GpsLockout [ UPDATED 11/12/09 ]

************************************************** **********
RideRunner Extension Plugin for GpsLockout
************************************************** **********

General
=======
This is a replacement for the old outdated MotionLock plugin by festy. If you used
the motionlock and changed the default settings then you'll need to transfer them
over to the GpsLockout.ini. There are no 'Mode' or 'DisableScreen' settings.
There are some additional notes for the settings at top of the ini file.


Labels
======
"GpsLockout_Engaged" - Shows 'Disabled'\'Enabled' depending on GPS speed is above/below
the 'stationary' imit

Indicators
==========
"GpsLockout" - Indicates that the Plugin is Running

"GpsLockout_Engaged" - Indicates that video screens\cmds are locked out


Events
======
"GpsLockout_ONMotion" - is fired in place of the original issued command if already in motion(moving)
or if on a locked screen when starting to move, will close it then issue event


Included* in the Screens folder is an example screen that you can use. To use, just
copy the files from there into the skin folder that your using.

* screens are from festy's MotionLock plugin

I've added the screens from the carwings skin that were edited by pierrotm777 below.

Questions and Requests

Q1. Does this use the same screens and commands as festys.

Q2. Why did you stick this in the wrong forum?



R1. Can you (and I will ask this of other plugin authors) also release it in a non installer version.

It was posted there, as it takes a mod to move a plugin to the released plugins section :D He PM'd me and asked me to move it to the released section.

Yes, but what .skin files does it use?

Yes and no.

If I want to be able to skin a plugin, but don't want to actually install it, I need it in a non-installer version. ;)

It is a VERY simple installer, that just copies the files to [Your RR folder]\Plugins\GPS Lockout. The only skin needed is "gpslockout_denied.skin" or what ever you want to call it actually, as it's set in the ini file. So, yes, you can use the existing skin from Festy's plugin, and nothing is then needed to be skinned if you have that skin in place already.

The list of skins that are not aloud are set in the .ini file:
