[PC] Speedometer

[ithinkimcats]

Speedometer for Saints Row 2
​

This speedometer is configurable, with per-vehicle settings via the speedometer.ini file, and per-vehicle speedometer visuals. Extract the ZIP and place the ASI file within a "scripts", "plugins", or "update" folder once you have installed the Ultimate ASI loader. Place textures and the speedometer.ini file within a "textures" folder in the same directory as the ASI itself.

For per-vehicle settings, create entries with the name of the individual vehicle:

[default]
needle_pivot_x=8
needle_pivot_y=100
needle_angle_min=225
needle_angle_max=510
speedometer_x=0.90
speedometer_y=0.80
max_speed = 140
fade_speed = 2.5

[car_4dr_police01]
max_speed = 120

Any missing values will be inherited from the default values.

For per-vehicle images, create and name images in the following format:
(internal_name)_background.png / (internal_name)_needle.png
car_4dr_police01_background.png / car_4dr_police01_needle.png

Any missing images will be replaced by the default image.

For disclosure, the code for this project was developed with over 90% AI-generated code, as I am not familiar with C or C++. I would like to call this more of a proof of concept; the memory addresses and general idea are included in the source code: https://github.com/ithinkimcats/SR2Speedometer
If someone wishes to make a better version of this using what is provided there, that would be really cool and awesome.

I was just thinking about going back to try modding gear ratios. This will make things easier! The design blends in nicely with the game's aesthetic too. Thanks, Cats!

One small thing; With the modern SuperUI HUD layout, the speedometer covers the weapon icon while you're driving so you can't see which weapon is equipped. I've made a small adjustment to SuperUI's hud.lua to compensate for this. Otherwise amazing!

(Edit: I did notice the X & Y variables in the .ini, but now this is an option too.)
