If you do add any new icons, can you post them here or send them to me via email.

Ha ha!

Heres the two I've made so far.

Yep, worked like a charm!

Rename the jpg to gif (not sure if that's necessary but all the other icons are gif)

Ok, I'll add them to the folder, cheers.

as for the giant/martins thing, I'll strip the / from the name for the icons, so you can just have giantmartins.gif


For roadrunner it can be jpg, gif, bmp or png as long as it is named .gif.

for the standalone version it has to be a gif if named as a gif (I think)

New converter version in post #2.

Should work with DFX icons now.

Do I need to use the new converter for this to show up, or the next version of RRGas?

next version of RRGas.

Cool. thats what I thought.

I am having a problem with RRGas deriving the zipcode from the GPS location (rrgas_gps command). I am using MatrixPC's CFX-TX skin and I'm trying to update it to use RRGas. So far everything is working perfectly except the rrgas_gps command. I've changed a button to fire this command, but it doesn't seem to do anything. It seems like it tries to do something (screen freezes for just a second), but no update.

I've turned on debug mode in gas.ini and here is what is happening when I push the rrgas_gps button.

It does appear to get my actual coordinates, but it is failing before the gas.ini file is updated with the new zipcode (I am assuming it should be updated after sending the rrgas_gps command). I'm a newbie at this skinning business and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Looking at the dubug printout it looks like it had trouble getting the endpoint of the zipcode. the line after the url shows the start position of the zipcode and then end position, in this case it seems the endposition is 0, in other words it couldn't find the string that signifies the end.

but looking at the file the url should provide I don't see why it wouldn't.

All I can think is the file is getting corrupted when it is being downloaded.
