O.P. [Release] X360+
Hey guys,

I've been working on this one for a while now, and it's nowhere as complete as I intend it to be yet, but as far as I can tell it's stable just now.  As always single person testing can check everything so I'm hoping that any errors I've missed will be reported.

Features
Set your media message to your current Xbox 360 game.
or
Set your media media message to a game gimmick message.

Since Plus! doesnt seem to detect PSM changes from Xbox users, the script uses Xniff to find out what game you're currently playing, and duplicate it.
The game names and gimmick messages are taken from an XML  database, in order to clean up names (from R and TM marks etc).  this database is extremely limited atm, and also local until I can get the online script working properly.

The gimmicks were basically for me, but theres no point removing it, I think its a nice feature.  changes the message to things, such as "The Cake is a lie" for Portal, and so on.

If anyone uncovers and problems, or has any suggestions/requests, please let me know.

- Should probably let people know that to use the script, you need your xbox to sign into messenger, and to set your preferences to look for your xbox signin email address and gamertag.

Yeah, was a little too quick to press the send there.  You got in just before I updated.

And just to make sure, the email address attached to the 360 has to be different than the one using WLM on the PC with the script right :p?

Unfortunately, yes atm.  I'm hoping to discover a better method of doing a lot of the things... or that the xbox will be given the ability to sign in as a second location when Messenger 9 is out, but until then, it's different accounts I'm afraid :(

I had an idea, but it would probably defeat the purpose of all your hard work :p?

For example

http://live.xbox.com/member/SonicSamZ

That says

Current Status:
Online

Playing Xbox 360 Dashboard


Wouldn't there be a way to extract the info from there?

However I think there's a flaw because if you login to that site as yourself it doesn't say what you're doing :(

Hey sonicSam.  Sorry, woulda replyed, but I got called into work since I live closest and people were skiving. :@

I did consider using the live member pages, but didn't for various reasons.  For a start I don't really wanna access a web page periodically, and also I wouldn't have a clue about cookies.

I know this method isn't the best, since xniff seems to drop packets sometimes, and theres no way to enable/disable (yet) but it seemed to work.  Of course, I know that xniff doesn't work for everyone as well, so I'm really hoping to discover something.
Hopefully time will tell.
Soon.

Hopefully they'll be improvements to MSN on the 360 come November 19th with the New Xbox Experience :).

Thanks for the script :)

I've updated the main post, putting v1.1 up.  The saving has been working for me in this version, so hopefully will solve your problem.  If not gimme a shout again and I'll try a new method.

Theres no about menu item, because there isn't an about menu.  At least, not yet, but I did notice the preferences shows a lot more than is functional.  Mainly cos I suck at doing the interface, and added everything at once.

This version has added DP support, which will change your DP to the game icon, or to a logo if the gimmicks are enabled.  This feature is currently very limited, due to the fact I'm working on my games DB and trying to add more and more when things are working.
If theres any requests for games or psms, I'd be happy to add them.  And as always any problems gimme a shout.
