September 25 2003 Media X Menu 0.9n.5 Please stop by the forums at Xbox-Scene.com to report any issues in the MXM forum. Tutorials located at: http://www.writersgallery.com/MXM/TUT Short Version- [*] Revamped the FTP Server. More robust. [*] ActionScripts - Think "DOS Batch Language" on steroids. [*] Partition Formatting [*] G: Support [*] PAL/NTSC switching with PAL60 support and independent Region Selection [*] Built in "Recovery Disc" support for NEW Hard Drives. If run from a CD-RW or DVDR/RW, upon detecting a "fresh" unformatted HD, MXM will offer to format the partitions and then copy the contents of CBackup, EBackup, FBackup, and GBackup, if present, to their respective drives. [*] Fixed numerous annoying bugs [*] Added time offset for time synchronization [*] Fanspeed support in ActionScripts See below for complete list. Beta 0.9n.5 (Bug Fixes) [*] Fixed Music Enable [*] Checked Enable Global Music - works on my test machine [*] Added "Enable Network" to configuration menus. [*] Explaination of the <Action> tag to add your own "Systme" commands to the 'regular' menus: Instead of defining an "Exe" You define an Action for the item: <Item> <Action>trayopen</Action> <Title>Open DVD Tray</Title> <Thumbnail>::ICO_ACTION</Thumbnail> <Media>::ICO_ACTION</Media> </Item> Actions currently available: - ResetMenuCache - trayopen - trayclose - reboot - shutdown - PowerCycle More will follow [*] Totally new FTP server code. Should be no more hangups... you can now ABOR during transfers. [*] Recognizes "G:" drive [*] Toggle for "Action..." menu (Formarly "System..." but confusing name with "Y" menu) [*] Hard drive Formatting! - SITE commands: FORMAT C: FORMAT E: FORMAT F: FORMAT G: FORMAT X: FORMAT Y: FORMAT Z: Of course, use these at your own risk!! As usual, these SITE commands can also be used in ACTION menu items Requires a toggle of the configuration menu (Misc settings) before first usage. [*] Drive-related Strings have "G" equivalents now. [*] Conditionals: cdrivepresent, edrivepresent, fdrivepresent, gdrivepresent [*] Added "not" attribute to conditionals, for testing OPPOSITE condition. To use, set not="true" i.e.: <condition not="true">GDrivePresent</condition> [*] Added "fanspeed" gadget string. [*] Added ATTR <FileOrDir> ro|rw CHMOD 777 <FileOrDir> (This command is compatible with FlashFXP's "Attributes" action) LaunchDVD EEPROMBackup [Filename] (Backs up EEPROM contents, encrypted, to a file, file defaults to "eeprom.bin" in current directory) EEPROMRestore [Filename] (Restores EEPROM contents, encrypted, from a file, file defaults to "eeprom.bin" in current directory) MKDIR <PATH> RMDIR <PATH> <CASCADE> CD <PATH> (GUI only, sets default directory, which starts as MXM's path) COPY <Path/File/Wildcard> <Path/File> RENAME <FileOrPath> <FileOrPath> DELETE <File> :<Label> GOTO <Label> SYSTEMMENU <Activate|Hide|Unhide|ActivateFull> MESSAGEBOX <message> (Displays a message box AFTER script is done executing, or if used between BeginDraw and EndDraw, renders a message box) SET <VarName> <Value> ADD <VarName> <Value> SUB <VarName> <Value> DIV <VarName> <Value> MULT <VarName> <Value> IF <arg1> <op> <arg2> goto <label> -<op>: - = - > - < - >= - <= - != or <> - ## (True if LValue contains RValue) - #^ (Same as ##, but case insensitive) - !## (True if LValue doesn't contain RValue) - !#^ (Same as !##, but case insensitive) IF# (Used to evaluate numerically) SETFANSPEED <Manual|Default> <speed> SETFUNC <VarName> <Function> <Function Arguments> -Functions: - XBETITLE <FileName> - XBEID <FileName> - FILESIZE <FileOrPath> - FILEEXIST <FileOrPath> - PATHEMPTY <Path> - LEFT <Count> <Text> - RIGHT <Count> <Text> - MID <Count> <Length> <Text> - SPACE <Count> - REPEAT <Count> <Text> - LENGTH <Text> - TRIM <Text> - TRIMLEFT <Text> - TRIMRIGHT <Text> - LOWER <Text> - UPPER <Text> - CONDITION or COND <conditional> (Sets value to 1 or 0, depending on state of skin conditional) - !CONDITION of !COND <conditional> EXEC <xbe> [<args>] BEGINDRAW [USeCurrent] (Starts rendering a screen, "UseCurrent" grabs the previously rendered screen to display) ENDDRAW (Displays screen) INPUT (See ActionScript ReadMe for details on return variables set) CALLFILE <file> <Args...> CALLSCRIPT <name> <Args...> BOX <X> <Y> <Width> <Height> [<Color>] [<BorderColor>] TEXT <X> <YTOP> <CENTER|LEFT|RIGHT> <Text> [<Color>] ALLOWFORMAT <1|0> MOUNT <Drive:> [<DevicePartitionPath>] DATE <Day> <Month> <Year> TIME <00:00> DELAY <Delay Sec> DELAYMS <Delay ms> [*] Add "CherryPatch" - Yes, Thank you Cherry for your PAL/NTSC code. It's EEPROM safe, so you should be OK with a simple reboot. With this patch, the PAL/PAL60/NTSC switching code is reimplemented!! It's improved, though, as there is now support for PAL60 and USA/JAP/EUR region coding as well. [*] ActionScripts can be loaded internally from the MXM.xml file - define them in a <Scripts> node, with each script: <ActionScript name=somename"> ...script here... </ActionScript> and <ActionScriptLoad name=somename">loadable.xas</ActionScriptLoad> Loads form the disk, relative to the MXM.xml file [*] MXM will execute "AutoExec" scripts - 1) First, it runs an internally defined script, _AutoExec 2) It runs a user-defined script, AutoExec, as defined in the MXM.xml 3) If it exists, it will run "AutoExec.xas" from the MXM directory. [*] Colors can either be the named versions, or ARGB values (0xFF001122, for example) [*] Special ActionScript symbols, $eol$, $lt$ and $gt$ [*] Fixed passcode usage with SubMenus and ActionScripts. Also cleaned up rendering so the passcode is not revealed once passed by the fade-in. [*] Cleaned up the way the Dashboards menu option works. Much nicer now ;) [*] Added "DVD Player Preference" to select a preferred player (Default, X2, or M$) [*] Users can add "Context menus" for games. These are actionscripts defined in a <Context> node in MXM.xml - The scripts have some awareness of the currently selected game, and can act on them. [*] Added "TimeSynch Offset" in hours for those using non-local time servers.
