Thanks

don't forget... what ur seeing is also 800x480 in CF. If you are using road runner, there won't be all the centrafuge wraparound and there will be alot more map area...

1. you can press centrafuse's title bar to go into full screen
2. there is/will be an option in the custom menu to remove the gui enhancements

Screenshot at 800x480:

I think that iGmod needs its own forum under Support Software! Get it out of "Other Cool Stuff" and make PurDoom the forum leader!

I'll second that!

If/when that happens i have plans to make all kinds of stickys. The how to code skins tutorial is going to be pretty extensive

Hi PURDooM,

I downloaded and installed the new preview. It's looking good!

I do want to let you know that whenever I hit the POI icon in the main menu, the program freezes. I know this is just a preview and maybe you're already aware of this, but I thought I would point it out just in case you're not.

Keep up the good work!

Kevin

Yea, whats actually happening is its saying "this action is broken" but you cant click the ok box because the menu is always on top

. Ill fix that right now for the next release.

I haven't thrown in the frodoplayer integration yet. As far as the car icons run the patcher in the patcher folder and it will make you have the big icons. I tried adding the eclipse icon for the car icon but it just didn't look right.

Don't know why, but my install is running GREAT! Load time is a little long but everything seems to work that I've tried. I would like to do some skinning so that it matches my RR skin though. I'd also like to see the option of selecting different ways of locating an address/poi (eg: city first, street first, by distance, by type, etc.) like the native options in IG. (BTW: Where's the wav file the makes the keypress sound? I'd like to change it.) Thanx!!

My install is also running very well with the latest IGMod preview embedded in CF. It seems very stable. I have not pushed every button, but so far the only issue I've seen is that it locks when I hit the POI button.

Hey if you wanna change the way to enter an address/poi here is how you do it:

in the skin.ini file filnd the text that looks like this:

Code:

    ACTION
	SHOW_MENU "SetDestination2"
        HIDE_MENU "Main Menu V2"  
  END_BUTTON

then just change where you see "SetDestination2" to "SetDestinationConfer" and you will see the difference!

the sound file is the wav file in the skin\blueice folder.

Everybody just hang tight before you start making your own skins, I am still designing how the default skin works.

Progress update: I just need to finish the POI functions (the program will automatically generate all the POI menus off of what is visible in iguidance until I program a new phonebook addon to igmod) so when that is done and I do some bugfixes on embedding the results window, I will have a release canidate to post.

Well the other day I went to go see a concert in the cities near me, and I thought I would let IG handle all the one way streets business for me. So I went to attractions, list all, and whatdya know the place isn't listed. That fustrated me. So I plan on finishing my igphonebook program that I was working on that rips the superpages.com database (it can parse my 763 area code in about an hour and make it about 8 mb large, containing every business, the businesses web site/hours of operation/products that they sell/gps coordinates/ect) and makes a nifty frontend for iguidance. So you could say look for product: tacos and it would find it. It will be designed to work with standalone ig as well.

But thats a whole different project alltogether. First I have to finish igmod

so it wont actully add pois (graphically) but rather directions to the poi is what your saying?
