[Ovmsdev] Think City files and images (for iOS) committed to GitHub

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Quite frustrating to access that forum:

Seems that they don't like non-Norwegians :-( I even tried a US VPN and was still blocked. Seems to be they also use cookies, so if you visit the site once you get blocked from further access no-matter your IP.

For images, we are trying to change the way this works. We would like to use a mask-based approach, which will dramatically reduce the number of images required, but are currently looking for volunteers skilled in photoshop to assist.

In the meantime, for new vehicles, to get the images into the apps, we need images in a specific size, orientation and layout.

The images are:

1] The car front-angle view. 654x302 pixels, high quality PNG format. One for each colour to be supported. The background must be transparent.

If you have problems with aspect ratio, try to keep the width the same, and leave space on the top/bottom.



2] The car xray view, 304x606 pixels, high quality PNG format. One for each colour to be supported. The background must be transparent.

You should try to keep the wheels in approximately the same position as the attached picture (in particular if your vehicle supports TPMS). If you have problems with aspect ratio, try to keep the height the same, and leave space on the sides.



3] Car map images. 96x96 pixels, medium quality PNG format. One for each colour to be supported. Car must be pointing upwards (north). The background must be transparent.

If you have problems with aspect ratio, try to keep the height the same, and leave space on the sides.



4] Name of vehicle type

We also need the official name and model of the vehicle type (eg. Tesla Roadster, Nissan Leaf, Volt Ampera, etc).

5] File naming

The files should be named as follows:

car_<type>_<colour>.png					(for the car front-angle view)
ol_car_<type>_<colour>.png				(for the car X-ray view)
map_car_<type>_<colour>.png			(for the car map image)

The <type> is the vehicle type (e.g.; roadster, ampere, twizy, etc). The <colour> is the official colour name (e.g.; thundergray, crystalred, lithiumwhite, electricblue, etc).

Once we have artwork in the correct format, putting it in the apps is trivial. The primary problem is finding artwork of appropriate quality and style, with a transparent background.

Regards, Mark.
