Looks nice from the screenshots, I'll have to check it out.
What language is this written in, and are there any pre reqs.?

Looks very nice. I'll have to give it a spin.

It was written in Visual Basic, All of the requirements are listed on the website. Thanks for checking it out.

2 things so far.

1. What Windows files did this replace on my machine? I get a Windows File Protection error after the install completes asking me to insert my XP cd to restore the files that were replaced.

2. When I click on the Exit Program button it doesn't do anything. I had to kill it from task manager.

Im still working on that "Exit Program" button. All the other functions work correctly and quickly on the exit menu. I wanted to see if anyone had a duplicate instance as I dont run into it on my developmental computer, and it has happened only 1 or 2 times on my car computer. I also figured that most people would use the shutdown, or stand by in their car.

The program replaces several common microsoft dll's with the newest versions and you can hit cancel on the message and you will be ok.
The exact dll files that is installs are as follows:
vb6stkit.dll -> Visual Basic Setup Toolkit Library
asycfilt.dll - > Microsoft OLE 2.30
comcat.dll - > Microsoft Component Category Manager Library
comdlg32.ocx - > Microsoft Common Dialog Control
dx7vb.dll - > Direct X Control
mscomctl.ocx - > Microsoft Common Control
msvbvm60.dll - > Microsoft Visual Basic virtual machine
olepro32.dll - > Microsoft OLE Property Support
scrrun.dll - > Microsoft Script Runtime

Enforcer · 06-01-2005, 08:32 AM

bookmarker, for when I have time to test.

RoyN · 06-01-2005, 01:57 PM

looks interesting... phoco would be interesting to bring it up to par with whats coming out today... also suggest SDK supports to communicate with external gps (if its still not there)...

nintendo 64 emulator is a first! and defo cool... what controls do you use with this?

I suggest OBDII when you have time too

All this without even looking yet!

d_sellers1 · 06-01-2005, 02:34 PM

Looks like it's got potential. I'll keep an eye on this.

looking good m8. I've had a quick play, had probs closing it down, and it left my res at 640 x 480 when I had to use taskmanager. I also trid embedding freedrive, I went to choose the exe and it just locked up. I defo think its looking good and will have a play a bit more

cheers

I actually couldn't get the N64 to open. When I click the button it just sits there. I also had the resolution problem possibly because I had to kill the app from task manager.

It looks good though. I look forward to the future developments.

sfay93 · 06-02-2005, 12:03 AM

Ok, so I wasn't paying attention and didn't install the Project64 before. Did that so now that works. The exit button works now but I get the run-time error '420': object required and the resolution doesn't go back to my original settings. I am liking it so far. Still haven't tried it out in the truck yet though. Is the resolution adjustable?

reddeath30 · 06-02-2005, 07:44 AM

Ok, I think I have the problem with the "Exit Program" button fixed on the exit menu, go to my website and download the Mobile Impact Beta 1.0d version. Uninstall the first version and then install the new version. It is the exit button that puts your screen resolution back to normal, and it was erroring right before it restores. That should be fixed now. I chose to use the 640 x 480 resolution to solve some graphics quality problems and to make the program faster.

*CdRsKuLL - > Regarding freedrive, I didn't test your program with it, but for all intensive purposes, all the program does is act like a shortcut icon to the exe file. I will download it and find out. Will freedrive will run at 640 x 480, Im thinking that this is the problem? If so I can make some adjustments. By the way, ive seen some of your work on skins and from what Ive seen, you do the best work so far that Ive seen. I was wondering if you wouldnt mind throwing something together for Mobile Impact? I would really appreciate it. You will find a directory called skin templates in the C:\Program Files\Mobile Impact\ directory that has the outline of where all the controls on the forms are located. Let me know. Thanks.
