[3.6.0] Mobile Route Advisor (Telemetry Web Server Skin)

[dave_th]

Thank you for updating the map. When I loaded the latest version my current location no longer shows [blue triangle]. The map its self is working fine, it pans and rotates just like it should. Is there a variable that needs to be set some place?

[mkoch227]

I removed the blue arrow from the map as the latest version does not match up perfectly, so the arrow wouldn't be on the actual road.

I'm no longer updating the map, so I don't anticipate this being changed at any point in the near future.

i have done as discribed but it get the message: failed to load dashboard.html for skin: ets2-mobile-route-advisor i have put the whole file under skins as you say on page one fixed, spelling mistake missed ets2 in text

okay why disable the arrow showing where i are on map? this telemetry is pretty much useless without the gps, please add again or tell how?

@Bocaj Why it was removed? Have you looked at the post above you?

Just fork the project, capture a new map, slice it and figure out the coordinate scale and offset.
All explained here: https://github.com/Koenvh1/ETS2-City-Co ... %20maps.md
It'll probably take a few hours though.

I stopped doing it, because it is a lot of work. If you want to pick it up, by all means, go for it.

I saw the following project mentioned in one of your tickets, and would just like to raise awareness for anyone interested in having a go.
https://github.com/dariowouters/ets2-map
It directly parses the game files in order to generate a map, which seems much better than the screenshot approach. There are a few issues so far, such as prefabs missing. I don't know the first thing about how ETS map data is structured, unfortunately. Also don't know how difficult it would be to incorporate the output into this project.

[Koen]

Everything that is an image can be incorporated into this project. (I wouldn't say "easily", but it is doable). Thing is, that method was worked on quite some time ago by (the very talented, I must say) nlhans (https://github.com/nlhans/ets2-map).
However, support for prefabs is difficult, especially since every map mod/DLC tends to add new ones. That method certainly has potential, though it would require quite some programming knowledge/experience.

This was something Koen, myself, and one other looked at a while ago; however, as Koen pointed out, several prefabs don't work, plus we still have to go through the work of slicing and dicing the map into tiles.... so the only thing we gain is not having to capture the map in-game. If SCS could somehow include the map in the telemetry API (just an image of the GPS screen would be sufficient), that would be awesome as we would no longer have to capture maps, and all maps would work (I know mods can somehow have the map displayed, but I don't know how that works)

hey guys, first of all thanks for your work!

is it possible to update the map to the newest ProMods one? that would be awesome.

[Koen]

@δє_θєη Yes it is possible. Here's the map for ProMods 2.2, you just need to slice it and figure out the coordinate offsets.
Just look at https://github.com/denilsonsa/ets2-stuff and/or https://github.com/Koenvh1/ETS2-City-Co ... %20maps.md to find out how to do that

I know you already plan not to support the map feature in the future, but I just read this in the ATS beta update notes:

Ability to control UI map alignment behavior (i.e. rotation to keep north up) using a g_ui_map_align cvar

Wonder if that would fix the ATS map capturing.
