psxplace :P

Well you need to own the domain for hosting the xmls, but that would work

What exactly have You patched?

.
Just figured out a cool patch, well kind of cool as a POC, Not really useful right now.

I patched the sprx in a different way now, and I can now use the NP Environment field in debug settings to tell it the domain to looks for the xml on.

Lucky I have a short domain as the box only allows for 8 characters So no chance for "psx-place" sorry, its 9.

FYI: we have 4 domains (the other 3 re-direct to psx-place.com)
http://psx-place.com
http://psxplace.com
http://psx-place.net
http://psxplace.net

Well you need to own the domain for hosting the xmls, but that would work

we do in .net and ,com see above

What exactly have You patched?

The patch that allows me to put in my own domain in debug settings you mean? that is done by making it so rest of link is in sprx, so this is original prx unedited:

Those are 3 URLS that i patched to be my own in patched sprx i posted for psx-place news,

But to make it so i can enter my own domain in debug settings, I change it so this first variable (%s) in URL becomes whole domain, see here, this is the variable that is normally NP environment, so normally just "np" :

I change it so it reads like this:

So what its doing is reading "http://www.%s.co/TV.xml" and replacing the %s with what i put into Np environment box in debug settings, so the result is http://www.xmbmods.co/TV.xml

Of course it would be better with .com or .net in there for most people..

@STLcardsWS Sorry to bother you, but i know you liked this mod.

For the past month or more, not sure how long exactly, none of the images work anymore.

I know the links work, because i can click on them manually on PC, but for some reason the images wont work on the XMB. If i copy one of the images to my server, then it works fine, so i cant see whats up.

Maybe you might know of something that has changed on the backend that might cause this? Its like ps3 is being blocked from downloading the image from psx-place, but i can still view it fine in a browser.


This is with one image copied to my server, and link edited to point to mt server instead of psx-place.

Maybe someone could modify the perl script I have to download all images to my server instead, and link them from there. I dont mind hosting them, but i dont know how to modify the perl script to do that. It would be nuce to get this working fully again.

In the past month or so we have fully incorporated https

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to make this feature for the latest Rebug 4.84.2 CFW? What modification is necessary in the installation file of this mod to make it work with the latest Rebug CFW? @DeViL303 I know, this is your brilliant work, but if you give me the necessary permissions I would be more than happy to help you porting this application for the latest Rebug 4.84.2 CFW. I know the installer contains modified .rco files, but unfortunately I am not an expert in terms of programming for the Ps3, that's why I ask for your help and contribution.

Thank you.

 

[DeViL303]

Well, basically this all comes down to 1 URL in explore_plugin.sprx.

Here is one from 4.84.2 Rebug patched with my custom whats_new.xml link.

The rcos are only visual really, to change title etc, not really required.

At the moment, the icons are not working.

If you want to do anything with this you can of course. I will try fix the icons soon.

So what its doing is reading "http://www.%s.co/TV.xml" and replacing the %s with what i put into Np environment box in debug settings, so the result is http://www.xmbmods.co/TV.xml

But why not set it to "%s" only? And in the debug settings put the whole and full url?
Or to "http://www.%s/TV.xml"?

 

[DeViL303]

We only are allowed to enter 8 characters in that field, so some of it must be hardcoded, Maybe this limitation could be removed by an rco mod. not sure.

@DeViL303 the icons is showing now? and how to patch to only show in the xmb info clock?

 

[LuanTeles]

Here it isnt showing anything.

maybe because i'm on rebug? the what's news still shows sony ones, and not info clock.

I'm not supporting anymore, the site does not load on ps3 anymore. You can edit the link to your own dropbox and have your own custom whats new if you want.

and how to patch to only show in the xmb info clock?

The easiest way would be to remove the seg_welcome from the psn xml.

how the file structure need to be? i mean i want it to read a custom text in a gdrive account/ dropbox or wherever


and from internal hdd txt files is it possible too?


Can you release the info feed and the news feed files extructures?

Maybe one of the three entries is only for the clock info?

 

[LuanTeles]

@DeViL303 the psn doesnt show any info in the clock info anymore?

Yeah, it's only new stuff that shows up there normally. It's based on the date in the nsx xml, if its older than 1 month or something like that then it won't show.

I think Sony gave upon what's new about 8 months ago. They added all those categories to what's new in the US region and duplicated them in game, no updates since afaik.

can you provide some xmls to use as base ( i don't know the file structure) ? i want to implement custom texts for my mod from a dropbox account, is it possible?

Just look in your tmp/explore/ folder for examples. Or see my threads on this, wm launchpad, it's the format as the xil xmls.
