Hey guys, I am making/programming an IntelliStar emulator (non powerpoint), and I need some help. Does anyone know where I can get the official IntelliStar graphics? Thanks guys! :D
P.S. The is is http://intellistaremulator.x10.mx/ (http://intellistaremulator.x10.mx/)

They were in a file posted briefly here a while back, but are no longer available.

Do you know if he still has them?
-
The IntelliStar files were removed from the forum due to the potential risk of copyright, so don't expect to get ahold of them. Sorry.

Darn. :l That's too bad. :( :cry:

But you can still try and make your own. :) You can perhaps make your own concept.

On the site, I have some snapshots of what I have been able to create so far. Anyone have a opinion on them?

The graphics and pictures are quite nice. The "UNK" looks extremely awkward. Either leaving a field blank or, at most, putting "N/A" would make more sense, I think. The Stars generally leave a field blank if there's no information for it, unless a whole product is unavailable, in which case a notification of that is displayed. Also, the font needs work. It seems much too large in places, such as the local forecast and ESPECIALLY the 4-city observations page. And the font itself doesn't seem to match the beautiful backgrounds you have it on - it's a rather blocky and extraordinarily plain helvetica font.

That's a bug I am working on. Sometimes randomly also, it will not draw/make appear and of the locations etc, So I have to find the source of that issue.

Ah, the font. That's a royal pain for me. I am working toward recreating the fonts from intelliStar, or make the fonts I am using look more like the intelliStar.
Thanks for you feed back! :D

I'm back! lol! Anyway: I want to know if anyone here is good at developing graphics. Or knows where I can get the new intellistar icons. I have the '2006-2009' icons, but I want the new ones. Anyone know where I can get them? Or someone know who can develop them?
Also, anyone know a good forecast feed / cc feed? TWC stopped providing the XML feed I was implementing, so I am going to need a new one.
--So yea, those are my 2 questions--
:biggrin: Thanks! :biggrin:
