iGO8 diMka Skin

[Megaduck99]

I looked at the original Dimka skin and the button does not work with this skin either. Was this functionality purposely turned off? How can I re-enable the "Mode" button on this screen?

Thanks for your help!

I don't understand this... The mode button is not disabled. It should cycle through Itinerary-Detailed Instructions-Road List-Route Summary.

At least it does for me.... What resolution are you guys using?

Ah, so it is not the skin then.

I just renamed my save directory and restarted iGo and reselected Dimka skin, and now it seems to be working fine!

I guess there was something in my settings that was messing it up, but it is good now.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,
I am using Dimka Skin exclusive for 480x234.

My problem is that when I select a car graphic, the arrow cursor also remains, so the car is sitting on top of the arrow.

How can i fix this ?

Thanks

Also a note for future release,
It would be nice to be able to have Time and Speed displayed in the screen saver at the same time.

Is this possible?

I would like to donate to keep this project alive, where can I do this.

Thanks.

Hi currently using "d" version, works great. I downloaded and saved new file to the skins folder. However, the option to select the e version is not on the list of skins. Do I need to delete the "d" file? What do i need to do to get it to work?

Add to sys.txt

3dcarsizemin=1250
3dcarsizemax=2500
3dcarsizemul=7500

This makes the arrow smal enough to fit under the car.

I didn't write the screensaver, WertVRV did that and I don't use it for exactly that reason...It doesn't provide enough information.

The first section of the speedcam_xxx_yyy.ui in the skin.zip or data.zip files contains the settings you need to change. Below is the text from the speedcam_240_320.ui. Change the values in the second last line to include the ones you want, zip it back up and it will work.

Hi Megaduck99
I have downloaded your skin which is excellent,
but I've got a couple of questions
my speed cams show up as the standard igo cameras and not yours..?
On the camera voice test page I cannot change the camera audio warnings,and can you change the !user1 or Alert because they can be a little annoying..!

thanks

I don't think this is actually by WertVRV but has been modified by someone else.

His post on 4pda.ru still shows the current release at 1.1.11.8.

Hi to all.
I have a difficulty to use DiMkaWert_1.1.11.8_ABPTC_ADIVOR_3D_CAR.
I receive this message : MortScript V4.11b11 (.mscr and .mortrun extension registered registered. Please run any .mscr / .mortrun file... Mirko Schenk ).

Hi.
When going around corners it takes a while for the car icon to catch up with the arrow. Is there a way to fix this? I tried searching but I could not find anything.
Thanks.

I am using diMkaspecter1.1.16.zip with iGo8.3.2 on both my C310 and C320 and have a problem. A lot of times, both the destination and "next street" are displayed on top of each other at the top of the screen. Is there a way to turn off the disable of destination?
Thanks.

[funtoy]

Is there something obvious that I overlooked?
On my setup, the destination is on the left side of the top field and the next street is toward the right. The center portion of the two are overlapped.

Can you please work on a solution for the 800x400 skin ver 1.1.11.f so it will not crash when using TMC option?

Many thanks,

[funtoy]

Megaduck99,
Have a question about the top street field. How is the "Smart Field" supposed to work? I installed the latest 1.1.17 and did couple of short one. If the "next street field" is set to "Smart Field", it only shows my destination through out the trip. If I set it for "Next Street", it will change and display as I expected.
Thank you.

Hmmm... Smart field...I didn't name it just brought it in from the diMkaWertVRV version.

What this does is connects the top filed to the data fields. If the data fields are showing time to dest, dist to dest etc. it will show the destination.

If, however, the data fields are showinf time to WP, diest to WP etc, it will show the waypoint name.

I am running IGO8.3.2 and I like using the dimkaspecter1.1.11 skin, is there something I can do in the systext to enable an "auto sleep mode" or "shutdown"after a certain period of time. I am not at my home computer so I can't look in my systext file to take a peak at it.

[saspo59]

Megaduck99,
i love very much to use yours skins but i think there is a need to
put a simple switch button in the fast display that will swich between the car kerssure and the blue arrow kerssure it is very dificult to see the car at nigth mode becouse it is dark then we can swtch to the blue arrow .

[WuNgUn]

Why can't I install this skin?? :(
This will work for PC version, right?
There was no skin folder in my content directory, so I made one, and copied the zip there...
Also, there is a ui_igo8 directory in the root folder...tried deleting it, and it gives me a loading.bmp error.
Tried replacing the ui_igo8 contents with the skin ui_igo8 contents, and get the same error.
When I run iGO before changing anything, there is no option in the menu for changing the skin either...

What am I doing wrong?

[titanium180]

WuNgUn,

I don't know if the skin works with the PC version. An easy way to tell is to put the skin in the content\skin folder (like you have done). Restore the original ui_igo8 folder in the root. Then try to change the skin. If the option is grayed out, or the skin isn't listed, it's not compatible.

titanium180

[WuNgUn]

Thanks Titanium...I think it's not compatible. :(

Hi, ive just installed dimkaspecter 1.1.19 version and ive found a bit of annoying bug. It doesnt center the car in the night mode, in the day mode it centers the car correctly on the road but in night mode the car is placed more on the left side of the road. In day time mode it works properly. Any idea what can be wrong?

[Megaduck99]

Don't know, but I'll check...

Edit:

Download the skin again, it is fixed now. There was a bug introduced in v1.1.17 that I missed.

Thanks for pointing it out...

I have this skin for a while and I love it. I only have one problem.
When I click on menu->find->history->address, it only shows me the destination address but doesn't start routing.
Simple question is how to start to start routing?

After selecting your destination, go to the Map and you should see the cursor flashing on your selected address.

Next select the Destination flag by clicking on it in the menu sidebar.

Now the Destination flag will appear on your selected destination and you should see the streets of the route highlighted.

(If you want to double-check that it has been entered correctly, go back to the route menu and check with "Flyover" or"Simulate").

Go to the cockpit view go and "off you go"!

I have been using Dimka skins for a long time on my Mio C220 and thats been working as it should. Now i got my hands on a SE Xperia x1 and installed the same IGO8 version as i have been using earlier, but i can't get the skins to work.

I tried a lot of skins that should be ok for 480*800 but almost none can be seen in the skin selector.

The only skin i could see is the one i have been using on my C220 and that is diMkaWertVRV_111.zip that i have tried to make to work thru IGO skin wizard.

When i choose this one it almost goes all the way to the start of IGO but at the absolutley last second i get this "FFUIERROR: Unknown layer referenced Indentifier=[map]".

What does that mean??.

Does anyone successfully running a Dimka skin on a X1??


I dont know what else to do, i downloaded and tried all dimka skins i could find that would work on a X1:s resolution but not a single one appears in Igo menu.

Hi, i didnt know where to post it so im gonna try here as i use dimkaspecter 1.1.19 skin. The problem i have is that i want to disable that terrible noise when overspeeding while approaching a speedcam. I did tick off the option to warn while overspeeding in speedcam settings but still it does warn me. Do i need to put something into sys.txt to disable that ??

Megaduck99, can you please fix the 800x480 skin issue with TMC? all other versions are working fine but the 800x480 one.

Thanks!

[Bwanna]

Megaduck99. I have a Jensen vm9022hdn (NAV101) system with IGO8 and diMkaWertVR V1.11.19 skin. The problem is the entire skin is slightly hidden at the top, as well as, the same amount ending short at the bottom.

I've had no luck looked into offsetting the screen about 3-5 pixels down.

Question: Is there anyway to add a border at the top that would result in the entire skin moving down?

I'm willing to experiment with trying this myself , but I'm unfamiliar with the software that was used to create these skins.

Thanks ahead of time!

Wow, I was looking at some of our Forum's stats and this is one of our highest rated threads.

BTW, the good news is the new version is 1.1.24 released yesterday. The change log says "Fixed TMC event list & TMC event map screens. Minor bugs fixes. Code cleanup."

A member just PM'ed me asking if I use this skin. I will answer here because I am thinking starting a new thread about skin comparisions. I have this as one of my skins. In certain locations, I like the way this one displays the maps.

I will say, the first skin to come with a Star Fleet or Jedi theme (can you imagine an Enterprise or Tie Fighter cursor) will get me vote!

I am using diMka WertVRV 1.1.25 skin with iGo 8.3.2 (June 25 version without the data.zip and branding.zip) and Navteq 2009.q1 maps on my Mio C310. I have HQ Susan and Dave TTS voices installed. For the most part, everything works fine except the following issues:

1. I am going to take a long trip (around 2300 miles) so it is critical for me that I stay informed if I miss an exit or go off-route. Unfortunately, with the setup (as mentioned in the beginning para of this post) I have, my unit does not announce "Route Recalculation" when I go off-route. I have followed the following instructions from Kamoteka but that has not solved my problem:

If you want to hear "Route Recalculation", open the zipped voice file and find the info.ini file. Find the following entry and remove the ; on line 1:

;recalulate="Route recalculation."

(and recalulate is not a typo - that is how it is!).

The following is my "info.ini" file:

[INFO]

2. My setup does not show any Lane Assist arrows (the arrows on top or bottom of the screen, on freeways) on freeways. What am I missing?

3. I have read in the forum that some people hear announcements telling the direction of their destination, i.e., on what side of the road their destination will be. I have never heard that on my unit. Could someone help with this issue?

Edit: 4. I am not able to hear the attention tones either. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot Nabi. I always tought this as a skin feature, did not know that it is on scheme file. This adds functionality to alternative route calculation map.

[incisivekeith]

I am using diMka WertVRV 1.1.25 skin with iGo 8.3.2 (June 25 version without the data.zip and branding.zip) and Navteq 2009.q1 maps on my Mio C310. I have HQ Susan and Dave TTS voices installed. For the most part, everything works fine except the following issues:

1. I am going to take a long trip (around 2300 miles) so it is critical for me that I stay informed if I miss an exit or go off-route. Unfortunately, with the setup (as mentioned in the beginning para of this post) I have, my unit does not announce "Route Recalculation" when I go off-route. I have followed the following instructions from Kamoteka but that has not solved my problem:

The following is my "info.ini" file:

............
2. My setup does not show any Lane Assist arrows (the arrows on top or bottom of the screen, on freeways) on freeways. What am I missing?

3. I have read in the forum that some people hear announcements telling the direction of their destination, i.e., on what side of the road their destination will be. I have never heard that on my unit. Could someone help with this issue?

Edit: 4. I am not able to hear the attention tones either. Any ideas?
.............

Thanks a lot.

I have found solutions to a couple of my problems mentioned above. I have solved the route recalculation announcement problem and can hear the side of the road the destination will fall on. The following is my post in another thread which contains the solution:

Thanks. I have been struggling with that route recalculation problem for a few months now, so much so, that I just gave up hope. But, I am glad to report here that it works now!! I downloaded TTS Susan and Dave voice files from post #11 of Kamoteka at [Only Registered Users Can See Links] installed them according to the instructions he had in a text file contained in the zipped package, removed the ";" in front of ";recalulate="Route recalculation." (found in the info.ini file in the zipped voice files of Susan and Dave) and everything works fine now.

Kamoteka's solution of removing the semi-colon in the line ";recalulate="Route recalculation." would have worked earlier, a few months ago, with the older voice files, but just today, I realized that I had two HQ Susan and Dave files in the voice folder" original HQ and a modified HQ file. Due to this, my unit always used the original HQ files, while the changes I was making, were in the modified voice files, so the changes never got implemented. I just assumed that the unit would use the latest files, the modified ones, but that was not the case. Also, because this was the problem, it seems that the announcement for route recalculation would have worked even without Kamoteka's files and with the removal of the semi-colon, but I have not tested that.

One more thing, with June 25 version of iG0 8.3.2 (only with iGo.exe and the License), and the new Kamoteka voice files, I hear the direction of my destination too.

I still don't hear any voice assistance when approaching a speedcam, no attention tones when approaching a turn and no lane assist graphics. Any ideas about these issues? Thanks.

[Megaduck99]

incisivekeith,

remove ding=0 from your sys.txt and you should get the attention tones.

Speed camera voices are a completely separate issue as they are installed separately. iGO does NOT ust the TTS (or non TTS) voices specified in the regional settings for speed cameras.

You need to download and install the voices from the download page on igo8mods.com and install them. Then they can by configured in the Warnings settings.

Thanks, Megaduck. Just a post above yours, I posted a link to the solution I implemented. I changed the value of ding from 0 to 1 and I was able to hear the ding sound, but it was a little annoying, so I changed it back to 0. About the speedcam voices, I did download the voices for the speedcams, but I noticed that the voices I have currently are newer than the ones on the Dimka skin's Web site. I don't remember where I downloaded them from, but I am confident I copied those voices there according to some valid instructions. Should I replace the newer ones (not sure if they are from Dimka Web site) with the older ones on Dimka Web site?

Also, I have installed WertVRV 1.1.25 and I no longer have access to user voices for sounds and alerts. Is it normal?

Edit: I read one of your posts in which you suggested long-clicking on the route recalculation button to have it enabled again. But, in the manual for the iGo 8, it says that just clicking it once (not long-click) will recalculate the route and also enable automatic route recalculation. Can this be achieved via some editing in the sys.txt or any other way?

Hi.
When going around corners it takes a while for the car icon to catch up with the arrow. Is there a way to fix this? I tried searching but I could not find anything.
Thanks.

This is a big problem for me - the lag. It seems the GPS positioning is always lagging the actual turns, which is problematic with streets located close to one another and if a turn is missed. Is there any way to take care of the lag?

Megaduck99... I love your work and version of DiMka's skin. I have it on all my devices. I have been meddling around with it though, trying to get the buttons in the cockpit (the ones that are transparent) to be bigger. Not for me, but for my mom. She has the hardest time hitting the "menu" button to exit the cockpit. Any quick tips, since all I have done is wreck several copies thus far. I guess is I could just get that one button bigger it would be enough. I still want it to be transparent, just much bigger.

Xtyler, were you able to do something about the menu buttons? I love the WertVRV skin but the size of the buttons are too small for a normal size finger. Since you mentioned the size of the buttons, I haven't seen anyone addressing it. Is it too difficult or trying to change it will mess up other elements of the skin? Thanks.

[xtyler92]

Nope... I have been living with the small buttons. I had planned to dive into it and see about maybe making some bigger buttons, but I never got around to it. I am not a skin developer and what these guys do is way beyond my current knowledge. So for now I am just living with it.

[mpe06001]

I know this is a noob question thats already been asked but I have a 7in double din with the latest version of iGO8 and I downloaded the diMKA Megaduck skin and put it in my SDcard/iGO8/contents/skin folder but when I try to turn it on under the settings, the skin option is turned off....my unit runs on a WinCE 5.0 with a 320x240 resolution which was supposed to be supported by the skin I downloaded....

Thanks for any help...

[Megaduck99]

mpe06001,

If the file you downloaded is the .rar file you need to extract it and place the .zip file from inside it into the skin folder.

Megaduck99

[mpe06001]

thanks man, that did it!!.....now I have one more quesiton; I downloaded the cars file and put in under storage card/iGO8/ like it said on the thread I got the skin from but all it lets me select from are red, green, yellow, and blue cars.....What am I not doing right?

Thanks again

[Megaduck99]

The cars file needs to be decompressed and the Cars folder placed in the iGO8 folder

No changes are necessary to sys.txt. You need to download Kimyaci's car collection, Install it then there is a file (_dimka_cars_list.ini) that is an index file for the .bmp images.
Note you can't have just one bmp for your car. You need the car.bmp, the rear lights bmp and a shadow bmp for night time use.

Hello Megaduck99

I'm running Igo8 25th June version with 1.25a skin.

Problems- Every time get some error at the start. ( FU... not found)

Cars - I downloaded the cars and put it in /cars folder, checked I have both the ini files and all bmp files but can not select cars.

Shutdown - on soft shutdown, on restarting the program restarts completely.

Unit doesn't ask for shutdown even after the car engine shutdown.

Your help is appreciated.

Thank you :thumbsup:

PS - Any chance to show speed limits on internal roads (I'm in US). I used Garmin 765T last weekend and it shows speed limits even on smaller streets in US. I drove from Florida to Toronto (Canada) and it was showing speed limits throughout US but in Canada that feature didn't work. Thats really nice feature to have

Hi,

I was having trouble entering POI's in iGO8 for my Mio C310X. Somehow, I was able to enter a category in "My POI" and within it one entry with an address. I cannot duplicate that and cannot enter a second entry with an address in that category.

Mio's navigation it seems has an easier way of selecting "Home" as a destination and I was able with extreme difficulty enter my POI's. Also it was easier finding the "My POI's" icon in the Mio navigation. But.... I do like iGO8.

Thanks,

Hi guys,

Using iGo8 V8.3.4.102680 and have just installed the megaduck diMka skin/speedcam voices/cars.
iGo8 boots fine, I goto the settings and choose the skin in which the program says it needs to restart which I say yes to.

When it reloads, its still the default skin yet in the skin choice screen it has the new skin highlighted yet its still showing the original skin.
The only time it shows anything is when I quit the program and I see the diMka image as its quitting.

Have copied the zip file into the skins folder etc, but dosnt seem to want to show for me.

any info would be greatfully appreciated.

Try renaming the zip file to like "megaduck" or shorting the file name by losing the "_" . I had the same problems and did that and I got it to work. Let me know.

MANUAL ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])for diMkaspecter skin

Megaduck99

[devilz05]

Hey guys,

I need some help with my MIO C320. I have IGO 8.3.2.96054. It came pre-loaded with Kikker 2.5 and diMkaspecter v. 1.1.11d. These skins work just fine and can be accessed through the skin menu in IGO. That having been said, I cannot get any of the new skins to be recognized. I tried putting Kikker 3.2 and diMkaspecter83_1.1.25a into the IGO8/content/skin folder where kikker 2.5 is, but IGO still does not recognize them.

Thanks

[Nabi]

That is likely because your resolution is not supported by the new skin. Choose another skin or a non original (adapted) skin.

[devilz05]

I'm pretty sure the resolution is supported. At least it says it is on the downloads page.

[Megaduck99]

Most likely you are just putting the .rar download file into the skins directory.

You need to expand it and then put the .zip file in the skin directory..

Megaduck99

[devilz05]

Megaduck, I will give that a try. That is strange, though, the working skins in the IGO8/content/skin folder are still both in their rar format.

EDIT: I got it to work, thanks Megaduck. You were right, you do have to unrar the folder. Once you do, there is another rar folder that you put in your skin directory.

[Megaduck99]

Update to the Driver Alert diMkaMegaduck skin:

diMkaspecterDA 240x320,240x400,320x240,400x240,480x234 and 480x272 (Driver Alert versions only)

[hakweldag]

Hello there all from Holland.

I am trying to get the Distance control of the radar settings working in the Dimkawertvrv 1123 skin.
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]

The advanced types are configurable, i can set the distance in meters to the "blackpoint". But the Radar and speed camera settings simply will not work.

Tried allot with the sys.txt but nothing is working.

So i realy want to set the distance to the redlight camera, speedcamera, and section control via the graphical interface from Igo. How do I get this working?

Please help me out, I am already a few days playing with this, but almost giving up.

I have now an Igo from a friend, and before I will buy myself a Igo I need to get this settings to work. Like in Tom Tom i want to set the distances from each radar or speedtrap. Otherwise I have to stich with Tom Tom.

So for the clearance...... I have a Igo 8.3.2.96054 with skin dimka-wertvrv-v1123. In the "speed setting" everyting is working except for the "distance control". When I go there the menu is off and says "Distance control is turned off".
The advanced types are working, only not the speedcam and redlight settings are not working.

How do I get these to work??? PLease please help me.

:mad2:

[MichelR]

In the latest Dimka DA skin it does not remember the selected car-icon.

Everything I restart the goes back to the standard car-icon.?.

Someone any idea?.

Also have a problem with selection a warning voice for the speedcams.
I select voice warning, dutch. After I restart again it is not remembered?.

Perhaps a issue with the sys.txt perhaps?.

[m0j00]

Same problem here so your not alone :)

[Trex600N]

Hi guys,

This is just a quick question as not seen anything in any settings as yet (maybe im blind lol!) but is there a way to make the software alert you when you plan a route to warn you that there is a toll on the route planned?
So far ive done a few tests and not once has it popped up a warning that there is a toll road on the route (tomtom pings and asks if you want to avoid it etc) but the only way I have found in iGo8 is to actually go into the route screens and look under one of the options (sorry cant remember which screen exactly as not got my unit at hand).

So would appreciate it if anyone could let me know if there is an audiable warning tucked away either in the software itself or if it might be hidden in the Dimka skin anywhere.

Many thanks.

[JustMe2008]

I have a problem with latest 8.3.xx dimka skin. The cars doesn't appear on 3d cars selection.
I've unpacked the 3DCars.rar in Igo8/3DCars and added the following to sys.txt:

[3dcar]
work_dir="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
mortscript="%SDCARD%/iGO8/3DCars/Themechanger/MortScript.exe"

[map]
3d_scale_carmodel=1
3dcarsizemin=2500
3dcarsizemax=5000
3dcarsizemul=25000

What am I doing wrong?

Also I have another problem... on the top of the screen appear the date and hour all the time and I want to get rid of it... It doesn't disappear even if I disable the top - Data Fields. Any idea hot to get rid of the date and hour because it is really annoying...

[raf04]

Hello megaduck
the last skin 1.1.25c has a problem: when you turn on warnings SpeedCam voice, restart is disabled, the 1.1.25b does not.

thanks

raf04

[MichelR]

Got the same thing..

You also got that when you select a 2d Car icon and restart IGO it's back to the standard car-icon?.

Already wrote this to megaduck.. Let's hope for a solution.

Luckily not alone I notice.

[Megaduck99]

Problem is, I can't replicate the problems....All works fine for me...

What versions of iGO and the data.zip are you using?

As far as the 3dcars go, somtimes the %sdcard% variable does not seem to work. Try replacing it with the name of your storage card EXACTLY.

Megaduck99

[MichelR]

Have this IGO on my PDA -> iGo8-V8.3.4.102680 PDA PNA

I've copied the 3dcars into EXTENSION folder and now I can select Cursor Car. The problem is that the arrow is not replaced with the car.

i have v 8.3.2.64873.

Do you have any idea how I can solve the problem regarding the cars and the one regarding date and time?

The 'Cursor Car' button is for the normal bitmap cars that appear in 3d over the top of the arrow icon.

The 3DCars completely replace the arrow.

The 3dCars folder needs to be in the root of the iGO8 folder NOT the extension folder. If installed correctly the 'Cursor Car' button is replaced with the 3D Cars button that allows the arrow to be changed. Read the instructions included in the download from iGO8mods.com for complete instructions.

[fjcpancho]

info im using
iGO 8 R3 series - v8.3.4.102680
with data.zip v10b for iGO v8.3.2.64873 ~ v8.3.2.93112
2din nav 480x234 resolution

this is what i did to make 3dcars to work

first i downloaded the 3d cars and put it in igo8 root folder
then i took MortScript.exe form themechanger and put it on igo8 root folder as well
and i deleted the empty themchanger folder

second i looked at my 2din and saw the path for navigation software i saw it first said "StorageCard"
so i changed my path in system text
this is my sys.txt:

[3dcar]
work_dir="\StorageCard\iGO8" ;location of 3dCars folder
mortscript="\StorageCard\iGO8\MortScript.exe" ;location of MortScript.exe

hop it helps

[MichelR]

How can you see what version of the data.zip you got?. v10b?

[fjcpancho]

you either have the one that came with your software or you download a modified version

[fjcpancho]

search google for "iGO data.zip v10b for iGO v8.3.2.64873 ~ v8.3.2.93112"

[MichelR]

I got IGO v8.4.102680 so that data.zip will not work for me.

[Nabi]

It will work! Look at post #851 (top of this page)
Download if needed at [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])

[MichelR]

@Megaduck -> What data.zip file are you running. Since you don't have the problems that I have?.

Will try the data.zip from the above link. Hope it works.
Are the driver alerts working in this Data.zip?. Don't seem to find them in there.

[Nabi]

For driver alerts, you need special add-on license, Navteq Europe maps, a da-data.zip, ...
Take one step at a time.
In post #851is explained how to add 3D cars.

[MichelR]

Problem was not getting IGO v8.4.102680 to work.
It is working also with driver-alerts

The problem was that DimkaSpectre skin DA 1.1.25c1 is not remembering the choosen car icon and the traffic cam voice warning settings.

GJ 6.11.p.da is working fine and remembering everything.
But rather use Dimka skin much nicer.. :smile1:

Now gone back to IGO v8.3.96054 with DimkaSpectre 1.1.25c and got the same
problem. :scared: car-icon and speedcam voice warning is not remembered.

Just tried DimkaSpectre 1.1.25a and now everything is fine again??

So after DinkaSpectre 1.1.25a something went wrong in the skins perhaps the 3D cars, mapchanger or ETA announcements creating these problems??

Will stick to v.8.3.96054 for now with 1.1.25a skin.

Michel,

A thought has just occurred. I know you are not using 3dCars but is the 3dCars folder present in the Extension Folder?

If so the later skins are set to detect that and turn off the cursor cars automatically.

Can you remove it (Mapchanger will still work if it is in the extension folder).

Megaduck99

[Megaduck99]

@Megaduck -> What data.zip file are you running. Since you don't have the problems that I have?.

Did you ever figure out why is it not staying becuase I'm using the same version as your and it not staying either. I even try to save my data and after restart it went back to the default car no matter what I do it just won't stay.
Let me know if you figure it out. thx.

And I don't have 3d cars folder in my extention folder.
Also removed anything about 3d car in sys.txt.

Even with you're data.zip and branding.zip I still get the same problem? So it was not the data.zip that I had.

Something still wrong some where?.

But thanks for all the help.. Will use v.8.3.96054 with 1.1.25a skin for the moment.

How do you change the text color from the diMkaspecter 1.1.25c to a different color.
On the GPS screen where it say Time to Dest, Distance to Dest, Arrival time, ect..
it has the default color of black and would like to change it to a white or red.

On the GPS screen where it say Time to Dest, Distance to Dest, Arrival time, ect..

At the start of the navigatemap_xxx_xxx.ui file is this line:

<template xetNavInfo_text x=1 y=-2 w=75 fonttype=bw fontsize=10 align="RIGHT">

fonttype=bw refers to a font color definition in the main_scheme.ui file.

<FONTTYPE bw color=#000000 color2=#FFFFFF color3=#AA0000>

If you remove the fonttype command in the navigatemap file and replace it with color=#RRGGBB you can make it any color you like.

The values are in hex so RR,GG,BB can be 00 to FF with 00 being no color and FF the maximum. So to make it yellow you would use color=#884400

I'm trying to get mapchanger to work. The directions are unclear where to place the map files folders. It tells me to put the map files in these special folders then I have no idea where to they go. Now it tells me it can't find the map files. Thanks in advance.

[Megaduck99]

To get iGO to start up there must be one map in the content\map.

Other folders also live i the content folder eg. content\map_ta

In the Garmin StreetPilots of a few years ago, there was a page that displayed the sat info. In the field that showed accuracy it showed it in feet, On my mio c320 running igo8.3.2 it shows it as High,Good and poor depending on the sat strength. Would it be possible to change the skin around so it displays it in feet?

You MUST USE the original data.zip or one of the multi-resolution data.zips that contain the ui_igo8_da directories. NOT a copy of data.zip v10b that has had the name of the directory changed...If you are using data.zip v10b then use the non-DA version of the diMka skin with the data.zip unchanges (ie. with the ui_igo8 directory inside). Chances are that if that file is not in your data.zip then Driver Alerts won't work anyway even if I put it in the skin.

That file IS in the common diretcory of the original data.zip that shipped with version 8.3.4.102680. Have a look for it by unzipping the data file.

Megaduck99

Use:
8.3.x data.zip v10 b with diMkaSpecter1.1.25x
8.3.4.102680 with data.zip supporting Driver Alerts and diMkaspecterDA1.125x.

Sure,

When in 2D mode (Direction up) just tap anywhere on the map to show the zoom buttons and then click the "N" button below the + and - buttons. This sets the screen to "North up"

Hi Megaduck99

What about killing any kind of "smart" zooming?

Thx

[Megaduck99]

Hi Megaduck99

Thank you. I did not saw that option.
What about killing any kind of "smart" zooming?

Either of:

a: Click on the map and then select one of the preset zoom level at the bottom (the three left options).

b: Settings/Map Settings/3D Settings/SmartZoom (Bottom of screen), then 2D Smart Zoom and set the sliders the same...and you can turn the 2D rotation on and off here too.

Hi Megaduck99

I already use first option. Now I will try teh second: the same value of min and max zoom for 2D and 3D mode.
Is the bug, or something is wrong with my GPS. When I chose the intelligent zoom option I can not go back (nothing responding) so I must reset the GPS.

Not sure.. my GPS never freezes....even when I click that button...

But.... what resolution is your device?

megaduck99

[milanv]

Hi Megaduck 99

Resolution of my GPS device is 480x272.
Here is what is exactly happening. When I enter the smart zooming option everything works normal: I can change parameters and mod from 2D to 3D. The option "help" also works OK. The back arrow for smart zoom menu return also work. GPS is freeze when I press the back arrow for navigation mode return.

Hello Megaduck99,

I have a HTC Touc Pro 2 device that can display 480x800. I am trying to use the HD skin designed for this but it does not seem to display properly on my device. Have you had any reports of this?

Thanks,
Steve

I have the TeleAtlas maps in iGO8/content/maps; the Navteq maps in iGO8/content/maps_nt and sys.txt with:

[switchmap]
changer="\SD Card\iGO8\Extension\MapChanger\MapChanger.exe"
1=",map_ta,\SD Card\iGO8,,"
2=",map_nt,\SD Card\iGO8,,"

When I select change to Navteq I get a message that a reboot is required and I select YES, iGO shuts down but does not reboot. The map files have been changed with Navteq maps in iGO8/content/maps, and TeleAtlas maps in a new file map_ta. And when i launch iGO again it starts up with Navteq maps.
I was under the impression that iGO would restart by itself. Is that incorrect? Is something more needed?

MD99, to launch iGO I have a shortcut in the My Device\Windows\Programs folder on my PDA. I click on that shortcut to launch the program. Does that have anything to do with why MapChanger does not reboot automatically?

I'm having an issue with the 3d Cars.

I get the screen with the cursor car bar, the cursor car settings, and 3d Car model. when i click on the 3D car bar it gives me a blank screen with a black bar on the bottom that says default cursor and scanning library. Then it never shows the cars.

Using skin 1.1.25e Dimka/specter

I have the 3d cars folder in the Igo8 directory and have put the 2 lines in the sys.txt file.

here are the lines from my sys.txt

work_dir="\Storage Card\iGO8,"
mortscript="\Storage Card\iGO8\3DCars\Themechanger\MortScript.exe"

Thanks

Md99, I have resolved the problem. The executable file in the root directory was named Mobilenavigator. Renaming it to iGO8.exe fixed the problem with MapChanger. Thanks for following this thread.

If that screen is appearing then theskin is finding the 3dcars directory.

The first time you install 3dcars you have to click the scanning library button. If you have done that and no cars appear then the skin cannot find Mortscript.exe so there is an issue either with the second line in sys.txt or the version of Mortscript.

I get the screen with the cursor car bar, the cursor car settings, and 3d Car model. when i click on the 3D car bar it gives me a blank screen with a black bar on the bottom that says default cursor and scanning library. Then it never shows the cars.

I fixed that so now it shows the cars in the screen where you can select the car. But when you go back to the main screen where it shows the map there is no car. If I turn the cursor car back on it shows up fine. Any ideas?

:confused5:

[korin]

Hello carnut5009
how did you solve your problem, the 3dcars dn't show up when scanning too. Do you know where can I find another mortscript.exe. Some say that is the problem.

[korin]

I solved the problem, It wasn't mortscript.exe the problem I was using trainling slashes like "/" in sys.txt and I should have used slashes like "\". Now 3dcars show up and everything work fine

[carnut5009]

I'm just going to concede defeat on the 3d cars. I can't get them to show up. :banghead:

[costas]

I'm just going to concede defeat on the 3d cars. I can't get them to show up. :banghead:

Try this :
Make a folder gfx or, if that folder already exist, just write 4 files :
tank.mdl->car.mdl
tank.mdl->car_grey.mdl
tank.mdl->car_night.mdl
tank.tex->tank.tex
By this moment you can delete 3DCars folder, MortScript but you'll have 3DCar cursor in all skin, even in default skin.
Here is some gfx with diferent model of cars : [Only Registered Users Can See Links]
All you have to do is copy gfx folder (or if already exist, copy those 4 files in your already exist gfx folder) and you'll have 3DCar cursor.

[carnut5009]

I figured it out!!! After doing this for about a week :mad2: I couldn't see the forest for the trees. It was in the sys.txt, I had the 3D car sizes too small. I bumped them to bigger numbers and :hurray: it works! Thanks for the help. Boy do feel dumb!

[kruuth]

Data.zip v10b CANNOT be used with the diMkaspecterDA skins....

If all else fails here ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) (For a short while) is the one I use. It contains both ui_igo8 AND ui_igo8_da directories.

To change between the two add to sys.txt:

[interface]
skin="ui_igo8" or skin="ui_igo8_da"

Remember: Before changing from _da back to normal you MUST select the default skin.

Megaduck99


The new DATA.ZIP works great. Thanks!

[stik]

How can I change the loading screen to a BMP of my choice.
I have tried inserting a "loading.bmp" into the skin in the correct folder and resolution for my device. But once I do that IGO can no longer see the skin.

what have I done wrong?

[costas]

@stick:
Select your new loading.bmp - right click - copy.
Select skin - right click - open with Compressed (Zipped) Folders - Browse to your resolution folder (ui_igo8_da/480_272) - right click - Paste

[stik]

@stick:
Select your new loading.bmp - right click - copy.
Select skin - right click - open with Compressed (Zipped) Folders - Browse to your resolution folder (ui_igo8_da/480_272) - right click - Paste

Thanks for your reply,

That is what I tried to do , but once I add the new loading.bmp the file is no longer listed as a valid skin in IGO8. But if it that simple I must be doing something wrong. I will try again.

[costas]

Don't try to UnZip/UnRar and then Zip/Rar back the skin .
Just copy loading.bmp in skin opened with open with Compressed (Zipped) Folders .

[Megaduck99]

Thanks for your reply,

That is what I tried to do , but once I add the new loading.bmp the file is no longer listed as a valid skin in IGO8. But if it that simple I must be doing something wrong. I will try again.
If you do unzip it you must make sure the directory structure inside the zip stays the same and you must use 'normal' compression in WinZip.

Megaduck99 great work on all your skins and really happy. I am still having problems with getting 3dCars to load.
I am running igo8.3.4 August 13th with dinika skin 1.25e, I have loaded sys text as describe :
[3dcar]
work_dir="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
mortscript="%SDCARD%/iGO8/3DCars/Themechanger/MortScript.exe"
placed 3Dcars in iGO8 root dir, When I load system I get the screen that reads Cars I click on that and get into a screen that in the centre reads ....scanning library..... I click on that then the screens shows "Please wait'.well I do and nothing happens.I am at my wits end anyone PLZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz

thansk in advance...............:thumbup1:

I'm not sure what device you have, I fought with it for about a week before I got it to work.

here is the relevant portion of my sys.txt that pertains to the 3d cars

[3dcar]
work_dir="\Storage Card\iGO8"
mortscript="\Storage Card\iGO8\3dcars\MortScript.exe"


Also try making your slashes like this \ instead of this /. See if that helps.

I'm running a Mio c320 and they look great now.

I put my mortscript.exe in my 3dcars folder and it seems to like it.

Hope this helps

This scaled staffing line route (with a visual display of maneuvers along the route – blue stripes). Additionally added mapping of intermediate points – yellow stripes.;
3. Selection field values informatsonnyh data through the list (before was not very convenient sequential scan);
4. Added main picture in 480_234 (to avoid overlap and improper display of menu items when using the skin in this resolution with the “other” data.zip);

Hello all,

I am running iGo 8.3.2 (102680) and using the Megaduck 1.1.26DA skin. I have a HTC Imagio that supports 800x480. I would like to run in landscape mode. Should I be using the 1.1.25HD skin instead?

Thanks,
Steve

[Nabi]

Steve, The answer is as simple as this:
You should use a skin that supports 800x480, whatever skin that is.
Or no skin at all.

3. Changed the safety screen mode so that the screen will change to the Summary screen when above a certain speed and will drop back to the normal cockpit when a Safety camera warning shows or when a certain distance from the next manoeuvre. Distances and speed can be set in the skin.
4. The skin can now audibly remind you of your arrival time, both when re-calculating your route and regularly every x minutes. The reminder frequency can be set in the skin. (TTS voices ONLY)
5. The data fields in the cockpit screen are now wider in 400x240, 480x234 and 480x270
6. Changed the sound icon in the cockpit so it will fade like the other buttons .

Megaduck99
Edit: Updated to 1.1.27 many many changes as the megaduck skin now is based on the WertVRV skin.

[MichelR]

Having a problem with the new Dimka Wetvr 1.1.27 skin.

Getting error while starting up IGO.

FFUI error; Parse error [</layer> expected]

Someone having a idea what the problem is?.

[Megaduck99]

Michel,

Which skin exactly and what resolution/device are you using?

Megaduck99

[carnut5009]

Well Magaduck you have outdone yourselves this time. This skin rocks. I am impressed. Lots of new things to play with. Kudos to whomever put this one together!!!! :thumbup:

[Megaduck99]

carnut5009,

Mostly this skin is the work of WertVRV, with a few things I've added after.

Megaduck99

[MichelR]

Using Dimka Megaduck99 1.1.27

Resolution 240x320 on a HP iPaq HX 3790

With you're Data.zip (including DA).

[Megaduck99]

MichelR,

Can you download 1.1.27a from igo8mods.com and see if it works?

Megaduck99

[MichelR]

Thx Megaduck.

This solved the problem.. :thumbup:

Even te problems I have before like not remembering my car icon (2D) and not remembering the warning voice setting with 8.3.4.102680

Great.. :thumbup1:

On the site is still the link to the normal 1.1.27 had to change it in the URL bar to 1.1.27a
The file is also still named 1.1.27...

[Megaduck99]

MichelR,

I've fixed the links now and I left the zip called the same deliberately.

Glad it fixed your problems...

Megaduck99

[SpaceClick]

I am using Version 1.1.27a of diMkaWertVRV/Megaduck and there is a car on top of the normal arrow. How do I get rid of this car?

I tried setting "Cursor Car" to "Always off" but it just keeps getting reset back to "Always on".

Thanks

[Megaduck99]

A couple of people are having this problem.

Can you tell me:
1. Does the problem happen with the diMkaWertVRV skin?
2. What resolution is your device?
3. What version of iGO are you using?
4 Which Data.zip are you using?
Can you post your sys.txt and system.ini as well please?

1. No the problem does not happen when using 1.1.27 diMkaWertVRV skin.
2. 240x320 (Mio C310x)
3. iGO 8.3.2.64873
4. I believe the data.zip is the one that came with iGO 8.3.2.64873, it is 8,939,790 bytes in size.

Spaceeclick (and others),

Ok I've nutted it out. Nothing to do woth your setup, a snafu in my version of the skin.

It would only happen if you did NOT have the cursor cars installed and were using the built in cursor car or just wanted to use 3d cars.

Fixed in version 1.1.27b on iGO8mods.com.

Megaduck99Excellent, it works now, thanks!

One other thing... How do I get the "Advanced power sounds" to work? I assume I need to install some sound files (for ACPowerON, ACPowerLow, etc.) but I don't know where to get them or where to put them.

Thanks again!

[virgowang]

is this bug?
I can get the satellites fixed, but in the screen of gps data, there are no signals of satellites (the green dots and the yellow bars". using 320_240_pna.
thanks.

[funtoy]

Have a question about the mapchanger wtih version 1.1.27 of diMkaWertVRV skin. Is there a way to change the POI along with the map? I like to compare the POI files between TeleAtlast and NavTeq but have no easy way to do it.
Thanks.

[antsabout]

Hi there,
Can anyone help?
I have installed the diMkaspecter skin and ran it.
I get an error displayed saying the following.
IGO8
failed to open file:
audio/voice_sound_delays.ini
exiting application.
What am I doing wrong?

antsabout

[costas]

Is there a way to change the POI along with the map?
On gurjon skin you can switch poi folders by adding in sys.txt
[switchmap]
poiswitch=1
Of course you have to make another 3 poi folders as you see on the picture below :

[Only Registered Users Can See Links]

I think it will work and on Dimka skin.

[seedyeh]

fantastic work duck!

i have a quick question, for my maps, under sys.txt I have:

[switchmap]
changer="\SDMCC\iGO8\MapChanger\MapChanger.exe"
1=",map_ta,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
2=",map_nt,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
3=",map_ot,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
4=",map_us,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"


under folder:

iGO8
├───content
│└───map [TelaAtlas]
││└───map_nt [NavTeq]
││└───map_ot [Other]
││└───map_us [User]

however when i go into the mapchanger option, it only loads a Basemap.fbl file regardless if I select TA or NQ maps. I put all my NT maps into the NT folder (i don't have any TA maps).

The basempa.fbl is located in the 'map' folder, I am unable to select any NT maps


suggestions?

thanks

[milanv]

@seedyeh

It appears that folders map, map_nt, map_os and map_us are in different folders. It should be in same folder CONTENT. See the one post above for folder structure.

[seedyeh]

@seedyeh

It appears that folders map, map_nt, map_os and map_us are in different folders. It should be in same folder CONTENT. See the one post above for folder structure.

hey friend, thanks for replying

so i did what you suggested and copied the folder structure in the post above my original posting.

Under content folder, I now have separate folders for the following:

[Only Registered Users Can See Links]

-map is empty
-map_ta contains a basemap.fbl (but i dont think it's a TA map in the first place)
-map_nt contains all my local region maps in *.fbl format
-map_os is empty
-map_us is empty

under sys.txt I have:

[switchmap]
changer="\SDMCC\iGO8\MapChanger\MapChanger.exe"
1=",map_ta,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
2=",map_nt,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
3=",map_ot,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
4=",map_us,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"


But when I try to load up igo8, it says maps cannot be found (and will not load up properly)


any ideas?

[grijamor]

Excellent, it works now, thanks!

One other thing... How do I get the "Advanced power sounds" to work? I assume I need to install some sound files (for ACPowerON, ACPowerLow, etc.) but I don't know where to get them or where to put them.

Thanks again!

Well you can add the .wav files directly in the audio folder of the main directory of iGO or in the audio folder of the skin. iGO will recognize bothever 2 paths, the only thing you have to do is to rename the .wav files exactly as the names will appear in the options of the skin. Take a look at my audio folder of the program iGO8:

[Only Registered Users Can See Links]

is this bug?
I can get the satellites fixed, but in the screen of gps data, there are no signals of satellites (the green dots and the yellow bars". using 320_240_pna.
thanks.

Take a look at this capture, you have to enable these signal strips (get to become green & grey) in order to get sat. signal, otherwise you will have to configure out your [GPS] sys.txt section:

[Only Registered Users Can See Links]

If you don't have any coloured points inside the globe may be you got tha battery out of the PDA, deleted SAVE folder of the program or something like that, iGO8 resets itself and when this occurs you have to wait for a long time getting sat signal again.

Have you got these files inside the audio folder of your skin diMKa related to your country?

[Only Registered Users Can See Links]

My case for example:
diMKa_wert (or specter)/audio/ES/voice_female/voice_script...

In Gurjon skin you usually have this file (voice_var) in: EXTENSION/speedcam

hey friend, thanks for replying

so i did what you suggested and copied the folder structure in the post above my original posting.

Under content folder, I now have separate folders for the following:

[Only Registered Users Can See Links]

-map_ta contains a basemap.fbl (but i dont think it's a TA map in the first place)
-map_nt contains all my local region maps in *.fbl format
-map_os is empty
-map_us is empty

under sys.txt I have:

[switchmap]
changer="\SDMCC\iGO8\MapChanger\MapChanger.exe"
1=",map_ta,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
2=",map_nt,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
3=",map_ot,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
4=",map_us,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"


But when I try to load up igo8, it says maps cannot be found (and will not load up properly)


any ideas?

These are the correct folders:

[Only Registered Users Can See Links]

with the correct path in sys.txt:

[switchmap]
changer="\SDMCC\iGO8\MapChanger\MapChanger.exe"
1=",map_ta,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
2=",map_nt,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
3=",map_ot,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
4=",map_us,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"

Care that to make a successful changement of maps you have to install .fbl files in, at least, 2 folders. I have Teleatlas basemap en maps in map folder and Navteq basemap en maps in map_nt.

Hope this help.

Merry_Christmas to everyone,


GJM

[costas]

@seedyeh, you have one extra map folder, delete one

[Only Registered Users Can See Links]

Script will rename map folder in the one that miss from that 4 folder.
Let say you have map, map_ta, map_ot, map_us and you choose map_ot :
map => map_nt (the one that miss from that 4 folder : map_nt, map_nt, map_ta, map_ot, map_us )
map_ot =>map

[oluwaponmile]

Hi People,

Would anyone be kind enough to share their own working speedcam voice (UK) with me please (with instructions of folders directory). I have have downloaded many sound files and copied them to 'Igo8/Audio/EN/male_voice, female_voice' I have even tried copying to 'Igo8/Audio' even to the skin archive without success.

I have tried using 'ultra voice' and 'igo8 2006 voice' without success. The only voice i hear is ding, dong etc.

I am using dimka 1.1.26 (a) (800x480, 480x800) on my touch HD phone.

Any help will be appreciated.

Happy new year in advance

GJM

thank you for your reply

so i did what you suggested and now have this in my CONTENT folder:

[Only Registered Users Can See Links]



in my MAP folder, I have some random TA maps:

[Only Registered Users Can See Links]

in my map_nt folder:

[Only Registered Users Can See Links]

My sys.txt file I copied what you had:


[switchmap]
changer="\SDMCC\iGO8\MapChanger\MapChanger.exe"
1=",map_ta,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
2=",map_nt,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
3=",map_ot,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
4=",map_us,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"


Okay, so when I go into map changer under the settings --> menu (in igo8), when I try to switch from TA maps to NT maps, it works, but it ONLY loads the TA maps. So it only wants to load maps from 'map' folder, and NOT map_nt folder.




I made sure the the map files were indeed TA and NT (they are different file sizes too).

I am very confused here, Do you know what I maybe doing wrong?

[grijamor]

, Do you know what I maybe doing wrong?

@ seedyeh;

You are doing nothing wrong, realize that sometimes depending on the placement of map folders in the program first time you will have to switch mapchanger.exe twice (in some cases even three times) so try again until program will show you up the Navteq maps.

Regards,


GJM


EDIT: by this way it should work for sure, if not there is something in your path program you will have to check out (or some missing file ...)

Could it be because i am using the igo 8 8.3.4.102680 and the data or branding files are not correct?

or a license issue?

i am changing the map by going into settings --> menu --> map changer

i tried to change from TA to NT, everytime I need to restart the igo8, and still the nt maps do not load...

it seems like the programme will only read from map folder, and none of the other map_nt, etc. folders?

I don't think it is a problem of data nor brandingzip file. Could be this option is not working on PNAS. Just you can try with this MapChanger folder used in Gurjon skins and see if you are lucky with (to me it works with diMKa and Gurjon skins). Your sdcard paths seem to be correct so I don't know what else to say.

Good luck,

sigh that did not work either

in my mapchanger folder, i have 2 files: MapChanger.exe and MapChanger.nfrun (for dimka skin). perhaps i'm missing something there?

i'm using: diMkaMegaduck_1127b skin

is there a programme to check paths (like for gurjon skin)?


also in my license folder, i have:

I'm not sure about your device but mine titles the storage card as SDMMC, not SDMCC.
Mine still doesn't work either but I get the impression that mine might be getting farther than yours. If you succeed please post your file structures and sys file. I will do the same if I have good luck.

newbee here. I was going through all the forums and downloaded dimKa skin of megaduck. Now I have a rar file, When I unrar I have many folders one of those being diMkaspecter1.1.27b.zip. Should I just add this zip under content\skins ? Or should I be concerned about other files/folders for ex: font, mapchanger,schemesspeedcamvoicescripts, utilities etc? Should I modify anything iin sys.txt?

Thanks for your help,

I need help getting the 3D cars to work. I have followed the directions and placed the 3dCars folder under the IGO folder. Every time I stat IGO I get the following error.

FFUIERROR: parse error
[</script> expected]

I have tried the 3D cars on the 1.1.26 Dark and 1.1.27b skins and both give me the same error. I am using a Mioc320 running miopocket with IGO 8.3.1.56007 Sep 12 2008 version. I have not updated IGO since this is the latest version that doesn’t have the wake up and parking lot bug in it. I have also tried a newer data.zip file for IGO 8.4 and I got the same error. The only way to get rid of the error on start up is to delete the 3Dcars folder from the memory card. Can anyone help me out and tell me what I am doing wrong? I’m not sure if this has anything to do with the version of IGO I am using. Does anyone have the 3D cars working on either of these skins with a C320?

I have also found that the map changer does not work with 1.1.26 Dark. I get the error listed below.

Failed to open file:
$ico_map_provider.spr

I was able to get the map changer to work under the 1.1.27b skin. Below is my sys.txt file. Thanks for the help in advance.

I tried your sys.txt file and it still gives me an error when I start IGO. I even moved the MortScript.exe to the 3Dcars folder like you have it and it still didn’t work. Thanks for trying to help but it seems like there must be some kind of mismatch with the version of IGO I am using and the 3Dcar files. When start IGO it gets to the mainscreen loading then gives me the error.

If someone has any idea how to fix this error I would appreciate it. Thanks again for trying to help.

Hi Cartman311,

I have got the switcher to sort of work with your settings, but then the DESTINATOR maps I have put in the map_nt folder are "not found" on startup.

Am I doing something wrong or do I have the incorrect notion that Destinator maps are Navtech?

Many thanks

This is what you list as your sys file:
[switchmap]
changer="\SDMCC\iGO8\MapChanger\MapChanger.exe"
1=",map_ta,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
2=",map_nt,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
3=",map_ot,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"
4=",map_us,\SDMCC\iGO8,\SDMCC\iGO8,"

I'm not sure about your device but mine titles the storage card as SDMMC, not SDMCC.
Mine still doesn't work either but I get the impression that mine might be getting farther than yours. If you succeed please post your file structures and sys file. I will do the same if I have good luck.

that did the trick!

had to change it to SDMMC and it worked!!

im not sure why i didn't do that before arg

thanks!

I used the navteq and teleatles on the map changer and they worked. Just put the teleatlas maps in the Map folder and the navteq in the Map_nt folder. I don't think you can use the destinator maps in IGO.

Perhaps you could try: diMkaspecter1.1.25e.zip or: diMkaspecter1.1.27b.zip

they are very similar to the wertvrv version

Thanks for the info, installed dimkaspecter 1.1.25c1 and it runs just fine. Can't understand why wertvrv wouldn't. Personally, I like it a lot more. Hopefully updates down the road will fix it.

Mio C720 running IGO Amigo 8.4.2.109504 (August 27 2009)
with dimka skin VA1.1.3 for Amigo, everything is fine except
the Compass display on the left hand panel (above 'Distance to Dest.)

All I get is the ruler markers, but NO COMPASS CHARACTERS N, S, E,W etc),just the grey background

Any ideas. Many thanks for your help

I am having a problem with the latest Dimka skin Version 1.1.27 just iGo restarts into default skin.


You have to decompress the zip skin, rename ui_igo8 to ui_igo8_da and compress all files again.
That's all...

I see that there is an MP3 player in one of lower resolution skins. I have the 800x480 Dimkaspecter skin and I run an MP3 player in the back ground when I run iGo, but have no way to control it.

Could I make a request to incorporate an MP3 player into the skins to be controlled within iGO?

Megaduck or anyone who can help
I need help getting the 3D cars to work. I have followed the directions and placed the 3dCars folder under the IGO folder and updated the sys.txt file with its location and the location of the mortscript.exe file. Every time I stat IGO I get the following error before IGO finishes loading.

FFUIERROR: parse error
[</script> expected]

I have tried the 3D cars on the 1.1.27b skins and I keep getting this error any time I start IGO. I am using a Mioc320 running miopocket with IGO 8.3.1.56007 Sep 12 2008 version. I have not updated IGO since this is the latest version that doesn’t have the wake up and parking lot bug in it. I have also tried a newer data.zip and branding files for IGO 8.4 and I got the same error. The only way to get rid of the error on start up is to delete the 3Dcars folder from the memory card. It seems like it is looking for something that isn’t there. Can anyone help me out and tell me what I am doing wrong or what I am missing? I have been able to get map changer working with no problems but I have been trying for weeks to get the 3D cars working with no luck.

Carnut5009
I see in your sys file that your mortscript.exe is located in the 3Dcars folder. Did you move this there and if so why? Every version of the 3Dcars folder I have DL has this file in the themechanger folder. Also did you have to do anything else beside adding the 3Dcars folder and updating your sys.txt file to get the 3D cars to work with dimk 1.1.27b skin? Did you have to change the dat.zip file or add anything extra to the IGO folder?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me a hand in getting the 3D cars to work.

Hmm... my folder with the Mortscript.exe was also in the 3Dcars folder. It seemed to work no problem, however the cars all look like crap IMO. So cartoonish and pixely if that is a word. I thought they were going to look better than the previous cars in the past Megaduck skins. Anyways, you should open the 3Dcars folder and in that is another folder 9can't remember what is was called, but within that other folder you will find the Mortscript.exe, so when you add the mortscript= line to your sys.txt you'll want that path to point to that Mortscript.exe in the folder in the 3Dcars folder. You'll also want to include the mortscript.exe in the mortscript= line in the sys.txt.

[cartman311]

Thanks xtyler92 for the reply. I have tried that and it still gives me an error. I can't even start IGO without the error when i have the 3Dcars folder on my memory card. My mortscript.exe is inside a folder called themechanger inside the 3Dcars folder. I have tried moving it to different locations and also tried different mortscipt files. Nothing seems to work. Below is what i have in my sys file.

The mainly problem is how OS see SD Card (Storage card, SDMMC,...)

See my post 958 and use CheckPath wich can give you a lot of usefull info.
Or run CECmd to see how under what name OS see Card.

I can't even start IGO without the error when i have the 3Dcars folder on my memory card
Post error message.
Also try to delete \iGO8\save\userlists folder.
3DCarList.mscr create a list wich associate for each .mdl file from 3DCars a .bmp from 3DCars\bmp folder.
If a .mdl file don't have his .bmp file, it won't work.
So, delete all .mdl file except one (let' say tank.mdl) and check if you have that .bmp file(tank.bmp) in bmp folder.
Or try to redownload 3DCars folder.

Thanks costas for the reply. I am pretty sure it is not the path name. I have map changer working with the same path name so i have to believe that the name is correct. I will try deleting the save\userlists and deleting the .mdl files some time later in the week when i get a chance. I just want to make sure i under stand. Are the .mdl files in the 3Dcars\bmp folder? Ij not where are they located? Thanks for the help and i'll let you know if it works.

Hello guyz.
I have a couple of issues maybe some1 will be able to help me.
I use igo8.3.2.91972 with the latest dimka's skin 1.27. Previously ive been using 1.1.19 of dimka's skin. What did hit me first is the size of the car. In 1.1.19 its way smaller than in 1.27, and i didnt touch any configs at all. The Cars are the kimyachi set of cars. Ive only updated the skin and seems in the 1.1.19 cars are smaller than in 1.27. Wondering if i can change the size of the car but changing the value of 3dcaremin etc ... does change but the cursour not the size of the car.
2nd thing is the problem with the warnings. It seems when i change the warning settings in the igo programm with dimka's skin they dont do anything. I wanted to disable that horrible sound when u r overspeeding but it didnt work. My question tho is maybe this isnt appropriate thread but somehow connected maybe with the skin. Can i disable that sound or change it in the sys.txt. Does any1 have got a explanation of the [warning] commands of sys.txt.

Another question i have is about the zooming presets or whatever they are called. They show up at the bottom of the screen ( 4 of them like a squares) in 2D and 3D. My question is also about sys.txt tho, how can i change the zooming of these presets in 2D especially as 3D by default seems to be allright. So when u press the 1st one in 2D display u get a very close view but when hitting the 2nd one it gets u up and this is what i wanted to change. And last but not least. Is the a command in sys.txt that when im in 3D and i choose the 1st preset from right which is setting the height angle so u can see in a real 3D mode then when i go to menu for example and go back to the navigation screen it changes the view so its no longer fully 3D. Everytime u exit the menu it changes the view to some default one. Is there an entry for that in sys.txt and if so how is it called?
Thanks in advance for help

Hmm... I am not sure about the warnings. I actually still use the 1.19 skin with the latest version because I kept the data.zip from 8.3.2. So I know you can disable the warnings in that skin (at least for speeding). As for the cars... the size seems to be controlled with these lines:

[map]
3d_scale_carmodel=1
3dcarsizemin=1250
3dcarsizemax=2500
3dcarsizemul=7500

in the sys/txt. Making the values smaller might make the card smaller. I used the default values that is in the 3Dcars download.... in one of the readme's. I was actually thinking the cars looked way to small with the 1.27b skin... much smaller than the car looked in the 1.19 version. As for everything else, I am not really sure.

[redbullssg]

I am having a little problem. I have been trying to use the DimkaSpecter 1.1.2.5_HD skin for my 800x480 Vatop GPS. I really like the full display, but the problem I am facing is when I use TTS with this skin, it gets flaky at times and the voice will pause and hesitate, then sometimes give me an out of memory error. It didn't seem to do this at first. I am not sure what I did to cause it to do this. When I switch back to the default skin, with TTS, it runs flawless, and I can even have my MP3 player running in the background.... I have as much ram allocated as possible. ANyone have a clue to what I could have changed to make it act this way?

Hmm i think its opposite with the cars and i did try to change these values that u posted but u change the cursor size not the car size. In dimka 1.19 the car looks way smaller than in 1.27 and i didnt change any values in sys.txt while changing from 1.19 to 1.27b.
About the warnings ive tried to disable the warnings in 1.19 in the settins>warning>speedcam settings and it didnt work and same is in 1.27b so the only way to disable them is in the sys.txt but i dont know which commands do i have to add to the sys.txt to disable the overspeeding sound and adjust the beeping sound if possible ?
What about the presets do u know which commands in sys.txt change the zooming presets ???

A little more clarification please. Are the TomSoft skins for TOMTOM? I have an 800x480 display, which ones are for 800x480 iGo? Is TomSoft HD? I have a dimkaSecter skin at the moment that I love!!!! Upgrades are always welcome!

All of the skins in the post are for iGO 8.3.x. They are all variations on the original diMka skin with some feature/visual differences.

I am getting this FFUI error:

Unknow object identifier = [vOnBattery]
Script "sc_loading_finished" command 5

Any idea why and how to fix it? I have a 4.3" 480x272 gps running wince 5.0 and have no problem with v1.1.27 skin. I tried all 3 new skins and all had that error.

So I downloaded the TomSoft HD for 800x480, and put it in my StorageCard\IGO8\Content\Skin folder. Started iGo and went to skins in the menu and it doesn't show up. I double checked to make sure that I actually did put it there and it is with my other DimkaSpecter skin.

I read the read me, and it said that the skin doesn't have an 800x480 folder in the zip file. So, how would that work? I first did the SYS.txt changes that it requested, but then since you can't start it up in that skin, I mean, you have to switch first, all I could see was the FIND button, which took up the whole screen. That was when I switched the SYS.txt file back to what I had and went to start iGo and switch the skin first to go back and make the changes, and found that it doesn't even show up in the skin selection menu. What could be wrong?

I'm betting you're using 8.3.4 with the _da data.zip. In which case you need to open the zip file and rename ui_igo8 to ui_igo8_da zip it back up again and the error should go away.
