- paendorz - 2011-08-11 Is there any way to further integrate steam into this plugin? So far, I've come up with this: My python knowlegde is basic so I wrote an app in .NET instead in order to get a list of appid's based on what's marked as installed in your steam installation and generate batch files accordingly. After that, I did a quick rewrite of a parser to get the thumbs. I assume there are no specific parsers for Steam apps but just looking at the code it doesn't seem like a big deal. I think I could write those since it's basically getting these files: Thumbs: Code: http://cdn.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/{appid}/header_292x136.jpg Fanart: Code: http://cdn.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/{appid}/page_bg_generated.jpg Data: Code: http://store.steampowered.com/app/{appid} - description meta tag But this whole setup isnt really confortable. My main concern right now is how feasible would be to get the appid's from within the addon using python and how to make it interact better with the launcher. - dsimages - 2011-08-11 im a total newb to the gaming side things (pc wise) and would love to get a couple of games on the htpc. I understand what this launcher does and I even when as far as installing am emulator (project64) and downloaded a couple of roms and threw them into the laucher. Getting the emulator and roms into the laucher was fine but when trying to actually lauch a rom i would get display errors and would have to manually launch the rom threw the emulator interface. anyway, i like being able to play some of the emulated games from the snes days but I would also like to get some of the new titles to play. I guess what I am asking is where would be a good place to start (tutorial wise) on dowloading some of the newer pc (xbox replicas) games and getting them into the launcher. for those of you downloading the pc games, are you downloading iso's or exe's? Edit, im running xbmc on an acer revo 3610 2gb ram... - Fitho - 2011-08-11 Tonight my setup started beeping twice when i start a game from Advanced Launcher. Like the two beeps when u add new thumbs and fanart. Not sure if it is Advanced Launcher, I could also have messed up my setup. But I noticed a new version 1.5.0 and it "sounds" like advanced launcher. There is also a small message by advanced launcher in the bottom right corner of the screen. Not sure if it always has been there. It says it's launching a game. Dit I mess up? These beeps are annoying. - Angelscry - 2011-08-11 Dina Wrote:No clue how that got in there, but even with that changed it does nothing. It loads the emulator fine, but it doesn't load the rom.Neoragex is effectively a better NeoGeo AES emulator than Winkawaks. Unfortunately, this last one does not support command line and is not supported anymore. So you will not have the possibility to use it with Advanced Launcher. I have check again the 3 files you post here... but all seems ok for me. Sorry to not be able to help you more... - Angelscry - 2011-08-11 paendorz Wrote:Is there any way to further integrate steam into this plugin?fr500, have already wrote a large number of tutorials on the integration of the steam platform with Advanced Launcher.

Here is the wiki page on Project 64 configuration : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=Project64#Windows Also, depending the version of Project64 you are using (v1.6 or v1.7), the launcher argument are different (%rom% or "%rom%"). - paendorz - 2011-08-11 Angelscry Wrote:fr500, have already wrote a large number of tutorials on the integration of the steam platform with Advanced Launcher. He last contribution is here : http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=848837&postcount=2310 Yeah, but that's just the execution part, the batch files. And you have to add each one manually. Maybe I wasn't clear on my approach. I'm talking about potentially adding adding my app features to the launcher. Which are basically to recognize which games are in your local steam setup and adding them to a specific launcher. What my .NET app basically does is open up a local config file in your steam folder, apply some regular expressions in order to convert Valve's KeyValues to JSON and then parse it to extract the games. I think it can be done on python, if anyone is willing to code it. - dsimages - 2011-08-11 I add the emulator path, add the rom Dir, %rom% for the argument, imported roms, ect... Now when I drill down from Addons>Advanced Launcher>N64 Games> I can see my 3 roms with cover-art ect. I click on one of the roms, xbmc minimizes, project64 opens (small windowed) and a cmd terminal behind it, all while showing a small error on top of P64. I can close the error, then in P64 go to file>refresh rom list then click the rom and it starts. I believe it was a direct 3d error ( i cant simulate it right now, the wife is watching a movie). I will post error asap. I got the 64 emulator from emulator zone and the rom from rom-world. I didnt see a xbox emulator or xbox "roms" on these sites. So I was mainly concerned about how-to/where-to get newer pc/xbox games to download and how to install. - Angelscry - 2011-08-11 dsimages Wrote:I believe it was a direct 3d error ( i cant simulate it right now, the wife is watching a movie). I will post error asap.Could be a direct 3d sharing resource error. I do not clearly remember but I think you will have the possibility to change the graphical rendering plugin of Project64. If you try another plugin, I think it will fix the problem. - dsimages - 2011-08-11 Angelscry Wrote:Could be a direct 3d sharing resource error.

I edited my post above, please read. I believe your correct of the rendering plugin.. will try again when the wifey's done. - Angelscry - 2011-08-11 dsimages Wrote:I edited my post above, please read.There is no working xbox emulator. - JustinAiken - 2011-08-11 So I just installed Advanced Launcher on my system, and any kind of scraping, data or image, is giving me addon.py failed... How do I fix this? - Angelscry - 2011-08-11 clock2113 Wrote:So I just installed Advanced Launcher on my system, and any kind of scraping, data or image, is giving me addon.py failed...Looks like there is something wrong into your launchers configuration. First which operating system and XBMC version are you using? Next could you please post here the content of the XBMC log file (just after the error occurs) and post it here (using pastebin service for example). - JustinAiken - 2011-08-11 http://pastebin.com/zbNmBMgB <- launchers.xml http://pastebin.com/yUwGcnuQ <- xbmc.log Ubuntu 10.04, XBMC 10.1 Dharma - dsimages - 2011-08-11 Angelscry Wrote:There is no working xbox emulator. Lets use COD:Black Ops for example. It is a 360/pc game. These are the types of games I am referring to. PC games that are also xbox games. I understand that I will have to use the pc version since there is no working xbox emulator. I couldn't get CXBX working earlier this evening anyway. I have no idea what im doing when it comes to pc games. I am asking for a general direction from start to finish. Where to get the games, what format do they need to be in (iso or exe), virtual mounting software, ect.. |
