Thread: LSX (VOID) released

I have this problem too, I thought it was just my setup, messing something up.

a few things, mainly the issues around the exit_fs tool, i also changed the image for it to fit in with everything else so it dosent stick out. Hightly recommened to get the latest version.

already working on it.
just came back from a test drive so there are a few things i need to tweak, nothing major, mostly screen switching and sort through all the commands and see which ones make the most since etc. Its gonna be sweet though, im pretty excited about the igmon almost everything works good and are features ive been dieing for in IG for a LONG time.

what version of the lstools do you have now?
when the map dosent embed properly the first time this is almost allways a timeing issue with IG taking to long or something slowing it down. On your desktop, and if you dont have a gps device and get the no gps error this will happen pretty much everytime. In the car it shouldnt be a problem at all.
So are you having this in the car or on the desktop?

The latest lstools. Happening on my desktop, still playing around with the skin.
I waiting for igmon and your skin intergration before I put it in the car, hopefully soon.

ah, you shouldnt have any issues in the car then. Ill have an update tomorrow with igmon intergration Driveing to the airport so ill get a good test drive out of everything

LS, mine is happening in the car. I'll try again today and make sure I'm in a location that the GPS is picking up connection though. But it happened while I was driving and I am almost certain I had a signal.

CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR IGMON mod.... Whoooo Hooooo!!

Civic it dosent matter if you have a signal or not. Only if you have a gps device connected and recognized. Try to run skinbedder standalone outside of RR, does it embed properly? How fast is your machine?
For reference the list of actions that happen when you click the GPS button the first time:

load external_gps.skin >launch skinbedder> launch runcheck.exe

when skinbedder.exe launches it runs startup.exe (found in the skinbedder dir)
startup.exe is what actually launches iGuidance, and also launches runcheck.exe
the purpose of runcheck is to loadup igcontrol, its soul purpose is to check if igcontrol is allready running.
If its allready running it dose nothing and exits, its its not running it will launch it. Anytime igcontrol is launched, its launched from runcheck.exe
without runcheck, you would get multiple copies of igcontrol running.
It may sound like a lot, but these actions are executed pretty fast.
I dont belive its RR thats not embeding properly, but skinbedder. Think of IG as a photo thats behind 2 picture frames.
In my experience ive found the embed issue only happens to me on the desktop where i dont have the gps device and get the popup warning about no gps device detected. Which puts a pause in the string of events that happen and creates a timing issue. If you've been using skinbedder since it was created you likely are already famaily with this issue.

also, FYI im no way locked into using skinbedder, basicly the only reason i use it is cuz its the only app that will remove the filemenu from IG, all the other apps that say they do this never ever worked for me or were bloated with extra features and clumbsy configs. If anyone knows of a better solution, Im all ears. In a perfect world RR would embed iGuidance and remove the title bar on its own, that way we wouldnt have to use a boatload of external tools to accomplish this task.

the above is just a little insight for those that may or maynot know whats going on in the background when you launch GPS.
