Thanks for tests guys. Oki, few more updates to next versionThanks, works well, even with
- hopefully fixed local links, thanks John. This "mapsVector/_themes/freemap_slovakia.pdf" inside X.lnk file works for me now
- support for more legends based on locale. Just add two-letter language code to the end of files, like X_en.pdf, X_de.pdf
Oki, so give a try to the new version3.45.1.5I've got an english and a german legend, so something like this would be appreciated:
Theme file:
../my_theme.xml
Legend file:
../my_theme.pdf
or
../my_theme.lnk > simple text file that may contain a path to legend. By path is currently considered absolute path to file, a relative path within Locus directory, or URL to the web page with the legend.
I've not tested this, so let me know if something won't work.
Here's a screenshot. There IS actually a white border around the text, but it's very very thin. Notice the "101" text in the lower right corner? Even at this larger-than-tablet magnification, it's very hard to tell there's any separator.Thanks, I thought you had examples without white border and there would be a bug. As said above, the border is not scaled 150%, so it is too small for letters at his size, but OK for what is was meant.
Also, Locus beta 3.40.2.1 here is going nuts, drawing and redrawing the labels at two wildly different sizes. Here I've caught a screenshot with both sizes shown at once. Panning seems to trigger some re-rendering, and I had to pan a lot to line up things for the screenshot.I can't reproduce this, but the really small ones are either wrong or, like in the screenshot with "4m" scale, are too much zoomed in. Until it's optimized for MF 0.12, street names are mainly optimized for zoom 16/17, where there was a chance to see them in previous versions. As street width scales with zoom, but the text size doesn't, the street names look tiny at ZL 22 in your example, but are actually just the same size as in ZL17. I don't think there's any sense in adding lots of code for optimizing for zoom levels that don't have a practical value ;-)
I have to disappear shortly from the internet for a few days, sorry.Good for you :-)
BTW, I usually have my text size at 150%, which makes road names hit the borders of the road they're rendered inside/atop, black hitting black, which makes white borders around the letters a bit more desirable.Could you post a screenshot where black is hitting black? There are white borders in Elevate around letters, so this shouldn't happen. It's probable that the borders aren't scaled as the text size in your 150% zoom option, but making borders thicker at 100% so that they look good at 150% isn't a solution.
"style" (missing in your reference)Thanks, added it
Anyway because MF project seems not to be dead like in times I started to write own modded version, I'll instead contribute changes back to the official version.Good news :-)
What is to do? Doesn´t the features of the Locus V3 rendering engine work any longer?Locus uses the standard mapsforge engine for maps V4 and higher. As the Locus extensions were never ported back to mapsforge, they can't be used.
Is there any description for Locus themes of all tags I can use?
I must correct, I used Elements theme. It displays a lot, but when zooming out town names should have the right prio...
Newest Elevate and a v4 map, and the city name overshadowed by "Wohnwagen-Platz"... Sizes of town/city names like totally random.Could you post a screenshot?
The original Tiramisù 3 should work with V4 maps, just put it in a seperate directory in the theme folder. You find it in the link in the first post.Of course, this theme is only for V3 maps.
Please could you update your theme to V4 maps?
I really love it and used it always with the LoMaps.
Is there a definitive guide to the usage of these tags anywhere?The best thing is still this:
Thanks for the hint about the problem tags in the theme for V4 on your site.I made a reference which mapsforge version support which tags that can be found here:
PerfectThat's great to hear, can't wait for the release with all those improvements. Seems like I'll have a one theme file fits all apps solution. Some theme cleaning/deinstallation option is also a good idea..
It is now finally possible to have two or more XML files in the same subdirectory and all these files appear for selection. It is then easy to share the same icons for themes without messing the root "_themes" directory as was necessary till now.
