Thread: Help with NON TTS Nextgen speedcams audio (WECv7)

NG Version is 9.18.23.568625

No added skin. The software is stock what came with the vehicle. Here's a screenshot of a couple of the folders.

You changed speedcam.zip. What's wrong with ORG? When I say "skin" I mean anything that makes up one, including any UX's. You don't need to use a fully packed UX's for a skin to use a new "skin."

ORG's are just a copies of the original files. ie:backup I tried adding the WAV files to speedcam.zip but that did not help.

Also if you're not using TTS, shouldn't
is_spoken=0

Finally, most of these settings are for a particular skin you're using and irrelevant if you're not using that skin.

Yes, file names are correct. As for is_spoken, I thought 1=sound/speech and 0=beeps. Am I wrong?

If speedcam.zip doesn't support audio, then you can't use it. I do not know if your original speedcam.zip does or not. Few skin add this capability, so you might have to look for a NextGen skin for WinCE that support audio for speedcam or add codes to do it yourself.
BTW, you do not need to add any new audio .wav to speedcam.zip unless there are codes requiring it. If the support of it is already there, then using any .wav under data.zip\ui_nextgen\audio would work.

As I understood it, originally speedcam was just tone (using builtin .wav) Then modder added TTS via skin. So the ability to play audio for speedcam via .wav was already there. It's just allowing the configuration of it. The settings is_spoken could be one of those created by a skin to allow the use of TTS or not TTS. So "beep" is not TTS (which includes audio) The rest of the settings under [speedcam_category:1] are skin related. That is why there is one to specified the audio file to played such as:
activated_spoken_type=sound
activated_sound="!alert2"

Are you saying the WAV files should go into the ui_nextgen\audio folder within data.zip to work? As I've placed them [root folder]\ui_nextgen\audio

Also, OS is Windows Embedded Compact Version 7. Don't know if that makes a difference.

BTW, Thanks for all you help.

In fact, it's most important. Apart from that which this is not android story.
Windows Embedded Compact Version 7 is not a WinCE7 (which does not exist, btw). It's much more similar to the classic Win7 then to WinCE.
It is very little is widespread, mostly in factory systems, I could not find almost any of the software for it. It should do everything from software that is written for WinCE, but feedback is just the opposite.

@gregeeh, what is device you are using, NG is original or from this or other forums?
Judging by the pictures it should be from the Hyundai, but there's some modification, I suppose you've changed some of the ux's.

Not directly related to the story, but...
There was a couple of attempts to run another iGO on Hyundai HU's, none succeeded. Maybe you can try with "Toyota NG" version.

Yes, the vehicle is an Hyundai and this version is the original that came with the vehicle. I have tried to put other NG versions on it but without success as the NG EXE seems to be a custom one and if you replace it, even if the name is the same, the program fails to start. Hence I'm stuck with what I have and I'm trying to mod it to get NON TTS Speedcam voices instead of just beeps for all the Speedcam categories.

UX's are also the originals. I just tried to change them to get the NON TTS Speedcam to work, but that failed too. They are now back to stock.

Not at all. I said proggy will look for it under data.zip\ui_nextgen\audio assuming that no other UX's override it. No need to put it under ..\ui_nextgen\audio directory if what you want is already under data.zip\ui_nextgen\audio such as !alert2.wav Actually, it's safer to use .wav under data.zip\ui_nextgen\audio unless you want new one or override the original.

You're running WinCE 7, but it's irrelevant. What's important is does your speedcam.zip (or any UX's you are using) support the use of audio .wav?

For starter, look at the codes of speedcam.zip. If you don't see any, doesn't mean it doesn't support it. It might be from another .zip or part of proggy. If you want to take easy way, look at code fo skins that support it and see what's needed.

So you tested my suggestion and it still doesn't work? For triggering of speedcam alerts, you have to drive and not simulate.
