Is there any reason you would know of for the route info button not moving to where I specify? Since I am using a modified version of the original file in the first post, I tried moving the icon to y=190, but it looks like it remains in its older position while all other icons move to where I assign on the y coordinate. And yes, I updated all three entries in that location to the same y coordinate.

 

Bizarre!

Isn't that the button that is also being moveв around by script code? Search for the name of the button across script files (ones in common directory) and you should find where its location is being updated...

Got it, thanks. It was the common/ui files for navigatemap and start.

If anyone is interested, I modified the blank screen BMP file so that it has an alpha channel through where the clock is on the screen. This is only for IF YOU HAVE INTEGRATED THE LATEST VERSION POSTED BY mikegedge IN THE ORIGINAL POST OF THIS THREAD.

Download the attached BMP file and drop it into the ui_pioneer\800_480 folder. Then edit your ui_pioneer\800_480\ui\navigatemap_800_480.ui file where it calls 746_32K_MN-000_24b.bmp, and replace the name with 746_32K_MN-000_24b_alt.bmp.

It will now keep the clock visible, and to return to regular screen view, you just touch anywhere in the black part of the screen.

Enjoy.

im a little confused about this. ive done the software mod so i know how to get it in boot mode. Do i just copy this data.zip and paste it over the one i just put in to do the bypass? Its the same file right?

Also if anyone can answer this my map looks pretty bland its night time i dont know if that makes a difference its just brown and looks nothing like these.

I'm also a little confused, I have Ceger's modified ui file. Does this new update on the first page include those changes? If not, what do I need to modify to make these two work together?

Take the data_pkg zip and copy the contents into the APL2/IG0 directory. It will drop in the new fonts, SYS.txt and data.zip update.

As for adding my modified image for showing the clock, get my zip and follow the directions...

NOTE: The data.zip must remain a zip. You can explore the zip by right clicking on the folder in explorer mode and then choose "explore". You just drag and drop in my new image file, and copy the ui file somewhere outside the zip so that you can modify it. When done with modification to point to new BMP file, simply drag and drop the update ui file intot he correct directory location in the zip.

If you are talking about my other mod with updates icons, just compare ui files to mikegedge's and you will see what needs to be modified.

Honestly, if you are not familiar with what you are doing, just leave well enough alone and try getting mikegedge's mod to work on its own.

so i just download the file and copy it over to my sd card. go into boot mode and find the same place i put the other data.zip file over the stock one to do the bypass and paste this over that? just trying to clarify before i do this.

Nice job on these scripts.

Two things. One; pressing the clock does not blank the screen for me. I am unsure I care

Two; is there a way to change the green "bar" at the top to another color?

I would like the clock say dark red, dark blue or black with white numbers. Just so it stands out a bit more than the green.

The BMP filename is time.bmp. You can edit it yourself. There is a similar BMP for the backgorund that the speed and altitude appear on as well.

Text color is in hex RGB values that follow #RRGGBB where values for each run from 00 (darkest) to FF (lightest). A program like photoshop or any web image editing tool will help give you the values for colors you are looking for. i.e. #000000 is black while #FFFFFF is white. brightest pure red would be #FF0000, etc..

So, im confused. I want all these mods. Which file do i download?

ok so far this is the best zip I have tried on here.. now I was wondering if some one can help me do something to it.. 1 st.. I would like to remove the backgrouund bar that the KMH sits on... I Dont care about elevation.. so we can get rid of that.. and I would also like to have ALL the short cuts gone from the left side is there someone here who could show me how to do this are just remake the zip for me??? thanks...

*Blank out 99% of the screen by pressing the clock in the upper right

 

Mike, could you please specify this string for me?

Everything is labeled in the navigatemap_800_480.ui file located in the data.zip file at ui_pioneer\800_480\ui. No one is likely to make changes since you usually need to edit the file and then load it to see if it did what you wanted. That is a time consuming process and would mean someone undoing what they have to make something custom for you.

But if you just look through the file and compare to your original, you will find all the areas to change. Some highlights for you are below.

Left icons are at ";quick menu"

speed and altitude at top are at ";*** current speed, altitude when not navigating"

Not sure where the background image for that is; just look through the code.

SO... if I just delete that stuff.. will I get rid of the side icons?

I am not sure to start deleting at the ""

I would think that I just delete the reference to the buttons.. but what do I know.. I dont wanna brick it..

and I have NO idea what to delete to get rid of the blue bar that the MPH and Altimeter sits on... but I did find that line in the file.. just tell me what to delete and Ill be ok...

thanks...

The safe thing to do since you're just getting into the files is to comment out the lines you think are the ones you want toget rid of. Commenting out is to insert a semicolon " ; " at the beginning of the script.

If the unit doesn't load you can start removing some of the " ; " to see if it'll re-start for you. I'm guessing you have back ups too.

N E S W... you lost me on that.. I re read that over and over and it just doesnt click for me.. what do you mean.. is what I posted gonna work?

and yes. I have back ups..

*Blank out 99% of the screen by pressing the clock in the upper right

 

 

Mike, could you please specify this string for me?

 

 

Mine does not work either for some reason. Pressing the clock does nothing. weird

found it!

The script that activates this blank screen (besides AV info and I BELIEVE also the info box contents) is located in the scripts_800_480.ui

Also do not forget to load a rather large button that covers the whole screen, needed to activate to show the screen again

It is a different script than the "screen off' button in the settings.

Part is in the scripts_800_480.ui almost at the bottom and the other part is in the navigatemap_800_480.ui

I'm just moving the image back and forth. That's all.

The data_pkg.zip file is not working.

I am getting the following error for all the files:

Can someone re-upload the file please?

The files are fine, you need to download the file and unzip with the password on your computer because there are other files that need to be included with the data.zip file. Please unzip and try again.

dude can ya give me a hand in what to delete? if you have the time... thanks

Got it to work after downloading a new version of Winrar. Had an older version of Winrar that hadn't been updated in years and only that file wouldn't extract.

You can delete these all together or comment them out. If you comment them out, you can reverse that later if you want it back on.

The semi-colon only goes befroe the left angle bracket. Here I'll show you with the code you listed.

That essentially stops igo from reading the lines with the semi-colon......easier to reverse if you need to later on. Once you're sure you don't want them, you can then go in and delete the lines all together.

If you look at the file, you'll notice there are notes in there with a semi-colon in front. You can add notes in there too as long as you put a semi-colon at the very beginning of the line.

One more thing, I'm not running the zip you're working on, but it looks like you want to get rid of a bunch of bmp's on the left side of the screen that are there when no route is active.

yes thats it....

and I decided on the whole MPH thing too.. I have a speedo for that... I will try it......

PS N S E W, what zip are YOU using? and if you can.. will you post it so I can try it also???

I'm using my own. Not ready to put it out there, maybe another time. Most of what I have I got from this site. A few things I did myself, but have posted the info in other threads. Lots of re-arranging things and playing with the coordinates of text and bmps. That's pretty time consuming. My best guess is I have between 200 and 300 hours in the damn thing. Good thing I have the 500 and sit in my chair and test in a warm environment. Almost everything I have has a shortcut added it to it. Didn't need additional bmps as real estate is getting tight as it is.
