O.P. [Release] Xbox360Stuff
No longer working on this! If you wish to use the code as a template for something you're creating, feel free to do so!

Xbox360Stuff

Features:

* Can post Xbox Live Gamerscore to chat window.
* Can post Xbox Live Status to chat window.

Possible Future Features:

* Updates PSM or Media Message with status or gamerscore.
* Ability to change avatar to Xbox Live gamer picture.
* Ability to use tags like in the Now Playing Script

Changelog:

Note: I will only post major versions to the MsgPlus site, all other versions will only be posted to mediafire.

v1.0.0 - Released
v1.0.1 - Removed Status Feature due to not working.
v1.0.2 - Fixed & re-added Status Feature
v1.0.3 - Fixed a typo in the "About" window

Known Problems & why:

Problem: The download on the MsgPlus site isn't the same as the one posted here.
Why?: As far as i can tell, the scripts only get checked every so often (you have to e-mail them)

Problem: When posting Gamerscore/Status you might get a short burst of lagg.
Why?: I'm guessing this due to it grabbing the info from the xml feed.

Problem: Sometimes gamerscore/status isn't correct.
Why?: The xml feed Xbox360Stuff uses only seems to update every few hours & until i find one that updates more often you'll have to deal with this one.

Problem: When offline, it still shows the last game played.
Why?: No idea, on my list of things to fix.

Downloads:
The off-site download is usually more up to date than the on-site one.

On-Site Download (MsgPlusLive) v1.0.0

Off-Site Download (Mediafire) v1.0.3

About Script/Me:

The Xbox360Stuff script was created using an old Last.fm Script as a template with permission from the Last.fm Script creator.

Before creating this script i had no previous scripting experience, so i more or less done a copy & paste method of figuring out how it works.

For more up to date stuff about the script development/other random stuff, check my Twitter or my Blog

RE: [Release] Xbox360Stuff
That's pretty nice, cheers.

I have a feature suggestion: The ability to change/edit the string of text sent for status/gamerscore. (I suggest using some tags like the Now Playing script does - eg: [u] - [s] - [lp] = username - status - last played)

Thanks!

I've been wanting to add something like this, though i have absolutely no idea how to do so.

Still I'll add it to my Possible Future Features list =D.

RE: [Release] Xbox360Stuff
This uses the REST API provided by that guy, which usually has a 2 hour+ cache. So the information will not change when you change game for a little bit.

I originally used that API for this however I got tired of the caching and moved to a very nice script I got made, which has no caching...

I do not plan to release the source code, however I just wanted to point out that while this is as close as you'll get without more hardcore coding, the API that powers this script is severely cached.

edit: and you already pointed this out, oh well (a)

I'm sure dt won't mind if you look at his Now Playing script to see how it's done. You will want to read up on something called regular expressions though =p

I've had this script for a while and it wont show status or gamerscore in my PSM or in contact windows, in contact windows it keeps saying "the command you entered was not recognized."
is there any help with this or will there be an update for this some time soon?

Sorry for the late reply.

The script currently does not update the PSM or media message yet.

Until i actually learn how to do that, it won't be added =(
Also need to find a better and more up to date xbox feed before I actually attempt that, as the current feed only updates every few hours.
