Megaduck!

What's the difference between 1.5.1 and 151a?

Thanks, Dokky.

Hi Spector,

I have found some problems with multi route select.

1 - Short click on Route Method opens selection box ok, but if you select 'All' the multi route calculate page does not update correctly . The progress bar and title text are incorrect or in the wrong position while calculation of the five fields is in progress. This appears to depend on what Route Method is currently selected, and Fast apppears to work slightly differently to the others. Also if you select Scenic the Method field is not updated.

2 - Long click cycles through all route methods except Scenic.

Keep up the good work,

Cheers, Ian

Thanks, Dokky.

Specter/dimka have made some slight changes to the Speed Camera routines, removed the Long/Short click options from the POI lists as they simply wouldn't work reliably and made some slight changes to the Car display so that if the GPS position is not valid the car will disappear.

Peter

ps I have just updated the two versions on my website so that if map following is not on the car also disappears.

i'm getting ffuierrors with the new dimka skin

http://igo8mods.com/dimka_download.htm
diMka Version 1.5.1a LIGHT (Specter version - 320x240, 400x240, 416x234,480_272)
diMka Version 1.5.1a DARK (Specter version - 320x240, 400x240, 416x234, 480x272)

when i select the new skin and igo8 restarts, i get multiple errors saying:
FFUIERROR: Unknown object identifier
Identifier=[sc_NavigateMapInfosT_hide]
Script "[Unnamed]" command 0 at tick 65535

I can click "OK" through it and then the cockpit/map pops up

back to 1.5.0b for now

I get the same error with 1.5.4a DARK version. Any ideas?
Thanx Specter for this awesome skin

Would it be possible to merge the 240x320 skin from Megaduck99's skin into Specter's skin? Right now I have to "manage" two versions of the skins - Specter's 1.5.4a for my 480x272 device and Megaduck99's 1.5.4a for my 240x320 device. The look and function exactly the same, but having to regularly keep up with updates for both becomes difficult and sometimes confusing. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm using dimka specter 1.5.4a dark. I'm trying to use spanish ultra voices, but I cannot select them in the menu. Only Catalan, American, Swedish, Romanian, Polish, Dutch, Italian, French, German, English, Russ, and Alert Sound. I've put Spanish Ultra voices in audio/ES subfolder, but with no success.

I'd also like somebody could explain the meaning of all the options in speed camera menu options.

Thanks!

10-12-2008, 09:18 PM
I've been able to use spanish ultra voices placing male and female spanish folders under one of the pre-stablished ones (i.e. CT folder). The problem now is that the sound delays (delay between the kind of radar and the allowed speed) is very small and both speeches are overlaped. I've tried to play with voice_sound_delays.ini but extrangely changing their values seems to have no effect at all.

So I have a couple of Q's:

1: What can I do to change these delays, and where should be voice_sound_delays.ini file placed? (inside voice folder, or inside CT folder?)

2: What file should I modify to allow Spanish language to appear in speed camera menu without the beforesaid workaround?

Thanks and regards! Miguel

Been away a few days- going to see about catching up.
Is there a 154a light version that is 400x240?

I see the 151a listed above the 154b, and there are the megaduck99 versions :confused:, but no 154a light nonMegaduck99?

And what were the light and dark differences?

Hello,

I'd like to know how to adjust sound delays in diMka-Specter-_DTE__v_1.5.4a-480_272 skin. I've been able to adjust them in diMkaspecter154a_dark and diMkaspecter154a_light using the lines

<script d_CTM_SetSoundDelay>
vSoundDelay0.set 110
vSoundDelay1.set 125
vSoundDelay2.set 120
vSoundDelay3.set 135
</script>

<script d_CTF_SetSoundDelay>
vSoundDelay0.set 105
vSoundDelay1.set 120
vSoundDelay2.set 120
vSoundDelay3.set 120
</script>

in file voice_var.ini, but I cannot find similar file in diMka-Specter-_DTE__v_1.5.4a-480_272.

In the code of this last skin it seems like there's a menu item to adjust it, but I cannot find it.

What are the differences between these two skins? There isn't anything in the Megaduck version to outline differences between it and the normal Specter version (the way there is on the website between Specter and original).

Megaduck version supports 240x320 resolution, while Specter does not. I've been begging for the 240x320 skin to be integrated into Specter skin for months now, so hopefully it will eventually make it's way in there. :) Or maybe add the 480x272 to the Megaduck skin instead. :D

Hi Everybody,

I've read through the archive of all the posts in this thread and cant really find a solution to my problem, im sorry if it has been discussed before but i'm looking for a a bit of guidance.

I have an unlocked Navman ICN 510 (320X240) with IGO 8 (8.0.0.44898) the system its running on is MS Windows CE 4.20

I'v downloaded diMka Specter V 1.5.6a light.zip, ive created a folder called Skin from within the Content folder and copied the .Zip folder to it.

When i start the device up and go in to Settings and skins, you can see the option for selecting dimka spector skin, once selected it asks to re-start, after the restart it remains with the default skin.

Any idea's? or maybe my Navman is just not compatible with these 3rd party skins.

Thanks Guys.

The car cursor was originally added to the diMka skin by specter. As of version 1.5.7 it is now part of the original diMka skin.

Panic action...Is intended for countries where speed camera warning systems are illegal. When installed and configured it will disable the warnings and then either move the speed camera files elsewhere or delete them.

At this stage specter has not updated his skin beyond 1.56 and the original version and the modded version I do only support 240_320 and 320_240.

Yes.
You have a different problem to Raidon.

You have a 320_240 device and put simply...You need a newer version of iGO

Version 44898 had serious issues changing skins. I found the only way I could change skins was to remove all of my saved routes from the routes folder, start iGO, change skin, when iGO had restarted with the correct skin I would exit and put my routes back.

The easiest way is to use iGO 8.0.0.49545 or newer.

Raidon,

Can you delete all references to the skin from your sys.txt AND system.ini files. Make sure you remove it from all copies of sys.txt on your device, often there are two. One in the iGO8 folder and one in Program Files\iGO8.

Also there is a typo in your system.ini. the line:
lang_path_hint="lang\lang_swedish_pda_ultra_4.3.zi p"
has an extra space in it in the .zip extension, you should fix this.

Then download the latest diMka Version 1.5.6a DTE from http://www.igo8mods.com/dimka_download.htm
and try again.

Condor,

Did your GPS ship with iGO? If so I would contact the supplier/manufacturer about an update.

If not there are cracked versions floating around you could try.

When I was using 44366 if I cleaned out the routes folder it would then change skins. I could then put my Routes back and use them as long as did not want to change skin again.

Condor,

Did your GPS ship with iGO? If so I would contact the supplier/manufacturer about an update.

If not there are cracked versions floating around you could try.

When I was using 44366 if I cleaned out the routes folder it would then change skins. I could then put my Routes back and use them as long as did not want to change skin again.

Megaduck.

Hi, I deleted the two files in the routes folder and yes the skin worked, but it seemed a bit buggy so i reverted back to the default skin.

The thing is i did'nt back up those route files, will they be created again when i setup a new route?

Any idea's where i can get a cracked version of the latest version, as my version was shipped on an SD card from ebay.

Thanks Again

The routes will be recreated when you save them....Newer versions of iGO are available on this forum, they are stickied to the top.

The bugs i noticed:-

1.) The time seemed to flash in the top right hand corner of the screen
2.) GPS seemed to take an age to aquire a signal
3.) The operating system (pocked PC) was bleeding through ie if i went to click on "Look" it would try and open the start menu of the pocket pc.

1 & 3 are probably related. The clock flashing is also probably from the Today screen. What PDA are you using and what resolution is it? I use an HP iPaq 4700 and do not have this issue.
2. The GPS taking ages to acquire a signal would not be a function of the skin. iGO relies on the GPS unit to tell it when it has a valid signal.

Ah, OK. I don't think I can help then, the only PNA device I have is a Uniden Trax 350 which I have not been able to unlock as yet and the diMka skins all work perfectly on it.

this is not bugs in the skin but the navman unlock try to be on top of other windows simply press the windows icon in the top left corner and all is well this only happens when changing skins after iGO8 has restarted it self

No, not yet.

The issue as I understand it is that Dimka lives in Israel and there is no 8.3.x map for Israel so he cannot test it.

I myself live in Australia and have the same issue, as does specter who lives in the US.

They are american. A carpool is a group of people who all ride in the same car to get to their jobs or somewhere. The idea is to save gas and have company, mainly the former (Save gas). So they will typically say, Car Pool lane cars with 2 passengers or less prohibited.

The copy that is on my website http://www.pjchris.myqth.com/diMkaspecterMod1530Dark.zip has been fixed. If you redownload it, it should now work.

don't have the time or a decent 400x240 version of the 8.3 data.zip. really don't have the time. maybe if we get enough donations to diMka he will have all the motivation he needs. the diMka site gets 1400 hits a day. If just a small percentage paid $1 to $5 each he would probably do it. It's the least we can do for all the work he has already done. I have already paid $10.

Now that I see that Picture I see the v30 does not have the Data field desciptions so the bottom bar extends across to edge and the audio/record moved upwards... then the bottom bar is not centered and if house numbers are bottom then the left side numbers are off screen...

I've also noticed my time does not sync from Satelite to the device, but my sys.txt has not changed and it was working...Still using v54000, what are other's using with dimka skins?- was it the previous version that had the highway images around the numbers correctly?, and not sure what advantages the v54000 gives over the previous...maybe topic for a new thread...

I know the 8.3 adds ability of new maps, or can the v54000 use new maps?
It seems old POIs can be used with the 8.3, but not sure if reverse works for newest maps to work with older 8.0...?

I just reverted back and forth to the 6a and then to the 30a Dark and time is correct??? was it the 6a that fixed or maybe the Dark vs Light ha a difference/bug?

To answer your questions:
1: The versions I've tested clearly show the house numbers correctly at the bottom of the 320_240 screen and do not change position when the panel changes.

2: There do not appear to be any significant changes in the Autosync routines between the skins. In fact there are no differences in the light and dark .ui files. Only .bmp file differences and scheme differences. iGO8 49545 shows the highway signs in the street names, 54000 just shows text.

3: The new maps being released with 8.3.x will ONLY work with 8.3.x and 8.3.x will not work with the older maps.

Did a quick run-through the new skin, and the only problem I've found so far is the car icon doesn't work. You go into Settings, enable it, return to the map/cockpit, and it's not there. You return to Settings and the car icon option is not even enabled anymore. Tried it several times with the same results. Also, when inside of car icon settings changing the car color, you get an error.

has nobody noticed that the ONLY version that actually shows text on the left-hand text boxes (next VP, distance to, etc) while in cockpit mode (the text is too big!!) is the old 1.5.6b. anything newer just plain doesn't work the same. the font's huge. icons protrude from the top/bottom bars... has anyone with a 320x240 device noticed this about the newer dimka versions??

makes no sense to me that somehow the text would be made bigger and the descriptions on the cockpit data fields would just be gone... unless something needs changed.

EDIT: Actually, you get the above error only the first time you go into car icon settings after restarting iGo. After that, when you close the error message, you can keep clicking on the "Select Car Color" button without any further errors, and while the button text keeps changing from Red to Yellow to Green and Blue, the car icon stays unchanged (green in my case).

Hopefully this gives you enough details to pinpoint the problem.

You are using iGO8 8.3.1.57021.


As has been stated time and time again.

NONE of the diMkaspecter skins work with iGO 8.3.x. NONE.

Sorry, but specter and I just slightly modify diMka's original skin. He does all the really hard work. And he has said that until an 8.3.x compatible map is available for his area he cannot adapt his skin properly.

He has created a beta that should work but it is only in 240_320.

OK... You are right about the car. I've fixed it in dimkaspecter1531c that I'm about to release.

As far as the street name goes the upper street field is centered relative to the display panel it is in not the actual center of the screen. It might be possible to actually center it but it would either end before the right hand side of the screen or shift to the right as the name got longer...

Is it a big issue?

I've tweaked the car settings in 400_240 and 416_234 so it should now be centered on the arrow all the time. To download see previous post of mine.

Unfortunately I cannot find any way to center the top street field relative to the screen without dramatically reducing the amount of space available to the street name. This would cause the name to begin scrolling much sooner.

Alternatively I would have had to redesign the entire LHS of the screen to allow for a full width field for the next street name.

Given that within a short period of time I expect we will all be moving to 8.3.x I suspect it's not worth the effort.

i've been trying versions after 1.5.6a on my c310x (320x240) and every version of dimkaspecter after 1.5.6a does not display the nice 'time', 'arrival to dest', etc labels in the left-hand bar fields -- only their respective numbers. is there ANY WAY possible for me to fix this, or for it to be fixed at all? I love some of the newer features in the new releases up to 1.5.31c, i just miss having the fields labelled... any feedback would be just plain awesome.

Now that Dimka skins (1.5.31DTE and 1.60) are released, when do you estimate that a 400x240 ui version will be ready?

Not until a more stable version appears of 1.60 and there is an Australian map for 8.3.1.

I have posted a modified version of the diMka 1.60 skin on http://www.igo8mods.com/dimka.htm that actually works better. You can set the Speed Camera settings etc. But it's still only 240_320 and 320_240.

As an aside the 1.5.31 DTE version for 8.3.1 is based on the first diMka_1.60 beta and d8389 has released three now with major changes between each.

Those labels were deliberately removed to allow the panel to be shrunk slightly so as not to impinge on the bottom street name display. Putting them back would require either the panel to be enlarged again or the text to be shrunk (Which would make it almost unreadable).

You're either going to have to live with 1.5.6 or do without the labels.

Hi sascos
Can you explain how to change the car icon with another car in diMka Skin.Thanks.

sascos
11-17-2008, 06:54 AM
Unzip the skin file, open the resolution folder, and overwrite one of the car.bmp's.
They are named my_car.bmp , my_car_blue ......etc.
Rename the icon you want to use to a name of the icon which you want to replace.
Do the same in resolution/night folder.
Zip back the archive and that's it.

I hope that author of skin wan't mind this.

I respect him very much for his effort.

This is just a small modification to make iGO more personalised.

Seems 30a and 31b versions that I had gave the problem, but reverted back to 6a and it was fine... I'll try the 31c version to see how it goes... 31c gave the Error as well :(

I'm using 400x240... any 8.3 skinning yet on that resolution? I was happy to make a small donation for the efforts made thus far, and will make another with a working 8.3 skin.

Now that is REALLY weird. I cannot replicate the fault on my device and upon checking there are NO code differences in ANY of the history routines between 1.56 and 1.5.31.

Oh and btw for all of you guys repporting bugs with the diMka skins....


Thanks, it helps us a lot.

Can I ask that you consider reorting the bugs on the diMka homepage guestbook?

http://www.igo8mods.com/gbook/dimka_guestbook.php

Specter and I read that quite a lot and you might get a quicker response than here.

Megaduck99

you got it. mad appreciation on the new beta, totally fixed that bug on initial load. any plans for the dark version? that'd pretty much perfect this skin :)

Now that is REALLY weird. I cannot replicate the fault on my device and upon checking there are NO code differences in ANY of the history routines between 1.56 and 1.5.31.

I am at a complete loss...It might be possible that the newer skins use more memory and this causes the error...but that should show up if you try and plan a really long trip with many waypoints.

Megaduck99

Tried the delete save altogether, and start fresh to see if it would give error... It is OK now... wondering if maybe one of my history points created in the 01/2008 maps is not liked in the newer maps?

I did notice that the bottom sound and record buttons accept clicks on them in new location above the bar and old locations in the bottom bar where they used to be.

Was also wondering if there is a quick way to access the zoom and tilt controls from the cockpit view?

Can someone also tell me what the difference is between light and dark versions?

hey guys, any idea why the speedcam option under 'warnings' woudn't even show up even though the files are all there? is it possible this is a defect in 1.6.1 0101 beta? i swear they were there before, and i've even gone as far as wiping my igo8\save directory... they just don't show up.

ideas? i'm running 8.3.1 sept12/ttsfixed.

FYI, with 1.6.1 beta5, on startup, mio c310x/320x240:

FFUI error.

FFUIERROR: Unknown object identifier
Identifier=[sc_2DHeadUpEnabled]
Script "sc_2DHeadUpCheck"

looks like something in there has the 3d heads up check = 0 but it's not an option possibly?

Hello using the DIMKA Specter 1.56 skin on a Samsung omnia on resoloution 240_400 and i have a couple of problems i would hope someone on here can help me with.

1) When i select the option for divert and then try to select one of the saved criteria i get the following error ' Failed to open ui_igo8/common/icor_ref.bmp exiting application and then the program crashes.

2) Some of the option menus are in a foreign language though the majority are in English.

Hope someone can help and thanks in advance.

volume buttons still do nothing in 0.1.7.2 beta. mute, or slight sound. either way, no volume bar (it doesn't move; i have to literally go into settings -> sound and move it manually)... is this a data.zip issue, or a skin issue?

Trying to modify the 8.3.x diMka skin for native resolution 800x480 but it keeps restarting when loading. Can anyone who has modified a skin to another resolution give some pointers. I have changed all x & y numbers to what i think are correct but it still restarts :confused:

Many thanks

^^ You don't seem to understand. There is NO need for a native 800x480 resolution UNLESS you have high-res BMPs. And, because there are no high-res BMPs, making a skin that has a resolution of 800x480 will do nothing to enhance the look. What you are doing will be absolutely redundant with what we already have.

Most of what you see when you use a 400x240 skin on a high res device (800x480) is vector-based anyway. That means everything is scaled to the resolution as dictated by the entry in the SYS. The vector-based things include the maps and fonts, and their quality has already been optimized due the vectors embedded into the fonts, maps, etc. However, the BMPs, which are the image files, are not "scalable". They are simply doubled in both dimensions.

So, to recap, you will only be able to take full advantage of the resolution by somehow obtaining a set of high-res BMPs. If you skilled in photoshop, or at the very least, understand how to properly upsize an image file, the benefits would be very very marginal.

I am currently using a device that supports 800x480 natively (iPaq 310) I have the the latest data file that has high res BMPs for the 800x480 resolution. There is a noticeable difference between the 400x240 and the 800x480 resolutions on this device. The crispness of the higher resolution is far greater then the lower one. If you are able to give any pointers/howto on modifying skin code to another resolution that would be great. :)

I think what he's saying, is that you also need the bmps used by the skinner (not the ones of the official skin, which is available in 800x480 and 480x800), at those high res to take advantage of it. If you have those gfx only in 400x240, then all you can do is scale them up to 800x480.

Yes I understand that and I'll be creating/modifying the images for the 800x480 resolution myself. I am just looking for a little help to understanding if there is anything special required in the coding to change to a higher resolution or do you just change the X & Y digits. I will be posting it for anyone to use when complete :cool:

I am using v8.0.0.49545 running from an SD card together with diMka skin v1530 (modified by Wertrv) for 480x234 resolution. Towards the end of a journey of 150 miles the system began to run very slowly, and eventually it stopped with a message saying "out of memory".
Does anyone know why, or if relates to the diMka skin and how I might solve it? I would prefer to continue using the diMka skin rather than reverting to the default screen if at all possible.

Also my diMka skin does not show words above/below the data fields such as Time to Destination. Distance Remaining etc. The figures are there but there is no text to say what each data field is. It's not a show stopper but I have tried different schemes but that makes no difference. Any ideas?

All those who are on 8.3.2 are running out of memory might be doing so because of an inapproprate data.zip. There are smaller data.zip files that have been modified for 8.3.2.

Hi Megaduck99,
Your skin works great until I put my c320 in standby and then turn it back on. My c320 then reboots. I'm using the latest optimized JM data file and no schemes. Switching back to the default skin solves the problem.

1) When I use car icon for cursor, I still see the pyramid arrow in front of the car (its u.g.l.y). How do I disable the arrow from showing?

2) I use the old unlocking scripts (c310auto.exe), and when I minimize (the main reason I am using this skin), the taskbar is shown (even if I had it hidden before). When I hide the taskbar after minimizing, and restart igo8, the taskbar pops up. How do I make it hide automatically. (Also sometimes, the taskbar "clock" appears randomly when using the skin).

i have block a road on the route,but the next time the road is not blokked.

It's not easy to do while driving, so I usually do it once I get somewhere. Go to the map view and put the cursor on the road you want to block. Look for the icon that has a red circle with a white bar in the middle. Once you do that, the road (or sometimes just a road segment) will turn a different color (I think mine turns blue with the day scheme and yellow at night). You can then manage them from the "manage" menu.

Do you have any plans to introduce 240X400 version? Thanks in advance

Is there a way to control the 2nd turn to be displayed only when within a certain distance. I used to run the Ultra skin and then followed Specter to dimka. It's part of Ultra but seems to be well-hidden.

Thanks!

Specter and/or Megaduck99 - I'm using 8.0.49454 and it appears now there are newer 8.3 than I have...Question with 8.0 I can use the 1.5.31c or can I now use the 1.6.10? for 8.3 I can use the 1.6.10?

I have the ipaq 310 800x480- so I am using 400x240.

Moderator- Please Sticky this thread :)

If you look at the diMka skin home page at :
http://www.igo8mods.com/dimka.htm
the download page shows quite clearly which skin versions are for which iGO versions.

OK maybe it was clear when I looked- I think 6.10 was listed in the 8.3.xxx compatible section, but is stated works with 8.0.xxx, but now confused again- 6.10 not there and now there is an 8.8 beta that is only 8.3.xxx

Were there version between 6.10 and 8.8 and how many were there?- I suppose having the latest is best, what is latest non-beta version for 400x240?

Any plans to update home page and history- I thik this thread offers some history, but nothing at the site on these updates as they happen

Thanks

How is the numbering sequence convention working

Also is there a reason why 5.31 dark is less than half the size of light? and what is light/dark versions difference- I know I've asked in past and it was listed at some point, but maybe someone could supply the quick answer-Thanks.

specter said that unfortunately that won't come back in the skin for 320x240, since it makes the font too small for the numbers. personally, i think the style from the old dimkaspecter 1.5.6a or whatever for 8.0.x looked just fine with the label... i dont mind it being smaller one bit.. *wink wink* ;)

Look at the laneinfo_signpost.ini, eighter in data.zip or in your skin zip. In both cases, it's under \ui_igo8\240_320\
(skin has priority over data.zip.) (and of course, the folder with your resolution. 240_320 is just an example.)

max_signpost_width=85 -> this is the width of one sign (if not there, just add it.)

signpost_max_lines=4 -> this controls the max height

And the signpost colors are defined in data.zip in config\signpost_colors.csv by the way.

Yeah, but I don't see them on my C520 at 400x272. I would like some option to have those come back. I'm using the DTE version for my parents and wife (both with C520s) because the labels are there and they don't have to remember what the numbers otherwise mean. Also, the panel is smaller and now I can't display the seconds on the clocks because the display gets cut off.

I don't mind that they are missing on my Moov 200 (320x240) since I can remember what they mean. Like I said...maybe an option that allows for the labels?

But...I do see the labels on the latest screenshot that Megaduck posted...perhaps they do make a comeback?

yeah a toggle would be nice.... i seriously prefer them in 320x240... they're still gone as of beta 0.9.0rc1. it seems that release was just for the road sign stuff to toggle on/off, and the ability to toggle off lane info if street signs are present, which appears not to work (at least in a simulation). when 'don't show lane info with signs' is checked, it still shows them.

However, since I tried 0.8.6, I deleted diMKa because apparantly no diMKA version supprts iGO8v8.3.2 yet, only v8.0 and v8.3.1.

With respect to 8.3.2 compatibility, you should read d8389(dimka)'s post at ppcwarez (http://forum.ppcwarez.org/viewtopic.php?p=302086#302086) where he states it does work in 8.3.2. I've been using it on 8.3.2 since the beginning and have not had any problem.

Also, for the speedcam voices, you need to download the ORIGINAL dimka skin (the latest one will do) and read the readme file. It explains it all. I got my speedcam voices working just this morning following the instructions there.

FWIW: diMKA himself (at least I think it's him) states on his website http://www.igo8mods.com/dimka_download.htm that his skins function on 8.3.1xxx. Nowhere on this website, nor on http://www.i-go8.com/ (to name one) is stated that 8.3.2 is supported. And I checked this few minutes ago.

It is possible diMka works on iGO 8.3.2 , but....

My experience (with Gurjon skin, however) is this: v4.6 should work with 8.3.xxxx according to all websitses I looked. (so I unnderstand 8.3.1 as 8.3.2 as well) It worked on 8.3.1. That's for sure.

After I installed iGO 8.3.2 properly, GJ 4.6 worked fine also, all simulations went well (even a few 1000 miles, no problem) and short trips were guided flawlessly in the real world.
Until a crash came up (offcourse just at the precise moment when I needed my gps badly! :( ) The first real test, a trip a bit longer than tested before, iGO failed due to the skin.

Shortly after that, GJ v5.0 for iGO 8.3.2 was released. The release notes mentioned that skin v2 and v3 worked on iGO 8.0 (I knew that), skin v4 on iGO 8.3.1 (as explainde above) and skin 5.0 on iGO8.3.2.
Ah! suprise! Was that the reason I had to use standard skin again that day? Who knows?


So I think I may switch to diMKa, why not, but I will do so when I can be sure it works fine! Not sooner.

So far, Gurjon states his skin supports 8.3.2 and I don't have any reason to doubt that statement (yet).


And something else: Gurjon, from today on, will stop developping his skin. He will only work on bugs.

troycarpenter
12-11-2008, 01:07 PM
I'm sure someone else will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the iGo8mods website is dimka's site. That site is run by others that aggregate all the dimka skins into one place. When d8389(dimka) posts a new version, it tends to be on a Russian site and eventually shows up on igo8mods.com.

So whether or not the igo8mods.com website says the skin is 8.3.2 compatible or not, the author of the skin said so in the referenced post. Granted, that is the first time I've seen a claim that the dimka skin is 8.3.2 compatible, but that just means the other websites haven't been updated.

Yeah, I think the igo8mods.com section on the voices needs to either mention you need to get the scripts from dimka's original rar file, or provide it as a separate download. I just happened to remember a post that said something about the readme file in dimka's original rar file (although I couldn't find that post when I went looking yesterday morning), which prompted me to look there.

troycarpenter is correct. The new diMka skins for 8.3 support 8.3.2 and 8.3.1

I think you must have a very old cached copy of the diMka site as the current download page clearly states compatibility with 8.3.xxxx

No comment.


In fact: yes,I do have. Since 8.3.1 skins occasionally work on iGO 8.3.2, but do crash iGO, as you read and quoted, it is important that a compatible skin version is used. Especially when the crash is at a very unwellcome moment :(.
The developper has sort of responsability here warning for crashes using the wrong skin version on the right iGO version or vice versa.

Excuse me here. I realise it may sounds harder than I want to, and one can easily misunderstand me. I admire the developpers and am very gratefull for what they are doing.
But at this moment I don't know a better translation for what I am trying to say with reponsabilty. :o Sorry for that, but I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

You are right in that the page changed today to reflect the version of iGO in the specific descriptions of the skins. This was an oversight on our part as d8389 stated on ppcwarez (http://forum.ppcwarez.org/viewtopic.php?f=256&t=46621&p=302414#p302414)
di/\/\ka 8.3 0.6.0 and later developed and tested on igo 8.3.2 only.

So versions from mid November are 8.3.2 compatible.

However these versions are not guaranteed to work correctly as they are BETA versions until today.

Todays version is tested on 8.3.2 so I will change the page to reflect this.

You are right in that the page changed today to reflect the version of iGO in the specific descriptions of the skins. This was an oversight on our part as d8389 stated on ppcwarez (http://forum.ppcwarez.org/viewtopic.php?f=256&t=46621&p=302414#p302414)
di/\/\ka 8.3 0.6.0 and later developed and tested on igo 8.3.2 only.

Thanks for the reply and clarification!

Again, I appreciate very much what you and your friends are doing. A big applause is on its place here! So one moer time: thank you very much!
(I am also glad you seem not to have misunderstood me :))

killer 1.0 release - i love the new features (panic mode), even though i don't think speedcams are illegal in the US, it's neat to have for when i'm abroad :-D

First UNRAR.
Then read the readme83 file. That explains where to put the schemes and audio files. The Speedcam voice folder contains also some explination. Put the skin zip file in the content/skin folder.

I hope this is clear enough. If not, ask again.

The easiest way to be sure the speed camera voices will work with the new releases is to download the voice files from iGO8Mods (http://www.igo8mods.com/dimka_download.htm) again as they now contain all of the needed script files.
