I looked at the gpstop.skin all the iGuidance section looks normal (all other sections are remarked out). This hasn't worked with previous skins also so I believe I'm missing how to enable it elesewhere.

A workaround is to change the command to the normal format in top.skin and gpstop.skin. DO NOT USE SKINEDITOR!

Below, only the speedo is working 'cause that's all i want to see for now.

So tree, are you saying that if you have #fore# in the line it doesn't work?

if so check that at the top of the top.skin there is a

/Define Fore 128,255,0

make sure there is a '/' at the beginning

Ok Guys, This was a test to see if the noob was paying attention, right? The problem appears to be the extra double quote. Did I pass?

Working fine here now with this -
L,505,004,060,025,#Fore#,20,"Tahoma:B","GPSSPD",""

GPSLAT, GPSLON and GPSSPD do not show with the #fore# in the line.

This is what's at the top of top.skin:

/DEFINE Selected 255,255,255
/DEFINE Fore 191,164,85
/DEFINE Contrast 255,255,000

Extra double quotes? I don't see it!

good spot, if that double quote is in the top.skin file ( I don't have one available on this PC to check)then that will be the problem.

have a look at the GPSSPD you have / out in your post, plus in my posts above.It is only on the GPSSPD which would explain why that is notworking. However it does not explain then others.

treetop777 · 07-29-2007, 08:38 PM

Aha! I see it now. Had to C&P one on top of the other to tell the difference.

Thanks KShoes, Enforcer.

Is it possible to add a shuffle function, or does it already have it? I couldn't find it! (I know where "repeat" is)

EDIT: Nevermind, found it.

treetop777 · 10-16-2007, 09:39 PM

If you are running IG3 and wondering why the LAT and LON labels aren't showing, change this:
L,230,008,260,025,#Fore#,15,"Tahoma:B","GPSLON¦¦GP SLAT",""

to this:
L,230,008,260,025,#Fore#,15,"Tahoma:B","GPSLON||GP SLAT",""

Look closely at the double pipes, ain't that something! I just replaced the originals with double pipes from my keyboard and now the labels show-up

Change the line in the IG section of top.skin and gpstop.skin.

Nice one. That'll probably be a problem across the board then with the iDrive skins and IG, MapMonkey, Streets & Trips and Mappoint then.

Will be corrected for future releases.

Cheers Tree.

Would like to add another GPS option to the configuration screen; good thing my life don't depend on it!

I just can't figure out how to do it.

I only use IG but i'd also like to have the option to choose garmin (tho i don't like it) if i wanted; even if it meant replacing/deleting the other GPS options.

Is this possible? How do i go about it?

Thanks.

Tricky,

just replacing the name in the idrive.ini would only do just that.

I would need to add Garmin to the list in the exe code.

Easy way would be to use one of the other named GPS's and just place the specific button codes for Garmin between that GPS's name for now. (And obviously change to Garmin in the RoadRunner config.)

treetop777 · 01-02-2009, 02:05 PM

That's what i thought - it was tied to the exe and not very easy. I may try to hard-code a button and see..

Thanks anyway.

I really need to get around to updating these skins, but I'm still going through the plugins, (and updating my forum to the new version of phpbb3) so it may be a while yet.

When I do I will have to have a look at the way the config works.
