@PigeonBB
Well, ideally I'd add a tab to the satnav, but since that's not possible, this will have to do.
The calculation is a bit of a mess (like the other code, would refactor it to something neat if I had the time and willingness to do so), but it basically boils down to:
Get the screen width, and height. Position it in the middle (width / 2 - (popup / 2)), one third from the top. Then there's the text positioning, which is even better, because the station name and now playing have a different colour, so you need to calculate both of them, do some magic. Just keep in mind it is reversed in RTL languages (like Hebrew). Then there's the logo itself, which has to be resized as well.
It's a lot basically :P

I did upload a new version today.
Why do today what you can postpone until tomorrow?

@Koen
Wow! Thank you for teaching me in detail! There was more basically than I imagined.
I succeeded in build, so I will adjust the code. New version today? I'm happy! Well, then I will work on it :D
Thank you again!

First of all, thank you @Koen for this great software! This is really peace of art!

Second, as this software uses plug-in for advanced features it seems that it is not possible to run another plug-in at same time for other purposes? Reason I´m writing is that I am driving for VTC in http://trucksbook.eu/ service and am running also their client that uses plug-in for advanced features (logging and sending statistics to their server). It seems to me that only one plug-in can be used at same time and which is first loaded works and another is does not. Is there any work-a-round that makes possible to run two plug-ins at same time?

@jkh67 ETS2 does work with multiple plugins at the same time. One issue could be that the plugin's file name is the same, and it is overwritten. However, this would only be a problem if TB modified the plugin but kept the same name. So: Could you check whether the name is the same (and if they are, rename them. You can install the plugin for Local Radio manually from the plugins folder). If that doesn't work, then it might be because TB modified the DLL while keeping the same memory mapping (which would be strange). I don't use TB myself, so I'm not sure.

I'm interested in TB and download it. Local Radio & TB both works fine together for me :)

Did you do anything special when installing? Which one did you install first? Local Radio or TB?

No, I didn't anything special. I installed Local Radio first.
Before that, I also installed the FFB plugin.
So there are three .dll files in my win_x64\plugins folder.
  • ets2-telemetry.dll
  • Real_G27_ffb_x64.dll
  • trucksbook_64.dll

I have something very important to say; I've spent a lot of time thinking if I should say it or not, but I think I should. So...

THANK YOU!!! <3 I love music and I always try to find ways of improving the immersion of games. This mod is perfect for that. Good work!

Hey Koen,

Found the new 1.22 version, thanks !

I always uninstall and install the complete mod when i update, because i have no idea if there's an easier way ..
I always follow your 'rules' of uninstalling so nothing gets left behind.

Now the problem is : the overlay is not showing up. Not in ATS nore in ETS.
Did another uninstall/install. Didn't help.
Do you have an idea what is (it i am doing) wrong ?
Always hungry for the road
