Unofficial MapThis!! (gracefully finished)

[atari800]

This is the unofficial Map This!
Deniska, In7ane, MIB.42 (and maybe others) are the REAL brilliant wizards behind this. There is mind-boggling math in this to interpret coordinates, speed of map movements based on zoom factors, how to rotate a map and point up based on direction you are travelling...blah blah blah
There is no way I could ever come close to trying to develope any of that.
I just added some little features - I am not a C programmer - I got TONS of help from google and the code they provided.

But if you see any of them on the boards - tell them how cool of a program this is and thank them for there pain-staking efforts to create such a project.

Unofficial mapThis!!
It was brought to my attention that this UNOFFICIAL release of mapthis may cause difficulties in the development of the OFFICIAL version
If everybody starts releasing code, it will end-up with lots of independent releases and forks.
Deniska and the crew have been working for a while now and have a routine. Someone submits changes of the code to Deniska, with desciptions and marking of what changes have been done. Deniska checks it out and integrates it if possible or whatever he sees fit. It is his project. And a very cool project at that.

Releasing lots of small independent increments will lead to feature losses due to lack of integration.

So I am removing my versions to keep the REAL MAPTHIS from slowing down development-wise.

I was not asked to remove this - I think it is best for the project if I do.

These guys are great. I will make contributions to Mapthis in the proper way.

*maybe you will see some of my features in upcoming versions

Cheers

FYI:
This is working with GPS-290 (dont have anything else to test)
3.40 oe

*I placed this in /psp/game340/mapViewer directory
*provide your own maps

awesome ill move this to the PSP News forum

[DarthPaul]

Wow that's very nice!

[F9zDark]

Nice, so I am assuming we now have on the fly directions, rather than having to compile them before hand? I hope so

[atari800]

no - just some simple sounds - no advanced "get me out of here" capabilities

Just what is above is all I added

Great job man!
I just tested this and it is working on my 3.10 OE-A PSP.
I like how it automatically adjusts the cpu speed. I don't personally need/want it to do so (due to my home made extension cable) but it will benefit most other PSP-290 users.

Which .prx files are bundled with it?

[Cloudhunter]

I'm curious. Why didn't you just give Deniska to add this code to his? It would benefit everyone in the long run.

For programs that are still in active development, there isn't much point in "unofficial" versions.

@An0nJ0hn
Thanks for the compliment!
I dont know what version they are - I tried using a hex editor to view within the files to see if it had a signature - but nothing.
It works for me.
How that rainy weather with new new cable working for ya?
Here by disney is sprinkling and cloudy- but got locked on in 43 seconds!!!

I added code for speaking in "map up" position - I need to drive around and test it.

@Cloudy
I just put this together in 24 hours
Took me a week to get the Cygwin and pspdev kit and psptoolchain setup
*Look for my request in Deniska's forum

Once I got it set up and could compile old version - I compiled latest version

Then I started to study what I could from the code
Then added a little bit of stuff - compiled with errors (tons of them)
Clean up -compiled again
Then I made a million trips going in and out of the house to test
Then trying to figure out where the code was that drew that bottom panel with directions
Then figure out how to play mp3
Then more testing
Then figuring out how to search for words in strings
Then how not to make them repeat 50,000 time when you are near a point
Then.........

I needed beer and smokes

Plus I dont know how to get in touch with them - nor is my coding skills clean
*thats why I put in that comment :
There are probably bugs all over this - "if you dont like it - dont use it"
or better yet "you got what you paid for"

I dont want to get what I did mixed up for their version....mine is just a good attempt
(I am not part of that brotherhood)
