Updated Maps and RDF's for RM

If you have a new remote that isn't recognized by RMIR, post the details here so we can help create a new RDF for it. Or, if there is an issue with an existing RDF or map, this is the place.

Updated Maps and RDF's for RM

Post by Nils_Ekberg »

Greg

Just incase you missed my comment in the 6805 thread, I just uploaded some updates for RM in the jp1-km file section RM maps and images called "Updated 10-12-03 Maps Images etc.zip". These are my revisions to Mike's RDF updates and the supporting maps

I've been working on getting RM to handle undefined buttons in ButtonMaps. I'm pretty close.

I took a look at the RDF files, and noticed some other things:

1925/1918/1919: The [DeviceTypes] includes some duplicate entries. Is this intentional?

Code: Select all

[DeviceTypes]
Cable    = 0,$0000
TV       = 0,$0101
VCR/DVD  = 1,$0202
CD/Audio = 1,$0303
VCR/DVD  = 1,$0202
Cable    = 0,$0000
CD/Audio = 1,$0303
CD/Audio = 1,$0303
Intuitive: Some of the DeviceTypeAliases are missing:

Code: Select all

[DeviceTypeAliases]
CABLE = Cable,SAT,Video Acc
TV    = TV
VCR   = VCR,DVD,Tape,Laserdisc
Navigator: Does "CYC1 (URC-44000B02-B04 Navigator).rdf" replace "CYC1 (Navigator).rdf"?

URC-7070: Duplicate DeviceTypes?

Code: Select all

[DeviceTypes]
Cable/SAT = 0,$0000
TV        = 0,$0101
Cable/SAT = 0,$0000
VCR/DVD   = 1,$0202
CD/Audio  = 1,$0303
CD/Audio  = 1,$0303
CD/Audio  = 1,$0303
VCR/DVD   = 1,$0202

Greg,

We saw those too. They were in the zip posted at Yahoo Files>rdfs. We had no idea what to make of them either, but they didn't "break" IR or RM. You might ask Mike about them. We just "assumed" they were necessary for some kind of 6805 protocol distiction coming later. Other than map updates, about all Nils did was add "unknownx" to the buttons area to match RM's then current requirement that anything in Buttonmaps had to be in buttons. We weren't about to "assume' that those dupes were an error, but that they would serve some purpose at some future date. If you compare the rdf's in the zip with the ones Nil's posted, the mods were just a "bandaid" to make them work in RM and not spit out a huge err file or totally crash RM. At any rate, those aren't things that Nils added.

Yes, concerning the CYC1

I noticed the duplicates in the device types of the 1925 and 7070 but since they didn't seem to break anything I left them in and forgot to ask Mike about them.

Since we are convinced that the CYC1 is not a S3C80 processor the new one has to be a replacement. I already trashed the old one.

I will take a look at the Intuitive [devicetypealiases]

Another thing. The map files and the RDFs don't agree on button names. Remember that case is important!

I found this in the 4 map files included in the ZIP, and the Navigator.map

I've fixed my copies, and will check them into CVS.

I guess this will be last RM release that includes RDFs. We'll have to work out a process for releasing RDFs.

Uh-oh, I think the case sensitivity is an unintended side-effect of the changes to allow undefined buttons in a ButtonMap.

Guess I'm not quite ready for a release.

I also noticed a couple of RDF vs. image map button name errors and fixed them also. One was ENTER{MUSIC} vs. ENTER/MUSIC

I have not found any problem with case sensitivity so it must have occured with the changes you are working on. I think you just said that. If I have to make case changes in all the map files let me know. I hope not....

I guess so, and I have about 35 RDF's to submit for update with the generic names added plus a couple of fixes.

I'm planning to build and release later today. If you want me to include those, go ahead and put them up at jp1-km.

They are there now in the RM Images and maps folder called "Updated10-13-03Maps-and-RDFs.zip". (link below)

Can I assume your update won't require case sensitive naming in RDF vs. Maps?

I think after I get through the generic naming it may be worth while for me to go over the maps and match the case in the RDF's just so it does not get in the way in the future. The case is close to correct in the RDF's but not in the maps. I didn't worry too much about it because it worked either way and I was more concerened about what displayed which is controlled by the RDF naming/case.

Yes, this is intentional. In IR, the list has to be the same length as the [DeviceButtons] list so that the correct device type is associated with the button. If the duplicates were left off, then IR would assign the last device type in the list to all remaining device buttons.

It seems I started with a bad copy of the Intuitive RDF, so you'll have to supply the missing ones. :oops:

Yes, I sure hope so! It never was an S3C8...

I fixed the DeviceTypeAliases and it is in the release that Greg just put out. The problem however is it will only work with RM or the beta of IR since it has the generic names in it.

I guess IR users could continue to use my "old" RDF until the new version of IR is ready, since IR does not use the alias list.
