Thks a lot carputer

If i try to use the Gps events 'gev' command,

I obtain this error when i click on the gps name event:

Code:

Load;GpsEvent_CustomEntry.skin
-
ONSCREENCHANGE
-
ONBTNPRESS
-
PLAYSOUND;D:\Program Files\Ride Runner\Skins\DFX5\ButtonPress.wav
-
GPSEvent_SetName
-
EVAL;RESULT;strcomp("dfxdllcheck";"GPSEvent_SetName")
-
BYVAR;RESULT;ONCOMMANDINVALID_CONT<<DfxPlugin_Err
-
Command Not Executed: GPSEvent_SetName

This screen don't run for me .

An idea ?

I think this is an awesome skin, I just don't like the visuals. Too many buttons and boxes and frames with information everywhere. I'd like something with no dates, no CPU usage, no volume buttons (I use my steering wheel controls), etc. but that still could have 80% of the functionality only DX5 can bring. But that's me, hope you're not offended for me saying this, it's not my intention.

Otherwise everything just works, and I have to congratulate you on this. Big thank you for your work, and if I use it, I'll definitely pay for it. I think it's more than worth the money you ask, and I'll going to charge for my first CF skin I'm working on too, I'm thinking $.25 just for the principle of it (I plan to buy a tall latte out of this, you know, I'm so greedy). I believe in a free market, and all the innovation it brings, and I don't think the donation model should be central for our future as a community (IMHO). We should be open to experiments more, so I think you're doing a good thing, I specially enjoyed the surprising nag screen!

I see you posted up there that you don't mind if we use your code in another skin (carwings?)? So maybe I'm thinking of one day skinning a skin like DX5? Of course I will then write you about it asking for permission if this is ever the case.

Cheers,

Ripp.

Ya, that is an sorta unfinished PI of mine that's not been released yet, but the skin has support for it already...

On the auto Day/Night switch setup. I currently set it to use GPS, but the times are a bit off. It picks up my city just fine (Atlanta, GA), but it thinks sunrise is around 12:30pm and sunset is at 24:13 (Yes it actually shows 24 in the hour). I thought maybe it would be a time or timezone issue but they are both correct in my OS settings.

Also I'm getting rare crashes in RR using this skin - it will just freeze up, and then when I touch the screen I get the window saying RR has crashed and if I want to Close it.

Managed to download the DFx5 setup by switching to another computer. When running the installation it prompts if you want to download the speechSDK in order to use the RRVoice plugin. First time running the setup it downloaded the sdk and its installed. Trying to re-run the DFX5 setup keeps prompting for the SDK downlod and will unselect RRVoice when going to the NEXT setup step.

The SDK seems to be installed but it seems the DFx5 setup cant find it:

i think this was also noticed in the bug tracker ,

i think it might be wise to link to the tracker again so users can check there for already found bugs before posting here

Is there a workaround for this bug?
manually installing RRvoice?
