I need a lot of laptops. My micronation will soon be broadcasting television, so I need computers to relay the video signal... nothing powerful though. Just a few Pentium 3 laptops or something. it's important to keep up with the technology advancement!

I do need a new personal laptop though. Something with a powerful video card. Even though I'm a computer nerd, I don't feel like researching any suggestions?

Great emulation... and great song choice (I <3 RF). 

Thanks! And I agree, Ryan Farish is a great artist.

I'd love to see a public WeatherSTAR emulator based in something other than PowerPoint.

IntelliSTAR v1 Emulation

I don't get it.

Its a joke..

You said an emulation not made in Powerpoint and that wasnt PP based but rather Adobe based

Oh. xD Good emulator btw.

Hi, this may sound crazy but I am making a Weatherscan XL v1 emulator. Yes I am aware of Brians weatherscan v2 emulator right here at the forums, which of course was my very inspiration to make one, but mine will probably look shameful next to his. I desperately need the help of TWC experts like you guys. I need graphics (animated icons, maps) info about the XL (names of the fonts used, how LDL works). I am calling upon the kind help of you guys! Can anybody help me? 

BTW I have my own forums here: http://www.weatherstar.forumotion.com

And my apologies admin if this is not the right place for this..

Looks like a great forum. I just signed up. I hope it becomes more active! I'd love to see a public WeatherSTAR emulator based in something other than PowerPoint.

Well, here's my first real, good emulator... WeatherSTAR Jr. in a custom flavor. (It's M flavor without the travel cities) It's been customized to fit the forecast of my micronation. Enjoy! 


(By the way, it's based in PowerPoint... the times are so horribly messed up. They show the time that the slide completed being exported into a video file. I'll fix that soon.)

It's a big region-wide music festival... all kinds of music: hip-hop, R&B, hard rock, etc. I'm a crew member there, so I get in free!

Hiya, guys. I'm Bailey, just signed up on the forums. I'm a high school student (10th grade) in Pittsburgh. Can't wait to... well, actually do something on the forums!

Bailey!  Nice snow leopard in your avatar. By chance, do you like Apple?

Thanks! And yes, I do. I won't ask if you do, cause it's sort of obvious... xD

That radar came from a weather website called myforecast.com, but Iusually used intellicast's radars now. I just needed a radar to put in that space.

Ah, I see. Okay then. Good job on the emulator!

My Version of the HD IntelliStar - Phase 1 Animation Transition Test Run (HD Quality) - SOME ANIMATION IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AFTER THIS TEST RUN.


NOTE - I had to change the titlebar also because it didn't match well with the other graphics.
Available weather data was accurate during the process of this video being rendered in After Effects.

Nice, but how are you getting the radar? It looks like a GIF image just stretched out to me. Where do you get it? For my last emulator I used the IntelliCast radar images, which worked really well.

How's everyone doing this Labor Day weekend?  Hope all of you had a great summer vacation and have a great start to college or school.

Not very well I'm afraid, I'm trying to get over a cold at the moment. 

You too? I'm not alone! I got a cold on Friday, now all thats left is a little congestion and a scratchy throat.
