Update 10 - The Optimisation Update

This Update majorly Optimises both the standard SexySpeedometer, and the Code for the existing Skins, majorly improving both performance and memory usage, here are a few before & afters

On Foot:

Default Skin:

ID5 Skin:

ID5 Skin is slower due to doing much more stuff in the Background, compared to the Default Skin.

Enjoy!

Update 9

Lots has happened since the last update, here is a few things:

• Texture Override feature for Skins, no more weirdly overlapping textures!
• Performance improvements
• More API Features!
• Made Initial D Skins be part of sexyspeedometer by default
• Fix Turbo Gauge with a new "emulating" function, which tries to mimic the turbo's boost

Note: its always recommended to download the "master" build of sexyspeedometer, as releases are few and far between.

Update 8.3

BeamLight
BlinkerLight
FuelLight
OilLight
EngineLight
FuelNeedle
SpeedometerBG
TachometerBG
Needle
FuelGauge

Update 8.2

This Update will allow people to remove the "default" skins.

Update 8.1

this update resembles the latest github commits.

Update 8

wow big update

this update adds a completely new system for adding "skins" for your speedometer, supporting custom textures and positions, a few commands and exports.

how to make a custom skin:

firstly, create a .lua file resembling your skin name in the "skins" directory of sexyspeedometer and add it to the __resource.lua as a client script ( it should already have the default skin added, just add the new skin under it )

if you are using custom textures, make sure to place your texture dictionary inside your stream folder with a name resembling your skin

now open the Lua file you created earlier and add following text to it:

local skinData = {
	-- names
	skinName = "myskin",
	ytdName = "myskin",
	-- texture dictionary informations:
	-- night textures are supposed to look like this:
	-- "needle", "tachometer", "speedometer", "fuelgauge"
	-- daytime textures this:
	-- "needle_day", "tachometer_day", "speedometer_day", "fuelgauge_day"
	-- these names are hardcoded

	-- where the speedo gets centered, values below are OFFSETS from this.
	centerCoords = {0.8,0.8},


	-- icon locations
	-- these are xy,width,height
	lightsLoc = {0.010,0.092,0.018,0.02},
	blinkerLoc = {0.105,0.034,0.022,0.03},
	fuelLoc = {0.105,0.090,0.012,0.025},
	oilLoc = {0.100,0.062,0.020,0.025},
	engineLoc = {0.130,0.092,0.020,0.025},

	-- gauge locations
	SpeedoBGLoc = {0.000,0.060,0.12,0.185},
	SpeedoNeedleLoc = {0.000,0.062,0.076,0.15},

	TachoBGloc = {0.120,0.060,0.12,0.185},
	TachoNeedleLoc = {0.120,0.062,0.076,0.15},

	FuelBGLoc = {0.060, -0.020,0.04, 0.04},
	FuelGaugeLoc = {0.060,0.000,0.040,0.08},

	RotMult = 2.036936,
	RotStep = 2.32833

}

addSkin(skinData)

you can edit the values to your liking, just make sure to change the "ytdName" to the name of the ytd file you put into stream, without the ".ytd" extension, or if you want to use the default skin, just set it to "default".

once you've done all that, hop ingame and run the changeSkin function with your skin name as argument or type /speedoskin myskin in the chat, if you don't have a script set up to change it with.

Done! If you did everything correctly, your skin should now appear ( if you are in a car ).

Update 7

This is possibly the last update, so enjoy it!

fix for the annoying tacho jerking back when exiting/entering a new car

Update 6

yup, it’s that time again, new changes, focused around fixes

Fixed that the speedo didn’t show on Utility/Industrial vehicles
Removed RPM and Fuel Gauges for Electric Vehicles since they don’t work properly anyways, also removed low-oil and low-fuel warnings

Update 5

Update 5

An Update? Wew.

Before listing the changelogs, i want to send out a big THANK YOU to everyone that suggested things, helped me get the code running, added natives and were generally helpful, people included but not limited to are:
ikt for the new natives and research ❤️
thers for helping me with the Fuel, research and generally being cool
and mraes for keeping me inspired 😉

Now, since we have that out of the way:
Lots of new stuff

Added:
Blinkers ( that are not really that accurate as of now )
Fuel Gauge
Fuel Lamp
Oil Lamp

Fuel Display does not require any specific resource, but FRFuel is recommended, if you don’t need/want it, go into client.lua and switch showFuelGauge = true to false, Easy!
Note that this does not add a fuel system, it merely checks at what % the Fuel Tank is filled!

Update 4

What, we skipped a version?! Oh no!

Good thing i added enough stuff to plug the gap, have fun!

This Update adds Dashboard Elements which are:
Lights/Highbeams Display
Check Engine Light

If you have any suggestions feel free to suggest a new Dash Element!

Other Changes:
Make Dashboard Elements more reliable when entering/exiting
Made sure vehicle data is up to date when entering a vehicle
