Rob-

 

I don't get it man. You are having problems with areas I have not touched. Well, bypass no, text yes. I am going to ask this only because you are talking about code that was not changed. Did you run a mod in between and delete your save files? Actually do it anyway this time in your case even in between versions. Also, bring up the speedometer and let me know if that screen is doing it too.

 

Do you have a 700?

 

Didnt/Dont run any mods other then this one. And deleted all save files(sans favorites). What I did was completely reloaded my original My Flash Disc. Added the newest maps, ezrider and license files(guess this would be considered a mod but you had told me they would work with your mod). Then DL'ed your latest mod version and added it. Deleted the save files. Then rebooted.

 

I'll check the Speedo and see what happens next time i get a chance. And yes, its the 700Bt.

 

Thanks

Interesting... I have some reports from a friend that his 700BT is doing this thing where its supposed to have an "EXIT 71" for an exit sign for example in the shielded text and it just colors it in.

Tell me this... when you upgraded to 3.0 did you do the Pioneer update to 3.0.1?

Yes, I did the legal, ordered from Pioneer update.

Ok, took a drive, opened a hole can of worms. First, I'm guessing because the bypass doesnt work, i cant use ANY on-screen "buttons" to change any settings(the dropdown menu, view mode( 3D 2D etc ) or anything else). So i pulled over in a parking lot. Put the brake on and changed to the speedo screen to test that. White square still appears on that screen where the road name should be. Sometimes its not there, sometimes it only covers half the road name, sometimes its nothing but a white box. Depends.

Think thats about all. I'll post more if I forgot something.

Its so odd... I just checked and the proper value is in there:

[pioneer]

parking_break_speed=256.0

I am going to have to look into this more. Not sure what to do about it if the parameter is in there and your unit is choosing to ignore it. Maybe some other 700 users can chime in and let me know if they are having this problem?

Can you verify that the correct model is in the sys.txt and that you have TestMode in the Regional Settings OFF?

Does it look like this (top and bottom):

I've only tried it while on the map screen, no destination. And its a white box, not yellow. But similar, yes.

Just chiming in as a 700 owner.

It's working fine for me (except one thing I'll mention below). I can do anything while driving, no white spaces.

For my system, I did put the "pre-release" 3.0 on. I have since purchased the Pioneer version but have not put it on yet. Just not sure I want to take a chance on messing with things, since it is working now.

The one thing that I have noticed, as someone else said, is that the speed cameras are a ways off. From the looks of it so far, they are all to the east of where they should be. Several hundred yards, putting some of them in unlikely places.

Can you verify two things?

1. Testmode is off

2. Sys.txt is set correctly

Also, are you using the non-msn version?

Rob/Andy-

Are you using the ezrider that is modded for elevation or the standard ezrider or standard hacked ezrider?

Can you try the MSN version and see if it fixes either of these things? I am wondering if something went screwy in the zipping process. It has happened before.

Thanks,

Alex

Not sure. I'm using THIS ONE posted by terron in the Updated Maps thread.

If i get the chance, I'll try the MSN version tomorrow.

Hey Alex,

It it possible to change the default zoom level? I changed: defaultzoom2d=1000 to 2000 on the sys file but I did not notice a difference. Also, I noticed in 2d mode the arrow goes from center to bottom center when a freeway sign pops up. Any way to keep the arrow at center?

Thanks,

Bryan

As far as I know that is all done in the sys.txt. I cant say that I have messed with those settings all that much. Just do some searching. I am sure there are several threads on it. If all else fails you can turn smartzoom off and it should stay at whatever elevation you choose.

I was able to replicate the problem with the signposts. I will take a look at it. Thanks for finding it. I cant say I ever use that version of the 2D map so I appreciate it. As a workaround you can turn signposts off to keep them from coming up and throwing the map off until I fix it.

I'm using the ezrider that was hacked for elevation and for maps. However, the cameras were off before I put that on.

I did get the MSN version on, but haven't gone anywhere yet. I'll be going out in a couple of hours so will see how that works.

Thanks for looking into it. One more question. Is is possible to remove the speed camera icons from the map. No speed cameras where I live, it just points out traffic cameras. I did disable the warning and stuff but the icon is still there. Thanks for your help.

I really think this should be a mod fork, as it has a pretty different look. I really dislike all the transparency. I love all the new features but I'm sticking with the previous mod because of the look. It's really what brought me here in the first place. Thanks for making the version I'm using so great before changing the look, Alex, you did a fantastic job.

Agreed.

Was not able to get out to test the MSN version today, Alex. Hopefully someone else was able too.

I just got back from my little trip with MSN version. It all seems to work the same. Cameras are still off, but I was able to mess with routing, etc, while driving.

Andy

That last post may not be that clear.

On the speed cameras, I mean they are not accurate (not turned off).

And being able to search, etc, works on both the MSN and non-MSN version for me, just the same.

I'm going to post here becuase I'm using this mod, and have some comments to make.

My speed cameras look to be exactly where they should be. Only a couple are off. However, with that said, my cameras aren't true speed cameras. The ones in the city are actually red light cams and the ones elswhere I imagine are known police hideouts.

Avic-f700bt no MSN official 3.0 firmware and this is the first mod short of the newest map update.

Questions and comments

On the top where the road you are is listed, Could there be some more space between the road name and the hwy number. The 3 digit road number almost runs into the street name.

Is there a way to make the 3D mode always stay flat where everything is in front of you. I was reading thru the thread and just thought maybe I need to turn off smartzoom to do this ? Whenever I adjust the angle to flat, it stops navigation on the screen

Also, do we have a way to change the arrow to a car with this mod???

The only other issue I have is when I hit poi on the actual menu that you built and search for a gas station, I do not get any results. I have tried Proper Names and generic stuff like resturaunt, city name, so forth.

Thanbks for the good work. I do like how clean everything is

Updated,

I found my issue with the 3D flatness level. It was related to smart zoom. I made the adjustments, and it's set to my liking. I wish i could adjust by increments of 5 instead of 10, but it's close enough

Also, My POI stuff started working yesterday. I need to play more, but I think it started to work. So now I'm down to 2 questions/request:

3D cars is possible with this mod as I have it running. Unfortunately I am not certain what exactly is needed. Here is what I did:

Using 7zip I unpacked the data.zip and copied the snowmobile.mdl and tex file to the gfx folder.

The using 7zip I recreated the data.zip

I also added the 3dcars folder to the root and the themechanger folder with mortscript incisde to the root as well.

I have tried hot_rod_red and snowmobile and they both work.

Here is what I added to my sys.txt

[map]
3d_scale_carmodel=1
3d_roads=1
3d_max_tiltlevel=8800
3d_max_zoomlevel=1500
3dcarsizemin=5000
3dcarsizemax=8000
3dcarsizemul=30000 


[3dcar]
work_dir=""\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo" 
mortscript=""\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo\Themechanger\MortScript.exe"

[3d]
car_day=snowmobile.mdl 
car_night=snowmobile.mdl
ghost_day=snowmobile.mdl
ghost_night=snowmobile.mdl

after using the mod for a while i got the hang of it. but im having an issue where when driving normal with no destination it doesnt tell me the current street name on the bottom or top like it used to. i looked in the settings and its called current lane info or something like that, so i turned it off then on again but nothing changed i even turned cockpit view on then off again but still nothing.

Thanks for looking into it. One more question. Is is possible to remove the speed camera icons from the map. No speed cameras where I live, it just points out traffic cameras. I did disable the warning and stuff but the icon is still there. Thanks for your help.

Turn them off. Not just the warnings and all of the icons go away.

Can you try reloading the speedcamera files? The spud file (etc) and let me know if that fixes it? I am really not seeing this.

Unfortunately I am at the mercy of iGo on this one. What I have in the next version though is a toggle for the non-shielded text. This will make it so that the people on 700's that have colored out freeway signs can go back to the old style. The old style also has better spacing.

Yes, turn off smartzoom and your tilt/zoom angle settings will be saved. You can also go into the smart zoom settings and shove them all the way to the right. That will do it too if you like smartzoom.

 

Also, do we have a way to change the arrow to a car with this mod???

 

Yes, change daycar.bmp and nightcar.bmp to the bmp's of your choice.

 

The only other issue I have is when I hit poi on the actual menu that you built and search for a gas station, I do not get any results. I have tried Proper Names and generic stuff like resturaunt, city name, so forth.

 

I will look into this.
