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:

 

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.

 

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

 

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

Thanks for the info! I think a lot of this is the stuff from IDT's mods? Good to know that it works on my mods.

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.

There is show lane info and current street. If the current street setting is not doing anything delete your save files. For some reason this setting seems to directly conflict with other settings from other mods.

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.

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.

Ok, did that, and still not right. I dunno, maybe it's just the cameras around here. I haven't gone too far from here for a while. Next week I'll be going on a trip, so I'll check it then.

I took some pics of where a couple of them are, but they're not very good. I'll try later with some more pics.

If you load different mods is it the same?

Hmmm, correct me if I am wrong, is that dial button a direct link for the phone?

Two of the pictures are labeled speedometer, I believe the dial button cis linked to the first speedometer picture.

Yeah, IDT already told me that he has problems linking the phone to the NAV, I was just hoping that it was figured out.

It doesnt matter anyways because I cannot get this mod to work with DPHursts schemes. All is fine and then I hit the NAV button, and the system just reboots.

ah damn your right... According to this there is some person name Extra that owns that section.

 

You're.

 

Thanks again for all of your work.

 

LOL!!!! Wow! I laugh because usually I am the one catching people doing that. Pet peeve to have people not use your, you're; two, too, to; there, their, they're; etc. correctly. Well at least I always notice it. Apparently, I am getting increasingly more dumb as I get older. I look back at what I typed above and I even left the "d" off named. I'll chock that up to a typo. Nah, I am mildly retarded. I need more sleep. Speaking of, I am going to try to work on only that for the rest of the night.

I am just reading through this long thread and had to add my comment. It should not be "more dumb" it should be dumber. It is OK though, you are doing great work and may be getting tired.

That's a good idea, but I'll have to try it out later. Too many deadlines with work right now...

Trust me.... I understand. Try having deadlines and trying to mod a complete set of mods. I was up till 1:30 last night and am not moving all that fast today.

Ok, I have a situation and hope somebody can shed some light on it. I am using Diaftia's mods and the hacked ezrider with the newest maps. Here is the dilemma: I go to seach by POI around GPS (or other options) and I will type in "Burger King." In the past it showed many locations near and far for just Burger King, but now all I get with every search is the listing of every business out there from near to far. Something has happened since the ezrider and new maps have been installed. Any thoughts?

I had this too. I search for a restaurant in Redmond, WA and I had the name, but it gave me a list of stuff without that search criteria as far away as Los Angeles. I finally gave up and used Google-411 and got the address and manually put it in.

So if you use the blanket search from the quick menu its going to search everywhere in a large diameter since its not given any constraints. If you go to the route plan screen and start a search from there it will be focused around whatever criteria you select (GPS, Destination, etc).

This will be cleaned up in the new version to hopefully be made clearer.

I had asked before if you could tell me what schemes are not working or what the most popular ones are since I don't use them all that often. I would be happy to look into what is not working and try to make it so it does.

Hi Alex,

I think the intention of searching in a wider area is good. But it returns all listing including those not matching with the searching criteria is bad.

Hi Alex,

So you are saying, for example, that if you do a search for plumber it will come back with returns for everything including book stores?

I even narrowed the search and it starts at businesses 20 ft away regardless what I ask for. Gotta be in the ezrider hack, correct? This was working correctly before that install.

Yes, sir. That's why I keep saying it "lists" all the POI instead of searching.

thanks, I think that it may be another problem. I will have to do some testing when i am off and find out exactly what the problem is. What scheme is the default in your mod? I do have a question though, what is the dial button? is it for the dial pad of the phone? and another question, are there house numbers displayed in this mod?

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.

 

FF

 

Agreed.

 

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

Fixed. Newest version allows the user to toggle between transparent and the old solid backgrounds.

Speaking of... I need some testers. Too much in this release to do myself. I would call on the old ones but had to clean out my PM box. :-/

Sounds good. Let me know if I can do anything.

The dial is for the speedometer screen.

Default is the modded (for multiroute) pioneer blue in my hybrid zip file.

And yes, house #'s are displayed.

Diaftia,

Did you include the left right announce info?

Diaftia,

 

Did you include the left right announce info?

Yes, i will. It's really a separate package but i will make sure i add it in to the bundle.

Hmm, that could explain the problem. I downloaded the non-msn version and it did not have any schemes, just a 'data.zip' file. So obviously, the mod was not compatible with my schemes. Where can i get your schemes, so I can test this out?

just a small question about this mod. i was driving in my area when on the nav screen a cop car showed up and the nav was beeping the icon was counting down the footage and when i got to zero sure enough there was a cop passing me in the other lane. how the hell did the unit know that since there is not a rader in the unit
