Anyone has Samurize weather config that does singapore's weather ? And also, is there one config that does starhub cable TV times ?
dreamz
weather 2004 plugin should work.

or the weatherxml script.
hyewiz
It all depands which Weather are you using. If you are using the Weather 2004 Plug-in By torsius in your plugin folder you shoul have weather.ini file open that and in the Local ID put SNXX0006 this is the weather for for Singapore, SN and save it. then run your Samurize. Make sure you have Samurize and Samurize config not runing while you do this.
And if you want other Cities then this go to http://www.weather.com/common/drilldown/SN.html
and choose your City, and there in the Address bar look for that Cities Number like this

http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/local/SNXX0006 and use that number in your weather.ini
donchen
Thanks alot. Done it. But its kinda weird. It says its raining. But the icon shows a sun. Wonder why. Anyway, no TV guide for starhub ?

try reloading your config, deleting the temp files, or checking to make sure the path to the image is correct.

starhub? i doubt there's a script, but check samurize.com.
donchen
i check samurize.com. But it didn't return any results. I've done everything correct. The path. The temp files deleted. But its still weird. It says cloudy. But shows are cloud with thunder sign.
KMDonlon
Sounds like you are either using a forecast meter or the now function instead of current condition icon....if you post more details we can get you taken care of...are you running one of the default configs Torsius included in the download?
donchen
I'm currently using Torsius weather plugin. I'm not using his default configs. But i'm using his icons.

Anyway, in the screenshot, you can see the big icon. Its using the IconForecast commad. As for the word Mostly cloudy, I'm using current condition command.
and the icon under tonight, i'm using iconnow command. So what went wrong ? If you need more details. Do tell me. Thanks for all ya help.
dreamz
well it depends what you want. iconforecast means it will use the icon for the weather for tomorrow (or sometime in the future). you want to use the icon for the current moment (i guess?).
donchen
yeah. For the big icon, i want it to show the icon for current weather report.
dreamz
well you're using the wrong command.

why are you using the forecast command if you want it to display the current weather?
donchen
i use the IconNow command ?
dreamz
yeah.

iconforecast = icon for weather tomorrow, the next day, etc. sometime in the future, hence "forecast"
iconnow = icon for the weather right now
donchen
I've used iconnow command. It says mostly cloudy night. But shows a moon with clouds and thunder and rain. Doesn't tally.
dreamz
did you have to enter values for the time/day (e.g. 0 = now, 1 = tonight, or something like that)? i'm checking weather.com and tonight's forecast is scattered t-storms, which looks like your icon.

also check the path to the images. maybe the png aren't named properly.
donchen
eh.. yeah. it looks the same as mine. But at weather.com, the top icon shows only clouds. and how come it says cloudy night. shouldn't it be storm or something ?
hyewiz
Hope this will help you a bit
this is how i have mine SET check the image
dreamz
i think you configured it wrong. check to see that you put in the correct zip, path, commands, and values.
donchen
The picture attached is the settings for the current condition that says " Mostly Cloudy Night "

hyewiz
Sorry to ask but i did not get it, what are you trying to do. if you can explain, i can make you config according to your needs for the weather .
donchen
Ok. Err.. I'm trying to show the current condition icon as the big icon. on the right side shows the temperature and also the condition (eg, cloudy, rainy, sunny). At the lower part. It shows the date and the day. And under the respective date/day, it shows that particular day's icon. hope it helps.
donchen
oh ya, i dun mind using ya icons. so if u are doing the config for me, just do according to ya icons. thanks
hyewiz
so what you wanna do is exactelly mine the one i posted the image . clik on the image to make it larger and tell me if thats what you want
donchen
yeah. thats exactly what i want. But can u do it like how i do it ? on that background and layout ?
dreamz
he already told you how to do it.

the condition is correct. the command <cond> is for the current condition, so that's fine.

the big icon showing the current weather is not correct. as mentioned, you need to use the iconcc command.
hyewiz
Ok this is what i came up with for you
I have 2 questions is it the latest Samurize are you using and is it installed in C:Program Files/.. folder

Here its the same as the weather.com for Singapore, http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/local/SNXX0006
hyewiz
or this color
KMDonlon
Simple and sweet....
ICONCC = Current condition

ICONNOW = Today/Tonight's Condition
(Depends on time of day)

ICONLATER = Tonight/Tomorrow's Condition
(Depends on time of day)

FORECASTICON = Day 2-12 Forecast


...............................End of story!
donchen
thank for all ya help. My samurize version is 1.55. Not sure if its the latest. Anyway, i prefer the first one.

donchen
Anyone uses the livescores script ? i need help on that as well.

oh ya. And is there anyone here knows that if there is a plugin/script that allow users to show random pictures in a particular folder.
donchen
having weather report, news report. Does it take my alot of my cpu usage ? ever since i have them, my cpu usage is always at 45% average.
KMDonlon
Cut your refresh times back and make seperate instances for each config, one large one with a quick refresh time will use CPU cycles....scripts also tend to be heavy users...the latest version of samurize is v1.60 by the way.... ninja.gif
donchen
hmn... sorry. i'm not very good with samurize. but how do i make seperate instances ?

Samurize has an Instance Manager which lets you run as many as you want.
all you do is make Deferent Configs and then run the Instance Manager to add them
