Audio files in nextgen

**kikiupload** · 28th May 2020, 10:49 AM

I just want to point out, even I set up, english language and voice in iGO regional settings, and put my .wav files in SC2057 folder as suggested, in my skin settings alert point settings speedcam voice was SC1063 and can't change that. So I created both folders, SC2057 and SC1063 and put .wav files inside. I realized later that it use files from SC1063, and I can select any language in regional settings.
Maybe someone will find that information useful.

Especially in the latest Pongo Skins the number of DA and SC folders does not depend on the language that is set in the Regional Settings but on the language set on the Device (Smartphone).

If I rename my folder from SC1040 to SC1050, the folder is not considered, in the Speedcam Voice section I see SC9999 and the Speedcam Test section is not enabled.

The Arimi Skin works in another way, however just look at the folder that is considered by the Software and insert the wav audio files into it.

I did not understand what system you used to be able to use audio files.

It does? Well, my system language on my smartphone is English, and why in Speedcam Voice section I see that SC1063 and can't be changed I do not know. So, I put my audio files in that folder and it works, don't ask me why, but it works

What system I use? I mentioned above, NG 9.18.27.736653 - 19.JUN.2018. (no skin) Android 7 on smartphone.

Well, my attempts paid off, it worked!!
So, without skin now it play .wav files!! Probably not the best way how I configure this, but hey, it's working.

So, I copy and this files from speedcam.zip that nens post here, to my original speedcam.zip and now without pongo skin it play .wav files.

This files I added to my speedcam.zip:
- plugin.ini (ux\speedcam\)
- speedcam.lua (ui_nextgen\common\ui)
- speedcam_obs.ui (ui_nextgen\common\ui)
- speedcam.ui (ui_nextgen\common\ui)
- speedcam_mods.ui (ui_nextgen\common\ui)

When I would dig dipper about this, I would probably find out what exactly trigger .wav files with no pongo skin, but all I care is to make this work, and now it's working

Good enough for me.

But if some expert guys wanna explain this, I'll make tips and steps how to do it for others in right way. Everything I figured out and tried I mentioned.

Until a few years ago it was customary to have the plugin.ini empty and to have the speedcam controls at the bottom of the sys.

and nens plugin.ini is not empty.

Because later the commands of the Speedcams have been transferred to the plugin.ini.

Well, my system language on my smartphone is English, and why in Speedcam Voice section I see that SC1063 and can't be changed

You are mixing things up , one is the Pongo Skin and what you call "no Skin" is nothing more than a minimalist Skin from Arimi, and they work differently.

This three files I added to my speedcam.zip:
- plugin.ini (ux/speedcam/plugin.ini)
- speedcam.lua (ui_nextgen\common\ui)
- speedcam_obs.ui (ui_nextgen\common\ui)

It was enough to replace only the plugin.ini, the other two files will only give you problems, they are configured for the Pongo Skin and you use them on the Arimi Skin.
Each Skinners recommends the use of their plugins only in their Skins.

You probably already have the commands for the Speedcam in the "no Skin" sys, so you have to decide whether to keep them there or delete them and keep only those in the plugin.ini ..... the sys has priority over everything, what is written in sys it overrides any command found elsewhere, Apk, data, branding, plugin into the ux folder.

But if some expert guys wanna explain this...

The experience is made a little reading, but above all by banging our head in the first person ......

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.

I am convinced of this, but you wrote:

I realized later that it use files from SC1063, and I can select any language in regional settings.

and then I told you to use what the software sees. Generally Arimi for Speedcam uses folders divided by Nations, (speedcam_de, speedcam_en, speedcam_it, etc.) which allows you to choose from the menu.
What folders do you have inside ui_nexttgen / audio in addition to the DA folders?
Try clicking several times in the Alert points / Speedcam voice: section to see if it shows you some other folder instead of the SC1063.

or I need some additional code command to trigger .wav files

The commands to activate the wav audio sounds / voices are those written in the sys or plugin.ini:

[speedcam_category:0]
activated_spoken_type=speech
activated_speech="Speed camera ahead."
approach_beep_distances=175 ;0=repeat constantly "Speed camera.", 150=original
approach_beep_spoken_type=speech
approach_beep_speech="Speed camera."
skin_first_sound="Fixed_Camera"
skin_speed_sound_delay=200
skin_repeat_sound="Fixed_Camera"
skin_repeat_distance=200 ;0=do not repeat "Fixed_Camera"
overspeed_spoken_type=speech
overspeed_speech="Reduce your speed."
overspeed_min_speech_repeat_delay=-1 ;-1=do not say "Reduce your speed.", 10=original
overspeed_min_tone_repeat_delay=-1 ;-1=do not repeat ding
min_frc=-1
use_road_speedlimit=0

The green part concerns the TTS Voices, the blue part concerns the non-TTS Voices, the red ones are the names of the audio files.

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

With the DA1040 and SC1040 folders with the indications in the plugin.ini for the wav audio files I have the TTS and not TTS warnings in Israel with the Pongo Skin, and with the DA1040 and speedcam_it folders I have the TTS and not TTS warnings on Pal-estine with the Arimi Skin ......

If you see the folders divided by country, that of Croatia does not exist, (speedcam_hr), you can try to create it and see if it allows you to choose it, otherwise use one of those that are there, put in your wav audio files and choose that.

It started to get a little bit confusing for me, let me summarize from the start.

1. If I use/replace things from 3rd post here:
- the_skin_by_pongo.zip
- speedcam.zip
- sys (code for [warning] and [speedcam_category:0])
- and I create SC1063 folder with my .wav and place that folder in:
iGO_World\ui_nextgen\audio\

Because my ui_nextgen is empty, there was nothing there. And I put in SC1063 because in alert settings I can see that line (SC1063), but I can't change it. And I can select any language and voice in regional settings, the only thing that matters is that .wav must be in that SC1063 folder.

Spoiler: Image

-> with that configuration everything is OK. My .wav is working!

2. If I do not copy the_skin_by_pongo.zip, and use that speedcam.zip, with SC1063 folder, and sys too
=> everything is working too. Just desing is messy because there is no pongo skin. But it's working.

3. If I use just that sys, without pongo skin and without speedcam.zip from 3rd post.
So just original speedcam.zip, and my no skin/armini skin, and I place .wav in same place as above. And I tried to put in SC2057, SC1050, SC1063, and just itself in audio folder, I tried to put .wav in speedcam.zip too.
=> .wav is not working, I get only beep sound warning.

Because you see, in armini skin I have only this options, it's not even close to that pongo settings.

Spoiler: Image

And that's what is confusing me, I do not know where exactly put .wav files for armini skin. And my ui_nextgen folder (iGO_World\ui_nextgen\) was empty there was nothing inside, until I start testing with audio folder and SC folders.
And that's why I started to replace some files from speedcam.zip (3rd post) to my original speedcam.zip, because that's only way I found out how to make it work with that armini skin, I know it's not right way.
So if you know in which exactly folder put my wav for armini skin, I'm all ears for testing.
