Klutch ... what is noobs?

 

LOLLLL.....noob=newbie

 

Thank you - we learn something new everyday! Guess I'm the true "noob" here

 

hahah.....

 

I downloaded and followed all instructions to get Navi401OKa to work.

I have v3.30 and I keep hitting a wall here.

Why is there not a simple way to do the ok hack like changing the .bmp with dumpnavi. really simple there.

When I open the navi401oka, and run it, It says 'select a file to patch'. and whatever I put in, it says NAVI.EXE File Not Found. Please verify the correct file name was given.

What am I doing wrong???? Any help here/

I am using BN2HH12C.BIN (already modified with my new .bmp).

Please help... this is taking me a lot of hours and I know it should only be 15 minutes....

 

OK I NEED HELP....Doing the Background pic is VERY EASY....Doing the rest is VERY HARD...lol
How do I load AngryDad's trip computer mod??
4. Type "dumpnavi BNHH401A.BIN update HMIManager.exe" This will load the modified v3.50 trip computer into v3.40c Bin. ( I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS)
ALSO for...How do I load AngryDad's OK button crack??
4. Type "dumpnavi BNHH401A.BIN update navi.exe" This will load the modified v3.50 navi.exe into v3.40c Bin. ( I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS)
I NEED HELP just patching them together so i could go ahead and burn the two files onto a cd.....SOMEONE PLZ HELP.

 

I think you guys need to walk away for a few and then come back and very carefully reread Kennys instructions. It is all spelled out there step by step, with absolutely nothing left out.

In each case you first need to extract a file from the BIN (either HMIManager.exe or navi.exe) and then run the appropriate patch on that file, and then stuff it back into the BIN with dumpnavi, JUST like you did with the image hack.

 

Works great on 2004 TSX Thanks

Hi All,

This is just an extra modification you can do to permamently change the background colour. There was a posting in the TSX forum on how to do this to a TSX but there was one slight problem with the instructions given.

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28607

You need to use a hex editor and the offsets given do not match the TL's file offsets. (20 20 20 comes up many times in the TL's navi and offset info doesn't apply)

I did a little backtracking. extracted the TSX's navi.exe file and found the values needed to be changed. I recorded the extra bytes after it so that when you do a search on the TL's navi.exe file, it only comes up once. So here it is.

Search for the byte string for day or night and replace with values for RGB

To change day:
D2 D2 D0 6E 6E 6E -> ?? ?? ?? 6E 6E 6E

To change night:
20 20 20 3F 3D 3C -> ?? ?? ?? 3F 3D 3C

For example replace 20 20 20 3F 3D 3C with 00 00 00 3F 3D 3C to get TRUE black when you are in night mode.

The the tools mentioned at the start of this thread to make the modifications to the navi.exe file.

Enjoy!

I tested this and it does work. (05 AT TL Canadian verison).

I thought someone could add this to the first post so that we have all the mods in one place.

 

I forgot to post htis earlier, but those who have the 3.30G disk, i have made a downloadable .BIn to burn for the OK button By-pass, Trip Computer, A/C controls, Diagnostics Menu and custom start-up image Please PM me for a link to the site to download.

 

hi. using ultraedit 32, where abouts do i edit to change the text of kennyc's nag screen?
ive looked around with no luck and mainly because its rare that i use a hex editor so i dont know the ropes

and BTW. thanks to csmeance for building that bin for 3.30x.. he helped me understood the most. props to him and everyone on acurazine. keep up the good work

 

Hi,

Do a search for the text string "Loading navigation". It's near the end of the file.

If you remove the text "AD" near the bottom of the screen, the modifiled navi.exe will be stuck in a loop.

Vic

PS. Nice to see a fellow Vancouverite here.

 

(sorry couldn't edit last post, too late)

If you use the hex editor mentioned on the first post, you will be given the option to search for the text but you can select "convert to HEX". This will allow you to search for the text "Loading navication" in HEX which is needed. Remember you have to use the exact same upper or lower case in the text and covert to hext first. Hope this makes sense.

Note:

There's also a URL next to the text "AD". Check it out for more info. I think it was www.vistabugs.com/navi

 

Here is a file generated by The Interactive Disassembler (IDA) of the NAVI.exe, maybe someone will be willing run with it. http://www.savefile.com/files/153023

 

This thread is a very nice collection of all the info needed to do this, I wasn't really going to hack the navi, but now that the ok button is hacked, and I can add a trip computer, it is becomming very tempting.

I think I have an older 3.30 DVD, would it still all work the same? with the 3.40 hacking tutorials?

 

forget it, I just read some more, and answered my own questions

 

Ok, so my noobness tried the first step to getting all three of these navi hack done.

I tried to add a new splash screen, I have version 3.30G DVD, and the BIN files are slightly different, but I still have a total of 9 files.......

I am using the GUI dumpnavi, and it is telling me that my version DVD is not compatible.

The BIN files are as follows......

ADD.BIN
BN2HH12C.BIN
BN2HH110.BIN
BN2HH120.BIN
BN2HHMLD.BIN
BN2HN12B.BIN
BN2HN18B.BIN
zzz10.BIN
zzz100.bin

the new file is one I selected from a thread, and everything is in the same directory, includin g the dumpnavi.exe file.......

Should I even try to do the OK hack and the trip monitor hack? Or do I need a new DVD?

The Loader file is BN2HH12C.BIN according to the diag menu in the navi.

 

well I followed this exactly, and it worked, everything works for 3.30, and its super easy, just use CEBin to add the files and make a new bin, and load it up.

everything worked on my first cd burn. Thanks guys.

 

hey kennyc, the file you sent me works perfectly! thanks a lot!!

 

hi nice to meet you and maybe we can meet each other someday

anyway i couldnt find any hex editor mentioned in the first post of this thread, unless you mean the XVI32 which was mentioned in the TSX forums


PS.. does anyone have navi.exe from BNHN404A.BIN in which Angrydad mentioned so TC can be enabled in the diag screen

 

All I can say is if I can do this, ANYONE can! And it worked for me the first time. I now have TC and AD's no-OK hack. Woo-Hoooo! (And, yeah, it has the "AD" but who cares.)

I am the world's worst DOS user and I'll just say some of you guys omitted some steps that are probably so obvious to you that you didn't even think of them, but I pieced it together and got it working. Thanks to kennyc for the trimmed versionof the OK patch, though, because I first got the file too big message before using his 3.40 patch. (And cebin wasn't a working possibility for me.)

If you don't have this working, just read everything VERY carefully and follow the steps and you'll get it.

CelicaGarage, do you mean ultraedit ?. I d/led that and tried to do a Ctrl-F for loading navigation but several entries ?. I have version 4.31C on a RL

 

Hi,

I used Freeware Hex Editor XVI32.

Just copy the text you seen on the boot screen exactly the way it shows up using the correct upper and lower case.

Next press the button that says convert to hex. The text string should convert to hex now and you should find it in the navi.exe code.

Vic

 

so in XVI32 i press 'Search' then 'Find' then "Navigation Loading" then finally Text --> Hex, search and find nothing

 

I just did this hack on my 3.50 and it works great! And the AD does not bother me either. He will get a donation from me now.

Now I am wondering if we can get a hack similar to work for our RL. 4.31v Silver CD it has.

I did think of something that MIGHT help those who don't like the AD.

What if you just change the color to BLACK instead of removing it? This would make it disappear. Is that even possible? Because on know with a Hex Editor you can change the colors of the MAP. Why not change the AD to black! Someone with more experience in the HEx area can you try this?

 

Not sure this matters, but note that AD appended "..." to the end of Navigation Loading. So search for "Navigation Loading..."

Just a thought.
.
.

EDIT - never mind. I just tried it and it didn't matter.
.
.

 

DOH!!! It's "Loading Navigation", not Navigation Loading.

It's in address 44936C.
.
.

 

Try 4493368. I would have sworn it ended in C the first time I searched. (?)

The "AD" is at 449556.

i just PM'ed you

 

One thing to note for people that are changing the text of the warning message, you aren't limited to just replacing the existing text. The strings are null terminated and not a hard coded length, so if you want to make a string longer then what is there now just keep on going (usually into french text) and terminate the string with a hex 00.

I've tested it for all the navi lines and it worked without adverse effects, but for all I know it could cause your car to explode.

The text on the display isn't done in fixed width characters so the max number of characters varies depending on what you put there.

great DIY!
is it possible to keep the custom wallpaper on screen until the map shows?

*had to use kennyc's trimmed navi.exe for 3.50.

 

Thanks - but am I correct in assuming no one has figured out how to undo (or even change) the "AD" without causing a feedback loop?

How do I load AngryDad's OK button crack??

will this work for 06 tls?

Dude - will all due respect, you're gonna get slammed by people telling you the answer to your question is in the posts in this very thread.

It takes a little work on your part, but all the poop is right here. No one can summarize it all in one post better than keenyc did in the very first post. Do a lot of reading and you'll get it.

This works excellent for those with 3.50 where file is to big.

 

My 3.60 disc is on the way. Wonder if the 3.50 patch will work with it...

 

it says i have 1.11

 

That's true, so don't mess with the last line. Although if someone wanted to spend some time with a disassembler one of my previous posts outlines a general approach that could be effective in getting around that requirement.

Also as I mentioned previously you can still customize the second to last line. AD clears that by placing a hex 00 as the first character, but he doesn't check that section of the text so you can change it if you like.
