How do I create a startup event?

Postby homepc on Thu Jan 03, 2008 6:00 pm

For example, each night the computer reboots its self and XL restarts. I want XL to refresh the Intheaters each time XL starts but not everytime I go into a menu?

Thanks

What I do is a start page that emulates the splash screen. I perform timed events using the Xevent plugin and I do them when the screen opens. I also have a wait command, then a goto menu command, so after x amount of time, the screen then goes to my main menu.

Hope this helps.

F2 into the setup dialog,

Goto the events page,

Expand the skin tree

Add a group called startup.

In this startup group add an event called startup.

Anything in this event will be run when xlobby starts up.
