Facelift - it looks better in life, and the front of the mini is actually at the turning as you reach it rather than way off like before with the arrow. Last edited by M1TCH; 09-20-2006 at 05:57 PM. |

Sweet! Thanks for the info. I think I have it all figured out now.
BTW, I've just about completed a set of all the rotated images of the MINI (all 23 of them!). I went ahead and used your image as the starting point since my MINI is also blue (Hyper blue actually). I'm only going to bother with the 2D vehicle icon at the moment and just leve the 3D perspective one as it is. Thanks again for your help. -- MIKE |

Hmm... I can't seem to make it work. I took the latest v28 image, extracted out the navboot file from the 0101\BMWC01S\app_sw folder, modified it using NavTweak v2.2, and then burned the modified image file back to disc using UltraISO. When I put the CD into the nav computer it simply tells me that an incorrect CD/DVD is inserted and spits it back out. I've tried a couple of different variations, but they all do the same thing.
I modified the navboot file with a better looking sky image, new POIs, and the MINI vehicle icons (all taken from this thread). The mods to the navboot file all look fine to me. Is there something else that I need to do to the navboot file to make it work properly (like set the date/time stamp, etc.)? Or, perhaps this is simply a problem with the v28 disk image I have. Maybe I'll try the v27.1 image instead (since I'm currently only running v27). Weird... |

Tried v27.1 with just the modified vehicle icons, but I still get the same incorrect CD/DVD inserted error message when I try to update the nav computer. Thus, I'm stumped.
The only ideas I have left are: 1) Changing the CD-R type (I'm using Memorex and buring them at the lowest speed setting). 2) Something's wrong with NavTweak 2.2 program. Maybe I'll try going back to version 1 and see what happens. 3) Something's wrong with the vehicle icon graphics. I'm using Windows paint to save them as PNG files. However, I don't know if they're in a "PNG-24" format or not??? Also, I have the background color set to plain white (255, 255, 255). Is that the color it needs to be for the transparency? Other than that, I just dunno. Any help would be appreciated. |

I had the same problem. Changed the CD-R and everything was fine.
Btw: Transparency is defined by a mask, not color. |

Sorry I've missed something when trying to remember how I did it.
I used IconWorkshop to make the background transparent then click file > export > PNG with Transparency. as for the problems with the cd software actually loading I'm confused too, posibly the cdr as everything youve said you have done is correct. |

i don't understand your question... you draw something and lay a mask on it which is transparency somewhere.
1.) the image 2.) the mask - white means transparency (not masked), black not (masked). gray is somewhere between. 3.) the mask on the image. the mask is colored red instead of black and white now. parts which are masked appear red. where the mask is transparent, the image below appear in normal colors. in the shadow you can see, a little bit from the black background appear. because the mask is gray there (pic 2) 4.) png image combined with mask in front of a white background. in the nav system, the image is shown in front of the map of course. hope you asked something like this... |

I didnt really understand that either. dont worry. I wondered if there was a tool on photoshop to create transparency instead of having to use IconWorkshop to make the icon.
