You have something messed up, I will see if I can send you my schemes and DATA.zip when I get done work. That should work providing that you hgave the GFX folder proerly installed

 

Could it be corrupt images? I may be off base but some of the key images will not open and if i view them in a folder windows can't render a thumbnail image? i downloaded everything again and they come out the same but i am wondering if this is why changing the sky image in the gfx folder fixes some problems?

 

notice in the screen shot you can see some images as thumbnails and not others and not the moon.bmp? is this what is causing the errors in certain schemes and why i never get a big moon?

 

is this normal or is this part of the problem?

Hey IDT

 

Just wondering if you could tell me where to enable the signboards for the gps in the data.zip.

 

Thanks

I had a similar problem when I used Diaftias mod and Alex suggested I get a fresh 3.0 and start over, it fixed my problem then and i think i will revert back to that backup and start fresh.I think Abb1 is willing to help so i'm sure i'll get it figured out.

 

Thanks for the quick answer. I really like your work.

I found out what the problem is with the schemes. The older schemes (easy, JohnCougar, Monopoly, Gerd, Realview, and pioneer default, day and night) have the background images corrupted. This was probably an oversight from DPHurst, I didnt even notice it as I did not use the older schemes much.

THE GOOD NEWS

I have fixed pretty much most of them except the Pioneer schemes as they are the default schemes and I didnt want to touch them.

Keep the GFX folder in the IGO folder and leave it the way it is. Delete all schemes from the content folder. Install my Schemes into the content folder. I tested them and they are now all working. Make sure that you extract the SCHEMES.zip folder and then put the Schemes folder into the IGO folder and you should be good to go

*PS---MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE IGO8 FOLDER INSTALLED IN YOUR DATA.ZIP BEFORE INSTALLING THESE SCHEMES

Scheme.zip

Hube2002, make sure that you have 'sky_night.bmp' in your GFX folder (I cant see as you have half the folder cut off in the pic) as that is the bmp with the big Moon and I have that bmp installed in a lot of these schemes, so if you do not have that file, you will get either a blank background or an error message

cool...thought you'd never get home..lol...

 

haven't had time to try it cause i just read it but i'm sure your right and i knew it would be you....

 

thank you.....

IDT,

 

I don't know if is a bug or my unit, but the trip computer does not work for me. All numbers stay on zero. I have tested several time.

 

...with the previous version of your mod it work!

trip computer is a known problem on all mods laeding us to believe that the problem is caused by the unit,

okay Abb1, my patient tutor, this may be too much but i took some pics to help and let me know when and if i should start a separate thread for this, i don't want to step on toes...

 

all the themes now work except Xerses (new & full moon) & pioneer (red & blue night). All other night schemes work but no big moon in any of them. I assume the day schemes will work the same but i only tried a few. I tested all night schemes. As you can see the stock pioneer scheme has a plain grey background and the Xerses has a dark blue or light black. I named each pic for its respective scheme.

 

I think this is the same issue i had with diaftias mod, it was in my files, probably from too much modding but once i followed Alex's advice and started with a fresh 3.0 then upgraded to 3.0.2 it worked.

 

anyhow, i wanted you to see the pics, you can see every scheme and how for the most pat the moons are all the same size.

IDT,

 

I just got back from a 30 min trip and here is what I found out:

 

Trip computer did not work as I a previously mention but i was using navteq maps (No Trip computer, no signboard) on split screen, so, I used the map changer and went back to TeleAtlas. Now on split screen, Trip Computer work and signboard shows up.

 

Hope you understand!

As you can see the stock pioneer scheme has a plain grey background and the Xerses has a dark blue or light black. I named each pic for its respective scheme.

The Xerses schemes have been fixed, I dont know how I missed them. I havent tested them, but they should now work.

-As far as your big moon, I forgot that I modified his GFX file when it first came out. Here is the fix:

-Extract the 'sky_night.zip' file

-Place the 'sky_night.bmp' image file into your GFX folder that you have in your igo folder

-Now you got a big moon

I dont know what else I changed in it, but now you got your 'big moon' :)

 

* The Pioneer schemes, I am not touching because they are part of the original AVIC and if the system is ever defaulted back to original, you need these files intact and not not pointing to another location from the default, if this happens, your NAV WILL NOT START! With all these schemes, who wants to use the basic ones anyways?

as far as i know tripcomputer problems cannot be caused by maps at all, no one has resolved this problem and no one has a clue how to, i have been using trip computer ever since and have not had any problem with the tripcomputer, this is i think a problem with either the unit or iGO itself,

 

regarding the signboard, NAVTEQ maps don't have that much detail (signboard, speed limit signs, turn restrictions) as compared to teleatlas maps, well atleast here in canada, that's why the signboard is not showing up

For the record, I use the trip computer on a regular basis since it was first incorporated in mods. I have NEVER had a problem with the trip computer which makes me believe that the problem is not hardware related but rather software related. Something within the APL2 folder is causing these problems. The only way to find out what the problem is, is to test all combinations of mods that you have installed, ranging from ezrider, software bypass, warning bypass, etc.. There is a conflict there somewheres and for those that have problems with the trip computer, it is just a matter of elimination and always make sure that you have the latest files installed (ezrider, etc..). As I mentioned, the tripcomputer has worked FLAWLESS for me from day one on all my Teleatlas maps and now my Navteq maps.

yes, i found the culprit,

 

for those guys who wants a quickfix regarding the signboard bug open your navigatemap.ui and look for this script


 

and and change it to


 

as you can see a simple coding error like having " " on your variable could have a serious effect on the navi,

 

for those who doesn't want to do this a minor update will be out this weekend with that fixed and a minor bug i found in the planmode screen

a. As I mentioned, the tripcomputer has worked FLAWLESS for me from day one on all my Teleatlas maps and now my Navteq maps.

Are you using hardware or software bypass??

Agree with abb1, it has to be software releated since now is working fine with teleatlas maps on my unit. I also tested with Diaftia's mod and work fine. No luck on navteq maps.

 

...thank you for the signboard fix!!! ...some Mula your way!!! :wink:

i'm using the hardware bypass (though i have the software bypass in my data.zip files)

Posted Feb 23, 2010 · 18:17 UTC#296

I just loaded this into my 3.0 f90bt and this is by far the coolest mod out there. Installed flawlessly and had no trouble modifying some icons on the av side after. Everything seems to work great. Now time to spend a few weeks and a trip to Vegas with it and see how things perform. Thanks IDT, this worked perfectly.

Posted Feb 23, 2010 · 18:40 UTC#297

I am using the software bypass myself. Maybe the others who are having tripcomputer troubles can chime in and let us know what version of bypass they are using. Maybe this can help narrow down the culprit. :)

I also agree that it is software related given the fact that the TC works sometimes without issue then at other times it does not. I did a 3.0 install on a friends f90bt and his TC has worked ever since using the x910bt files. I have thought about doing a complete wipe on mine but I paid for the pioneer update and I don't have the time at the moment. (who really does anymore) something tells me that it has to do with a corrupted file just like the gpspara problem but even if I found this to be true it would be hard to keep it from happening.

 

 

Anyway, thanks IDT for the signboard fix. I'm going to give it a whirl.
