Thread: Map Monkey Launchers (Fixes for Frodoplayer, Centrafuse, Mediacar...)

any ideas

Just outya curiosity, does MM go away when you use any of the buttons along the bottom of CF? Mine does. Mine switches from the nav map to the watermark background. I then have to double-click the MM watermark in the center of the screen to get the map back up.

This is annoying.

I spent an hour trying to get MM to embed in frodo with no luck, then I realized that you need to have the "DCOM Server Process Launcher" service running or mapmonkeylauncher will not work properly.

hope this helps someone...

I just can't get the MapMonkeyLauncher.exe working with MC.

Launcher is on the same folder as MapMonkey.exe

mml.conf:

Destinator
MEDIACAR.exe
0,750,12000,8175


If I change MEDIACAR -> C:\......\......\MEDIACAR.exe
it hangs whole system.


MC settings:

[GPS]
GPSSoftware=EXTERNAL
CommPort=1
MappointVer=0
OtherGpsSoftware=c:\DestinatorApps\Map Monkey\MapMonkeyLauncher.exe
GPSSoftwareEmbedded=True
GPSEmbeddedTimeOut=5
GPSSearchString=Destinator


It opens MapMonkey but closes it immediately

MM settings:

The solution is simple, I had the same problem and this is what I did to fix it. Simply change "MEDIACAR.exe" in the launcher to "mediacar.exe" for some reason it doesn't like capital letters. Let me know if this fixed it.

It worked !
Thanks dude !

I ran into new troubles,

First, after creating a new mml.conf (with no CAPITALS)
mapmonkey runs just great in mediacar, but at second launch, it starts to look like this:




Something clearly happens between first and second launch.

Over the past few days on and off i have been trying to use map monkeys launcher but i just dont seem to be able to grasp it.
Could someone please give me some clear instructions on how to use it with frodo
