WwRGSwW Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I am working on all of the new PIM icons right now. I have sent a bunch to WwRGSwW. I have completed channels 2-48 as well as the channels that just switched numbers. WwRGSwW is going to let me know if the PIMs work. I will continue the editing process tonight. It will take me quite some time to finish the rest but hopefully we will have a working 2008 NAV disk with all the new XM logos in the end. ^ I burned the disc, Ill test it tomorrow and let you know on your icons!

axxman Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Here are the icons in BMP format. I guess to convert to pim I will need to get irfanview or something. ??? do the catagory names need to be changed? or does the d3 pick that up off the broadcast? xmiconszippedBMP.zip Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I almost have 2-100 done in this manner..... We will see what happens with my completed icons in the morning. WwRGSwW burned them to his NavDVD and will test them tomorrow.... (Cross your fingers!!!)

axxman Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 fingers crossed, i dont have a good photo editor so I could not do any advanced editing, I just thought it would be good to have all the icons in one place. if we can get this working 100% we can maybe ask that JLhong to host it on his ftp server, if not, I have a server we can host it on.

bggull Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 ok now that my finger is sore/worn down from all the editing, i'll post what i have done.... im gonna get some sleep and try to get more done tomorrow... heres what i have.... use the PimMgr program to view.... ive reposted it... newPIMs2-114.zip PimMgr.zip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bggull Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 OK here it is.... All of the new XM Logos. I did some updating and remove stations that are no longer there. These are only the large logos. The small ones that appear when you hit the "List" button on your D3 would be too time consuming to recreate. Unless someone knows how to convert the larger ones.... Hopefully the ones I sent WwRGSwW will work and he can complete the IMAGETBL.DAT to go with it giving us a completely updated Nav DVD. If not, Im hoping someone can use these and incorporate them into the Nav DVD along with an updated IMAGETBL.DAT file. Thanks to WwRGSwW for testing them out and using a bunch of DL DVDs. finalXMDPS.zip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WwRGSwW Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 here is my new issue, BGG made all these icons and named them what the chans are named, except some of the old stations like 27 still work... Im almost at the point of just writing my own new imagetbl and screw pioneers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
axxman Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I am going to buy some more DL discs tonight. except some of the old stations like 27 still work... if this is the case, is it just the pim that needs to be swapped out with the new one and the appropriate name? The excel doc I posted earlier indicates which old icons still work, it seems that even though the channel number changed, but name stayed the same so it finds the pim. in this scenario, changing the PIM file should give the correct logo. assuming there is a new one. if the channel name changed, then the imagtbl.dat file needs to have a name change. such as xm chill, which is now Sirius XM Chill. I guess what I am getting at is there are a couple of different scenarios here, I am going back to my excel doc to see what I can do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(DPS076.PIM) make sense? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bggull Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 As far as the icon names go: If the channel's icon did not change but the channel changed numbers then i saved the existing icon. The icon file was simply renamed to the appropriate number. So what im saying is the channel numbers will match the icon file numbers. Hope this helps... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

axxman Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 just made another coaster. I must be doing something wrong. everytime I make any changes to the .dat file, no icons show up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WwRGSwW Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Did you use BGG's icons? I am going out to my truck to test his icons right now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WwRGSwW Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I tested some of his icons, they work... the comedy one is messed up color wise (150) and I could not get "AREA" working (80) Its hit and miss... but that DAT File I posted earlier does work! It may not work perfectly with BGG's icons, but it works with factory icons... and my custom ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
