Thread: Blue Devil Skin RELEASED

Forgive me people, I have searched all over and can not figure out how to get iGuidance to work (version 2.1.3)
The map shows up fine, but RR does not find my GPS antenna unless I run iGuidance in the background (first).
I've searched and found all kinds of (confusing) posts on this.
Does this BD skin have the IGMon installed, should I install it, or should it be installed>....<confused>
Can someone help me out here please?

To follow up on this, When the scripts for the zip code for the five different cities are used under the weather screen, it will then load a zip number into the RR.ini file under weather for city/state entry. RR doesn't recognize that. I have to go into the weather screen, then clear the zip code fields or null them out. Then exit RR, then go and add the city/state again..

That was intentional. RR will "Remember" the last city that was viewed, the next time RR is loaded. I suggest using city names, and not zipcodes for your weather buttons. If there is more that one city with the name, then "City State" will work. For Example "Miami FL"
As for the image viewer, I can not duplicate the problem here, and just went through around 50 pictures forward and backwards.

That is a major gripe of many people with the new iGuidance. There are a couple things you can do to TRY to fix it. Try the 3 different 3D views under display options and see what one works better for you. One that worked for me, but who know for others, is I set my CarPC's resolution to 1024 x 768, and edited the general.ini in the Blue Devil skin folder to the display the correct size.

Many times this is because you have Road Runner set to use the same com port. Open RRConfig, and check the GPS section, and change the com port to something like 0 to test and see if that is the problem. You can use a program like XPort to split your GPS signal to multiple com ports so you can use iGuidance on one port, and Road Runner on another port ect.

John,
I think I found a button this skin is missing. (chances are greater I suppose that I am missing the button... anyway)

On the EQ screen there is no way to turn the EQ On/off. I tend to use this for testing/ tuning the sound system overall and just realized it was not there.

What editor do you use for the skin files, I've been using notepad, can't see anything that it would be doing to corrupt these files.

First, glad you got the weather working, that is strange that the OSNumPad was coming up and not the OSK. I have no clue what could have cause that one either.

I honestly do not know what could be stealing the focus from the Image viewer. I will look into adding a getfocus command to the buttons, and see if that helps. Is anyone else seeing this problem?


EDIT:
Try replacing the 2 lines to go back and forward through the images with these lines, and let me know if that fixes it:

Code:

"ACTIVATE;ImageViewer||SENDKEY;p"
"ACTIVATE;ImageViewer||SENDKEY;n"

(Please let me know, if that fixes the problem, I will add the code to th rest of the buttons on the skin for the next release)

As for the Editor, I am using the Latest RR editor that Profit put together. It is a pain that it doesn't support everything, but I could not imagine trying to create the skin completely in notepad. I tried that at the beginning till I found the WYSIWYG editor.

Cali, Nope, you are correct. I used the BMV2 skin as a guideline to create the EQ, and that does not have the feature, so it was overlooked. I will have to look into the command, and find a place for the button on the skin.

Is the GPS stats screen fully functional?
From the main menu, when I cursor to the speedo the SATS doesn't show up in the small LED display, the compass doesn't seem to change, the compass in the GPS stats is the same way.

UPDATE:
On the ImageViewer, I made an INI file and directory in the Launch folder for it. Ran it, then used my keyboard for the commands and it works fine.

Well glad you got it to work through launch at least. I just do not know what the problem could be.

Yes, as far as I know the GPS screen is working as it should. I took it for a test drive the other day and it worked well, and I have gotten a couple posts in this thread that it is also working for others.

As for the clock, I have also experienced that same problem. I would suggest checking out Tissy's thread (The guy that wrote the code for the clocks). I do know it is supposed to get it's GPS information from Road Runner, so if the GPS labels are working correctly, the clock should too, but that has not been the case for me

Ok, I just updated the link in the first post. Mainly, the Play buttons have been moved to TRY to keep them in the same place on all screens, where possible.

I also replaced the "ReadMe.txt" file with a newly made Help File. This makes it much easier to find the sections to install or change options for a certain feature, as well as a FAQ section to explain how to do some things in more detail.

I also tossed in a BETA version of an iGuidance options screen I am working on. Check the first post for instructions and all the details.

Thers is also a NEW Button on the GPS screen in the lower right hand corner. Pressing this button toggle's between 3 different layouts of the GPS screen.
