this might be a stupid question but when you do this mod, do you actually have to mark yourself where these cameras and speed traps are? because if you do, i have absolutely no idea where any are lol..

 

Reading the very first message in the thread would make one believe that there is a camera database included (not that anyone makes any warranties as to its completeness, accuracy, etc.)/...

 

doh, sorry.. i read all the pages too.. i guess i missed the important part. thank you for clearing that up for me.

I couldnt click the x in test mode no matter how many times i calibrated it. I found i just drag that window to the corner and work around it.

 

Is there a way to make a simple ding. When coming to a redlight camera?

 

We dont have speed cameras around here just redlight ones. And the muting of the music while you sit and wait for the light gets to me Is there a way to just make a simple ding or something?

 

Also nice job it was easy to install and so far works. It has almost all of the redlight cameras in my area except a few of the new ones.

 

I would like to know this as well. In my city we have tons of speed traps and red light cameras and it seems the alarm goes off everytime I got over 66 KM/H?

 

Very easy to install, and great addition. Hoping there is a workaround the dings though.

After looking it over i wonder if i can rename alert1 with alert3. alert3 is just a simple beep. But im pretty sure it loops. Im trying to find where it pulls from apraching and simple.

Boris what do you think? I PM'd you a while back about the addition of an alert mute function added into this mod as an update. Do you think it is possible or likely? If so, that would be a great update to this mod.

I am testing someone else's modified speedcam file that gives a spoken notice about a camera once (Something like "Red Light Camera ahead. Speed Limit 30 mph"). Right now it only works in Russian and since it is not mine I am not at liberty to post it, but once it has been tested I am sure author will release it here.

that sounds great. I was searching up and down were they store the info to loop alert1.wav when aproching a speedcam but never found it. sounds like the author found it. Cant wait for this release.

i also would like to keep my existing data zip. is there anyway i can do this mod and keep my settings? i have mavericksters mods and they are sweet! id prefer to keep them.

Posted Dec 11, 2008 · 14:44 UTC#34

depending on how many mods you guys have, if you have the codes for the mods already done, cant you just apply those codes to the .zip file attached to this thread? and get the camera mod and re-apply whichever ones u already have?

Posted Dec 11, 2008 · 14:47 UTC#35

not that easy for me. i already downloaded a premodded data zip. and it would be much easier for me and a few others to add this to the other data zip

Posted Dec 11, 2008 · 16:39 UTC#36

You could simply apply files that are changed for speedcams (one line in SYS.TXT, not strictly necessary), speedcamXXX.ui, and placeXXX.ui on top of Mav's mods. I do not think his change any of these files...

That's correct. My mods don't touch any of those files.

Well, let's be honest here, you can take my data.zip and follow Boris' suggestion, or you can take the data.zip provided in this thread and add my mods one at a time. If the former doesn't work, the latter shouldn't be that terribly complicated since I've detailed the "how to" of each mod in painstaking detail in my mods thread.

ok folks i am gonna try to tackle this on my own. i hate to sound ignorant or annoying, but could you point me to where i have to change the line in

 

sys.txt and what to change it too?

 

and where to put

 

speedcamxxx.ui and placexxx.ui?

 

thank you!

To make it easier for everyone (and to save me from reading dozens of PMs):

 

in SYS.TXT, find [debug] section and add a line, if it's not there:

speedcam_enabled=1

 

Then:

extract the file from the attachment to SD card and copy ui_pioneer folder to APL2\iGO.

 

You will have settingXXX.ui files (to turn speedcamera functions on and off) and placeXXX.ui files to add/edit cams manually.

Is there any word when the author might release it. I understand he wants to make sure it works before he puts it out but something to keep me hopeful. Im still digging in the system to see if i can find it myself, But dont have all the time in the world. For the people complaining about adding mods. I add them in stages. I did mavs first. and saved the files then i copied them an added speedcam mod, and saved it. So i have a copy of ever big change i made prior to the new change. Helps if something goes wrong you dont have to start over.

When it is all good and ready, I suppose. FWIW it seems to work fine, and uses pretty standard radar warning patch for iGO (if you feel really adventurous you could download one from, say, http://www.gurjon.com ) but settings need to be adapted to our screen size...

Posted Dec 12, 2008 · 19:19 UTC#43

Is this hack only for the F series? Does it work for the Z3?

F-series only. Z runs entirely different Navi software

Thanks i will give it a go. To bad the readme is also russian. me and babbelfish will be spending some time together this weekend. Also if that is the guy putting out the hack it says on the information page the are putting development on hold.

Actually Gurjon is sitll producing skins pretty actively, they are just trying to deal with NavNGo releasing multiple 8.3.x releases that break existing skins, and AVIC patch is by someone else.

 

I can translate the readme easily. Actually, here it is (adapted for us a bit):

 

Speed Camera Pathc 3.9

Supports iGO 6 and Ultra skin voices

Do not use for skins with voiced radars.

 

Installation:

1. If there are no other patches, extract with the same structure

2.

 

Voices:

1. iGO 6 voices go into root of AUDIO folder inside main iGO folder

2. Ultra voices go into AUDIO folder as follows:

Riussian - Audio\RU\voice_male (and voice_female)

English - AUDIO\EN\voice_male (and voice_female)

American - AUDIO\US\voice_male (and voice_female)

...same for others...

 

Settings in voice_var.ini

1. Visibility flag in islider - for both voices

;US English Male - (0- hidden, 1 - visible)

2. Pauses before second part of the phrase (speed limit) - only for Ultra voices

; US English Male

vSoundDelay0.set 10

vSoundDelay1.set 30

vSoundDelay2.set 70

vSoundDelay3.set 190

 

These values can be any positive number multiple of ten.

Missing languages turned off.

 

Camera overspeed warning signal

1. You can choose from 6 stock sounds and 4 user sounds (the later needs to be called the same as button and placed in AUDIO).

2. To turn off stock overspeed warning, add to SYS.TXT or SISTEM.INI

[warning]

overspeed_sound=1

Thanks that is a big help. Havent even had the unti for a week and already diving into the belly of the beast.

Have fun!

 

iGO is a rather typical Eastern European product -- it is more powerful than anything else out there, but actually accessing that power is left as an exercise for the reader. Even iGO's default stock skin only scratches the surface of what can be done with it, and Pioneer;'s is even less than that...

This is really great!!!

What does "DIRTYPE" and "DIRECTION" in the txt file mean? What values can these paramters have? Is it right that the txt files could be named as I want? What values can "TYPE" have and what does that mean?

 

How could the icon be changed to show the different types of speed cams? When I delete a cam within the Navic, it is still in the txt file. Where has it then been deleted from?

 

Thank you very much for your help.

 

You should have a look at http://www.navifriends.com because they hava a huge speedcam database for europe (in which you can add/delete/edit cams as you want)

Direction states weather the cam points east to west and so on be default all the cams in the file are 4 way. But direct gives you the option if they only run one way. Im not sure on dirtype, type is which cam is shown. You can change the icon that pops up in the warning not sure if you can change the whole poi icon for it or not but im not seeing anyplace to.
