Hmm, I'm lost now LOL. So where is the data for the date drawn from, if not a template? Is it a textmodel? Sorry for being a bit dim regarding this, I still got a lot to learn!

The code you added in is in the navigate800_480 file

 

I think the date info that we can't access is built in the executable.

I'm OK with the settings etc. in >navigate_800_480, thats where I have done most of my alterations. But I've found a shed load of info including date format/delimiter, clock format, allsorts: it's in >setting_800_480. Gona do some exploring now :)

 

Edit - there's all the info regarding date order, delimiter etc., i.e.

 

DD.MM.YYYY

MM/DD/YYYY

DD-MM-YYYY

 

:)

You'll also need to find the corresponding templates in the template file and make the same changes there if you're going change anything.

 

Try adding w=200 and move your "y" value a bit to the left say maybe 20 to 30 over in your code and see what that looks like before you mess with all the other files.

No updates to this as to how to modify the date templates, etc. I am very interested in what date changes can be made.

Wow, my first mod!! No one had it back then on the Avic's.

 

Copy the code from above and change the x and y setting to where you want it. The date format is still controlled through the regional settings.

As for updates I was referring to this info to possible change the delimiters. etc.

It's controlled by the settings in regional settings. Go look at them, the choices are there.

 

The problem dumpystig was having was because he didn't allow enough width for the size of font he was using. So the numbers were squished making hard to read. If you're putting it in an wide open area you can omit the "w" all together. Just make sure start it for enough over so it doesn't run off the screen.

Thanks.

 

I will play around with this as soon as I find time. I think I will setup an emulator for testing.
