Wow! Rev number are really going up fast!!
XEX Parsing is mostly completely integrated!
Lots of stuff going on with the XEX (this is the current status, may totally change in 2.0 release)
XEX ressource is extracted to \fsdata\{gameid}\xexress.bin
String ressources are extracted go \fsdata\{gameid}\strings\{languageid}.str
Achievement icons are extracted to \fsdata\{gameid}\achievement\achievement-{achievementid}.png
An achievement xml is created containing Achievement Name, Description, Unachieved name, gamer cred, and image path. Achievement name, description and unachived name are extracted from the string ressources file.
\fsdata\{gameid}\xml\xml.xsrc is the gzip compress xlast xml file. Didnt spent time to uncompress it on xbox as not all game have it (old games like amped 3 does not have it) and i wanted to have a way to get the most out of every game.
\fsdata\{gameid}\unused\* are know file format that are of no use currently. There is contextstringsmap.bin(XCXT) which is a string map to contextual string (mostly point to unused strings...). Imagefilename.bin (XITB) which is the filename of png files, we are not using this as we standardise the filename depending on the image id. propertiesstringsmap.bin (XPRP) which map to some string that are mostly blank (DEFAULT, Insert display string here...). TitleId.bin (XTHD) which is the game title id. The unknow parts are in \fsdata\{gameid}\unknowdata\*
Those are currently kept for development purpose.
\fsdata\{gameid}\gamerpic\* are available gamerpic for this game (included in the xex, not the downloadable one)
One thing i learned with doing the xex extraction code : pragma pack is used to changed to word alignment of struct. Dont use this on xbox! If you include a source file that declare pragma pack more than once, even if you #pragma once, xbox will throw EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT which really makes you go berserk when trying to understand the problem!.
----------
Debugger is currently going in major redesign!
We now have a filtering feature, so can see only the commands we need! ie : only the modules you are working on
Skin deployment is syncing only the files that were modified
View is a datalistview instead of listview, which provide better performance.
------------
What probably interest you the most, skin update :
Game name + game icon extracted from xex.
Game list filled with game icon + game name extracted from xex. Font does have trouble rendering special char.
Using game background downloaded from internet.
New about menu.
There's still some missing info.
Surprise! :) (This is still only really experimental!!)
It gets you to the skin customization screen. You can choose background, stage, turn off animations..
Hitting Y will get you into the skin "Edit Mode"
Hit A to Edit the current tab. First options is the tab background.
Change it to the color you prefer.
Then the Text and Reflection text color
And then, the reflection background color.
Changes are now applied to the current tab.
If you dont wont to customise every single tab, you can apply to current menu or to the complete dash with the push of a button
Or you can randomize every single tab!
Finally done! Saved changed and back to dash with your new tabs color!
