That is what I said earlier: "You would also have to play with this new icon's alpha level in the Navigatemap.ui file (under common\ui), quite simple, you will see!"

 

You have a name for your icon, just replace btnNMB_MSN_onmap by your TMC icon name (btnNMB_TMC_onmap ???) in NavigateMap.ui under common\ui, in 3 different places in that file I think, just search for the btnNMB_MSN_onmap thing.

 

Let me know.

 

P.S.: I wll make it for you, but I need the UK version of V2.75!

Chuck, you can't just change the button or it's characteristics and have it go to TMC. It is an entire line of script that has to be changed. If you are interested in putting in a UK version for your 2.80, PM me and I will send you the files and the scripts

Hi Abb,

I probably understand what you mean. The icon that I am referring to is only to bring up the "TMC Events". Nothing else!

There is also two underlying screens called "TMC Settings" and "TMC Parameters", that can be bring up otherwise.

I am going to PM you. I probably need only the UK version v2.75 of all UI files, those under:

pioneer_ui\800_480\ui\*.ui

pioneer_ui\common\ui\*.ui

Thanks for your helps.

IMPORTANT:

Hello everyone,

I just added a poll on the use of the Smartzoom Navigation feature at the top of the page. Please have time to pick your choice. As Smartzoom coding is not a trivial feature and require complexe coding, the polling results could be used by current or upcoming modders to orient their design and coding efforts.

Thanks!

Thanks for that Chuck.I have commented out a couple of lines in common\ui which referred to MSN and all seems well(at least on the emulator)I have posted a UK version for you to have a look at here.http://www.4shared.com/file/Gxj_o3AT/DATA.html

I will now go out try it out "for real"so fingers crossed.

Ovalball,

You have 2 instances of btnNMB_TMC_onmap enabled. You should disable the one at line 146 (old style), as it is wrongly depending on GPS signal to be shown or hidden.

Leave the one on line 109 is fine!

This is too easy. But how about the highway sign color? Can you give me the composition RGB of your blue highway signpost?

Abb, the RGB setting under ui_pioneer\common\laneinfo_signpost.ini. Anyway to change this RGB within scripts during runtime?

Chuck,try this.

signpost_background_color=RGB(32,40,96)

Chuck,try this.

 

 

signpost_background_color=RGB(32,40,96)

This is not really blue, but grey-blue. Is this OK?

This is not really blue, but grey-blue. Is this OK?

From a personal point I am sure its fine.TBH I dont mind the green ones(US style)but I am sure some others over here would prefer a bluer blue!!

Chuck/Abb Are these the colours which are used within our Avics?

I don't know, but if you could give me a color that everybody would prefer and matching european highway signpost, I will be glad.

Just FYI, for your european friends, I am coming up with an unified version that you will be able to select UK or US, and this setting will be saved upon rebooting.

RGB(0,112,255)This seems to be the nearest colour match as far as I can make out.

Think I can receive PM again.Found that my message usage was 100%!Deleted a load and now should be OK.

Hey, Chuck, do you happen to know where the font for just the signposts are located? I have hunted and hunted for JUST THE FONT and I cannot find it. I want to be able to revert it back to the original font.

Thanx,

Bud

Bud, if you were using the special fonts from Abb's mods (v2.x, v3.x or v4.x), you would have to restore the original TAHOMA.TTF and TAHOMABD.TTF under the iGo\ folder.

If not, post a screen shot and let me see.

Hi,

For your UK users, the updated UNIFIED mod with US/UK, Audio Menu ON/OFF selectable was released. I called it v2.80a since changes are very minor.

See the first post for download and instructions for this long awaited option.

Good lucks.

I was able to add some "FONT=" to a few lines in the navmap_800/480 so I could get them to look right. I like the redone fonts for the mos part. I renamed the original Tahoma and TahomaBD with a "1" suffix so that it would only apply to the ones I wanted to change instead of making a global change but for the life of me I cannot see where the font override resides in the entire Flash Disk for the freeway signposts!

I'll get a pic and show you.

Thanx,

Bud

TIPS FOR YOU MODDERS OR TO-BE-MODDERS: This is the method that I always used to update the mod within iGo, without rebuilding DATA.ZIP and booting into TestMode, which save me enormous time!

So, if this is an upgrade and you have access to WinCE Commander, you don't have to boot to TestMode. With exception to DATA.ZIP, you can copy all other files and folders to "My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo" directly from the WinCE Commander program. As for DATA.ZIP, you can use "Resource Info" to end the "iGo" process, then copy DATA.ZIP, then restart your AVIC with Restart.exe.

If you modify any UI script and want try it out without rebuilding the DATA.ZIP, you can just create ui_pioneer\800_480\ui or ui_pioneer\common\ui and copy the modified scripts into the appropriate folder. Files outside DATA.ZIP has priority over those inside it.

Of course, this also work with the AVIC Emulator.

Enjoy!!!

Hey ovalball, this composition is much better.

Look at the first post for download.

Chuck, for colors of the sign posts, you have to try them out as they are a LOT lighter in reality as they are by the RGB chart. Trust me, I know as I use the RGB chart when creating colors for my schemes

Thanks for the tip! I tried the suggested one and found it very pleasant to look at. I would however leave it to the european community to provide comments.

Cheers!

Optional: I have collected the ten (10) most beautiful schemes from abb1’s work and put them in my AVIC under a footprint of less than 8.5 MB (YES, EIGHT POINT FIVE MEGABYTES). So if you want, instead of storing a huge 140 MB GFX and SCHEME folders to waste your Flash disk resource, you can optionally delete your existing “My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo\GFX†folder (NOT the one inside DATA.ZIP) and ““My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo\CONTENT\SCHEMEâ€, then copy both CONTENT and GFX folder from the archive to “My Flash Disk\APL2\iGoâ€. Please don't forget to delete your user settings folder as instructed above or at least select "Pioneer's blue day" as scheme before deleting the GFX folder. You will otherwise encountered problems upon rebooting.

 

 

Happy modding!

Chuck...Please check your instruction here. You asked to remove content\scheme folder but wanted to replace it with content folder.

It will remove everything from content including poi and maps.

I think it should be replace with content\scheme folder and not content.

Chuck.Thanks for your UK changes.Can you please check a couple of things out as mine is showing both the US and UK speed limit signs at the same time ie one on top of the other.I have selected UK in the custom menu but it is still the same.Also the numbers look as though they will not be in the centre of the red circle.I think the Y value should be changed to 195 for the text.BTW I think the blue sign posts are a very good match Thanks.

Well, you should delete "CONTENT\SCHEME" and copy "CONTENT" from my mod to "iGo", which is perfectly correct. In my "CONTENT" folder there is only one "SCHEME" folder.

I instructed so because I want everything to be copied to the "iGo" root folder.

Thanks!

Thanks! I will check!

The stupid NavTeq maps that I use only have signposts for my region, but not speed limits, so it was never tested.

I will install TeleAltas (no signposts for my region).

Hey urtruelove78,

I add a red color notice to be sure everybody understand well the instructions.

Thanks.

Hi All,

Thanks for your support.

v2.80b was released. I will provide a description of it later. It fixed a problem with the speed limit sign versus UK/US mode. Sorry for the inconvenience!

There is a new MAP browsing mode, very handy, located under the MAP menu. Some menu icons are moved to other locations as a result of this addition.

Enjoy!
