Just want to remind you that my XL emulator project isn't dead, but in the meantime here is an IS background I whipped up real quick last night.

Hello There!

The IS flavor reference is not working properly, it's throwing PHP errors.

Thanks!  :thumbsup:

I was not initially impressed on the maps, but the more and more I look at them, the more and more I like them.

I will continue to expand the map and then add the interstates, counties and cities for the radar version of it.

This is a map test for the Birmingham, AL area (where I live), the amount of work that went into this is exhaustive, but I am confident that I may be able to create a nationwide map, the only way I know of to get a map for everybody.

No, never was responded to, but I still have some interest in the program.

I have spent the last few months learning C++, and will program the emulator in it using the Allegro game/multimedia library.

After I gather all my art work, I will program a tool that will export each frame as an image, I can then use the wide variety of tools available to stitch these into a movie file.  Once that is completed, I will have all the animations, then customization will be easy, just see what file to play and when, then display the parsed data.

I would like to ask a favor of anybody out there that is talented in animation...

Would you consider creating the animation for the program, it would be much appreciated, as I can't think of a better way than to just make it as a short .avi or .mov  and then overlay the data on top of it. E-mail me at jmjmills04@gmail.com if interested.

Same here. Real bad, and AVG won't allow me to add a PUP exception. AVG classifies it as a "Exploit Blackhole Exploit Kit (type 2704)"

Here is the completed CC screen minus the text.

All animation will be done procedurally inside the code once I get to that stage.

Thanks for the tips!

I'm going to for right now stick with the aspect ratio I have, as I really don't like the black bars on the tops and sides, however if I ever release it to the public (I plan on it, although it will be at least Christmas before that happens), I will re-work the graphics to the native resolution.

@Zach, I really don't have the money on anything commercial right now, so I will stick with my modified Coolvetica, I think I have gotten pretty close.

Keep the comments coming please!

Hello There!

I have been programming for a little over a year now, and am currently in the process of making an XL v.1 emulator (not a powerpoint, but a real program). I am now in the process of making all the graphics (all in 1440 x 900, to fit my monitor).

The current task is to get the top bar as correct as possible. Not finished with it yet, but I would like some constructive criticism.

The font is Coolvetica converted to a raster layer (using GIMP) and then playing around with it till I get the right look.

Local Forecast / Radar Data

Does anybody know if WeatherSTARs and IS/IS2 uses raw radar data or if it is images off of the NOAA server with a really good image processing algorithm. Thanks!
