This topic has been recently discussed in a different thread. (MXM should be open source).

It seems as though there are a few people who are interested in forming a group to further develop this version...especially considering how silent the mxm scene has been. Perhaps it could be named something along the lines of UMXM for Unofficial MXM. It would probably also be best if a sub forum be created for this unofficial version.

I am in no way able to do any of this myself...I couldn't code my way out of a wet paper bag. I have just always been a huge fan of MXM and don't want to watch it continue to fizzle out.

No, I don't know who leaked the beta. No, I don't know where all it can be found. I personally found it on a torrent site...that may be the best place to check.

Hopefully BJ himself will see this thread and give some indication of his future plans for MXM. It is such a wonderful dash and was way ahead of its time.

Thank you.

I just recieved this as well. Sweet! However, has anyone a clue as to how to use the zip or rar scripting yet. I mean how would you script out an action to unzip a archive then copy to a certain path? Is there any takers on this.....

I can't bring myself to use it. The PRIVATE BETA nag screen makes me feel guilty and dirty.

I do honestly feel the pain bro. But dont help mxm die out. Help bring it back. Im trying to soak up as much as I can. You know!

The first thing someone could do is put mxm_beta_0_9o_WIP_src.rar online.
The second thing someone could do is make a feature request thread.

Who has it though?
Then who will head up development.

the source is online...it just isn't on xbins

Yeah I understand. But not everyone has l337 access to private ftp's or is willing to install that bittorrent program. So if someone with the src files wants to revive the project, the first step would be hosting them (which is allowed here on XS).

I dont think zip file support was ever finished completely. the RAR format however, was working nicely at the time. Also, a lot of the ZIP commands double for RAR stuff.

from the actionscript readme file:





It works using Handles.. in the following, I created a handle called "DLVIDRAR" for continued reference to the rar.

this is stripped down from the preview video downloader i was working on at the time. You will see the copy/delete instead of the MOVE command used, because i believe there was still a bug in the move command. Can't remember, I'm old.

Thank you for the reply. I was curious that some scripts did not function correctly using the zip function. Hopefully someone can jump into the development area and work through these bugs and further Bens mxm project. Take care

I can’t compile the source without the (XbSockAddr.h) file,
does any one know where to get it?

I remember (somewhat blurry cause it's been so long).. a while back (probably a year or so ago)... asking Ben what was required to compile the source... and he replied something to the effect of that it required a specific version of the xdk.. and the latest xdk wouldn't work, but an older one would... once again... my memory is rather blurry because it was a while ago... so you may try obtaining an older version of the xdk and try that...

Can anyone confirm this? I will look into it. I was not around when ben was on the scene.

Keep up the work!

So this means MXM is not dead?

Would lôve a MXM version with
-faster startup
-without the dashboards button in the menu as standard
-even more scripting like: using mxm to edit inis and xmls and other docs...
like replace line 37 with <<SOMETHING>>
-uses default.tbn/default.jpg as icon if found
-and some other things... can't remember them right now.

and ofcourse:
-Flash bios
-lock/unlock hdd
-use preview.wmv/preview.xmv as preview video if found

you can already use it for half that stuff. What version did you last use?

mxm_beta_0_9n6
