This mod is to enable the switching between 3 and 4 tabs and to change the function of each tab without having to open the xap each time.


||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||DEFAULT.XIP/DEFAULT.XAP||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Search for:
CODE
function UpDateMainMenuButtonsText()


Replace the function with:
CODE

function UpDateMainMenuButtonsText()
{
   var IniFile = new Settings;
   IniFile.SetIniSection( "Main Menu Tabs" );
   var c = theMainMenu.children[0].children[0];
   c.Button_01_Text.geometry.text = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Tab Text 1" );
   c.Button_02_Text.geometry.text = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Tab Text 2" );
   c.Button_03_Text.geometry.text = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Tab Text 3" );
   c.Button_04_Text.geometry.text = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Tab Text 4" );
   IniFile.CloseIniFile();
}


Search for:
CODE
Control DEF theMainMenuJoy Joystick


Then replace the function with this:
CODE

         function OnADown()
         {
             PlaySoundA();
             if (nCurMainMenuItem == 0)
             {
                 MenuAction("1");
             }
             else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 1)
             {
                 MenuAction("2");
             }
             else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 2)
             {
                 MenuAction("3");
             }
             else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 3)
             {
                 MenuAction("4");
             }
         }


Then find under that:
CODE
m_nbuttons=3


Comment that out and add this under that:
CODE
SetTabsAmount();


Then add this to the bottom of the xap:
CODE

function SetTabsAmount()
{
   var IniFile = new Settings;
   IniFile.SetIniSection( "Tabs" );
   var Settabsn = IniFile.GetIniValue( "SETTABS" );
   IniFile.CloseIniFile();
   m_nbuttons = ReturnInteger(Settabsn);

}

function MenuAction(x)
{
    var menu = x;
    var IniFile = new Settings;
    IniFile.SetIniSection( "Main Menu Tabs" );
    var a = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Tab Action " + menu);
    IniFile.CloseIniFile();
    if (a == "RunMem")
    {
        theGamesMenuIn.Play();
        GoToMemory();
    }
    else if (a == "RunMusic")
    {
        theMusicMenuIn.Play();
        GoToMusic();
    }
    else if (a == "RunHDD")
    {
        theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
        GoToHardDrive();
    }
    else if (a == "RunSetting")
    {
        theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
        GoToSettings();
    }
    else if (a == "FileMan")
    {
        theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
        GoToFileManager();
    }
    else if (a == "LaunchDisc")
    {
        theDiscDrive.LaunchDisc();
    }
    else if (a == "Reboot")
    {
        theConfig.Reset();
    }
    else if (a == "Shutdown")
    {
        theConfig.PowerOff();
    }
    else if (a == "RestartDash")
    {
        theConfig.ReStartDash();
    }
    else if (a == "PowerCycle")
    {
        theConfig.PowerCycle();
    }
    else if (a != " ")
    {
        MenuLaunch(a);
    }
    return;
}

function MenuLaunch(x)
{
 var a = x;
 var launchPath;

 var b = a.substr(0,1);
 var c = a.indexOf("\\");
 var d = a.lastIndexOf("\\");
 var e;
 if(d > 4)
 {
      e = "\\" + a.substr(c + 2, d - 5);
 }
 else
 {
      e = "";
 }
 var launchXbe = a.substr(d + 1);
 if(b == "F")
 {
    launchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition6" + e;
 }
 else if(b == "C")
 {
     launchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition2" + e;
 }
 else if(b == "G")
 {
     launchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition7" + e;
 }
 else if(b == "E")
 {
     launchPath = "\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition1" + e;
 }
 else
 {
     return;
 }
 launch (launchXbe, launchPath);
}

Look for:
CODE
function BuildMainList()


Then, just above:
CODE

ClearText();
UpdateText();


Add:
CODE

configList[i] = "Number of Tabs:";
configValues[i] = "c-Tabs-SETTABS";
configSelect[i] = "ToggleNbTabs()";
i = i + 1;


Then search for:
CODE

function BuildMMList()


And replace:
CODE

configList[i] = "Memory Tab Text:";
configValues[i] = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Text 1";
configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
i = i + 1;
configList[i] = "Music Tab Text:";
configValues[i] = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Text 2";
configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
i = i + 1;
configList[i] = "Hard Drive Tab Text:";
configValues[i] = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Text 3";
configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
i = i + 1;
configList[i] = "Settings Tab Text:";
configValues[i] = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Text 4";
configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
i = i + 1;


With:
CODE

configList[i] = "Tab 1 Text:";
configValues[i] = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Text 1";
configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
i = i + 1;
configList[i] = "Tab 1 Action:";
configValues[i] = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Action 1";
configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
i = i + 1;
configList[i] = "Tab 2 Text:";
configValues[i] = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Text 2";
configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
i = i + 1;
configList[i] = "Tab 2 Action:";
configValues[i] = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Action 2";
configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
i = i + 1;
configList[i] = "Tab 3 Text:";
configValues[i] = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Text 3";
configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
i = i + 1;
configList[i] = "Tab 3 Action:";
configValues[i] = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Action 3";
configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
i = i + 1;
configList[i] = "Tab 4 Text:";
configValues[i] = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Text 4";
configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
i = i + 1;
configList[i] = "Tab 4 Action:";
configValues[i] = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Action 4";
configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
i = i + 1;


Search for:
CODE
function ToggleXBE Names()


Under that function add:
CODE

function ToggleNbTabs()
{
   var c = theConfigPanel.children[0].children[0];
   var b = c.theRightSlots.children[LV2Item].children[0].geometry.text;
   if(b.toLowerCase() == "3") { RefreshMenu("4"); }
   else if(b.toLowerCase() == "4") { RefreshMenu("3"); }
}


|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||DEFAULT.XIP/CONFIG.XAP||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||UIX.INI|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Replace the section:
CODE
[Main Menu Tabs]


With:
CODE

[Main Menu Tabs]
Tab Action 2=RunHDD
Tab Action 3=F:\\apps\\xbmc\\default.xbe
Tab Action 4=RunSetting
Tab Action 1=RunMusic
Tab Text 2=Hard Drive
Tab Text 3=XBMC
Tab Text 4=System
Tab Text 1=Music


And add this to the bottom:
CODE

[Tabs]
SETTABS=4


||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||UIX.INI|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The actions for the tabs are:
File Manager: FileMan
Settings: RunSetting
Memory: RunMem
Music: RunMusic
Hard Drive: RunHDD
Launch DVD In the Disk Drive: LaunchDisc
Shutdown: Shutdown
Reboot: Reboot
Restart Dash: RestartDash
Power Cycle: PowerCycle

And if you want to launch an app from the main menu just point to it. An Example: F:\\apps\\xbmc\\default.xbe. You MUST have the double slashes. I take no credit for this. The credit goes to Kavap at gueux. Thanks!

So I have the default XIPs that I just got of #xbins, and I'm having a few problems here...

Then find under that:
CODE
m_nbuttons=3


Comment that out and add this under that:
CODE
SetTabsAmount();



I didn't find that line, but I found something similiar:
CODE

       function OnLeftThumbMoveUp()
       {
           if (nCurMainMenuItem > 0)
           {
               nCurMainMenuItem = nCurMainMenuItem - 1;
               if( m_nbuttons == 3)
               {
                   if( 2 == nCurMainMenuItem ) {nCurMainMenuItem = nCurMainMenuItem - 1; }
               }
               theMainMenuBackward.Play();
               UpdateMainMenu();
           }
       }

       function OnLeftThumbMoveDown()
       {
           if (nCurMainMenuItem < 3)
           {
               nCurMainMenuItem = nCurMainMenuItem + 1;
               if( m_nbuttons == 3 )
               {
                   if( 2 == nCurMainMenuItem ) { nCurMainMenuItem = nCurMainMenuItem + 1; }
               }
               theMainMenuForward.Play();
               UpdateMainMenu();
           }
       }
   }


But I don't particularly see WHAT to comment out. Do I comment out the m_buttons ==3 and add that, or do I comment out the whole if line? Or what?

Next problem:

   if(b.toLowerCase() == "3") { RefreshMenu("4"); }
   else if(b.toLowerCase() == "4") { RefreshMenu("3"); }
}



Didn't find that line at all...

I didn't bother going any further.

Is there something I'm missing here? Should I have something BEFORE this? Or do my file just suck?

I'm having the same problem, and nobody has replied to you in over a month, so I think I will just go and slit my wrists.
