AndyAlex Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I really think this should be a mod fork, as it has a pretty different look. I really dislike all the transparency. I love all the new features but I'm sticking with the previous mod because of the look. It's really what brought me here in the first place. Thanks for making the version I'm using so great before changing the look, Alex, you did a fantastic job. FF Agreed. Was not able to get out to test the MSN version today, Alex. Hopefully someone else was able too. I just got back from my little trip with MSN version. It all seems to work the same. Cameras are still off, but I was able to mess with routing, etc, while driving. Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyAlex Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 That last post may not be that clear. On the speed cameras, I mean they are not accurate (not turned off). And being able to search, etc, works on both the MSN and non-MSN version for me, just the same. aa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gremlin190 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I'm going to post here becuase I'm using this mod, and have some comments to make. My speed cameras look to be exactly where they should be. Only a couple are off. However, with that said, my cameras aren't true speed cameras. The ones in the city are actually red light cams and the ones elswhere I imagine are known police hideouts. Avic-f700bt no MSN official 3.0 firmware and this is the first mod short of the newest map update. Questions and comments On the top where the road you are is listed, Could there be some more space between the road name and the hwy number. The 3 digit road number almost runs into the street name. Is there a way to make the 3D mode always stay flat where everything is in front of you. I was reading thru the thread and just thought maybe I need to turn off smartzoom to do this ? Whenever I adjust the angle to flat, it stops navigation on the screen Also, do we have a way to change the arrow to a car with this mod??? The only other issue I have is when I hit poi on the actual menu that you built and search for a gas station, I do not get any results. I have tried Proper Names and generic stuff like resturaunt, city name, so forth. Thanbks for the good work. I do like how clean everything is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gremlin190 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Updated, I found my issue with the 3D flatness level. It was related to smart zoom. I made the adjustments, and it's set to my liking. I wish i could adjust by increments of 5 instead of 10, but it's close enough Also, My POI stuff started working yesterday. I need to play more, but I think it started to work. So now I'm down to 2 questions/request: On the top where the road you are is listed, Could there be some more space between the road name and the hwy number. The 3 digit road number almost runs into the street name. Also, do we have a way to change the arrow to a car with this mod??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately I am not certain what exactly is needed. Here is what I did: Using 7zip I unpacked the data.zip and copied the snowmobile.mdl and tex file to the gfx folder. The using 7zip I recreated the data.zip I also added the 3dcars folder to the root and the themechanger folder with mortscript incisde to the root as well. I have tried hot_rod_red and snowmobile and they both work. Here is what I added to my sys.txt [map] 3d_scale_carmodel=1 3d_roads=1 3d_max_tiltlevel=8800 3d_max_zoomlevel=1500 3dcarsizemin=5000 3dcarsizemax=8000 3dcarsizemul=30000 [3dcar] work_dir=""\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo" mortscript=""\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo\Themechanger\MortScript.exe" [3d] car_day=snowmobile.mdl car_night=snowmobile.mdl ghost_day=snowmobile.mdl ghost_night=snowmobile.mdl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snake212 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 after using the mod for a while i got the hang of it. but im having an issue where when driving normal with no destination it doesnt tell me the current street name on the bottom or top like it used to. i looked in the settings and its called current lane info or something like that, so i turned it off then on again but nothing changed i even turned cockpit view on then off again but still nothing.

diaftia Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thanks for looking into it. One more question. Is is possible to remove the speed camera icons from the map. No speed cameras where I live, it just points out traffic cameras. I did disable the warning and stuff but the icon is still there. Thanks for your help. Turn them off. Not just the warnings and all of the icons go away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am really not seeing this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Questions and comments On the top where the road you are is listed, Could there be some more space between the road name and the hwy number. The 3 digit road number almost runs into the street name. Unfortunately I am at the mercy of iGo on this one. What I have in the next version though is a toggle for the non-shielded text. This will make it so that the people on 700's that have colored out freeway signs can go back to the old style. The old style also has better spacing. Is there a way to make the 3D mode always stay flat where everything is in front of you. I was reading thru the thread and just thought maybe I need to turn off smartzoom to do this ? Whenever I adjust the angle to flat, it stops navigation on the screen Yes, turn off smartzoom and your tilt/zoom angle settings will be saved. You can also go into the smart zoom settings and shove them all the way to the right. That will do it too if you like smartzoom. Also, do we have a way to change the arrow to a car with this mod??? Yes, change daycar.bmp and nightcar.bmp to the bmp's of your choice. The only other issue I have is when I hit poi on the actual menu that you built and search for a gas station, I do not get any results. I have tried Proper Names and generic stuff like resturaunt, city name, so forth. I will look into this. Thanbks for the good work. I do like how clean everything is You're welcome.

There is show lane info and current street. If the current street setting is not doing anything delete your save files. For some reason this setting seems to directly conflict with other settings from other mods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Next week I'll be going on a trip, so I'll check it then. I took some pics of where a couple of them are, but they're not very good. I'll try later with some more pics.
