Title: My own emulator
Post by: TWCJim on August 12, 2011, 09:47:52 PM: I never got around to posting these vids on this forum, but here they are, in ascending order:

First version of my emulator

Birthday Present For socool775- Personalized TWC Forecast For Lansing, MI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SqaRcnPDcA#)

This was created exclusively as a present for socool775/Aaron's 18th birthday (just testing it out at the time.)

Second version

ImBoredIIDeath's TWC Emulator- Blowing Sand in LA :P (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul_hIuAFlWw#)

For this update, I added more slides, as well as some narrations for the CC, radar, text-based and the 3-day forecast.

Current version of my emulator

ImBoredIIDeath's TWC Emulator- Blowing Dust in Spokane :P (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tD7n7bJ3uA#)

For this update, I discontinued the LDL, changed the background to a blue-faded-to-black color background, added a spot for sponsorships, and moved the weather bulletin still to the very beginning, similar to the IntelliStar.

What do you guys think? I might make more emulator vids soon :)

For this update, I brought back the LDL, but restarted from scratch. Also, I updated all the backgrounds and added an ad crawl at the beginning. What do you think?

Post by: seminolefanboy on October 29, 2011, 02:15:57 PM: Good stuff Jim. I think your emulator could go a really long way. Which font(s) did you use for the text? I can't really tell.

Post by: Trevor on December 28, 2011, 09:10:37 AM: Can I give you some corrective criticism? Have an image of an actual warning crawl next to your emulation. Then, you can better see the font size. Not bashing you, I had the same problem way back when ;). Also, here (http://s122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/weatherstooge/?action=view&current=TWCWarningCrawl3.png) is the actual warning crawl. Be sure to give credit to weatherstooge.
