Launching Games From Dvd?
« on: October 28, 2003, 11:31:00 PM »

Sorry for this newbie question... But, how do you launch a game in the dvd drive from the menu list?  In evox you can launch a dvd from the default menu item "Launch DVD". I was wondering how I could add a similar menu option in mxm (like in mxm.xml or menu.xml).  Instead of just having the 'autoplay game' option on ... I'd like to just insert a game in the dvd and be able launch it later on. Ive looked around, but am I missing something?

I think that can be simplified to:

<Item>
<Title>Play DVD</Title>
<Action>
LaunchDVD
</Action>
</Item>

Without using a script file.

BTW, script files are conventionally named *.xas , not *.xml
And script files contain no tags

The "MXM ActionScripting Forum" (link at the top of the main MXM forum page) has some good stuff about actionscripting.
