Post your Samurize script

for anyone asking about shortcuts to folders/apps etc: Here is my active desktop. If you want it, then request the config for the samurize config on the left.

I've modified my weather script a little.

• I started to have problems with it creating a new instance of samurize, so I've used a different way of doing that that fixed the problem.
  
• I've added rounding to the temperatures (for those using celsius)
  
• I've changed the name of the argument to things like getFCTemp so that it is more descriptive (your configs will still work, the argument name is just used in the config editor).
  
• I've neatened the code up a little.

judge, does this new script you just posted have anything to do with Extended Weather? and is it compatible with 0.63c, or just Serious Samurize?

<edit> sorry, double post </edit>

At the moment I am running Samurize twice:

1. Weather Script

2. My own

Is there a way to put them into one?

how do u change the displayed temperature in celcius instead of fahrenheit?

[judge]

I'll answer several questions at once :cool:

• This new weather script is for serious samurize only.
  
• If you don't like running multiple instances of Samurize:
  The JudgeWeather script relies on there being a client instance called weather. That is easily changed though ;).
  After you've done that, you could just copy the contents of JudgeWeather.ini into you main config file, delete the duplicate project section and change the numbers of the source and output sections so that they don't clash and are contiguous with those that are already there.
  Or you could just use the config editor to re-create the config - it really isn't that hard :)
  Personally I would leave the weather as a separate instance as the script kills and re-starts it at regular intervals...
  
• To display celsius, edit JudgeWeather.vbs and set USE_CELSIUS to true

Here my script:

Does this also fix the taskbar icon issue? :D

Edit: Just tested...Looks like it doesn't :cry:

[nkcc.ar]

It doesn?t

the forum topic over at HWGeeks suggested using an app called TrayManager (LINK)

I've installed this and i've never had multiple instances of the samurize icon in the tray ever since. Most definately a worthy app to install... i hate having a million things in my tray (visible that is).

try it out... i've been using it for the weather script by cicada. i'm not sure if it'll work for Judge's.

hope that helps

whoops,

did a quick search for tray manager... didn't think you had to pay for it...

i searched the thread a HWGeeks.com again and found a working link...

Tray manager

enjoy

[korbendallas]

thanks thetruth! ;-)

using systrayx at the moment which seems to have similar functions. will let u know which one's nicer ;-)

[korbendallas]

systrayx is far superior IMHO - maybe u give it a try ;-)

[dr3w2k3]

the forum topic over at HWGeeks suggested using an app called TrayManager

Alright! It works! Just add the Samurize tray icon to Tray Manager and when the weather script runs, the Samurize icon pops into the tray for a second and then goes away! Thanks! ;)

I know I have to be doing something wrong...

judge, when I use your latest script for Serious Samurize (and to clarify: I am using Serious Samurize, heh), the end result instead of displaying the temperature is a [Not Yet Executed]. I didn't go into the script and touch anything, so I don't know if I have to add anything or if I need something else... any help is appreciated. Thanks.

[korbendallas]

judge: did you have a look at the bbc wheater script from samurize.com? I think it might contain some nice ideas.

a new approach of killing the process and only kills samurize if pngs have changed...

unfortuneately it grabs info from bbc.com which is very slow on updates for me. well, if you find it useful you might use some ideas in your script :happy:

as samurize.com is down once again I added the script:

BBC_Weather_Script__with_symbols_.zip

I'm having the same problem :(

[redFX]

Ok, I uploaded my samurize config. Finally managed to get a geocities free web site.

There are some things I still need to do. I want to get a TV script going in it and I want to try Judges new weather script. I'll update as I update.

You can download the config at http://www.geocities.com/redfx13a/redfx.zip

Enjoy!
