This mod is terrific. Have a question. Is it possible to turn off the turn restrictions? The data is totally unreliable in Texas and would prefer not have that feature.

 

Thanks in advance. Am I missing on how to do this?

I have been thinking about it too. I am thinking it might be easier for me to put a toggle to turn it on/off than to remove it. At the current time there is no way to turn it off but there will be.

OK I have it added with a default value of off. That Navigation Screen details screen is getting pretty long. I will post an update as soon as I can get some more info on the elevation when smartzoom is off.

Great! Just yell when it's a go. I assume I'll just need to re-download from page 1 to get it???

Also, could you please re-post your payPal info...there may be others who want to contribute as well if they see it.

 

What is the elevation of the guidance when not using the autozoom feature? When I turn off autozoom it fits the route on the screen and then you have to zoom in to see the street level detail each time. I have a feeling this is not normal? I always use autozoom so how does it normally behave. Not sure if there is a sys.txt variable I am leaving out.

 

paypal info is [email protected] :)

 

Thanks!

 

All I can tell you is there was always a toggle button on/off for smart zoom in settings before your mod loaded. I prefer to have it toggled off so that the angle I set remains constant. If smart zoom is toggled on, it always returns to default horizon no matter where I set it. I like to use a setting closer to level (or flat if you will) so there is more sky viewable, especially since your mod obscures most of the sky with the top info bar.

I hope this helps. Maybe another member can add to this...anyone?

Thanks Diaftia :D

Yes I love this mod but it kinda feels useless to me now that I can't adjust zoom and angles, unless I am missing something. Keep up the hard work Daftia!

If you set tilt up and tilt down at 90 on the options, it seems to work ok.

Do you mean the tilt/zoom/rotate feature when in 3D mode? If so it was working sporadically but I think I have it working correctly now. I will test everything on the way home today.

 

Changes so far are:

 

Turn restrictions toggle with default of off

Tilt/Zoom controls in 3D mode

Smart Zoom settings now include toggle for on/off

Signposts option of on/off/while navigating only (Same as Stanislavovich added to the last set of his mods)

 

These are pretty good and counting that there are no bugs I will release a MSN'less version too.

Sounds like a winner :D

maybe if you modded everything from stock up then you can be proud of not having any bugs, using someone else's mod as a base and taking credit for it is a totally different story,

Wow, you are welcome for providing free options to a community of users for nothing while giving credit to the respective contributors along the way. In 36 pages of posts, you are the first to bring anything negative to the thread.

 

Hey, if what I am doing here is not appreciated I can do all this for myself and not publish it for everyone else to use.

diaftia don't listen to this guy. your work is very appreciated by many here, myself included. not sure what his problem is. :roll:

WTF is this guy on about?His username says it all.Keep up the brilliant work Diaftia.You and the other modders on here are really appreciated by the rest of us who have now got a useable system compared to the original pile of s**t before we installed the mods.The hardest part is choosing which mod to use as they are all incredible.

Posted Oct 10, 2009 · 06:11 UTC#538

Ignore this ungrateful bum. Keep up the good work. I've been using your mods for my X910BT. Much appreciated.

Can I just copy the latest Version (10/8/09) over that one from 10/5/09 without deleting the files described in step 16? Or do I have to delete that files everytime I install the latest versions from now?

 

Are you interested in a german release of your mod? I would like to change your mod on my AVIC to a "as far as possible german" mod!

 

Could it be, that I can't open and edit some images with Photoshop? I have changed different bitmaps, but tere are several, that are not shown in Windows Explorer and if I try to open them with any program (Photoshop / IrfanView / Paint / Windows Photo Gallery) there comes an error message "No valid bitmap format or filetype not supported." How do I edit those files? :?:

 

I have another request: Could you please change the "wood" design on speedo? I think this does not fit to the whole mod and modern cars! If I change the icon "AJG_Wood.bmp" I have the problem, that in speedo-mode there appears a little "wood" stripe left and right of the image that stays in wood design? Or what else do I have to edit for that?

Download Ipaq Image Viewer http://software.informer.com/getfree-ipaq-image-viewer/ to open .bmp's without the error. Then you can use Photoshop to edit.

Diaftia, I have been a long-time lurker and in pretty much amazement of your programming and modding talents. I'm sure you have a silent following of admirers. (Pissdrunx is invited to slip back into his stupor and hopefully won't be heard from again - in the mean time, ignore the bad apple). Thank you for your time and sharing your work with the interested masses.

Dumb @$$!

Thank you everyone for the kind words many of you have expressed. It is good to know that there are people out there that enjoy the collective efforts that are being put together here.

 

Testing went well yesterday. I think I am getting a little more efficient at this coding thing. ;). I should be able to package all this stuff up and release when my son goes down for a nap today.

 

Thanks,

 

Alex

I really like the mod. The new cockpit view is awesome. The only feature I would like to see added to the cockpit view would be a mute button. Also, is there a way to have a button to switch from normal navigation view to overview, so you can either see current location or the full route plotted out?

 

Thanks again. A modest paypal donation is on the way.

 

Jim

 

Thanks for the donation Jim! Always appreciated.

I see the settings for smart zoom, but can I turn it off?

Unbelievable work! Donation to your paypal acct. forthcoming!

I also noticed that the option to toggle smart zoom off was gone, making it impossible to hold the horizon where you want it. Am I missing a setting somewhere, or did you do this for a purpose?

 

I appreciate the donation, John!

 

Thanks!

It works for me. You might need to calibrate your screen.

Hey diaftia, I was wondering if it were possible to make the time to destination and miles to destination boxes a little bigger. I know there isn't much room to work with but they are so small I sometimes press the wrong one while driving. It looks like you might be able to shave a little off the top box.

 

Also, is it possible to make it say AM/PM for those of us who have it set to the 12 hour clock. It's not that big a deal, but it makes it easier to distinguish between distance and time at quick glance.

10/10/09:

1. Turn restrictions toggle with default of off

I recommend you do this only when there are changes to the settings pages and the default options wheich there were in these versions. So in thise case yes. It is good practice anyway.

 

Are you interested in a german release of your mod? I would like to change your mod on my AVIC to a "as far as possible german" mod!

I dont speak German so whatever does not translate by setting the regional settings you are always welcome to change just as I have! I encourge you to do it!

Use the ipaq image viewer to decode the files as mentioned. No need to reencode them.

 

I have another request: Could you please change the "wood" design on speedo? I think this does not fit to the whole mod and modern cars! If I change the icon "AJG_Wood.bmp" I have the problem, that in speedo-mode there appears a little "wood" stripe left and right of the image that stays in wood design? Or what else do I have to edit for that?

Feel free to use these extra backgrounds if you like:

 

Speedo.rar

 

As far as the wood strip you could use photoshop to color it solid or just remove it by putting a semicolon in front of that line in the speedometer800_480.ui file. To remove the stripe at the top remove the k_header_2.bmp line.
