Audio files in nextgen

**kikiupload** · 29th May 2020, 09:58 PM

Thanks for clarifying some things.
I know that my method was not the right way, but it was the only way to make it work with my knowledge, it was fast shortcut

So, now I have some start point, where I can try figure out how this stuff works.

Well, you see, first I tried with that nens complete speedcam.zip and it worked with my no skin/Arimi Skin, just it was messy design.
And yes, after that as I said above I did tried replace only that plugin.ini, but it didn't work. So, I start copy file by file to see when it will trigger my .wav audio.

I agree with you, that others files will give me trouble if I replace them. But that means that or audio files are in wrong place or I need some additional code command to trigger .wav files, or both, because replace only plugin.ini didn't work for me.

As you said here:

I did not understand, in which exact folder I should insert .wav for Arimi Skin? Because I put them in ui_nextgen/audio/SC1063
Do not know where should be for Arimi skin.

My goal is to have speed camera warnings for fixed and mobile camera, for TTS version and nonTTS, and thats it.

- I have configured that for TTS version (Arimi skin)
- Nens helped with Pongo skin for NonTTS.
- And I have at the moment this "wrong way" NonTTS for Arimi skin.

Because I want to have regular NextGen version no skin and play .wav files for speedcam alerts I did a quick test.
I did all tips from above:
-create SC1063 folder with .wav files (ui_nextgen/audio/SC1063)
-copy that lines for speedcam warning in sys which @nens gave me
-and I copy that speedcam.zip file from nens too.

So, I didn't go with pongo skin this time, and .wav warnings files for speedcam worked, all OK. Just, it was messy design for speedcam because there was no pongo skin now.
My guess would be I need to configure something in original speedcam.zip then it will play .wav files.

First I compared plugin.ini. My original was empty, no any code, and nens plugin.ini is not empty. So I tried to use his plugin.ini, but no luck. It still doesn't play .wav files. It must be something else that triggers .wav files.
I'll keep trying

Where can I get .wav files in English please?

Here in first post you have some english speedcam audio warning. If you do not like that, then best way is to make them yourself. Depends what exactly you are looking for.

You should read a little more material on the forum

It can be in data.zip, skin.zip, gpsmore_gemeric.zip, some extra ux's, some branding.zip...there is everything here.

**kikiupload** · 31st May 2020, 05:20 PM

Come on, don't be like that, I'm already going crazy because of this

I've been trying to figure it out for hours. Yeah, I did read about that files you mentioned, I saw tutorials here, threads and all that.
Because I deleted everything in ux, icons still here, then I try deleted everything (all speedwarn) in data.zip icons are still there. It didn't make sense to me.

So, I tried one more time. All cleared, in ux folder and data.zip (speedwarn) in the same time now.

I finally figured it out!!
I guess it was using icons from two places, from ux folder and from data.zip. Or in this crazy time for me, I missed to delete some file in process

I deleted all speedwarn files in data.zip, and in ux folder it was in "gpsandmore_alert_points_israel".
Now I need a break, this was too much for me

You don't have to blindly obey what I tell you, however, it is right to have a critical sense and your own vision, but I had shown you one thing

in my opinion you should install Israel 9.18.27.687519, (the APK accommodated for VR and TMC), with the Pongo skin

for the simple reason that in the basic version many things are missing and most likely you will go in that direction.

There are many icons scattered between the data and various plugins in the ux folder, but in the basic version the icons that are considered are found in the file gpsandmore_alert_points_israel.zip, which eventually would have priority over those in speedcam.zip, (priority is given by the alphabetical order of the various zips). The data file comes last in order of consideration, so as you delete the icons, the program picks them up somewhere else.

Maybe you are able to edit the bmp icons that appear on the map:

gpsandmore ... / ui_nextgen / res / the_dark / hdpi, mdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi / speedwarn0.bmp and speedwarn1.bmp

but I doubt you can modify the svg icons that appear in the menus and the alert icons on the map that are in the nodpi folder........

And why would you think I blindly obey you?

I'm sure that you have test more then I, so that's why I'll first try your recommendations. And your recommedations are great, thank you for all reply, you are very helpful

Yes, you are right, many things are missing in basic version, I see that know after testing that Israel version with pongo skin. A lot of things are clearer now for me how all this works.

Visually, not big fan of that skin, but it is just a matter of personal taste, and you can change it by your desire.

Functionality, now that's my priority number 1.

iGO Israel with pongo skin, TTS working, NonTTS working too. Everything is great, just the way I wanted.
But, when I tried that Israel version, and delete all files in ux, the program worked extra fast, yeah it's looks teriable, but the speed, smoothness is amazing.
Then I tried with basic stuff that come with program in ux folder. Not extra fast, but fast, and it's OK.

But when I added just "the_skin_by_pongo.zip" from 3rd post here, it's not smooth and very fast like with basic. Don't get me wrong, it's OK, it is acceptable, but when you see and try that extra fast speed this is slow

And I did try latest pongo skin, just add latest "the_skin_by_pongo.zip", OMG that was unusable. It's was extra slow.
So, I need find best version for me. But that from 3rd post was OK.

You see, thats was my first idea, use just basic skin, and only add new speedcam.zip so I'll have more options for speedcam warnings. That's why I started playing "Frankenstein" to try modified just speedcam.zip so it can work with basic skin. And I'm sure it can be done, you just need a little work and edit all files.

Maybe you are able to edit the bmp icons that appear on the map. But I doubt you can modify the svg icons that appear in the menus and the alert icons on the map that are in the nodpi folder

I got what I wanted no worry, after I found out from where program using speedcam icons.

Sometimes when I use non-tts for speed cam warnings, something interrupt that audio warning, not always but sometimes yes. So, audio warning for speedcam starts and in some point something interrupts, and you can't hear rest of audio for speedcam.

My suspicion is that it is overspeed warning that interrupts speedcam warning.

I tried:
- disable audio warning in speed limit section, when speeding: Visual
- i set speed tolerance to max
- i delete that audio file for overspeed in voice.zip, and in data.zip. But then system start use some other audio file for overspeeding
- i put this code in sys as well:
[sound.announcer]
overspeedlimit=0
- i disable all road sings too

Could overspeed warning interrupts speedcam warning? Anybody had that kind issue, or it's something else?
