Xbox Content Downloads without xbox connected- Burned DVDs for content downloads

Is it possible to get content downloads and MODs transfered to the XBOX without the XBOX connected with a highspeed connection. Basically can i add these by burning them to a CD or DVD? How do I do this?
Also is it legal to copy Games and stick my own music or add the mods to a new DVD along with the game as long as i own the game and dont give it out?

it cant be done

the reason why is that downloadable content is too big to fit on a conventional memory card and also incompatible.

the only way to do it without a memory card would be to modify the hardware in your xbox (a modchip). once done you can run unsigned code one your box. among other things this would allow for ftping into your box to move the necessary files across. you would of course need to know what the modified files were.

thats the long answer to the no answers above.

There is a DVD magazine made by microsoft that costs 7-8 bucks a pop.

Its called exhibition.

It has all the recenbt downlaoded content on it for your installing pleasure, as well as recent game demos. Its pretty nice if you dont want xbox live. But for the price of 6-7 of these, you can have a year of live, so whats the point?

Exporting from 3D Studio Max into OpenGL

I’m developing a game in OpenGL and C++. I need an efficient (and clean) way of exporting models and scene info from 3D Studio Max into OpenGL. I’ve tried ASCII export. Is there something better?

Download this program:

it can conver different 3d formats, so you can choose some of them like *.3ds, *.x *.cpp(OpenGL code format), etc.

How to rename a file name to a prefix + current date in DOS batch file

Hi

My machine is an NT. Everyday, there will be a file (i.e. abc.txt) output to my NT server & I need to write a program (in DOS batch file) to rename the file from abc.txt to abc210300.txt

The 210300 means 21st March 2000, if today is 21/3/2000. So, everyday the program will be scheduled to run and reanme the abc.txt to

“abc” + current date + “.txt”

This is the batch file commands I have now, but I don’t know how to put in the date portion.

@echo off
echo.

rename c:\temp\abc.txt abc123.txt

@echo off

Thank you.

there is no way to write a batch file(*.BAT, with out using some sort of program.

I could wirte the program for you, use some programs i have at home.

Creating Counter strike server for the internet

hallo hallo

I’m trying to create a Counter strike:Source server and having problem when my mates try to join eg: Server not responding.
I have forwarded ports 7002, 5273, 27010, 27012, 27015 on my Zyxel Prestige 660 router as advised on www.portforward.com.
My mate can ping my pc but cannot connect to the server i have created. I am trying to run the client and server on the same machine. he has tried to enter [IP Address Concealed]:27015..to no avail.
Not sure what else i have to do

I have Windows XP and counter strike source with Steam client.

It is really important that your friend connects to your WAN IP, they can’t see your LAN and this is what port forwarding does. It creates a transparent link between the port address on the WAN IP and the same port on a specific PC on the LAN at that address. When someone connects to 200.2.2.2:1200 the router actually directs the packet to 192.2.3.6:1200 and does the same with your outgoing data. This would normally be no problem BUT some (generally DSL) routers have been the cause of endless problems with Steam.

Suspect the Prestige Router is what is letting you down.

linksys are the most releiable for port forwarding.

I find that 1 out 2 home routers can’t forward ports right, might want to check for a firmware patch.

Also make sure the following.

1. Your local ip adress is static . ie: 1.1.1.1

2. The port forwarding is pointing to your static local ip address. 200.2.2.2: ports 27000-27039 >> 1.1.1.1

3. If your running dedicated server, you can connect your client locally for a test, first try the 1.1.1.1, then try 200.2.2.2

4. Get down to the real nitty gritty, load a packet sniffer to see if anything i makiing by your router.
