69sixpackbee Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I got them all loaded in and there are 22 pages of Icons! Except, I still cannot view the fast food icons anywhere on those 22 pages yet I upoaded them. I cannot find any of them What gives? Thanx, Bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 If your using my file the fast food images are on the second and third page under MANAGE POI. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
69sixpackbee Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I got them working pretty good! There are a lot of little .bmp's in the "fastfood" icons [poi_brand_fast_food.bmp] for instance, Arby's, that don't show up...just the loaf of bread icon next to the location in the "find poi" map. Anyway, it must have to do with the coding in the "poi.icons" file. Lookie here: [Restaurant.Fast_Food] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_mapclose.spr 31 poi_mapclose.spr 31 [Restaurant.Fast_Food.Burger_King] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_brand1.spr 48 poi_brand1.spr 48 [Restaurant.Fast_Food.McDonald_s] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_brand6.spr 11 poi_brand6.spr 11 [Restaurant.Other_Restaurant_Area.McDonald_s] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_brand6.spr 11 poi_brand6.spr 11 [Restaurant.Other_Restaurant_Area.Pizza_Hut] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_brand7.spr 34 poi_brand7.spr 34 ..as a for instance. But I still am not sure haow it pulls the particular little .bmp image and associates it with the particular restaurant. I am hoping somebody with the "know how" can give me a quick tutorial on how this is don so the lines of code can be added to bring up all of the rest of the fast food joints, i.e; The ones that we have the images for in the bmp.

To have the icon show up in the Manage POI pages all you need to do is call out those specific icons from the Fast Food file. For example if I wanted Arby's to show up just in the pages of pictures to choose myself but not actually branded. All I would need to do is call that .bmp out like this (now I'm assuming Arby's is the first picture in the poi_fast_food.bmp file) [Arby's] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_fast_food.spr 0 (this 0 represents the fact that Arby's is the first .bmp in the poi_fast_food.bmp file) poi_fast_food.spr 0 If I wanted to have Arby's already branded like the Stores, Hotels, and Gas Stations the code would go like this [Resturant.Fast_Food.Arby_s] (that's assuming its in the fast food category and not American or something else, not at my car right now) $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_fast_food.spr 0 poi_fast_food.spr 0 Hope this was the tutorial you needed to figure it all out.

69sixpackbee Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 That is what I was thinking but the problem I can see is the bmp order in the file does not correlate to the respective image. The "Mc Donalds" image is the fifth one down in the poi_brand_fast_food.bmp and the code in "poi.icons" file calls for 11 yet the icon is correct when I pull them up in the POI management screen. Now I am somewhat confused but with your GREAT tutorial I should be able to cobble up something! Thanx! Bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
69sixpackbee Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 ..also, some are in the poi file but they do not show up. The cod looks like this: [Restaurant.Fast_Food.KFC] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_restaurant_rect.spr 02 poi_restaurant_rect.spr 02 [Restaurant.Fast_Food.Burger_King] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_brand.spr 19 poi_brand.spr 19 [Restaurant.Fast_Food.Arbys] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_brand_Fast_Food.spr 00 poi_brand_Fast_Food.spr 00 [Restaurant.Fast_Food.Chic_Fil_a] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_brand_Fast_Food.spr 02 poi_brand_Fast_Food.spr 02 Even tho Arby's is there it does not display but the rest do. So maybe these are not branded yet? Thanx, Bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanx! Bud I am not allowed to use rapid share at work so I can't DL the Branding file right now. But what I am assuming is the McDonald's image being called out in the poi.icons file is not calling out the McDonald's bmp from the poi_brand_fast_food.bmp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The cod looks like this:Even tho Arby's is there it does not display but the rest do. So maybe these are not branded yet? Thanx, Bud For those click the edit button and see if they are in the pages of bmp's that are allowed to be used. Which would mean they are called out and trying to be used but the code just is not written properly for them to be Branded for that particular Restaurant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
69sixpackbee Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yeah, the images are there in the icons pages...20+ of them! but in the categories sections some are displayed and some are not. Looks like I has some decyphering to do..kinda like the Nazi Enigma Machine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonA2B3 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yea they just are not Branded properly. You can always just choose the picture for that particular Restaurant and be done with it, but it looks like you like them to be Branded. Which I don't blame you I'm a bit of a perfectionist myself.

VBLUE42 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Guys, again, if your using my file you should not be having this problem. Arbys does show in the images. Go to MANAGE POI, find Arbys in fast food, hit EDIT, hit the icon, scroll down to the second or third page and select the Arbys icon. I have all of the icons I added to the Branding file displayed.

69sixpackbee Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 This is what I have in my current file that I loaded in at lunch: [Restaurant] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_mapclose.spr 31 poi_mapclose.spr 31 [Restaurant.Fast_Food] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_mapclose.spr 31 poi_mapclose.spr 31 [Restaurant.Fast_Food.KFC] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_restaurant_rect.spr 02 poi_restaurant_rect.spr 02 [Restaurant.Fast_Food.Burger_King] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_brand.spr 19 poi_brand.spr 19 [Restaurant.Fast_Food.Arbys] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_brand_Fast_Food.spr 00 poi_brand_Fast_Food.spr 00 [Restaurant.Fast_Food.Chic_Fil_a] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_brand_Fast_Food.spr 02 poi_brand_Fast_Food.spr 02 [Restaurant.Fast_Food.McDonald_s] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_brand.spr 99 poi_brand.spr 99 [Restaurant.Fast_Food.Taco_Bell] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_brand_Fast_Food.spr 06 poi_brand_Fast_Food.spr 06 [Restaurant.Fast_Food.Wendys] $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_brand_Fast_Food.spr 07 poi_brand_Fast_Food.spr 07 ............ a bit different and I am getting thoe POI's to work. What a cluster-f**k! I'll goof with it some more. Seems like I was using WIN.RAR to extract the files to a folder but it kept overwriting them with the duplicates so I extracted EACH AND EVERY ONE of them separately and did it that way. BETTER!
