JasonH Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I have to give huge props to "Vandal" for putting this program together! Everything below is due to him! This release contains the updated raw logos and default channel mapping for the August 2009 logo update. This program takes raw 32-bit transparent PNG logo images by channel number and size and automatically converts them into the special formats used by the various AVIC units. It handles all of the dirty work involving color conversion, handling of special transparent colors and backgrounds specific to each AVIC series, and generation of RGB 555 Bitmap files and/or PIM formatted files with the appropriate LPS/DPS numbered filename. Using this program you can now edit or create you own logos using Photoshop or any other application without worrying about the technical details or hassles of formatting it for you AVIC unit. The only rules are you must mainting the appropriate image size, keep the bankground transparent (in most cases), and save the logo as a 32-bit PNG. This program also generates the IMAGETBL.DAT file and allow modification of the channel and category mappings. You can adjust the mappings if you want to restore a logo to a station that has changed its name or find the station ID of a new channel. All the 1000+ transparent 32-bit PNG source logos that were used to build the 3-23-09 logo pack are included and channel/category logo mapping will default to 3-23-09 release making the program ready to go on start. This program will be updated with each logo pack release to provide the updated raw logo images and default channel/category mapping information. Detailed instructions are included that documents everything you could ever want to know about XM logos on the AVIC series. Note: This program does NOT handle the extraction of the logo images from the XM channel list PDF. That process is still a lengthy manual process using Inkscape to make giant PNG files of the logos in various sizes and then a program that take 20-30 run and requires many tweaks. At this point it is unlikely I will ever be able to make a program that will fully automate that process. Requirements: - Windows XP, Vista, 2003 Server, or 2008 Server - .NET Framework versions 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, and 3.5. The program will not run if you do not have the sufficient .NET framework versions installed. The above listed Windows versions can be updated with the .NET framework by going to http://update.microsoft.com. It is recommended that you install the AppleRGB.icc color profile before running the program for the first time as this profile will be set as the default if it is present. To install any of the color profiles simple browse to the "Color Profiles" subdirectory, right click on the profile file and select "Install Profile". Features/Bug Fixes for this Version: - An adjustment to how the IMAGETBL.DAT is build with regard to the categories entries in another attempt to resolve the problem with categories logos not working correctly on the AVIC D and N series. If this fails it is likely this problem will not be resolved until Pioneer releases the next map disk and program update DVD. - The F Series logos can be generated with a background that matches the rest of the display instead of the grey background pattern used by Pioneer.

JasonH Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Sorry guys, I have no idea where that original file is, and I don't have backups of 2009. Link to post Share on other sites
Harvey_Gordon Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Just letting you know, I didn't have to do a thing. My presets were still the same and the channels on my XM were all aligned. I did nothing, but everything is where it should be. Go figure! hg Link to post Share on other sites
