mean great work but if your gonna make it like this then all your makin it do is look like UIX the original. just download the Original and you can save your self alllllllllllll the work.

The point is to cobine the looks of Thc with the functions of UIX! (FTP, Skinable, ect.)

did you get the file manager working then by replacing the files.

I noticed in RENZ8 mode the menus move the wrong way. If I hit left I go right and when I hit right i go left. To fix this replace functions OnLeftThumbMoveLeft() and OnLeftThumbMoveRight() in default.xip\default.xap with these functions:

CODE
 function OnLeftThumbMoveLeft()
 {
  if ((OnComplete == true) & (InMainLevel == true) & (rightTrigger == false))
  {
   var d = new Date;
   secondhour = d.getHours() * 3600;
   secondmins = d.getMinutes() * 60;
   secondsecs = d.getSeconds();
   if (((secondhour + secondmins + secondsecs) - (firsthour + firstmins + firstsecs)) > .8)
   {
    theMainMenuBackward.Play();
    var c = theMainREZN8Menu.children[0].children[0];
    c.theGamesUnit.fade = 1;
    c.theMovieUnit.fade = 1;
    c.theMemoryUnit.fade = 1;
    c.theSettingsUnit.fade = 1;
    c.theMusicUnit.fade = 1;
    firstmins = d.getMinutes() * 60;
    firstsecs = d.getSeconds();
    OnMenuRight();
    return;
   }
  }
 }

 function OnLeftThumbMoveRight()
 {
  if ((OnComplete == true) & (InMainLevel == true) & (rightTrigger == false))
  {
   var d = new Date;
   secondhour = d.getHours() * 3600;
   secondmins = d.getMinutes() * 60;
   secondsecs = d.getSeconds();
   if (((secondhour + secondmins + secondsecs) - (firsthour + firstmins + firstsecs)) > .8)
   {
    theMainMenuForward.Play();
    var c = theMainREZN8Menu.children[0].children[0];
    c.theGamesUnit.fade = 1;
    c.theMovieUnit.fade = 1;
    c.theMemoryUnit.fade = 1;
    c.theSettingsUnit.fade = 1;
    c.theMusicUnit.fade = 1;
    firstmins = d.getMinutes() * 60;
    firstsecs = d.getSeconds();
    OnMenuLeft();
    return;
   }
  }
 }


(I just swaped OnMenuLeft(); with OnMenuRight(); in the funtions)

Warning if you applied Burner O's patch you can no longer acess RENZ8 mode.

For whatever reason, the DNA kept going away whenever I tried to edit my default.xap with the quicklaunch code displayed on the first page sad.gif. I don't know why this happens, but I had to do code placement and edits to get the DNA to stay.

Do this instead:
Find Function OnADown() (or whatever one) under the joystick definition.

Put this under "playsoundA()"
CODE
if((rightTrigger == true) & (leftTrigger == true))
{
var IniFile = new Settings;
IniFile.SetIniSection( "default" );
var fullPath = IniFile.GetIniValue("Quick Launch A");
    QuickLaunch(fullPath);
}

replace the "Quick Launch A" string with whatever button you want.

Then, find "function QuickLaunch(x)"
At the very bottem, replace theLaunchGameLevel.GoTo();
with
launch(itemLaunchXBE, itemLaunchPath);

note, the paths will be in the format "c\\app_path\\default.xbe"

Burner0, I know this is an old topic, but do you still have the code/xaps that you added to get this game menu?

Like you, I also prefer the older dashboard styles. It seems that all the nice visual customizations have been sacrificed..
