N-S-E-W Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Or you can add to the sys.txt file: [poi] use_multi_poi_icon=0 With this code, do the icons still crowd causing some to not show? What I noticed is that the one closest to you shows first followed by the next and so on. I don't show a bunch of POI's, mainly my banks ATM's and Shell gas stations, so it may be different for others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hube2002 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Changing the values is the way to go...photos a little fuzzy but it definitely improves the overall experience. Seems to lag a little... It seems as though some pop up just after i pass them while others appear far ahead of me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 As you get closer to the POI the angle changes which will reveal the ones that are crowding together as they move out of each others view. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hube2002 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I am using IDT's mod, Abb's img.res, & DPdurst schemes, I changed the values to 79from 74 in the data file but it did not take care of the diamond, is this because I did not change the branding zip? The one in IDT's mod has all the icons so I thought I could just change the value to 79 but no luck, I also added the code from N-S-E-W [ poi] use_multi_poi_icon=0 It did not work either, is this because I have to use your branding.zip? Is there something I can change in the one I have in place to make the hack work? I had this working but I reinstalled everything and just didn't want to change the branding zip if not necessary, because I have to reassign almost every icon, again.....

VBLUE42 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I dont think it matters which branding file you use. I am actually using someone else's file that is an edited version of mine and it works fine. You might want to check and make sure the multipoi file is edited properly. There may be something else in IDT's mod that is affecting it as well sense it was working before you reinstalled the mod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hube2002 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 This is how the multipoi looks; $poi_mapdistant.bmp $poi_mapclose.spr 79 poi_mapclose.spr 79 [poi] use_multi_poi_icon=0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hube2002 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I will ask IDT, but hate to bother him too much, seems his plate is always full. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 He is going to be out of the game for good soon. Try reversing the sys.txt edit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hube2002 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Try reversing the sys.txt edit. Could you expand on this? I'm probably lost here but what sys.text edit? I don't recall which edit in sys.text affects this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hube2002 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 oh.. the multipoi.icon do you mean remove this [poi] use_multi_poi_icon=0 or remove the other text and just leave this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Remove the entry you added earlier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hube2002 - VBLUES method is executed in the data.zip. What I posted is an entry to the sys.txt file located in the apl2 folder. I never saw a diamond on my unit with the sys.txt entry listed above.
