Dear Tiger, If I may ask, Can I add speed limiter into ATS's Dashboard? Is ID = 760 the ID of that? Much appreciate some tips on this, TIK.

Sincerely,

Hi Raymond,

Hoping that you're refeering to the red circle that shows the speed limit. There is no ID for this. I used a trick for this by adding a GPS over the dashboard and then crop it only to show the speed limit.

Hiya Tiger, Thank you for your response, By leaning your great work, I have added that speed limit into my WS49's Dashboard(ATS), It looks as below:

However, It seems that I could only change the color of gps.mat, whereas I'd like to change the color of speed text, Have tried many approaches but to no avail, so if I may ask you that's possible to do that? TIA.

Sincerely,

I think you can change that too. You must go in the ui\template and open the dashboard_text.<name of the truck>.txt. There you will find something like <color value=FF000000>. You can get the desired color by using a HEX generator .

Here is an example for speed limiter, just change the #FF000000 with a new color and then should work:

ui::text_template : txt.daf_2021.navi_speed {
name: "zDB Dashboard navigation speed limit"
text: "<img src=/material/ui/adviser/limit_sign.mat xscale=stretch yscale=stretch><ret><align hstyle=center vstyle=center><font face=/font/sign/de_n.font xscale=0.6 yscale=0.6><color value=FF000000>%0</font></align>"
}

Tell me if that works.

Thank you so much! Will give that a shot tonight, and of course I will definitely tell you no matter what happens there.

Hiya Tiger,

Sorry for the late reply, My logitech g29 shifter was broken, so spent quite a lot of time on those screws, Anyway, It's all fixed now.

In terms of Speed limit, I had no luck on it, At beginning, I tried your code and tips, since I have looked into your work before, got the limiter with "…speed.limit" (the one has gps.mat within), so this time I replace that part with the "…speed.limitl" as you suggested, But there was only the limit_sign.dds showed in the Dashboard, without the number. After that edited the template file, No luck.
I have checked your files compared with vanilla advisor.sii and text.sii (template) as well, They're identical there, to avoid conflict, I modified limit_sign.tobj and dds, still to no avail, I also replaced it with other ui::text parts inside of advisor.sii, Still.
i'm a Modeller of Simcity 4 but quite a newbie to this game, so as far as I can tell, It seems that this game has at least two sets of driving infos, Since I thought the id: 760 doesn't really work in Dashboard system, some other IDs as well, But they would work in advisor system just like some IDs work in Dashboard system, Dunno whether or not they're associated with keys in Truck's model.

Anyways, Actually I have got a pleasant result as below by a little tweak somewhere.

BTW, You're such a genius to create a gps.mat, I didn't find it out in game's structure, though I'm still a bit curious about how it performs a function there, hard coded? I don't know.

Thank you for your kind help again.

Yours,
-- Raymond

Hi Raymond.

All the credits regarding gps.mat goes to @piva. He's the genius. Maybe he can also help you with a suggestion on above request.

Thanks Tiger, Now I'm on the way to Tacoma with my favorite truck (modified engine,transmission,map theme,paint job and also Dashboard with your help) waiting for another genius when it's very convenient to him.
