I just have one question. How cool is Dash2gam?

I have recently discovered how to make my own custom meshes for my dash. My question is this: Is there a material that is not transparent that allows for just a simple flat texturing? I have been using the ReflectSurface material and it looks good, but I want more variety in my objects. I like transparent, but some things look better solid. Thanks.

thanks kanaberra, that's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for, some sort of visual reference to show me what code refers to what part. Now I have a better idea of what to color. While you're at it, could you post the code I would need to use my own mesh in the Xbox orb? and where I change the code, i.e. mainmenu.xip or whatever. If you have time. Thanks.

Dash2GAM rules! There hadn't been a post on this thread in a while, so... By the way, what item in the Color scheme controls the text on the menus? For example, I have a color scheme that has light blue text on items that are not selected, so what would I change in the color.ini file to change that? And what would I change for the selected item text? Thanks.

I think I might know a way around the FTP D Drive problem. After reading your posts on Xbox-Scene forums and here, mintoman, I decided to fire up the dash with something in D drive to see if I had the same problem as you. The Drive letters are listed like this: C DVD E F G MUSIC TDATA UDATA So, I clicked on "DVD", thinking that it would open the dvd folder. Lo and behold, I had the same problem as you, when I click on "DVD" it says "Path not found." Since that message indicates that the path, i.e. "DVD", is not valid, I decided to type in just "D", since that is the standard path for the DVD drive, and I was able to access it. So, if you want to access the D drive, you have to type in D manually. I don't use Flash FXP, so I don't know how you would do that with that particular software, but there must be a place to input a path. I am sure that the 2G Collective will come up with a proper fix for this, whatever the problem is, but for now if you want to access the DVD-ROM drive, you must type in "D" as the path. "DVD" doesn't seem to work, at least for some people. If any of my information is incorrect, I am sure someone will let me know. Hope this helps.

Before I ask my question, let me just say that it is great that you guys have made an English thread when most English forums wouldn't extend the same courtesy to non-English speaking people. Thanks very much for this! I was wondering if the button highlight for the music control panel is a texture, or if it is controlled with the colors.ini file. The White/Chrome color scheme from the 2GAM skin works very well for me, but for some reason the highlight on these buttons is almost imperceptible. I only know what button is selected by pushing it and seeing what happens. Thanks for the help. By the way, I tried UIX this morning... I think I will be sticking with Dash2GAM. Also, I wasn't too impressed with the fact that in a news item on Xbox-Scene they listed "oh yeah and its not FRENCH!" as one of their features. For one thing, Dash2GAM has english help files available, and secondly, they seem to imply that if something is French that it is a bad thing. Just seems a bit unprofessional.

This is from the config_pro_eng. [ConfigMusic] 1=oui/non .................... Activate the Background Music If by this you mean that you had other music files besides standard Xbox soundtracks, as far as I know Dash2GAM does not support other music sources besides Xbox soundtracks. But I may be wrong.
