Oh right, never realised that m8 - I'll check it out - still it seems kind of weird being able to jump over a roof, but thanks for letting me know.

Well it's just out and already people are using hacks - I just went on to two different games - people were flying over roofs and stuff - WTF, really - where is the fun in that?

What's the point in that shit - it just spoils it for everyone else.

Thanks Swizzy, I'm going to have some fun with this dash then.

The thing about these filters is that they're not hardcoded, if someone modifies the filter functions (in the lua files) they'll not behave the same way, and... it's your job to select the filters you want, it's not our job...

You could add these checks to the lua i suppose, but... it's not going to be a part of Aurora itself... it'll be in the lua scripts if it comes

OK thanks, that's good to know. I could probably do this myself if it's just a case of modding the lua scripts. I'll have a look at this later tonight if I get the time. I have a question regarding lua?

Do you know if this dash fully supports all of lua 5.1, can I use all the statements such as if, elseif, then etc. Also could I use functions to call other functions? If so I can make this dash do some good things - such as download files from the net etc.

Filters work on AND logic and not OR logic.        Given a specific game, can it be Xbox 360 Retail AND XBLA? 

Would you be able to put an IF statement in your program (the bit that deals with filters) so that IF xbox360 Retail is selected - XBLA is unselected - this way you can't select both at the same time and people won't get an empty dash?

Thanks.

Log into unity and search for the game Title ID you need the cover for - if it's not there, your xbox won't download it. Some homebrew covers are missing - because they have not been uploaded yet.

Another Reason to ask why you guys released XUI Workshop , if we all use the famous LiNK PlugIn and would never be able to modify nor create a parallel working app, except we are no consumers but Homebrew devs.

Great Idea, already expected it

Im just curious why this language. Looks like i have to research and learn it. I expect more objects to access in the next releases.

Lua is very, very easy to use and read - even someone like me without much coding experience can use it. I have been using it for a long time to make my own programs at home and have made quite a few that I use regularly. Ok it's not the most powerful language - but the things you can do with it are pretty amazing to be honest.

It's not even compiled like a regular program - it's all scripting - so it's easy to modify and makes testing a breeze. I use it on a program called autoplay media studio, but I know what it can do so I am glad to so it being used in this dashboard, as the possibilities with what it can do are great.

You could have used xexmenu (or dashlaunch) to rename, i guess. Intresting finding tho, good you saw that.

I tried both of these as well m8 - the folder was in use so it didn't work - probably because some files in the Nands dashboard access that folder, I needed to access via my computer with the drive not in the xbox360. That way the folder was not in use, and could be renamed.

The problem is solved  now though - I guess the same bug is in FSD3 - as well, as I deleted my FSD3 folder and reset it up - that was also much faster at scanning and now starts faster - with less files to download once the scan was complete. I just never noticed before.

You thanks for testing, little buggers like this are hard when nobody here can reproduce them

In a next release, the caps won't matter anymore.

LOL - just rename you Content folder to content - only joking! Thanks

I think i know the problem-

Using your FTP or some way to access your xbox file system, rename your Hdd1\content\0000000000000000 path to Hdd1\Content\0000000000000000

Critical part being 'content' to 'Content'

I believe I found some code that isn't taking character case into account.

Once the folder is renamed, please do a fresh install of Aurora and scan as you would normally. If it works as intended, I'll include the fix in our next update.

Yep that's the problem. I hooked the slim drive up to a usb caddy, then used party buffalo to access the drive file system, renamed content to Content. Installed and run everything exactly as before - this time No DLC is showing up.

Phew - at last, the problem is solved.

Thanks for taking the time to look at your code, and that was much faster at scanning - now the download queue is 3000+ files smaller, and the dash loads faster.

Try renaming it to something like Content_ first then back to Content, that might solve the problem...

Yeah I have tried that, no joy though - it's not a big deal. I was thinking I could just remove the drive from the 360 and put in a USB sata caddy - then rename as mentioned above - that would probably work fine.

Bugger, the ftp program and xbox won't let me change the folder name - probably because that folder is in use by the xbox360. I've got a 360 transfer cable and Phat HD caddy somewhere, I'll try hooking the drive up to my PC and changing the folder name that way - via party buffalo or Xplorer360.

I'll post back later on with my results.

Thanks for trying again. I followed these steps as well and can not reproduce it. It will stay on the list to look at though.

Ok just so you know I'm not having you on, here's a screenshot of the current scan:

OK just tried again - same results:

This is what I've done:

I've just deleted my Aurora folder + all it's contents. I'll try again with "Aurora 0.1A - Release Package - Hotfix #1" and see how that goes - i'll post back with my findings ok.

Here you go:

That's why they'd be comparing the MD5 hash (or something similar)

Because, if a hash of the file is the same, well then the files are also identical identical files will of course come from the same source, or atleast behave exactly the same way...

Exactly...

To be honest it doesn't really matter if the dlc dosen't match either - the fact that it's getting picked up from the 00000002 folder's, shows that those folders are not being ignored during the scan.

I've got a better idea, load the content.db I posted above into your sql program - (I use SQLite Expert Pro) - and pick any dlc you want. Ie something you already have. Tell me what we have in common and I'll post the md5 hashes of my dlc (the ones you want) - if mine and yours match, they are the exact same. This way you can test as much dlc as you want without me having to upload and you needing to download. Also is saves posting potentially illegal stuff on the site.

Just let me know the title id - and filename of the dlc (saves me searching for ages).

Just an though but would this work:

Currently using a scan depth of 2 in "\content\0000000000000000\

Also scans the following folders: \GameID\ then......

thats fine, those are 2 columns in the db, path "\content\0000000000000000\45410829\00000002" and file "ED485F61151DF878E35D6E6B2EE546D27D3FC83F45EA"

You can t really look at a db with a hex editor like that

Yes I know, I usually use SQLite Expert Professional to look at SQL databases, I was in a bit of a rush yesterday. I can see that the database has made with all the DLC added - I've no idea why - but I have deleted Aurora just now until the next alpha or beta comes out.

It's a good dash though and I can see it only getting better with time, but i'll stick to FSD3 just now as that works well for me. I'll no doubt come back to Aurora but it's too unstable for daily use just now (I know its alpha - don't take this to heart).

Here you go:

http://rghost.net/56763313

I just had a look with a hex editor and found this:

\content\0000000000000000\45410829\00000002ED485F61151DF878E35D6E6B2EE546D27D3FC83F45EA

Notice how the trailing slash is missing - \content\0000000000000000\45410829\00000002

After the 2 there should be a \ to separate the dlc - I use the above dlc as an example, but when you look at the file I posted you'll see what I mean.

Here you go, as requested. I also included a screenshot of my ftp program accessing cod- world at war dlc folder as the path shown on the TV was too long to fit on the screen:

To those of you having your DLC show up in the scan- please confirm that it is saved in the right folder. If the DLC is not in the \00000002 folder, it will show up- and coincidentally, it won't work in your game either, cause its in the wrong spot.

All my dlc's are in the 00000002 folder & all my dlc works fine

Here's a picture of the dash with the DLC showing!

Set Script Data to Applications and try again

And post the logs into pastebin !

I'll do it later tonight m8, I need to go out for a few hours.
