z25 or earlier??
I get version mismatch on z28

The messagebox also says v0.1y (maybe the program version though?)

Hey Guys

Just wondering if anyone would render my skin for me
Maybe not a great skin but its my first real attempt at skinning (Since I got S2)

Thanks!

Because of a 'Type Disable' feature I had added (and forgot to make optional)
It will disable the alarm when you press 't' then enable again (if it was enabled when t was pressed) when enter is pressed

It will be optional, and working better for my next update

-David

Yeh I need to sort out the 1st post

Updated to 1.4.2: Felt there were no more updates and decided to update earlier


Added In 1.4.2:
Variable Activation Speed: Now you can choose what speed the Alarm will activate at... Ranges from 0.1 MPH -- 5 MPH (0.1 increments)
Fized Automatic Disable Timer: No longer 'tries' to disable the alarm when its not been enabled

Download on 1st post

Wouldn't it just be + and - to the Red & Black wires?

Quote from Naruto06 :

Automatic Disable Timer: I have added an optional feature to automatically Disable your alarm after it has been going off for a set amount of time... Adjustable from 1 Minute to 10 Minutes


I found a bug with this... while im cruising every X min. it will just say that ive disabled my alarm without me even turning it on.

I can see from the code why It doesn't check if the alarm has been activated before switching off

Quote from m4ccy :

When i am parked and spectating people my alarm will go off if my wheel is turning left and right, as in using spectator cam, can we make the minimum speed that the alarm goes off, optional?

Or perhaps set the trigger speed to 1 or 2 mph?

Already added, Just waiting on some suggestion before next update
The activation speed is 0.25 MPH... That works great until you get some lag and InSim reports an odd speed and sets the alarm off
Added another slider for Activation Speed

Quote from Fire_optikz001 :

fail

We all make mistakes :chair:
Are you happy now that I fixed it

You could create a very simple insim app which spectates any player who tries to join the track

Also it could be possible to restrict certain users from joining...
Like certain groups for group/team race or qualifying

-David

See download on 1st post

Added Chat Stop Feature:
T = Disable (to chat )
Enter = Enable (sent chat )

Pressing 't' while alarm is set (but not going) will stop the pressing keys untill you press 'Enter'
Pressing 't' while the alarm is going off, will stop the alarm and then continue when you press 'Enter'

Thanks!
Yea unfortunatly because of the way the program works you need to have LFS on the top, may it be fullscreen or windowed...
In V1.4 I added a feature to stop the key sending if LFS is not the top window.. It just messes thing up if the alarm is activated and LFS is not the top window


UPDATE: V1.4.1 Now on the 1st post!!
Customizable Activation Keys!!: Now you can change what keys you use to activate
You can choose between CTRL + ALT + A-Z or CTRL + A-Z or ALT + A-Z

haha, yeh I didnt have time to fully update the 1st post
Today when I update for 1.4 (again) with the changing activation keys, I'll most likely rewrite the 1st post as I think V1.4 will be for sometime, Unless I get some suggestions for it

-David

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

That pic of Terep 2 reminds me of.. Big Red Racing (it was awesome ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Red_Racing

I used to play that all the time when I visited my grandparents, Now that was many years ago

Is that a suggestion?? Or are you asking if I have changed it??

From what I believe its a suggestion
To be honest I havent actually thought about adding the activation key even thought it would be pretty obvious
I'll make a small update tomorrow that lets you change the activation keys

-David

Hey Guys!

I know V1.3 was only released yesterday but I only released it because I though I had no time to work on this for some days...
My plans for the next few days was changed and now I have some spare time I thought I'd add the features you guys asked for

As you can already see by the preview image ^above^.. I have totally redone the Inteface for this... Makes it look much better and IMO its easier to see what does what etc

Added In 1.4:
Fixed Speed Bug: You can now set your alarm and spec some other players without your alarm going off
More Realistic: As suggested by a few people, To make the program do 1 beep to activate.. And 2 beeps to Deactivate
Custom Messages: You can no use your own Enable/Disable messages
Automatic Disable Timer: I have added an optional feature to automatically Disable your alarm after it has been going off for a set amount of time... Adjustable from 1 Minute to 10 Minutes

ToDo:
Nothing
Post your suggestions for other additions

Download HERE or on 1st Post!!

I would say that could be possible to add
I'll be doing some programming later on this and hopefully add all the current suggestions for either a 1.3.x or update to 1.4.. but since 1.3 was only released yesterday it might be early to go 1.4

-David

Quote from thezero :

Please, if you are going to implent this, make it optional. I have this application to see if someone hit me (light nudges, etc.) when i go AFK for a few minutes, for example. So, if it will be turning off by itself, there wont be point for me anymore.

Everything I add will be optional On/Off
I know that not everyone wants the same.. I think for the automatic timer I'll add another slider or somesort of multichoice control with ranges say from 1 Minute to 10 Minutes and then a value for Unlimited

Added to the ToDo List: Both suggestions have been mentioned to me before but I just forgot about them... So I created a ToDo list on the 1st post so when a suggestion is made I can add it to the list so I wont forget

Current To Do List: (BLUE = Fixed/Added || RED = Still to be done )
Fix Speed Bug: Speed used to set of the alarm is the current viewed driver's speed... So if you park up, set your alarm and then spectate another driver your alarm will start to go off
Make More Realistic: Alarm Sound- 1 beep on, 2 beep off
Automatic Disable Timer: Disable the alarm after a set amount of time (wont go on forever)
Custom /me Messages: Make your own /me messages when Enabling/Disabling the alarm





EDIT:
Major Bug Fix Coming Soon!!
Fix Speed Bug: I have managed to fix this bug and will be adding the above features tomorrow afternoon (its 3am, by the time I wake up it'll be noon :tilt

Thanks for all the support and just simply liking this addon
-David

Hey, Any chance you could update this to VB.NET 2008 ??
I could do it easily but I don't have VB6

Thanks if you do!
-David

Well it cant because its used to set off the alarm when your car is moved.. But because of the way I have programmed it it shows the speed for which ever driver you are watching... (Yea I was lazy on doing it )

Once I re-program the speed calculation from InSim, It will no longer go off if you watch another player

Thanks,
-David

I would have eventually re-wrote most of it because I can see the way that I have written it is more sloppy than usual
And most likely why there is so much stalling problems

But I released the code because I don't really have time to make it any better, stop the stalling etc...
reducing/removing the redundant code is a pretty simple process but I don't have the time nor patience just now to do it

-David

Quote from Sampsami :

Read & Downloaded... What to do with the double thing?

Honestly, No idea.... Because there is nothing to do with Doubles in the program




Added:
InSim Connected Status:To see if InSim had connected properly or not...
Handbrake Key: Space
Alternate Lights: Flash your lights and indicators (turn signals/blinkers) alternativley!
Changable InSim Port: Just incase you need to use a different port

Nothing

Quote from DavidTiger :

Yea, but I searched the whole code and posted the image of it saying its not found

Ok, I have attached another version V1.21 to this post... ^^
I have changed the Single variable to an Integer...

Now there are NO SINGLE or DOUBLE variables in the program...

Read + Download

Taking into concideration the last line of the quote...

A car alarm specific error? or something that happens all the time?

Describe / Screenshot the error.. I maybe could help

Quote from Zonda :

OK. Without problem. Now works very good in others
And now...
My lighst suggestion :P and ... Can you add spacebar in A-Z section in Handbrake ? Some people use spacebar as a handbrake

Sure
Also adding the alternate light suggestion you mentioned

Quote from Canopus (ARG) :

mmm i installed 1.21 and it isnt working, it says that alarm was activated but when i get rammed nothing happens, also when i try to exit it says "denied access to C:\Program Files (x86)\LFS\settings.ini

make sure the settings.ini isnt somehow readonly or the folder that it is in isnt read only..
Also some people have had success by deleting (keep a backup copy :shy the LFS cfg.txt and the Alarm started working properly

Also make sure you have selected your Horn key correctly

Quote from sevenforums.com :

SUCCESSORY!

Well I finally have it working, and for posperity I'm going to post the steps here, because thread is one of the most popular hits when you type "XBCD Windows 7" on google, and given the views I suspect a few ppl are going through what I went though, so here is how I did it:

Install Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider 1.3b, choose "Test Mode" and reboot.

Install the 0.2.6 drivers from XBCD - XBox Controller Driver ... gt; Latest 0.2.6 Version

Run the driver installer as Administrator, installing only drivers. Dont bother installing the certificate. Reboot.

Run DSEO again, hit Sign System File, then type "C:\windows\system32\drivers\xbcd.sys". Reboot again.

Open Device Manager, look for "Microsoft Common Controller For Windows Class", and goto properties for "Xbox 360 Controller".

Goto Driver tab, and click "Update Driver". Click on "Browse my Computer for Driver software".

Click on "Let me Choose" and you should see XBCD driver. Click it, hit ok and that should do the trick.

Open the XBCD Setup Util, and you should see the gamepad listed. The buttons go crazy, but this is a fault of the setup util, always has been. 0.2.6 even has built in profiles for different mappings, the one I use is triggers on seperate axis. I tested this out on rFactor and it works great, rumble support and all.

Hopes this helps anyone else having this problem!

Maybe that would help
