@DeViL303 HA I knew that was you in the comments of the vid! yeah man go ahead and add them! no problem. Its your app I just added some drizzle :) I am actually working on 2 more variants a nice deep brillant purple and a yellow/gold type color. I should have it done by tomorrow or the next day at the latest...

and thanks for all that info!!! freakin sweet man. I already pasted it to my files. and I will look it over in more detail here soon....I just have alot of things going on.

One thing I'd like to ask tho, if it isn't to much, that installer, everybody uses it for so many things and its great...but I'd like to change the color of the fonts. All these years every time I see it being used the fonts in the menu are always yellow. I would like to change them so I can make light colored backgrounds and with a dark color font the words will be easier to see.

where in the eboot of the installer is the color for the font located? I now it sounds kinda noobie but
im still kinda novice with editing/creating eboots. But I can do the basics

Thanks again for all of the info above! im excited ...can't wait to start messing with it:eagerness:

Imo you would be much better off modifying graphics.cpp & recompiling the installer.
https://github.com/XMB-Manager-Plus/xmb-manager-plus-installer/blob/master/source/graphics.cpp
Look at this function, no need to understand the C specifics to modify the colours...
Code: 
u32 menu_text_color(int current, int selected, int choosed, int backups, int menu1_restore)
{
	if (backups==0 && menu1_restore!=0) return COLOR_GREY;
	else if (current==selected)
	{
		if (choosed==1) return COLOR_RED;
		else return COLOR_YELLOW;
	}
	else return COLOR_WHITE;
}
Of course, you may want to make other changes, look at the source & if you are not sure about something, just ask...
For info, the project requires psl1ght sdk so if you don't have it already, download the sdk rar archive from this mirror https://mega.nz/#!LFRiCKra!5S9W979kC04iurLM1wr8mhHCQw8LpsNGFk336w1GTbg or get a zip from one of the various github repos like https://github.com/Estwald/PSDK3v2.
There is no configuration to do with psl1ght, once extracted at the root of your c: drive, the sdk will work straight away... But if ever you use another path to extract the sdk then you would need to edit the PSDK3v2\MinGW\msys\1.0\etc\profile file to modify the line "export PS3SDK="/c/PSDK3v2"" with the appropriate path.

That will be an issue in this version as those text labels are contained in the explore full rco, they need to be done like this for these download items and there is no other way unfortunately . so with current setup all new icon packs would have the title "other icons" . I have an idea that involves adding a mini package installer item that looks in a custom location with only icon packages. I will show how that could work later today.

EDIT: btw that wasn't me that told you about the yellow text, I would not have known how to do that. :)

@Zoilus : So I have implemented this new way to change the icon sets, I think its better for a few reasons, it makes it a lot easier for others to add new icons sets, and this way they are stored locally which makes swapping them quicker/simpler, and no internet required this way.

What I did was change the icons set section so now instead of it being the class:
Code: 
class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap"

it is now:
Code: 
class="type:x-xmb/xmlpackagefolder"

Then I changed the item to this:
Code: 
<View id="change_icons_items">
 <Items>
 <Query class="type:x-xmb/xmlpackagefolder" key="icons_sets" src="host://localhost/q?path=/dev_hdd0/game/CFWEXTRAS/USRDIR/RESOURCES/ICON_SETS&suffix=.pkg&subclass=x-host/package" />
 </Items>
 </View>

So now instead of it showing more XMB items, it queries that folder directly for pkg files and will only show pkg files. There was one other small edit required to do this, adding this line due to the way pkg folders are handled.
Code: 
<Pair key="child"><String>segment</String></Pair>

I have decided to release an update with this modified feature included. This will be the only change so for anyone who is not swapping the icon sets there is not much point updating.

@DeViL303 I like this a lot better! so to install this 1.01 is it as simple as deleting 1.0 via xmb then installing this one and running option #1 ??

If I already have 1.0 CFW Category installed and some stuff installed into the categories is that ok? Or do I need to go back to stock via option #2 in version 1.0 then deleting v1.0 and THEN stalling v1.01 and installing option 1 ?

thanks

Yeah, You can just install over v1.00, and then just select option 1, and it doesn't matter what you have enabled, that will stay enabled and all work the same. Its handy that way.
 
hey @DeViL303 ... Somebody asked a question that I didn't think about, I know that installing this takes away the webman games folder and of course you can install it back...but how about the sMAN folder? Im guessing without looking at the xml that it doesn't but I just want to be sure. thanks !!
 
Not sure about sMANs XMB entry tbh, I assumed they both read from the same game entries. I will look into it. It wont be a problem to add another item for sMAN anyway.
 
just installed the 1.01 version. It looks really nice and i like all the configuration options available.

i don't know if you update the app package links for NoPSN statically or not, but the newly patched Amazon and Hulu packages could probably be added to the XMB Package Downloader.

nice work man! :welcoming:
 
Cheers, good idea, been meaning to get back to this, few things on the list now.

  • Release Arabic language.
  • Add sMAN XMB entry as an optional item in Game and CFW Extras categories.
  • Add Launchpad XMB entry as an optional item in Game and CFW Extras categories.
  • Add icon packs.
  • Update XMBPD pkgs.
  • Some other "Extras" ;)
 
when i try using the update function (XMB Package Downloader -> Settings -> Update XMBPD) it tries loading "http://localhost/install.ps3?url=http://xmbmods.co/XMBPD_Content/XMBPD_LATEST.pkg" and displays an "Object not found!" error on page. I am using a proxy, but other pages load fine. Just a heads up in case you wanted to check it out or maybe it's just my setup. If I initiate this URL from PC browser using "http://169.254.173.78/install.ps3?url=http://xmbmods.co/XMBPD_Content/XMBPD_LATEST.pkg" it loads on the PS3 what I assume is normally, displaying the download progress dialog.

I am running Rebug 4.81.2 DEX while testing

You probably already know but as you did not say, I have to ask, do you have the latest webMAN-MOD running? If not, the download feature will not work...
Very soon we will be able to use xai_plugin to manage downloads & install pkg via xml but for now wmm is your only option.
 
lol, yeah it is indeed running! :redface new:

EDIT #1: actually, let me double-check!

EDIT #2: Yes! lol I actually read your response wrong the first time and thought you were saying if WMM is running the DL will not work, not the other way around.....that minor dyslexia threw me off!! or it was the joint :confused3:

This is normal behavior when using proxy. No idea which proxy you are using but you need to find setting like "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" or add 127.0.0.1 , localhost to "No proxy", etc.
 
@DeViL303 XMBPD just updated like a ghost :eek:

I didn't know it auto-updated! nice job on that! ;)

EDIT: After clicking reboot (XMB Package Downloader -> Settings -> Reboot PS3), it kicked me into recovery. I just pressed PS Button and it went back to XMB normally though

hmm, I haven't updated XMBPD yet...not sure what happened there. :)

Not sure about the reboot either, it shouldn't do that. Maybe your xai plugin is disabled, that can cause that behaviour if its called on but disabled (not exactly sure why this happens tbh).
 
Installed a addon to extra instead of game and the disable addon isn't working. Is there a way to delete it so i can put it on a different section in xmb?
