BorisM

 

Would you please let me know if I ONLY want speedcam and redlight warning, what are the script files I need to modify? If I read the thread right, I assume place800_480.ui setting800_480.ui and speedcam800_480.ui are the only files I need to mod. However, is it possible to state which parts? Thanks.

 

Then adding "leetcoder"'s .kml POIs will work?

 

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

 

You're welcome.

 

For basic operation, you only need setting.ui and setting_800_480.ui (these let you turn on speedcam functionality). Or you can turn speedcams on in SYS.TXT.

 

Then you may want placeXXX.ui (you need both files in most cases) that lets you add new or edit existing cameras. I don't think I did anything beyond basic cleanup to speedcamXXX.ui files -- they are in fine condition as is, because the functionality is in Euro version of AVIC.

 

However, you do NOT want KML files. Those will work as normal POIs, not as speedcameras. In the speedcam thread I've posted a program that will convert VBLUE42's KML files (I don't remember offhand where he gets them) into TXT format that iGO takes. THere should be ocnverted files there as well...

boris, in the pioneer ini can I change the location of speedcam file to \my flash disk\igo?

 

Also, I could use some assistance, maybe we ca work on th I want to add the shortcuts, when I startup the navi it locks up and reboots, I went through each file with exam diff pro and found changes, but there are changes on yours that he didnt... this is your code cleaning... would that cause a problem?

You probably could, but why would you want to?

It shouldn't since it runs fine here. Can you isolate a specific file or file pair where the problem is? Then we can see what is breaking.

well I'm trying to gigure out where to put the speedcams so I don't need a SD card to load em, not to mention it would run better directly off hdd

 

im trying to get the crash file, i wasn't able to grab it

To make sure I understand right, let me summarize it.

 

So basically, I need to modify setting.ui and setting_800_480.ui and place.ui and place_800_480.ui and that's it?

 

Then comes out the second question, again, if I only want speedcam and redlight warning, copying those four files from your zip file to my data.zip

is totally okay? But I am conerning these files contain other functions that I may not be needed. Or is it possible just simply let me know which part of scripts I need to mod.

 

Thanks again for your help.

Just copy those files to your DATA.ZIP That is what I did and it works with no problems.

VBLUE -- thanks.

 

Keresene -- speedcam files (TXT oiGO imports) go into iGO\content\speedcam. The directory is on the headunit already. I never actually tried importing them off of SD card, but in any case iGO should read TXT files off of it and import them into internal database, so you do not need to keep the card inserted.

 

mattchench -- Yes, that should do it. I did add a few more settings to setting.UI (vehicle type and something else) but nothing out of the ordinary.

 

If you want to add speedcams ONLY search for a line commented by xucheng (one of Pioneer's skinwriters) where he оршвуы camera controls depending on your region, and set it to show always... Same thing in PLACE, if щнг are in US/Canada he hides Camera buttons, I just return to original code.

 

Don't forget to add actual camera data.

Posted Nov 14, 2008 · 17:21 UTC#135

Boris so if we just want to keep the speedcam settings and POI settings then all we need is place, setting, and poi ui files along with speedcam location file?

 

I already have those added to my avic, so can i go ahead and just copy Keeper or lava's data.zip, sys, and font files to my avic and everything will play nice? I'm referring to the quicklaunch thread.

 

Do we need your navigate file for those mods above to work? If so is it possible to highlight those sections so we know what part to copy to keepers file?

Posted Nov 14, 2008 · 17:25 UTC#136

Umm, no, nothing in Navigate that I changed should be connected with speedcameras.

 

I would start with copying their navigatemap files into a ui_pioneer folder to make sure you have something working on your system.

Posted Nov 14, 2008 · 17:45 UTC#137

I only need the navigate and navigate_800_400 files, not the whole data.zip? Also whats the purpose of the sys.txt file?

 

My understanding is this:

1. I copy your new ui_pioneer folder (speedcam, place, poi, setting) to my igo directory

2. take keepers 2 navigate files along with fonts, fonts in igo and navigate in your ui_pioneer folder that i copied onto avic. or add whole data.zip but backup original.

3. sys.txt, not sure if i need this file. but backup my original.

4. if things go bad, delete the ui_pioneer folder so i'll have original 2.0fw again. or restore data.zip.

5. if things are good, i should have speedcams, poi address, quicklaunch and other cleanups.

Posted Nov 14, 2008 · 18:41 UTC#138

Yes, this sounds about right.

Posted Nov 14, 2008 · 19:43 UTC#139

Ok i forgot one part. I would have to delete your navigate ui files from my ui_pioneer folder if i used keeper data.zip.

 

For your navigate files, did you only add housenumbers, clock and turn restrictions?

Posted Nov 14, 2008 · 20:00 UTC#140

Yes. If you want any of those they should be easy enough to merge into his navigatemap...

Posted Nov 15, 2008 · 20:19 UTC#141

Boris, your navigatemap 800 _ 400 what do you haave in there of importance, is that where you enable speedcams?

Posted Nov 15, 2008 · 20:30 UTC#142

Is there a way to change the way speedcams/lightcams alert you? The constant beeping is a little too much for me. It'd be great to just have one single audible alert: "You are approaching a camera".

 

Is this something we could do?

Posted Nov 15, 2008 · 23:09 UTC#143

WeApOn -

You could try setting it to Simple warning. Technically, it is possibly to have it telling you how mucdh you are speeding and all, but I need to do more skin research to figure out how to do that...

 

kerosene -

Navigatemap does not affect speedcamera functionality at all.

Hi boris,

 

The mods you made look great! Thanks.

I have tried to use this on a my European unit but the units hangs. I will not get further than the message: system starting up.

 

I have use the data.zip from lava and used all your scripts.

I used my sys.txt with european configuration. Else the traffic function does not work.

 

Do you have an idea why you mods do not work on my unit?

 

I have added the sys.txt so can see what the difference is.

 

Thanks. in advance.

SYS.TXT

Posted Nov 17, 2008 · 12:28 UTC#145

did you edit those files with notepad? if so try another editor like Crimson Editor...

Posted Nov 17, 2008 · 15:00 UTC#146

Lava's data.zip is similar to mine, and I have not been able to get boris's mods to work either. Something conflicts between our two set ups and I am definitely having difficulty figuring it out.

Other than your 3D car icon settings being on a (very) small size, SYS.TXt looks good. I think it is a conflict somewhere in the scripts... Which mods are you trying to implement on your system? (I believe things like Speed Cameras you get from the factory anyway so you don't need that)...

Posted Nov 17, 2008 · 16:48 UTC#148
OK< new scripts are attached to the first message in the thread.

 

Changes:

 

1. Added ALL POI button on POI screen. Pressing will return list of all POIs within currently selected category.

 

2. Speed Camera settings/editing

 

3. House Numbers on the current street line

 

4. Turn Restriction sign

 

5. Vehicle type selection (all options) even for 700-900-90 (500 only lets you select car/pedestrian)

 

6. Snap to Road as an option

 

7. Misc. cleanup

 

8. Search POI at address option

 

Boris - I just want to add the "Snap to Road" option... but can't figure out where/how to get this. I have made several changes to my unit, so I do not want to copy in your files directly. Can you tell me where and what you changed to get this enabled?

That would be in settings.ui file.

Assuming you have 700-900-90 models (500 has a pedestrian mode already).

 

In setting_800_480.ui find the ui_SettingRoute layer, increase the H of the layer to, say, 2000 and add this:

 

 

In setting.ui find st_SettingRoute state. To init script add:

 

runif vGPSPositionToRoad 1 'rg_keeppos.set "On"'

else_run 'rg_keeppos.set "Off"'

 

to done script add

runif rg_keeppos "On" 'vGPSPositionToRoad.set 1'

else_run 'vGPSPositionToRoad.set 0'

 

I think thius should do it.

In the lava.zip are different hacks:

- five button on the screen

- mute button

- compass button

- stop navigation button

- other layout of the screen

- other fonts

 

But when i use the original european data.zip with your mods the error message is still the same. I have no clue.

Could you please upload your data.zip? Then i will try it with mine sys.txt.

Your mods looks great so i want to use them..

Thanks..
