Denver358 3 Posted April 22, 2017 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted April 26, 2017 First XDK = Xbox Development Kit. There is the Hardware and the Software parts of that. Either one is technically illegal to have, with out an express contract with microsoft. That being said, there are implementations of the hardware stuff that work on RGH consoles, and the software stuff is online, if you know where to look. I have like 6 different versions of it. I will not give links, as we dont allow that. XUItool is part of the software stuff, and you will have better luck installing the whole thing, than trying to just install xuitool. That being said, I know Devs of aurora who cant get that app to work the way felida does. The documentation for it sucks, and if you ask me the whole app sucks, which is why I dont do skins. As for the music, if you are using one of felidas music skins, all you would have to do is replace the wav file, and rename it to be exactly the same as the one that is already included in the xzp package.

Denver358 3 Posted April 30, 2017 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you convert the wav accordingly with audacity? Just because you have a .wav extension.. doesnt mean the bitrate/ect is supported.. it is kinda picky when it comes to wavs.. Edit: I'll take a look in a few.. edit 2: ok so i am assuming your "default1.xzp" is the one you are trying to use correct? well there is an issue with it.. i cant open with xuipkg.. so there lies your problem.. i have no clue what you used to open/repack the skin.. but DEF is why it does not show up, as the file is corrupt or something.. xuipkg : error : invalid archive format: default1.xzp that is the error i am getting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't even open the default 1st.xzp skin.. so prolly why.. I was able to open the default_music.xzp one tho.. I am not home tonight.. but feel free to pm me later and I can help more..

Denver358 3 Posted May 1, 2017 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take it from someone who has it already, it is impressive, but there is still one major feature that needs to be finished... Though that feature shouldn't make any difference in the skin. Other than that it is down to translations. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
