ill.die.trying

I am having one big problem please help. it seems that when i have a route active, the speed limit sign shows up when i am on a highway and blocks the stop sign delete route button. yet it still lets me delete the route when i press it. thank you

search for the stopbutton_onmap.bmp on navigate_800_480.ui and play with the values, there should be two inthere that you have to cahnge the values

or

you could move speed limit sign beside the current speed sign, same thing , search for speed limit icon and play with the x&y values

Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I have been trying all the different layouts and made one of my own using IDT's as a base. His is the cleanest and uses the best button placement of all the ones I tried. I did add a few buttons on the top row for: Go Home, Favorites, and MSN. I modified a few BMPs to maintain the look. I added keeper's linear compass with road list on push for quick detours,

increased a few font sizes, used Mav's speed and altitude, added house numbers back to the clock on push, and made full screen cockpit a sticky setting.

 

I Uploaded it as cmh928_data.zip to http://66.59.250.9:8000/ username: avic password: leave blank, for anyone who cares to try it. I also posted the speedcam voice files. They unzip to apl2\igo\audio.

Thanks for all the help guys!

post some pics

for the icons you'll have to play with the x values, for the other one look for this code then change font size to your liking

;route name and housenumber(next and the third road name)

just a little update, new icons, these won't be out til my next full update

i have the codes i need for the info box, just don't have the time to continuously mod it, as of this morning the only new mod i have is i changed the speed camera icon, speed warning box and current speed box into glossy pictures

these are my files that i adjusted for the route info box, the clock with house numbers and moving the compass and adding the edit itinerary screen function to it. Hope this helps you.

thanks anyways but i already have the ui file, see my forum for new pictures

i can give you the files or instructions on how to do the route info box. I also successfully added the compass and clock functions from MAV's mods to yours. Everything is just about perfect. Thanks for your help, i cant believe i actually got this stuff to work. Anyway this is the best forum i have ever used. Thanks all

i have the codes i need for the info box, just don't have the time to continuously mod it, as of this morning the only new mod i have is i changed the speed camera icon, speed warning box and current speed box into glossy pictures

I am running these mods and i love them. I already made a change in case your interested or anyone else to use the avic to choose what info is displayed in the route info box. Just let me know if you want that. I have a couple of questions.

1. the house numbers do not show when i hit the compass. I am considering adding MAV's clock, house numbers and compass function but i do not want it conflicting with your house number mod. please let me know if i am missing something.

2. I would also like to move the compass down so i can have a larger clock similer to MAV's mod. When I make the clock the same size, the compass overlaps it a bit.

 

Thanks, I would really appreciate your help hope i am not bothering you.

post your code here for the compass and i'll look into it, for the compass you'll have to play with the x and y values,

could you post the code you have for the clock? i don't know why the house number mod would not show up, for the speed limit display you also have to include the bmp's for it, it's not in my zip so download it and put in in common folder

i got everything to work. the buildings and speedcams. there werent any speedcams in my area or buildings but i did a sim thru new york and buildings and cameras showed up. the problem was the sys.txt file you had sent me. so i edited my sys.txt file by adding your map section for the sky and added enable speedcams=1. the differences between the files were these lines:

[interface] resolution_dir="400_240"; was added

 

[usb]

enable_on_shutdown=1

disable_on_startup=0

quitmap_msg_quits=0; was added

 

and

 

[timezone]

reset_os_timezone=0; was different then my file.

 

do i need these settings for anything, what do those do?

thanks a lot for your help looks great by the way

 

shit, guess i sent you a trial sys.txt, for the [usb] part, im just trying that one out, for the interface resolution i think i changed it cause i'm trying to make the igo pc to work, i'm glad to have everything fixed,

3. How can I add this to your mod http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20638 it looks pretty cool and i was thinking this was what your mod was missing and someone already added it, but i am having trouble.

4. Also can you let me know how to restore the original arrow for 2d mode.

 

Thanks, I would really appreciate your help hope i am not bothering you.

for #1 i too am working on route info,

for #2

;compass house number mod

look for this on the navigate_800_480.ui

i think you have to play with the y values to your liking i havent tried it though

for #3 look for this and add the code below to your navigate_800_480.ui, it already has the current speed so you could just delete that and replace it with the code below

;Display Posted Speed Limit 



;Display Elevation 



;Display Clocked Speed 

i didnt include the speed limit display because nothing is showing up here in canada, and i dont like the elevation display cause to me it was just nonsense,

for #4 download attached file extract and put in common folder

I have tried lots of schemes and i am still only getting like 8 buildings. I get like the space needle, the Columbia tower, Key Arena, Two Union Square things like that. No outlined buildings at all do you suggest i turn off the Landmarks button in the settings..

try putting another license file, i had the same problem as you and had to go through a lot of searching,

download this file and copy the license to your license folder

Current speed

which data.zip are you using?

ok i downloaded your file from the web file manager and it had that font file in there. I put your data file in and i cant get past startup screen. there was an empty folder in the web file manager and another file .res, so there was only one data file to download. I dont know what i am doing wrong. this is nuts.

include the font file when you transfer the data.zip, that's the reason it's not booting up, the file to download is the one with the latest date,

I just received your file. Are these licenses applicable to the US and I also noticed you changed the top of the sys.text to [device] type="ASUS 63X"? will this work with the avic. This is what Boris wrote to me a little while ago:

 

1. Install hacked EZRider and a license pack 2. Copy building (3DC) files to CONTENT\building folder 3. Add

enable_buildings=1

line to [debug] section of SYS.TXT.

4. (optional) Add my setting.ui aтв setting_800_480.ui files to control building visibility on the fly 5. (optional) add some color schemes (i.e. Real View v6) to enable better building display.

 

Boris also wrote:

To make it easier for everyone (and to save me from reading dozens of PMs):

 

in SYS.TXT, find [debug] section and add a line, if it's not there:

speedcam_enabled=1

 

Then:

extract the file from the attachment to SD card and copy ui_pioneer folder to APL2\iGO.

 

You will have settingXXX.ui files (to turn speedcamera functions on and off) and placeXXX.ui files to add/edit cams manually.

 

I guess those are the files for number 4 above

i think it be easier if you revert to all original files first,

1)download hacked ezrider and license file here, the only thing you'll be using from the downloaded file is the hacked ezrider and the license,

http://rapidshare.de/files/40903102/ir.zip.html

2)download my data.zip from the FTP site, download the one with the latest date,

3)add that and the DIGI font file to your igo folder.

4)add the sys.txt attached here,

5)add the speedcam database,

that's pretty much it, follow everything and it whould work

Boris i figured it out but how can i get it to save the view i want whenever i find the cool view i like the minute i push the map button it resets to the previous view it was on should i just use the knob to do it instead of tapping on the screen and using that tilt feature. Also one more question i am using the realview v6 scheme the sunny one and i go down to Seattle and only like 8 buildings show up. Is there like a newer version of the 3d buildings or am i not using the right scheme to all the buildings this forum has helped out alot thank you... Kevin

turn off the smart zoom

check this forum i started a while back

Thanks so much!!! here's the link to my first posting on this topic. it has the link to the Photoshop file and also should have my email listed

Hi,

 

Is there a way to enlarge the speed info displayed on the map?

are you referring to the current speed or the cock info?

I have low and USA_Dem that is high resolution. I'll test out the High one tonight, that one is 260 megs. I didn't copy this over when I put the new maps, buildings and poi on. I'll let you know

 

 

Update> I put my NA_USA.dem file in that is high resolution terrain and it made a difference, mountains that didn't show up before do now just fine.

could you post your dem files, i'm assuming the NA in the NA_USA.dem stands for North America

Sorry everyone i've been pretty busy with other project outside of the avic community as well as doing stuff for work. Im working on updating the launcher so that it would automatically launch selected navigation software and adding extra features. I wasn't able to make good use of the pioneer library yet, but will let you guys know when I am successful.

can't wait for the next update

Can anyone please help me with a step by step to add 3d buildings, sky and speedcam to my data.zip. I have tried to do this numerous times and cannot get past startup screen. Please help i have already read hours upon hours of posts. Thank you

for 3d buildings you need to download building files, add license and add this line on the [debug] section of your sys.txt

[debug]

enable_buildings=1

this is the link for the hacked ezrider, i don't know if you need those but included in that download is the license i used to make the buildings appear,

http://rapidshare.de/files/40903102/ir.zip.html

for the speedcam go to this link

http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17820

read the instructions and just use the ui's that is needed for it

I have a question that could possibly solve all my problems. Can i use this data.zip file and change the navigatemap_800_480.ui file to suit the changes i have made to my data.zip file? Please let me know if this would work. Thank you

i think your better off with your mods to the navigatemap_800_480.ui, if you just change the navigatemap your unit might crash cause it might call for some files that you don't have

were you able to run it?

 

Not sure if it was the same package, but yes, I have a couple of PC iGOs running.

i'll probably have to try it again when i get home

Yes, and it worked exactly 2 times on my PC (vista 64 bit)

 

After that I thought... well, that is nice to try some data zip files

Never worked since.

 

Cannot get it operational anymore

 

Delete SAVE folder, and run it as Admin or give it rights to write in its directory.

 

Also, PC version was never intended as full-featured software, and can't be really skinned like the PNA version.

were you able to run it?

Thanks! been through all of that and having a problem setting up the alpha channel transparency thing with my version of Photoshop. check at the end of forum you referred me to and you'll find my postings asking for help getting the images to work.. struggling with a ton of other modification projects and could use a bit of help.

post your link and i'll help you out
