Thread: GPSExec Plugin

Would be great if you also add an option to set the minimum occurrence interval ( in milliseconds) of the "ONSLDGPXSLIDER1" Event, because it happens too many times...

RANGE_CLO=1
RANGE_MID=1
RANGE_FAR=1

You do not had to put any variables in the skin.ini, they are already set in the code.

oops if understand how to !

Code:

SETVAR;PREVSLD;$GPXSLIDER1$

But your line don't run for me (i have just replaced playwav by playsound and the wav's folder)

Loose the skin.ini modifications that you do, try with my beep sounds and with the skin tool closed.

Yes , i know , but i don't know how to do that in vb6 .
I have added a loop that you can to set into the settings.ini:

Code:

[SETTINGS]
GPXLatLon=yes
GPXSlider=yes
Delai=2

See the #post78 please !

This new version works, but still as heavy as before when in range of the target. I also try to disable my ONSLDGPXSLIDER1 event to see if it reduces the freezing that happens in my flash animations, no joy...

Do you think that if you change the delay method it can affect the performance? Because I found in the net that the best way to implement delay in VB without computer lag is using the timer function, also found the sample below:

Code:

' You can delay execution of your code for a specific time interval 
' by using the Timer function. Increments such as .25 or .5 can be
' used as well.

' To use the Timer function to pause for a number of seconds,
' store the value of Timer in a variable. Then use a loop to wait
' until the Timer returns a specified number of seconds greater than
' the stored value. If the delay loop will execute when midnight 
' passes, compensate by reducing the starting Timer value by the 
' number of seconds in a day (24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds). 
' Calling DoEvents from within the loop allows events to be
' processed during the delay.

' Drop this sub in the appropriate form:

Sub Pause (ByVal nSecond As Single)
Dim t0 As Single
Dim dummy As Integer
        
        t0 = Timer
        
        Do While Timer - t0 < nSecond
                
                dummy = DoEvents()
                
                ' If we cross midnight, back up one day
                If Timer < t0 Then
                        t0 = t0 - 24 * 60 * 60 ' or t0 = t0 - 86400

                End If
        Loop

End Sub

' Call the routine from the appropriate event:
' Example:

        Call Pause(2)  ' delay for 2 seconds
        Form2.Show

Well, I will sleep a couple of hours, 7:45 AM already here, I will be back as soon as I wake up for more tests! Good luck and keep the good work, "the force" will be with you!

Marteline, the post #78 is updated with your timer , but with always the same settings for the delai .

Did you already try this version? Because it's running smoothly!

I tested again both last versions to make sure that the freezing is not just related with some temporary computer issue, with the following settings:

[SETTINGS]
GPXLatLon=No
GPXSlider=yes
Delai=0.3 (I don´t know if this is a valid value, but works, also try with value 2)

As I told you. the previous version freezes my swf animations on each "slider event" but with this new one no significant freezing occurs.

I will try it on my Carpc later for make sure, but I think that it´s done!

Pierrot, could you also add a way to disable the GPXDIST1? maybe it save a a little more system resource.

Thanks!

Actually , the GPXDIST1 is disable in same time that the slider .
Do you want to stop GPXDIST1 and to keep the slider ?

Delai=0.3 is a good value (0.3 second)

It's a very good news .
