This is not Road Runner specific but will probably be tailored mainly for RR.

Lol damn, you beat me to it.

good work, how often do the cameras update?

Enforcer · 02-17-2007, 09:01 AM

Depends, most in the UK every 5-15 minutes. The program checks about (runs and checks code) every 30 seconds at the moment, by I intend making it user configurable (maybe even configerable by individual camera).

Awesome, that makes u the 1st for uk traffic cams! well done

Im using your idrive skin, and trying to make a skin for it using the templates from cardata.skin (bg3_empty.jpg,bg3_off.jpg,bg3_on.jpg,bg_on.jpg) ive added a button to that skin, with the following code B,000,350,200,050,"load;traffic.skin;Traffic Cam;c:\Program Files\Road Runner\Traffic Cams\TrafficCams.exe;Trafficams",""

The skin loads but the progam wont embed in the window (or load)... any ideas?

If i can get a working version, ill upload it so you can add to your idrive project....

Sorry got my path wrong in the readme. Too long without sleep

add this line to the information.skin

Code:

B,000,100,200,050,"load;traffic.skin;Traffic Cam;$rrpath$Traffic Cams\Trafficams.exe;Trafficams"

And use the attached traffic.skin

good work man.

Actually I should thank you as it was your traffic cams plugin that gave me the idea.

Although I'm doing this in pure VB which gives me more control over the pictures.

Also the UK cams don't update as often as your ones, and for these ones the loaction doesn't move.

Also sepereately I have taken your script and put it into VB6, but I won't release it to compete with yours. (yet) maybe we could talk on that later.

Thanks Enforcer, the attached files work fine

, i have just overwitten the code that was already contained in information.skin this now works fine (traffic will be displayed as traffic cams) as long as everyone installs your fine work in c:\program files\road runner\traffic cams

heres the files i have changed:

Sonicxtacy02 · 02-17-2007, 11:43 AM

there's no competition at all. With everything on my plate i'd actually like someone to lessin the load

If they copy exactly what I posted then it doesn't matter what drive they are using as long as they unzip the program to their RR folder, which is what the instructions say.
