Streamlining is one thing, but removing something was not what I meant

I think updating the Odo at fill up's is a great way to make sure that the plugin is as accurate as possible with fuel mileage ect. Entering in fuel, and not having a correct odo reading is gonna throw things way off fast.

Maybe in the future you can have an option to get the mileage from the OBDMPG plugin. This would keep your odo accurate with the car. Not that it would help me, my current Fiero Project would be no good, as it doesn't have ODBII!

carputer1 · 08-13-2009, 02:26 PM

while your at sonics ,open the test skin's skin.ini add this

backgroundpath=

and drop a background image in the skin file and add the name of the image to the path

backgroundpath=swirlred.jpg

Sonicxtacy02 · 08-13-2009, 02:30 PM

tried that.. didnt change the background though.

Code:

backgroundpath=blue_smoke.jpg

carputer1 · 08-13-2009, 02:32 PM

works here , it should work thats how rr carwings dose it it looks for image if none then black

Sonicxtacy02 · 08-13-2009, 02:37 PM

its probably a me only problem considering i've had other problems with backgrounds in the past.. but look

regardless the link has been updated with your request

JohnWPB · 08-13-2009, 02:47 PM

I just installed the new version, and no longer see cost per mile go up when I click in the Maintenance button

Now.... your probably not gonna like me... sorry.

But.... can there be at least an option to use the NumOSK for the fuel data entry? I would try to work around it, but your fuel entry button is a command that internally opens the NumOsk. If you can give me any internal commands that I can use for a work around that would even be great!

The numbers are much larger, and it is much easier to enter the numbers fast with the NumOSK -vs- the full OSK.

I already spent a couple hours building a new OSK, that is now no longer needed. I also created a new NumOSK with a nice large label area at the top for the instructions, I am hoping to be able to use it

Also, on the fuel screen in the original BMV2 skin that is used to clear the fuel data. It is doing nothing that I can tell.

Sonicxtacy02 · 08-13-2009, 02:53 PM

do you care if its RRVM_numosk.skin? Basically the same thing as RRVM_OSK.skin is now.. an exact copy of numosk with the OSKTITLE label and RRVM_ENTER. If you dont care i can add a check for the rrvm_numosk.skin for fuel entry if its detected.

the clear button does nothing at this time... in the event i add it later its already in the demo skin.

Thats fine, as you mentioned one more skin in this beast is not going to hurt anything

Ok, couple things I noticed....

I added a recurring repair for an air filter. I told it 365 days, and 12 months. After completing it, it said I had 361 days remaining. Not that 4 days is a big deal, just something was not adding up somewhere.

I then highlighted the air filter, and reset it, got the confirm to reset and did. Now it says it has been 61,200 miles since I replaced it

num_osk request is added

here's my code for that the time remaining label

Code:

Case "rrvm_timeremaining"
                ReturnLabel = Math.Round(MaintenanceArrayCheck(ItemSelected, 2) - TimeCounter(ItemSelected), 0, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)

MaintenanceArrayCheck(ItemSelected,2) is your time interval as read from maintenance tracker.ini

TimeCounter(ItemSelected) is #TimeCount from maintenance tracker.ini

Let me see those your maintenance tracker if you dont mind.. maybe the numbers got recorded funny or something.

I'll solve the mileage thing after we fix this

Sonicxtacy02 · 08-13-2009, 03:25 PM

doh i see a problem with that calculation.. but i'm not sure its gonna solve your issue. stay tuned!

JohnWPB · 08-13-2009, 03:29 PM

Here is my MaintenanceTracker.ini:

[Main]
TotalDistance=62500
LastDate=8/13/2009
WaypointMiles=
FirstRun=1
[MileageInterval]
1LastDoneMiles=65000
2LastDoneMiles=62500
[TimeInterval]
1TimeCount=4
2TimeCount=0
[MaintenanceItems]
Maintenance1=Oil Change;3000;90;24.95;Use WD 30
Maintenance2=Air Filter;12000;365;24.95;Use KDE-2145 Filter

When I go into history, and select the air filter it is showing the 65500. It seems to be pulling the total distance for the value when an item is reset.

Just to make sure I don't have the label in the wrong place I am using "RRVM_HISTORYMILEAGE"
