Released: BETA 10 - Page 8

skippy76 · 11-28-2005, 11:04 PM

So, here is BETA 11b..

LOTS of nice changes:

- 3 stage gamma button (configurable through RRConfig)
- 3 stage skin button (configurable through RRConfig)
- fixed divide by zero problem
- added gpsskin indicator too (as well as gpsgamma indicator)
- Moved all skin / gamma settings to seperate window in RRConfig
- Added shufflevideo option (button / indicator)...

Big thanks to Chuck for working on the testing with me. We have done quite a lot so think that most if not all should be good now!

The only bug I know of is if you specify the gamma day time to be later than the night time...

When will you let me "review" the sources ?

skippy76 · 11-28-2005, 11:26 PM

Guino, for you man... whenever you like. I think we have got rid of most of the bugs. I want to double check that everyone is happy, and if so I'll pass them over to you. I did not want to do it too soon and end up having to make more changes!

i dont think mine is working either.. havent had a big play with it but it doesnt seem to me..

also, will RR make Freedrive switch to day and night?? and also will it record the last LAT & LOG so next time RR is started it will dim/brighten the screen before the gps software has opened??

djmickyg... nice ideas... Have you tried BETA 11b? I fixed a few major issues with the Auto Gamma / Skin stuff...

djmickyg · 11-28-2005, 11:45 PM

i think i have the latest
i will check now

edit: igot the one that came out on the 27th
i am redownloading anyways

skippy76 · 11-28-2005, 11:51 PM

unless you downloaded it in the last 20 mins you don't have the latest.

[Edit] BTW, in the previous version if your offset was set to zero ( 0 ) then the gamma change would not work. I actually had a device by zero (d'oh)... but I've resolved that issue now, so you should be good in BETA 11b.

djmickyg · 11-28-2005, 11:53 PM

ok ive just downloaded it now

thanks.. i will have a play with this one

EDIT: all works good now.. i like alot

Well I tried out the auto-skin change in the new beta version (11b).It seem that the auto-skin change is directly linked to the auto-gamma selection. If you want auto-skin changing then you also have to select auto-gamma change in the config. utility. If only auto-skin change is selected and auto-gamma is set to disable then the skin will not change automatically. This observation was made without using a GPS (time based auto switching). Is this a normal behavior?

What is the button code for the 3stage skin button ? I've searched the skin commands.txt file but I cannot find it. Is it one of the old button or is it a new addition ?

i believe its the old button, it now has 3 positions so.. dark/light/auto

skippy76 · 11-29-2005, 08:37 AM

Yes,
for skin it's daynightskin
for gamma it's gamma

tolisn: Actually, small oversight on my behalf. I've fixed the bug and BETA 11c will be there in about 20 mins.

[Edit]: It's just uploading... I've also added a command daynightgammaskin this button will change the state of both the gamma and the skin.

I think I found a bug in RR

Before if you use the RUN command in a button (RUN:C:\test\test.exe) and the exe file was not found it would ignore it and go on. But with new RR it will stop RR from running on my machine.

Button for truck and not on desktop

B33,162,394,150,63,"SHOWWINDOW;!Shell_TrayWnd;True ||RUN;C:\WINNT\TRTUTILS\TRTUTILS.EXE||SWITCHBUTTON ;1>>SHOWWINDOW;!Shell_TrayWnd;FALSE||CLOSEWINDOW;T ouchRight Utilities||SWITCHBUTTON;1",""

Chuck: This maybe something that Guino introduced. Can you try it with the latest release that Guino sent out?

Thanks

Chuck · 11-29-2005, 04:22 PM
