yeah Diesel, I've got your back... try and hit me up Tuesday night and I'll have some time to package them for you.


Tao: I'm sorry homie! Hope the surgeries are all successful and you get back to feeling 100% soon.

We haven't heard from Tao in a while on the GPS, and I'm hoping that I haven't chased him away with all my graphic updates. I have no idea how to manipulate the maps, but I am a graphic designer so I tried to straighten out a few things that bugged me. I hope Tao comes back and helps us get the maps...

Alright, I gave up on all the transitions and effects I was using to make the startup video and just went with the meat and potatoes:

replace the wmv file of the same name in your unit's /Program Files/System/ directory.

enjoy!

Okay people, please don't pepper me with PMs and Emails asking me a bunch of questions that have all been covered already in this thread. Read the WHOLE THREAD and please address questions to Taoworm IN THIS THREAD. I am just re-hosting.

Thanks.

go back in the thread, I'm sure I covered that. It should also be in the 4.1 zip.

Hi All I'm doing a little knight rider project on my car (finally caught the bug!), and am looking for audio files of any sound effect/KI2T dialogue, music (any knight rider series)...anything at all, short tracks, long tracks - if anyone has any knight rider audio files they don't mind sharing, i'...

I'm toying around with combinations of frames per second and bit rate and I'm pretty close. Trust me, it's worth perfecting. I think you'll approve.

the Mio animation must be part of the BIOS boot, so I don't think we can get at that. I have been trying to create a new .WMV file in the exact screen dimensions. I'm hitting a wall though because even though everything plays perfectly on my laptop, when I transfer it over to the mio, it gets all ch...

I wonder if we can replace the still frame image with an animated one for the voice box splash I looked into that actually. There is such a thing as an animated .png, but only the newest browsers (firefox 3.0, Opera 9.5) support it, and I'm still using Photoshop 7.0, which only saves animations as ...

... the graphics I posted earlier in this thread. Also a few other little things like the "thinking" circle being replaced by KITT's scanner, and a leveling out of the volume on some of the key tones as they were a little jarring in Tao's 4.0 version (like commercials interrupting a quiet ...

PMs sent!

I'm on it. Remember: Tao is working on the maps as they didn't seem to work for everyone.

I have made a new archive called version 4.1 with my graphics updates and I am PM'ing those interested with a link to download.

Happy 2010, KRO!

Just waiting on those voice guidance files that Mio's update deleted, and I'm good to go. ;) After the 3rd day I will post the replacement KITT voice file for you on mydrive. Hey Tao, I don't know why this didn't work the 100 times I did it before, but I just got KITT's voice guidance files back on...

I also discovered that while KITT is playing back "name" and "intro", the file that is being displayed is "splash.png" so I created a new splash.png from a cleaned up version of the voice box I found searching for double-din wallpaper. I'll make it available to KRO peop...

Platformshag, Try reloading the original mapshigh.xml and rename all the files back to 80 or Reload the original mapshigh.xml and edit the xml to end with 83 instead of 80. Let me know if that works for ya! :good: Tried it both ways, and I'm still getting "Some Maps Failed To Load Correctly&qu...

Hey Tao, I used the maps from Maps.rar because I'm in Canada and made sure to copy the new Canada map first. The only two I could not fit on were: US96R083.map and US97R083.map because the difference from 80 to 83 was so big. I opted to just rename the existing 80 files to 83 so they would load with...

I didn't update the mod's maps since I'm in Canada and you said it wouldn't work here... but I noticed when I tried to unrar the Maps.rar file, it was corrupt. I tried re-downloading it and it only got 370 MBS of the 707 it's listed at on myDrive. It's probably because so many folks are trying to d...

I also noticed that the background_legalscreen.png has a black text box, which makes the legal text black on black and illegible. I just replaced it with the original from my backup.

Hey Tao, no intent to offend, but I fixed up the maploading.png file for a couple reasons. 1) it was off centered and 2) the map loading progress bar was overlayed on your text. Anyone who would prefer to use my version, I have put it on my server here: http://www.sweetbackgroove.com/maploading.png&...

taoworm, Thanks for the message. I can't seem to figure out how to get to your content. myDrive is only allowing me to view and access my own content as NJLion82. Haven't figured out how to get to yours. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong here, it's all new to me. Also, I'm flying to Orlando m...

Further to my above message, I wanted to add that I have found the KITT_USA folder in my Program Files/MioMore Desktop folder and run the KITT_USA settings to restore MOST of what I lost. The greeting is there and all the names are there, but I still can't find the KITT voice data for GPS voice guid...

Hey taoworm, I wish I had found your forum BEFORE I bought the Mio KR GPS. They should really just have a big sticker on the box when you buy it that says "Don't Update from Mio!" because now I have lost the KITT voice entirely. What's the point of having the Knight Rider GPS without Willi...
