Thread: Variable help please!

This is for the rr.ini only

Here is a sample of the way I set a setting in my gps volume control

Lable "=$speedattvola$"

Button to bring up NUMosk "NUMOSKTOVAR;speedattvola" or OSKTOVAR for the osk

Then to save the settimg "SAVETOINI;speedattvola;$speedattvola$"

Remember I think you have to restart RR for the settings to take effect


edit
This is with the test version of RR

Thanks for getting me started chuck. I tried the Label "=$var$" before but it didn't work must have misspelled the var or something cause it is working fine now. This is what I came up with for the buttons.

Code:

"OSKTOVAR;entereddata||SETVAR;musicpath;$entereddata$||SAVETOINI;musicpath;$entereddata$"

Using the setvar in the middle there makes the changes instant so you don't have to exit to make them correct.

Again thanks alot

You better check your save because when you are typing in on the osk the SAVETOINI already saved the old VAR.

I had to have a separate button for save

Also with the "SETVAR;musicpath;$entereddata$"

Hmmm thanks for the tip will definately check it out

Ok I have run into a small road block it would seem. I have been using some of RR's native variables for tweaking settings in the skin itself but it would appear not all of the settings in the rr.ini file translate into actual variables themselves (example: gpsmode can't be accessed in the skin as a variable but say... musicpath can) Either gpsmode is never converted into a variable inside RR or it is named something else. I would like to be able to display which gps option the user has selected inside the skin and mabye even be able to change it. Any ideas Chuck, Guino, anyone!! HELP!!

Ok this is wierd. I came up with a little work around using an intermitent variable called mygpsmode. But there is a small problem. When I run this command

Code:

"SAVESETTINGS","SAVETOINI;gpsmode;$mygpsmode$||SAVETOINI;mygpsmode;$mygpsmode$"

It adds another gpsmode entry to the bottom of the rr.ini all the other gpsmode entries are also updated. There is only ever one mygpsmode entry though. I was up to 5 of them before I noticed the "glitch" any ideas?

Here is a short snippit from my rr.ini:

...
mapcity=
gpsmode=1
gpsport=0
...
cddrivepath=d:\
satscreentouse=1
gpsmode=1
gpsmode=1
gpsmode=1
mygpsmode=1

If I change the gpsmode setting in the skin it will change everything and also add another gpsmode entry.

Seems there's a bug, I'll try to fix it... but for now you should not save variables that end in the same way as other settings.. change your savetoini to gpsmode and mygpsmd for instance and it should always work..

Ok thanks will try changing the name of the intermitent variable

Ok renaming the intermitant variable fixed the problem you were right as always guino thanks.

Here is the working code:

Code:

"SAVESETTINGS","SAVETOINI;gpsmode;$mygpsmd$||SAVETOINI;mygpsmd;$mygpsmd$"
