this is an info panel i came up with, i felt the others crouded the screen too much having info and clock seperate.
full credit goes out to the original creators of the info panels, i just copy and pasted most of there code.

music
disc type
ip address
disc space
cpu temp

paste at the very bottom of default.xip/default.xap

CODE

Then find:

CODE

function MusicPlayerPlay()
{
theMusicPlayer.url = "st:" + theMusicCollection.GetSoundtrackSongID( currentAlbum, currentTrack );
log("Playing " + theMusicPlayer.url);
DisableAmbientAudio();
theMusicPlayer.Play();
}

and add another line so it looks like this:

CODE

function MusicPlayerPlay()
{
theMusicPlayer.url = "st:" + theMusicCollection.GetSoundtrackSongID( currentAlbum, currentTrack );
log("Playing " + theMusicPlayer.url);
DisableAmbientAudio();
theMusicPlayer.Play();
if (nDisplayNum == 1) { ChangeDisplay(); }
}

next find

CODE

var currentAlbum;
var currentTrack;

and put this under:

CODE

var nDisplayNum;

scroll down a few lines to find:

CODE

currentAlbum = 0;
currentTrack = 0;

and add this right after:

CODE

nDisplayNum = 1;

now find:

CODE

control DEF theMainMenuJoy Joystick
{

and put this after that slash

CODE

function OnLeftThumbDown()
{
PlaySoundB();
nDisplayNum = nDisplayNum + 1;
ChangeDisplay();
}

function OnRightThumbDown()
{
PlaySoundB();
nDisplayNum = nDisplayNum - 1;
ChangeDisplay();
}

another thing i like to use is this:

CODE

that code will alow you to change track when in music panel and launch disc when in disc type by pressing the Y button

now open main_menu.xip/default.xap and paste this at the very bottom

you also need to copy these files from the memory.xip file and paste them into main_menu.xip

MEM_L1_panel_meta-FACES.xm
MEM_L1_panel_metasupport-FACES.xm
MU_panel_backing-FACES.xm

now you need to use files from comm build and paste them in the album covers directory. the files needed are:

dvdaudio.xbx
dvdempty.xbx
dvdtitle.xbx
dvdunknown.xbx
dvdvideo.xbx

others are custom files but you can just copy and rename dvdempty.xbx to:

harddisc.xbx
info.xbx
ipaddy.xbx

and thats SHOULD be it

good luck

its seems it wont let imageshack host
you will have to take away the dash's from imageshack to view files..

would it be possible to post up the screen shots again?

screen shots work fine remove the '-' from before and after 'imageshack'

Jan 11 2006, 07:21 PM

in an attempt to resolve the non displaying ip adress, cpu temp and free disk space i modified the code

i changed

CODE

function OnLeftThumbDown()
{
         PlaySoundB();
  nDisplayNum = nDisplayNum + 1;
  ChangeDisplay();

to

CODE

function OnLeftThumbDown()
{
         PlaySoundB();
  TogglenDisplayNum();
  ChangeDisplay();

and added

CODE

function TogglenDisplayNum
}
var c = theMainMenu.children[0].children[0];
if (b.toLowerCase() == "1") { RefreshMenu("2"); }
else if (b.toLowerCase() == "2") { RefreshMenu("3"); }
else if (b.toLowerCase() == "3") { RefreshMenu("4"); }
else if (b.toLowerCase() == "5") { RefreshMenu("6"); }
else if (b.toLowerCase() == "6") { RefreshMenu("1"); }
{

to the bottom of default .xap

does this code belong in config.xap/main menu.xip, or is it flawed? can someone with experience of uix code tell me?

Little-G

Jan 14 2006, 11:41 AM

why is no one willing to spend a minute or two to help? im sure someone can help me

t1x2irc2

Jan 14 2006, 03:28 PM

i really haven't look through the whole code

but my guess would be

you want default.xip/config.xap

or

default.xip/default.xap

let me know if that works 4 ya

non displaying ip adress, cpu temp and free disk space ?

if u r talking about the images i can post them if you would like...
also while im here...

Jan 16 2006, 08:15 PM

how are you selecting those? i have the same issue as ih8ny4ever it reboots after pressing left thumb twice

Dazza

Jan 16 2006, 10:01 PM

It should not be too difficult to get this working....

The code states that you need to create these 3 files

harddisc.xbx
info.xbx
ipaddy.xbx

Have you done that?

Mine would not work so I went through and commented out all of the references to a:/ and that fixed it.

Jan 17 2006, 06:46 AM

Anyone care to help me wright the rest of this. I have thought on it, but cannot seem to figure it out. Here is what I am trying to acomplish

Under config.xap/default.xip

section function BuildMainList()

below
configList[i] = "Music Initial Volume:";
configValues[i] = "c-Music On Boot-volume";
configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
i = i + 1;

add
configList[i] = "Show Info Panel:";
configValues[i] = "c-Info Panel-show infopanel";
configSelect[i] = "ToggleShowInfoPanel()";
i = i + 1;

I am basically trying to duplicate the idea of the use xbe names look, but instead, to activate/deactivate the info panel. Any help would be appricated.

All you should realy have to do is replace

CODE

function ApplyDashStyle()
{

with

CODE

then in your config mode you should just change the "ToggleShowInfoPanel()" to "ToggleTF()" so it looks like

CODE

configList[i] = "Show Info Panel:";
configValues[i] = "c-Info Panel-show infopanel";
configSelect[i] = "ToggleTF()";
i = i + 1;

Make sure you got the uix.ini set up so it can find the info.

BUT! It's been well over a year since I've scripted for 01.03.05 SO! if this doesn't work... then it's something very similar

I think the .isvisible would be the problem if anything and the fact that Im not sure if theMainMenuClock is the entire panel. You might have to add some c.thewhateverisstillshowingup.isvisible = false; untill you get everything off the screen. If this don't work then use it for ideas on which way you should go. GL

shank-

Feb 6 2006, 01:29 AM

i dont understand what you are trying to accomplish but if it is to change the visability of the panel here is what i use

put this ontop of :
function OnYDown()

CODE

Odb718

Feb 6 2006, 04:22 AM

yeah he wants the ini to controll if the panel is visible on boot up.
but that'd be good so if he's in the main menu and the ini has it set to off then he can see it if he wants.

blondiegoth

Feb 20 2006, 06:32 AM

Hey guys,

I played arround enough to get this to work my way (using the ini to determine if info panel should be shown on boot). Here is the code for it incase anyone else wants it this way.

In default.xip/default.xap

look for:

CODE

theMusicPlayer.volume = c;
}

and insert this below it

CODE

then look for:

CODE

c.Main_memory_ringpin_4.SetTranslation(57.430000, -23.379999, 101.500000);
}
MusicOnBootCheck();

and insert this below it:

CODE

showinfo();

Move to the default.xip/config.xap

find this section:

CODE

configList[i] = "Music Initial Volume:";
    configValues[i] = "c-Music On Boot-volume";
    configSelect[i] = "ConfigKeyB()";
    i = i + 1;

and insert this below it

CODE

configList[i] = "Show Info Panel:";
    configValues[i] = "c-Show Info Panel-visible";
    configSelect[i] = "ToggleTF()";
    i = i + 1;

and finally, insert this at the bottom of your uix.ini file

CODE

[Show Info Panel]
visible=true

Hope this helps at least one person out. I had fun digging through it.

P.S.

Thanks Shank. I left your onXdown function in my code as well for on the fly changes. It wasn't really an interest at first, but I kinda like it now.
