Hi,
Since the blades in MC360 were not as easy to configure as I hoped, I started searching for some other easy-access-menuus. Ofcourse the SubPanels (or whaterver they're called) are easy menuus to configure. Once I noticed that MC360 doesn't contain DialogSubMenu.xml I could easily edit that file and add it to MC360 in the PAL map. Since DialogSubMenu.xml is connected to SubMenu (read: XBMC.ActivateWindow(SubMenu)) it was easy to implement it.

I now have a menu with custom buttons. I made a scripts menu of the panel but ofcourse you can do anything with it.
I filled the whole menu with buttons and set some to be invisible. Set <visible> to 'yes' and you can use them. This also goes for the Dividers.

For easy use I added the <four> button in Keymap.xml and connected it to XBMC.ActivateWindow(SubMenu)

Download:
* DialogSubMenu.xml

Note: some buttons are already filled in and direct to my own scripts. Ofcourse these buttons will not work while you haven't installed the scripts yet.

Edit Keymap.xml in the UserData map.
What I did, was assign XBMC.ActivateWindow(SubMenu) to the button "4" on my remote.
Looks like this:
<four>XBMC.ActivateWindow(SubMenu)</four>

Ofcourse you can assign it to any button you want.

After adding that, restart XBMC and it should work. As simple as that.
After you have visual of it, you can start editting the buttons in DialogSubMenu.xml to your likings. Good luck!


Owh, and the scripts can be found on XBMCScripts

Thanks mate just got this and set the buttons up and goes sweet. Look at my screenshot here: Screenshots

very interesting work, jelle-e!

Fantastic!

Thanks J, I've tweaked this to my liking and it works brilliant, just the thing I was looking for!

On a sidenote, If you add you got yourself a minute timer, for pizzas in the oven or whatever, comes in handy a lot

Thanks again!

in the marketplace mod, i have a script that will edit the dialogsubmenu so you don't have to keep uploading a new dialogsubmenu. if you don't want the whole mod, i think all you need is the script and some gfx files.

how do u change the decription of the buttons?

with the script or in the xml?

So it might just be my xbox but when I first open this puppy up I can scroll up all I want but if I scroll down I can go down till I reach the 3rd from the bottom then I can't scroll down to the last 2, it's a little annoying. So if anyone could help it would be much appreciated. And also can I just get the script manturafs speaks of by itsself or do I have to download the mod and just take it out of there?

You probably need to change the <onup> and <ondown> tags with the <id> you want them to go to. Just take a look at the tags I mentioned and you'll figure it out

one of you mind posting a working pic of what this mod looks like? thanks

It looks just like the blade that comes up when you click the right thumbstick, but with different options.

This is with the glass theme, but you should get the picture

I really don't think you could have picked a worse imagehosting service to use.

why thanks for that constructive comment!

Is this the same menu like in manaturafs mod with a different way of editing it and accessing it, or a complete different submenu?

does the submenu editor thats with the marketplace mod work with this submenu?

i have just manually edited the file and added my own shortcuts but when i press up or down it wont go above 4 up the list?

sorry sorted it:s

it's the same file, but probably not the same submenu. the dialogsubmenu in mine is specially formatted so that it works with the SME to edit it from the xbox. you can just use mine and it's the same thing.
