Re: Title packs
There is ManiaPlanetTitle.xml from Valley Stunters :
Use <folder> tag.
Beware with items, they are ordered in descending order
Then if you want to order your items, simply name your first 90-xxxx, second 80-xxx etc...
Code: Select all

Re: Title packs
@steffeen
as soon i edit the xml, and i update the Title page,
it clear the modified .xml and load a basic version.
This oblige to re-clear the cache, delete another file,
and try again.
When this fail, you should start another title, with inestricable problems of naming,
and finally you got the same result: nothing.
This is the bit of code i use for folder inclusion
(i never found an explicit explanation of this,
i know by magic, nor i know if i have to do the same with the included \Texture folder)
Maybe i miss a backslash? an apice? a stupid double quote?
I know that this is the OLD structure,
and now static items goes in \Items,
but when i started to build this title, things was different,
and i suppose (maybe there is my "stupidity") that it should work even now.
It's hard to desume that the app despise the \Blocks instead of \Items,
but it's possible.
This apart,
i re-state all what i said:
the Title procedure is an esotheric acid trip.
A BAD one.
-------
@hackie
Yes, me too i was frequently saved by good mates,
but more frequently i have to renounce to original ideas,
and resign on common workaround.
Or even pull away the whole disgusting mess i created.
----
Ohhhh 1 Spaii
the problem was that i used
<Files>
instead of <folders>...
But i'm crazy or this is undocumented at all?
---
well, stop complaining,
this 3 mates gave me the sense of this forum.
Forget my rant,
keep going, in some way...
Peace and love

Attention !! You include a folder inside a file tagdarmaya wrote:This is the bit of code i use for folder inclusion

You can't do that : <file><folder></folder></file>
You could look at some precisions here : http://wiki.maniaplanet.com/en/Title_Pack

the client caches pretty much everything and won't recognize the changes otherwise
btw the default xml already has the <folders> tag included

Re: Title packs
Thanks to the Spaii's xml
and to Steeffen's warning,
it seems I got the result:
What i've done:
1) I copied the whole spaii's xml and i edited, according to my needs (while MP is closed)
2) i launched MP and the script was easily read by Title app
I edited, loaded and resaved (this time he recongnize the xml and loaded correctly, that means that i has a bad-written code)
3) Exit, delete the original Blocks folders, relaunch and install title:
Fine.
Let's see if it works in another account....
Thanks to all...

Re: Title packs
There are some examples of menu titlePack?
A big help would be to observe the files and help build your own menu for your title

Re: Title packs
I've spent like 3 days trying to figure this out.
I've added custom objects to my .xml file use the <folder> tag but I still get the 'no objects' available message.
Here is the .xml
As you can see I have added the folders with all my items with their textures.
what am I doing wrong. I sent the titlepack to some people and they had the same problem
when the title pack download it comes out to about 150mb, so what is it downloading when apparently no objects are being shown?
