Sticky?

OK guys, this thread is because others have asked for it. Lets post pictures that we have used in hacking our Navi's

Edit mod vp911:
Thank you to jmbnova and datmrman!

Edit by datmrman [Aug 8, 2006]:
I performed some maintenance on this thread by deleting comments and posts of expired images. Some members will notice that their post count decreased. Sorry! If you find your uploaded image missing, please re-upload them since your image server has deleted them. Imageshack.us seems to keep images longer than photobucket and others.

Instructions on how to post pictures are here.

To use the images found in this thread, you must perform the navi hack outlined in this thread:
Hack Your Navi Summarized! (Change pics and remove nag screen).

Please post any questions regarding the hack in the above thread. I will try to maintain this thread on a regular basis so please follow the rules.

Click on the thumbnail to open full size PNG. You will then need to convert it to BMP to use in the navi hack.

*shows on screen without the "special-ed" on it* Once I get a cleaner pic of my car, I'll change it to reflect my actual car.

As a fellow WDP owner and inspired by the Acura website, I created this one to honor Lokius' awesome ride.

StuartMMVITL · 03-04-2006, 2:15 AM

Just started messin' around with photoshop and a few pics I had handy. Also working on removing/changing the text of the nag screen to something a bit more interesting. No luck as of yet...

From the BEST car show on TV, if you've seen it, you know what I mean!

Pikes Peak at sunset

Mt Rushmore

My friend at work is a Photoshop GOD and I'm trying to get him to come with some really cool abstract designs. He's way better than I am artistically.

Actuary · 03-05-2006, 2:10 PM

I belive you can save as "BMP" just read the menu carefully

**datmrman** · 03-07-2006, 10:33 PM

Some new navi screens! Special thanks goes out to RJANACONDA for sending me the original images and vp911 for providing the webspace. I couldn't decide where to crop the images so there are a few versions of a single image. I went Photochop crazy.

Enjoy!

Actuary · 04-03-2006, 6:22 PM

Arrow 1

Arrow 2

Listening

Fingerprint

Commute

All images 25% compressed for proper viewing on actual Navi screen.
Save as BMP instead of PNG when prompted

seamonkey420 · 04-22-2006, 4:25 PM

my first welcome screen, a clean Civic Si logo..

Perhaps you could add a nice "Hello Christopher" as well. That would be awesome!

I can hex edit, but have no photoshop...

**datmrman** · 05-13-2006, 4:59 AM

Sorry for the long delay, but as promised, some anime splash screens. I created them from some pics I've found online.

Enjoy!

Kennedy · 05-15-2006, 5:59 PM

Thanks Peterbanks... That was the trick!

For reference, if your modded splash screens are taking a long time to load (3-5 seconds), reduce the picture to 475x232 pixels (also ensure your in 8 bit color of course), and your picture will load within 1 second of the key being turned...

xtin · 05-15-2006, 11:27 PM

I took this pic. Can someone come up with something nice for a startup image using this?

Boot process stock:
- turn on car and stock warning screen appears
- 15 seconds later, 'ok' appears to proceed to the main screen

Boot process now:
- turn on car and navi stays black for about 5 seconds
- then the new image appears for about 3 to 5 seconds
- navigation the goes black again for 5 to 10 seconds
- finally the ok button appears to move to the main screen

Does anyone know how to extend the timing on the image to eliminate the black screens?

Thanks!

Your picture is a little too big. I experienced the same thing. Try reducing your picture size to 232 x478 pixels.

as well as try to use fresh BIN file

that may be tough as the image must be pretty small, and MUST be below 113,000 file size and less than 256 colors....

I combined one of the earlier pictures with one of my own.....i like the classy look of black and white, but maybe ill do it in color just so there's something nice to look at.

untamed · 07-18-2006, 12:33 AM

Can somoeone edit this for me to fit the specified size? Thanks?

Help please?

the PSDs attached are still pure photoshop files, so make sure you do the following:

Quote:

# If using Photoshop, one way to meet the pictures specs is to convert the picture from RGB to Indexed (Image > Mode > Indexed Color). Once inside the indexed color dialog box, chose Local (Perceptual) from the Palette drop down menu. Then input 173 in the Colors field. This will alter your colors in your image because you are limiting the palette, so you might have to make some sacrifices or changes to the image. Then save as bitmap, 8 bit. Another way is to crop the image on the sides a bit.
# DO NOT use Bitmap compression (RLE)

http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showt...=129765&page=1

After that, you should be set.
