OziExplorer

Bugger · 02-02-2007, 04:27 PM

Just moving all conversations about my OziExplorer skin to this thread fro where the previous discussions have been going on.

Old thread is http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/skinbedder/81711-oziexplorer.html

Current Status:
Skin V0.6 has been released and is available if you pm me. (I don't have web space to put it 1.2Mb)

I had system problems and thought I had lost most of my development work, but the trusty backup has come through

... I hope to release V0.7 soon.

END Original Post -------------------------------------

EDIT:
OziEmbedded Version 1.0 now released. See post #83

Hi all

I'm working on a new personal website so you can download the skin here. I'll be posting downloads on my website from now on, but will post in this forum when I release updates.

The site is still under construction so don't take too much notice of it.

Please test out the skin and let me know what needs to be added and fixed...

In progress:

menu hide button (show more map area)
route management

I'll also be cleaning up any left over stuff from testing.

Cheers
Justin.

I've been having a bit of a play with Bugger's skin and have started working on one that will fit in a bit better with the Triton RR Skin. My cheapo ebay touchscreen will also only run at 648x480 so I have made the buttons a bit smaller

Here's a preview so far...

Bugger · 03-29-2007, 09:23 PM

Looks cool. Hope the work i've done so far is helping out.

sure is mate, you did all the hard work

Bugger · 04-02-2007, 06:04 PM

LOL... For me the graphics is the hard bit

Hi,
It would be nice, if your skin allows to add/load/edit waypoints/routes/track, as these are the features i think most of people would want in an gps app.

Thanks

Hi,

You realy do good job

I am try to work with your skin and Ozi 3.95.4m but it don't work. The window of Ozi don't embeded.

(Excuse me for my english)

Bugger · 11-22-2007, 03:56 AM

Can you provide more information on your setup?

Skinbedder version (if different to my download)
Front end?
Hardware processor speed and ram?

Anything else that may be of use to me?

desert · 11-22-2007, 10:16 AM

Hi

Skinbedder version : V3-P2

Front end : I testing without RR directlie with Skinbedder.exe

Hardware processor : Centrino Duo 2Ghz / 1Go ram

First

And The window of Ozi opened over the skin

Thanks

I don't know if this is your problem but I had to change this on an old pc when I was testing it...

In "Ozi.ini" please change this:
[Scripts]
;This is the startup script that tells SKINbedder what to run, embed, and skin with.
StartUp=Run(startup.exe),Embed(OziWindow:5000),Loa dSkin(OziWindow:Left1)

to
[Scripts]
;This is the startup script that tells SKINbedder what to run, embed, and skin with.
StartUp=Run(startup.exe),Embed(OziWindow:10000),LoadSkin(OziWindow:Left1)

If OziExplorer is taking longer than 10 seconds to start up, make this number larger. This is the number of milliseconds skinbedder will wait for the OziExplorer window to open.

Let me know if this fixes it.

Great ! it's Ok

Thanks you Bugger your the best !!

Bugger · 11-26-2007, 03:23 PM

Cool. Glad it was that easy.
I expect to be doing quite a lot of development on this in the few months following christmas...
As soon as I sell my ute, I'll have funds for a new car PC and I actually start using Ozi in the 4x4. I'll be changing all the buttons to graphical symbols so I can make them smaller to give more screen space back to the map area of Ozi.

Please leave some feedback on how you find the skin. I haven't yet used it in a car so don't really know what will and won't work.

Cheers
Justin.

Woops, Sorry, but I think I posted in the wrong thread, so here it is again.

Is this project still active?

I have started doing something similar, but am using the standard RR embedding. Mind you, I have not got past the first screen yet.

Here is he main sceen. Got no need for Sat Radio in this country!

And here is what Ozi Looks like running NatMap Raster which provides a 1:250,000 topo map of the whole of Australia :

Note that I have used Xport to split the GPS feed into three, one for RR (see the stuff at the top of the screen, one for Ozi, and one for the Turn by Turn Street GPS

I was hoping to add some small round or oval buttons down the LHS side.

Cheers

Rod

Bugger · 07-22-2008, 05:14 AM

HI

This is still active.

I haven't done any extra work on this as I've been spending all my funds and time on the mechanicals of my new (old) 4by. I got an '89 GQ Patrol real cheap and am working on all manner of modifications on it.

The download link further up should still be valid. That's one revision old (from memory) and I've already started on graphical buttons instead of the text.

I started out with the embedding like you have working now in RR but found I wanted more funcitonality via buttons for off road work. The small menus etc just don't cut it when you're driving around.

Cheers
Justin.
