CXMB Manager BETA 1
[Image: 153oaj9.gif]

Here is something I wrote, because I was starting to accumulate so many .CTF themes, trying to sort through them in the XMB was starting to become a chore...

---------------------------------
      WHAT IS IT ?
---------------------------------
- The purpose of CXMB Manager is to make the cataloging, and sorting, of your CXMB theme files easier.
----------------------------------------------
     WHAT DOES IT DO ?
----------------------------------------------
- Allows you to store unlimited CTF themes.
- Allows full screen previews
- Fully functional favorites list. (Add, remove, ect...)
- Does not interfere with being able to apply ctf themes in xmb
- Allows importing of custom_theme.dat from Flash1
- Allows information to be stored/diplayed for each theme
----------------------------------------------------
       HOW DO I SET IT UP ?
----------------------------------------------------
Set up is pretty easy.

- Theme previews are placed in the "ms0:/CXMB_Manager/CTF_Previews/ * NAME OF THEME/"
- Preview folder MUST be named EXACTLY as the .ctf theme it represents (minus the .CTF extension)
  so if you wanted to set a a preview folder for "SchmediaCenter2009.CTF" you would name the folder "SchmediaCenter2009"
- If you would like a preview to show up for that theme, you need to place a 480x272 preview pic in .PNG format.  Otherwise, it will just show up "No Preview".
- If you want the wallpaper to show up for a particular theme, you need to place the corresponding custom_theme.dat file for that theme in the preview folder.
  To obtain the custom_theme.dat file, you just apply the theme from the XMB, then boot up CXMB Manager, and select the theme you want, and select the "Import custom_theme.dat option"
  This only needs to be done once...
- If you would like store/view information for a theme, just fill out the info.txt file included, and place it in the theme preview folder.
  You can then view the info while viewing the theme in CXMB Manager.
------------------------------------------------
        SPECIAL NOTES
------------------------------------------------
- This program checks to see if all the required .prx files are set up properly for CXMB to run.
  If they are not, the program will refuse to start.
- If you do not place a preview pic in the theme preview folder, that's OK.
  But the theme will just show as "no preview" in the program
- Can't think of anything else right now - if you have comments/questions you can email me

RE: CXMB Manager BETA 1
I was thinking about adding a Password Protected theme category in the main menu.

This way, if you have themes you don't want the kids to see...    :P

Damn! Game Categories plugin won't work with CXMB Manager BETA 1 because of the hardcoded paths!

RE: CXMB Manager BETA 1
Just leave it in uncategorized for now.

Or edit the scripts to the path you have stored it in.  (It's written in Lua, and I did not compile it)
