RageShowMyLocation 0.172.20.2048 (Speed Limit, Color Distinction of Road Types, City/County, Street Name, Heading, Player Speed, Time, Coords(X,Y,Z), Zone) 0.172.20.2048 with RNUI 1.5.1

I like the idea of it for people who don't want to use ScripthookV/ScripthookV.net but this is pretty much the same as Player Location Display. Make it unique somehow, thats my only thing :)

Simple idea that I never thought about having 

Doesn't this do the exact same thing as pld?(http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/7706-player-location-display/)

Yes, but it uses RagePluginHook instead. This was the reason to create this plugin - to not have to install script hook V, and still have this functionality. It's alternative.

@EthanRubinacci

There are some additional functionalities planned.

New version is publicly available

I like the way this is heading especially the idea of the different coloured text for different roads and such. Keep up the good work :). I'll do a showcase vid if you'd like.

There are some fixes coming, and new additions, like displaying current street speed limit (for traffic policing)

you get that done and you've sealed the deal. Speed limit signs in the game are so far from  each other that I usually just make up a relative speed limit

Also I could beta test if you like :p

Nvm I see I've got that done ill feature this this tonight

Thanks. If You would like to beta test there's development build link in plugin thread, on forum

Hello w35, congrats for your mod I find the features really nice.

There's one thing that bothers me though : the refresh rate. I don't know how you can tweak this, but I often see the text flickers very quickly.

I didn't notice it at first, but now that i've seen it, I can't bear with it x).

I know about it. It sometimes happens.

Theres not much I can do about it for now. It looks like Rage plugin hook hooks to game frame rendering system this way. I have tried different solutions, but they are not this what i want to achieve. I have hooked in my code to one and only event given by RPH API that has ability to place that kind of text, and control it freely, without interfering with other plugins, and it  (RPH) just works this way. Please note that RPH itself is in open alpha stage, and can be sometimes unpredictable. This issue hopefully will be resolved, and more API will show up, during RPH development, so all what we can do is wait in that matter.

Of course, I understand :). I am merely reporting this small issue.
Have you tried querying RPH only once or twice per second instead of all the time ? Maybe it would solve the problem.

Problem is that RPH queries mu plugin this way. Thats how event handlers work. I provide event handler, hook it to RPH, so RPH can call my event handler each time frame renders in game (event is fired).

Great addon. Is there any way you could please tell me what are the exact values to set the information bar on the bottom of the screen, like in your screenshots?

You should edit ini file provided with plugin.

Values are pixels. So If You have monitor with resolution 1600x900 pixels, and game runs fullscreen, You should set pos_x=500 pos_y=850 (so theres place for text on bootom of screen (about 50 pixels)). If You set font size in ini file to larger, You should use lesser value for Y axis than 850 px. Theres brief description in ini file.

Thank you sir ! 

Awesome mod. Finally an alternative to PLD which causes less dependencies (only RPH so far).

But I have two suggestions:

The time should display leading zeros, maybe configurable via the ini file.

Atm: 7:1

Preferred: 07:01

Also as a metric user I would love to see an option to switch between MPH/KPH.

Could someone please send me the ideal position for a 1920x1080 monitor? (Preferred centered bottom)

Thanks. 

Will be added. Both suggestions.

Place

pos_x=800
pos_y=1030 

in provided with plugin ini file. Should be fine. If it doesn't fit best add / substract to X axis some pixels.

quick question how do u switch to mph ?

In plugin's ini file (newer versions) there is setting for it. In example "metric_units=0" means Imperial units will be used, when You set it to "1" ("metric_units=1") plugin will use metric units instead and automatically convert MPH to KMPH.

Nice Job!  Suggestion: would it be possible to add an option to the INI to turn off the green box?  The box is a little distracting in my opinion.  Thanks for the mod though...very useful for those of us who only use ragehook!

I'm currently using Ragehook .26, but this mod will not appear on the Plugin tab when I hold shift (yes, it's in the Plugin folder). When I try to launch it from ragehook's console while in game, it comes up with a CLR Assembly error.

Plugin has been updated for RPH 0.28 today

Thank you! I'll re-download it and try it out. I've also updated to RPH 0.28

Ah I've figured out why it hasn't been working for me...When I try to extract the file, it's not extracting cleanly. So it's nothing on your end, I just need to find a free application to unzip .7z files.

The description for the mod says there is a ".ini" file. I don't see one.
