Main Menu Changer

[spotUP]

Hmm... it has overwritten all.xml with categories.xml for me a couple of times now, why could that be?

please send me all the details of your setup... The Main menú changer exe should never overwrite other file than Main Menu.xml... MMCHQ could be... I'm have been away from this for a while. Just come back to HSBezel to add a debug log... Will probably do the same with MMC soon.

I use mmchq a lot so that's probably it.

Anywais have to fix that... Gonna check the code of mmchq.

Edit: Ohh yes... When you edit all.xml... With hyperhq or rlui it needs to be copied to main menu.xml... When you close the app and pick yes (save changes to all.xml) it is saved to all.xml again.

So if you open hyperspin before close rlui the main menu is replaced by categories.xml so hyperspin displays the categories... If you close rlui in this point and chose yes the main menu is saved as all.xml.

That's my theory... May have to put a flag to avoid save the XML in mmchq if you open hyperspin.

Did anyone ever create and post any themes for MMC?

Knewlife this is exactly what happens.

 

If you are using mmc, and open rlui, or hyperspinhq natively your Main menu will be loaded with the categories xml file. You must open hyperspinhq, or rlui from the MMChq program in order for it to read your all.xml file as main menu.

Yep thats nornal and the reason I create MMCHQ.

The problem here is All.xml being replaced by Categories.xml. I have to warm the user of this problem causedby open hyperhq/rlui and hyperspin at the same time. Don't have time now... maybe in a week or two.

Was there ever a starter xml that grouped consoles, arcades etc

 

Also....

 

Question I have a close all apps script when hyperspin closes. Is there a way to use the swapper and close all apps when hyperspin shuts all the way down?

Is there something special I need to do to get ghutches start up script to launch when using this? I modified the mclauncher ini and took out the ; in the ini so other apps equals the start up script which launches like 5 things. I notice it’s not launching it upon hyperspin load. 

 

Also so is there a way to get the randomizer working so I can stil use a random intro video each time I start hyperspin?

finally if I want the main menu to be like this, which mode is that?

console>all, Sega, Nintendo> System wheels

 

 

What option is it so it starts on the platform categories like console? Right now it starts on all systems. Also I can’t seem to auto start ghutch script which is in the launcher ini as other app without the ;

[ninja2bceen]

I think I need to be using mode 3 so I have it start with categories>list of games for each

Outstanding problems are
+ how do I randomize intro videos with this and how do I just display the intro video initially?

+whenever I select a category like consoles I see that hyperspin closes and I see my desktop then it opens again and plays the intro video again. How do I make it more seamless

+when I select consoles for example I get a new wheel but if I push hyperspin back button I see it close hyperspin and I see the desktop and it plays the intro video again to get back to the main menu

Overall I think what I’m asking is how do you only display intro video and hyperspeeches intro the one time at initial launch? And second how do I get the intro video randomizer to work so I have an new intro video at the time of launch. Note that when using hyperspin by itself randomizer video works great but with the beta here I’m not sure that it does? Advise?

I fixed the intro video from playing after each menu change by going through the wizard again to save my settings. There must have been a bad metadata save or something.

Remaining issues:
+randomizer isn’t working for intro videos at start up. How do I activate them again?

+ need an awesome loading screen between hyperspins

+sometimes between hyperspins hyperspeech will say “warning hyperspeech disconnected goodbye” but I don’t have that in my ini file for hyperspeech. Hyperspeech is still available upon the load of the second hyperspin though. How do I disable that?

I’ll be happy to share what I’ve added. Added 120 systems, categories are very high level and everything is ordered by year. Much work was done from the original example. Using mode 3 so you back up with back button not a back wheel selection

Anyone using randomizer, ghutch startup script and main menu changer? Seems like main menu changer updates hyper hq setting and always updated the exit program in hyper hq. Randomizer with parameter 1 is where that used to be and would randomizer the video but now I can’t seem to move that parameter and exe to the start up script to retain the functionality. Any thoughts

Hey mate,

I build an extra option for you in HyperSpeech so you can disable the Hyperspin check.
HyperSpeech closes when it does not detect Hyperspin running, for whatever reason.
I made an override for this, hoping this will help you out.
Check you PM.

Cheers!

Anyone figure out how to set up a wheel like this

1. manufacture
2. Then a list of them like Nintendo
3.Then when you select Nintendo it shows all systems that are Nintendo

I can get the first and last one set up but I’m unclear about the second one

alright all, I've uploaded all the work done to make main menu changer work for mode 3 within the 3rd party apps section. Lots of work needed to be done to stream line it and list of updates are below

+You'll find the main menu database folder in it, supports 120 systems and hypersearch on all wheels!
+An updated hyperspeech thanks to boogieman so that siri doesn't yell at you each time you close hyperspin that connection was lost.
+Created 2 alternative gif files for main menu loader.
+Added the wheels I created and themes that were non bakerman related. You can get his category themes from launchbox.
+Updated the randomizer so the intro video only launches on the first launch and it still randomizes the video.
+Finally with all these hyperspins opening and closing the system tray was getting a lot of orphan icons so I got a script to deal with that and upon closing hyperspin, you should only have 1 set of orphan icons which I don't think there is any way around cleaning that up unless you physically run the exe again manually or hover over the system tray

Problems solved...Never mind.

[jevansoh]

By the way, I downloaded Ninja's 150mb package and unzipped it into my MainMenuChanger folder so I'm using all his files and examples if that matters.

Problem solved...Never mind.

[jevansoh]

Ok, I got my problems figured out...  At least the ones above.

I have two remaining issues now.

I can't figure out how to get Ninja's file loaded for killing the icons.  It's not working.  I use the HS Startup Script, or at least I used to, but now I don't know if it's being loaded or not, or if it's being loaded over and over as I don't know how or if it is being exited and started over every time HS is restarted due to the way MainMenuChanger works.  I'm confused on this.

Plus, my desktop is showing in between starts of HS.  If I could get these two problems fixed, I'd be good to go!

Thanks,

I can't get the script for orphan icons to work at all.

Where should it be called?  Is the startup script still being loaded each time HS is started?  It's closed and opened so much now, I don't know how that works.  Should I add it to the startup script?  I'm confused on this one.

Thanks,

I'm having a VERY frustrating problem.

I accidentally forgot to put a </game> tag in my main menu.xml file so it said invalid main menu.xml file and wouldn't load.

I fixed the problem, loaded it up, and it worked.  Then I exited and went back in and the problem was there again.  I looked at my xml file and sure enough, the </game> tag was gone!  It keeps getting deleted.

So I thought I'd fix that by setting the file to read only, but when I set it to read only, it doesn't work at all!

What in the world is causing this?  It's never going to work right if it keeps overwriting my changes and deleting that tag but I don't know what is doing it or why??

Thanks,

--Jason

[jevansoh]

It now appears it is overwriting the mainmenu.xml file with the categories.xml file!

So glad I kept a backup of the file, but when I use that backup and overwrite it, it just works once then goes right back to saying main menu.xml is invalid, because it's been overwritten with the categories.xml file!

What do I do?

[jevansoh]

I should mention, this only happens when I go to the Consoles category.  All other categories and everything else works fine.

[jevansoh]

Now my main menu.xml file is being overwritten.  I put the right one in the directory, load the system one time, then exit and it exits back to "all" which is what is copied over my main menu.xml file.

If I could just figure out why it is copying all to main menu.xml and get it to stop that, I'd be in good shape with everything working.

I don't know what to do and unfortunately, the programmer/creator said he's too busy and is no longer supporting the program so unless someone here knows what I can do, I'm afraid I won't be able to use this and I'm so close after working on this all day.
