Awesome, Thanks Felida. .7b does look impressive. im sure alot of ppl are hanging for its release.

Any luck yet with the musical default skin Felida?? If you havent had any time to do it yet, its all good.

Awesome Felida, i have no problem with waiting. Maybe as a test you can use my song file as the music for your default skin. that would be fantastic

I have downloaded xuiworkshop, but it says it's missing Trunk/extension or something like that, it opens but i have no idea what to do obviously. i have audacity now as well. For some reason all the skins i have downloaded. eg, your default music skin and even your 1st musical skins, darkened red, blue and darkened green, none of which show up on my list of changeable skins, even before i tinker with them (freshly downloaded and straight onto xbox console, and they dont show up). i can only see my default skin. so i think im fighting a losing battle to start with, unless you have some patience with me and can kinda guide me, but honestly i dont know fuck all about computers, i just found out that "crtl a" selects all. dont laugh. but me and computers just dont agree. id need everything simplified to bare basics. its taken me like 30 mins just to write this. lol

Thanks Felida for having a look. Both of those files were the downloaded file from your post that i just changed the sound/song1 file... which i did change to the same song name, i just renamed it, so i knew which one was which. one of those skins did show up, but no music, i tinked a bit more and then then that skin didnt show up any more, which got my blood boiling. I had another muck around last night and this skin again shows up but with no music. i used the program to convert the music to wav format from your tut. my major problem is when i follow your tut, after you select the main.xur file and another page opens up in your tut.... i dont get that to happen. ive tried looking for this so called XDK program, but i dont know where to look, cant find it, and when i find something and download it, my computer hates it

So here is my attempts... as you can see music is where it needs to be, with my music on it, but not showing up in my skins list on aurora after installation of the files. all ive done is removed the original music and replaced with mine, im just wasting time, goin around in circles Default1.xzp default_music.xzp

anyone???

this is where i got the default skin from and tried to make it work, like i said... i had my music file in replacement of the one felida put up, but it never had music after i installed it onto my console, then after that the skin didnt even show up. now here is the other problem, i have no idea what xdk is but i tried to download xuitool, but i cant get it to work like felida does and my computer hates the program. i just figured it would be easier if someone could do it for me as ive already spent hours and loss of hair trying to get this to work. it doesnt look complex with someone with computer skills. but trust me my friend when i say i know nothing about computers. surely it couldnt be hard for someone to take 5mins out of their day to help out?? i know i would if i could, but thats just me. i hope someone is kind enough to help. its not too much to ask

I was wondering if someone with the correct tools and some computer smarts could please help me out. I'm after a normal standard default aurora skin with the song i have listed below in this post? I've tried myself and dont have all the required tools, i had converted the music to wav format already, i was able to add my song to another default skin and could see my song in the list, but when i added it to my xbox the music did not play, i tinkered a bit more and now the skin doesnt even show up. to put it simply... i have no idea what im doing, i had tried for hours with many different attempts all with no luck at all, if someone knows how to do this?? and if its no dramas, and could repost the default skin with my music file, i would be mostly appreciated. Thanks song1.wav

Sounds good to me felida, it doesnt seem to effect anything, just pops up every now and again when turning on the console and the dash screen has just loaded. I just wanted to make sure that nothing was currupt or something was going wrong with the console or aurora. I guess i'll wait for the new aurora to come out and update and see what happens. Thanks so much for your time and efforts, i can imagine minor stuff like this maybe annoying for you guys to answer, but i'd just like to be reassured that everything will be ok, so im happy for the time being, if you think its just a minor bug. cheers felida and swizzy for your inputs over the last few weeks, most apprieciated.

I've had a look and found that my local was already set to english. I also think Jimmy (from a few posts up) had done the same thing as i had, and still had errors. Swizzy said he'd look into my log files, but that was quite a while ago, and i've never heard back. Thats why i've added to this post to see if anyone else might have an idea of whats going on.

thanks for the response felida, i wil try your theory and let you know

have you managed to fix this error?? i have the same thing

Does anybody know how to recify this intermittent "bad string" error? i have posted some logs from when the errors had occured

got some more errors from tonights session debug.log.last debug.log.last

debug.log.last

Any luck with this one swizzy or is it a bit of a tricky one??

Ok Swizzy, here is the debug.log.last file i got after the bad string message had come up and then i turned off the console and rebooted and then copied the file which is listed below, see what you can find in the file bud, cheers debug.log.last

ok i will wait until the bad string message comes back, then turn off the console and start it up again to copy the debug.log.last file, thanks swizzy for the info

damn it... the bad string message came up, i copied that file i sent you and played a game for a bit, turned off the game and console and read your message, i went to reboot the xbox360 and it bloody froze once it got to the aurora screen. will the log still be there or will i have to wait for the bad string message again?? then turn off the console and restart it, then copy the debug.log.last file again?? thanks for helping, im off to bed now, so ill see your response some time tomorrow, cheers

the bad string message has been popped up again, i could not copy the debug.log file, it would come up with an error, but the debug.log.last file was under the debug.log file. so i have attached that file Swizzy for you to have a look at, so i hope that helps, if not let me know... or tell me how to copy that debug.log file, it just would not copy onto a usb stick for me debug.log.last

Thanks Swizzy for your time, 1st and foremost. Lately ive been doing alot of TU updates and entering DLC's so alot of rebooting has been done by me lately. So after aurora 0.6b was installed, there was no message of bad string, until about the 5th time i turned the console on, the aurora screen comes on and then the game and content checks at the bottom right of the screen does its thing, once thats done and the dash comes up the message will appear only for a few seconds straight after the dash loads to the game list screen (but i dont think this message hammpers the console, the message goes away and everything seems normal), since then the message has only came up a few more times over the next 20 restarts. unti the other night when the message came on 3 times in a row. As far as i know, i have always used engish and have not changed the language, is this something i may need to check? the ony other altercation i made was with the weather app, i changed the script of the weather from F to C, but couldnt say if it started after or before i changed that If its only something to do with language pack and isnt a big concern, then i can live with it. but i read one of the posts saying it may be a bad HDD, which got me concerned, but in that other post there was no confirmmation if it was the HDD or not

Hi guys, I have posted this issue elsewhere and was pointed towards this website, ive done a quick search on this topic "bad string" and found 3 posts on this site which all have different answers. My issue is since downloading aurora 0.6b through the aurora xbox360 dash, the message will intermittently come up, i think 3 times in the 1st 20 boots after the updated aurora was installed, then it was fine for a while, then the message popped up 3 times in a row on the next 3 reboots. it doesnt seem to hamper the console in any way, that i know of. its just a concerning message that means nothing to me but may be more serious than i think, or something i dont need to worry about. if anyone has any advice, or can tell me what it means, or what i can do to get rid of the message, that would be great if any other information is req'd, let me know what you need. i hope someone can help or steer me in the right direction cheers

Works like a charm.... Thank you so much for this
