How about a variable for cd-rom drive?

by **Naylia** on Wed Nov 09, 2005 4:25 pm

Hey, how about a variable that is a reference for the cd-rom drive, which can be set by the user in the setup menu. This way all my play dvd commands could use a variable instead of hardcoding 'D:\' and having to have people go in and modify all the events that use 'D:\' if they happen to use 'E:\'.

if you wan use a variable for drive letter.

1 - create a Drive database :

<xml>
<database>
<sortorder>display</sortorder>
<paths>
</paths>
<item>
<parameter>W:\</parameter>
<display>Drive</display>
</item>

</database>

parameter = you drive letter

2 - on your skin create a new screen with a category drive and asign it the drive database.

3 - if you need the drive letter for an event, use %drive>parameter% in the variable.

Steven, since u are gonna sell xlobby now and make it easy for users to set it up, maybe a variable is a good idea. both for Deamin tools drive and the regular dvd drive.
