Diaftia,

Great work on the mods. I installed them yesterday and tested them out for a little while today. I noticed an overlap with the lane guidance and highway signs. Is this in the navigatemap_800_480? If so I can just change the X coordinates.

 

Sorry it's a little blurry, I was driving.

Diaftia that is the lane info Lunar-Eclipse is referring to. I noticed that too but just set mine to bottom instead of top. It would be nice if the top setting put the lane info arrows just below the sign post.

I got my Pioneer Blue Night theme modified. I left the 3D view with the night colors because when I tried the day colors I thought it was too bright. I just changed the 2D colors to the same as the day colors.

Here is a picture of my modified off screen. I put the colors to red with a green outline for Christmas. After Christmas I will probably change t to all blue. The colors actually look better than the attached jpg file. It lost a little in saving to jpg. The pic is from the emulator. I tried to get a decent pic from the F7010BT but was using my cell phone and could not get one that showed the colors good.

I have not figure out how to change the date format so that I can also get the day. All I can tell is that the setting_800_480.ui seems to be passing the button press to a script in the ui_pioneer\common\ui\setting.ui file. The script looks like it runs there but I can't tell what it is accessing to actually set the date. Maybe it is inside a dll. If anyone figures it out that would be great but I will live with what I have for now.

If anyone wants my settings for displaying the time and date I would be happy to post them. Thanks agin to N-S-E-W for the info to get it working.

If you set them to the bottom there is no overlap. If for some reason you like them at the top I would disable the signboards. I will try to fix it but there is really no other place to put them if you want them at the top. I am running out of screen real estate. I will think of something else to do. Maybe I can make it so the signboards are disabled when navigating when the lane info is chosen to be at the top. Seems like a lame solution though so I will think about it.

The problem is then they are in the middle of the map. I know I will get complaints about that.

Just about to release an update. Made some cool changes to the screen if you have an MSN sub. If not it looks like yours but black and white. i like to keep the brightness down on the screen since its technically the "Screen Off" screen.

A script might have to be written. I am just not sure, from the factory, that the AVIC knows what "Tuesday" means. I will look into it when I get the time.

I like this mod. I have a question about the top bar, where the time and the compass are. My avic installed in my car is verry low and have a trouble seeing the top bar. Is there a way to make the bar a little bigger and set the time and compass lower?

 

Thanks.

To be honest that would mean that pretty much every single element would have to be resized and repositioned that shows up on the nav screen. I try to accomodate many requests but this one I just can't do. It would be weeks of work. All new images (backgrounds) and all new x and y positions for those images and everything beneath them.

I must have completely overlooked that option in the settings. I'll move them to the bottom and see if they're to my liking. Otherwise I'll start sliding stuff around.

On a side note: I take a couple of months off from avic411 and now my mods look like a fisher price experiment compared to the stuff you guys are putting out

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Your non-msn DATA.zip is corrupt in your latest update. I tried both downloads! The msn version is fine but the non-msn version isn't

As abb1 said the file for the no msn version is corrupt. It needs to be re-zipped and re-uploaded. When extracting it gets a CRC error on the data.zip and fails to extract it.

Here is the code for the time and date both on the off screen. According to the previous post Diaftia has added this to his data.zip file, plus a little more. You can compare this to the new data.zip.

In the data.zip file go into ui_pioneer\800_480\ui and open navigatemap_800_480.ui scroll down to the bottom of the file and you should see the ;Time on blank screen section. This is the code for both time and date. The added date info and changed y coordinate are in bold.

;Time on blank screen

You can change color and color2 settings to change the text color. Color is the main text color. Color2 is the outline color. Glowsize is the size of the outline color.

Damn.... Never fails. Of course I don't have my laptop today. Left it at home. Will remove the links until I can get to it this afternoon (posting this from my phone).

Btw I figured out that if you want to change the date format from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD then you can change the formatmodel in the date format to formatmodel="local.long_dateformat"

...and by doing it that way you probably won't be able to chose another format from the regional settings.

Strangest thing... I tried the non-msn version on my emulator and it seemed to work fine. Either way I zipped up a new file and created a new zip package. Can someone try the file in the first link now to verify things are working for the non-msn version?

Thanks,

Alex

New version extracted fine for me.

Cool thanks... I will upload a rapidshare version too then.

Thanks, it works fine this time!

Well, the mod and the bluetooth feature works great. The 'phone home' with the bluetooth button and the full features that this mod has makes this the most featureful and truly the best NAV mod out there to date. Congrats Alex on a job well done! I do haave one question though. The background bmp's you used for the speedometer ( AJG_Wood.bmp) was in your Nov 5 mod at 1.09 mb. It is now only 308 kb and I could not even open the file. Why has it been reduced so much? The reason that I am asking is that I would like to change this as I have in all my other mods because I got a sharp looking background for that, however, it is at 1.09 mb and at 24-bit colour depth, and I dont want to screw this mod up as it is running perfectly now

Glad you like it.

The file was made smaller with the ipaq image viewer that is mentioned on page 5 of this thread by N-S-E-W and myself. You can convert it back to standard bmp with the same utility.

Btw I figured out that if you want to change the date format from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD then you can change the formatmodel in the date format to formatmodel="local.long_dateformat"

I tried the "local.long_dateformat" and got a date like you stated but that still does not give me the day of the week like I wanted. I experimented with that setting to see if I could change anything there. It seems if it does not like the setting (invalid setting) then it just displays the default ISO standard time format.

I got the re-uploaded NoMSN file and extracted it without a problem. Thanks.

Where did you move the date code for the Off Screen to in this 12/7/09 version? I checked the navigate_800_480.ui file and you have the code in there commented out now but the time and date are still displaying. Please let me know so I can modify it to my liking. Thanks.

If I want to make the signpost solid instead of the opaque ones that are currently there what does this involve? Is it just a matter of replacing bitmaps or are there other settings that also need to be changed. I liked the old solid green with the dimmed one that brightened for the correct exit (no big deal though).

Hello All,

New here to posting but been following various threads and done other mods in the past. I've downloaded and installed this fab mod and been running for a few days now with no problems after the initial memory glitches. I'm on the non MSN version in the UK. I seem to have lost my TMC traffic information. Do I need to make some changes somewhere to re-enable the functionality? Can anyone help please?

thanks

Check the sys.txt file.At the top make surethe device is set to pioneer 746 EW.If not you can change it with a text editor file(notepad)

Alex,

As always great mod. One quick question for you. Did you at one time have a toggle for the street numbers? Not sure if it was you or someone else. I would like to have the ability to turn them on or off or have them come on during navigation. If it is a hassle, don't worry about it; with the address of the final destination showing and the voice telling you which side of the street it is on, it won't be a big deal for me with the street numbers if it is problematic to do it.

Regards and happy holidays.

M

Its now in the msnd_800_400.ui file. I had to move it there so that I could get the weather stuff displayed. Weather is a finicky beast. I put it all the way at the bottom so you should be able to find it easier. There is other stuff that is included up higher in other layers and those are marked with AJG.

As for the signposts... just grab the signpost files from another mod. N-S-E-W added some transparency to the images I am using and you should just be able to replace the images if you don't want it.
