DIRTYPE determines whether the camera looks _only_ in the direction specified by DIRECTION field, in that direction and back as well, or in all directions...

And what values do I have to write for DIRTYPE? Is DIRECTION filled with for example "120" (Degree) or is it "NE" (North-East)?

Direction - camera angle in degrees, 0 - North, 90 - East etc.

 

Dirtype - 0: All Directions. 1 - One direction. 2 - Direction an opposite

Thanks for the additional directions on the integration with alternate data files. Its nice to have Maverick's customizations and the speed camera's. I commute through Fremont, CA and all along the BART route they have red light camera's to catch people dashing for the train. Bastards.

 

Nice work Boris and VBLUE. :)

Boris,

 

Any news on the one warning and done option? This f'n dog barking is about to drive me insane as I live in the Dallas, TX area and speed traps are all over the place.. I like the warning, but it's like walking into the SPCA dog kennels at dinner time with a raw steak right now.

Still trying to see if the original author is doing anything with it... If not, I'll try to do it myself...

I posted a fix for that already in another thread. The file I provide here also has that already replaced with a more appropriate audio file.

Yeah, but that just replaces the sound. The one I have will say something like "Speed Camera ahead. Speed Limit 30 miles per hour". Unfortunately only in Russian so far...

I installed the hack and it works as supposed to. But when i approach a red light camera, the distance to the camera is correct and is reduced as i get closer to the cam, but for some reason all of the cams around town show the speed limit as 66mph and it doesnt change. Did i do somhing wrong? I have to manaully enter the speed limit of each cam ? thanks for the reply..

The data files provided either don't have correct speed listed, or those are really just red light cameras but they got tagged with a (wrong) speed value...

that happened to me as well, what i did is i manually edited all of the cams,

is the size of the speed cam dependent on anything? i want to make the image larger so as when i'm using the navi in 3d i'll be able to see it better

Purely on the size of the camera image. (speedwarn.bmp or speedcam_bigicon.bmp I think).

is it in the common folder or the 800_400 folder? the camera that appears on my nav is 746_32K_OM-502_24b.bmp located in the 800 folder not the speed_cams.bmp that is in the commons folder

Is there a complete list of what specific files are necessary to do this mod? I want to integrate this into the Maverick Mod. I used and updated the files BorisM listed and had in his zip, but there must be something else missing since the system just hung at the System Starting Up message and then would reboot after 5 minutes, over and over.

 

I moved the Place and Setting 800_400 and Common UI files into my existing DATA.zip, updated the SYS.txt file to turn on SpeedCam, and copied the data txt files into the IG0/Content/Speedcam folder. There must be something else missing.

 

Any help appreciated. If someone has already added this to the Mav data file, willing to share?

Will this Speed Cam Mod work on the F500? Anyone?

Could be that one... I just checked the speedcam.icon file but it could be overridden somewhere...

Found a bug in this mod :cry:

 

When I;m driving from A to B passing a trajectctontrol (multiple speedcameras over an x stretch, calculating your average speed) all goes well.

 

link for exact traject

 

When I return from B to A passing that same traject it gets stuck after the first benchmark. It after that does react to new cameras, but after that always returns to some speedcam with 0m to go.

 

I can only get rid of it be deactivating the speedcams and reactivate them.

 

note:

there is a highway intersection right in the middle of this trajectcontrol, cams all over the place.

so it was the speedwarn.bmp, the edited image shows but still the same size, so what commands it to show a specific size?

As usual, you have to edit the .SPR file. speedwarn.spr says that the image is 16 pixels tall...

You're welcome.

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...

 

Speedcam and Place UI files, and not setting and place ones? That might be why I had the problem. Any new BMPs that need to be moved over as well?

 

I am asking because your zip had the latter 2 and not the speedcam one in it.

I made more changes than just speedcams in mine. Settings could be used too, but they mostly let you turn cams on and off, if you turn them on in SYS.TXT they will just stay like that...
