FSD 2.0 r410 Screnshot
















Default background is back. Some experimentation with stats display (ScnSystemInfo)
Screenshot function is still messed, but sometime takes a nice looking picture if we time it right!

Current FSD 2.0 Status

Current 2.0 Status :
Its been a while since I gave some info about freestyle dash 2.0 status.

Since SVN was made private, we went in a total reconstruction phase. We are reworking every single line of code.

Reconstruction is doing great and we are now almost on par with what you last saw (r215) but gamelist is still not working.

I reintegrated working settings this morning as well as the GameQuickView (the background and slot image I posted earlier)

We still need to completely rewrite ScnGames (the game list) as original code is a total mess, and content indexing is in our latest revision but will be totally reworked too.

Here's the current draft of how we're thinking of doing it :
The contentlist.xml will only contain game id, game path and "per games" settings (is favorite, last played on...).
Everything else will be stored in the data structure :
\FsdData\GameId\Background.jpg
\FsdData\GameId\Description.txt and so on.

Here's a screenshot of today's build (r404) :









 



As you can see, the screenshot feature is pretty much broken now as we totally rewrote the way we were rendering the skin and we do need to fix the screenshot code now :P
 
You may notice that I use Fight Night Round 4 to test the display feature as the NXEART of the game is soft of invalid... The background included in nxeart is a png renamed as jpg, and xui image totally hate this (memory leak and random crash).

Old Freestyle Dash 2.0 screenshots

Here's som "Old" Freestyle Dash 2.0 screenshots :
This is what happen when you put a game in the xbox. The background and slot art are extracted from nxeart or downloaded from the internet if no nxe art is available. Skins can disable the background if you dont like to have it.
