Finally, a NEW IntelliSTAR Emulator (created by me) HAS BEEN RELEASED!

Presenting- The "IntelliSTAR Emulator: SQUEAK-X1"!

(This new emulator has both a Local and a National forecasts.)

Features (Local Forecast):
- Initially all products used on the IntelliSTAR (2004-2013), including the Record Temperatures, Heat Safety Tips, Climate Data, and the Traffic screens
- New products: Airport Delays (United States only), Ski Reports
- A "Fly In" animation for some slides to replicate the IntelliSTAR (2004-2007)
- There are two Heat Safety Tips slides for indoors and outdoors, and two Traffic Report slides for people who want to have more than two traffic incidents/constructions impacting their area
- All slides will last for EXACTLY 10 seconds (except for the Radar products, the Regional and Local Radar slides last for 16 seconds each, and the Radar Satellite slide last for 8 seconds)

Features (National Forecast):
- You can tell it's a three minute flavour by realizing there are 18 slides in total, all slides lasting for 10 seconds
- The DayPart Forecast, Severe Weather Warnings, Precipitation Forecast, and Thunderstorm Forecast screens are completely remade from the IntelliSTAR (2005-2011 / Emergency Feed)
- The 3 Day Forecast for 50 states' capitals, with help from (https://home-school.lovetoknow.com/50_States_and_Capitals_in_Alphabetical_Order), has been included in this presentation, known as "Fifty Capitals Forecast". There is no plan to recreate the regional forecast or the Radar Satellite

Also, this package has the default background (you can change the background as many times as you want, since I made a 50% transparent table on products to prevent ruining the picture), a LDL (this was put in the bottom of the local forecast on all slides by default as a 11.02 x 1.27, but it's up to you to finish it because I didn't want to ruin the picture), and the Station ID and Local Forecast intro (you may notice they are the exact videos in my above post in 640x480 resolution). The font in this emulator is Hit The Road. If you don't have Hit The Road, then download it, it's in the package as well. You do not have to use this font if you do not want to, but using this font is highly recommended for best experience (for some computers...).

There's a password for the SQUEAK-X1 as well. The local and national forecast passwords are EXACTLY the plain d@mn same: imback1

Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/re3of95v5j4g458/SQUEAK-X1.zip/file

Here's a video! (forecast starts @ 0:28): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/DipRgslIhZM" target="_blank" class="new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/DipRgslIhZM</a>

Stay tuned for SQUEAK-X1 videos soon!

This IntelliSTAR/Local Forecast Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHF-3tTeZwQ) has a picture of Bensalem's (Bucks County's) WeatherScan at the very last second of the video, for a split second. Luckily I managed to capture that, and it's here

^{I honestly doubt anyone even visits this site anymore, but here goes...}

I was planning on forking & fixing up the Weatherscan HTML5 emulator, as well as editing the appearance to look more like the V1 Intellistar version instead of the V2 Intellistar version (I never really liked the LDL features everywhere-- I felt they crowded up the screen too much). However, I never really got to it (blame my procrastination & checking social media every 5 minutes for that).

These are mockups for said planned fixup. They are presented in the original 720x480 resolution used for the Intellistar. Some elements may appear stretched.

Weatherscan Intellistar V1 Current Conditions (normal screen):


Weatherscan Intellistar V1 Current Conditions (severe weather mode):


Made in Affinity Photo.

I made the weather bulletin in the style of the Weatherscan Intellistar V1, mainly because I was bored but also because I wanted to see what it would look like for my area.

The gradient's weird, but I don't know how TWC made theirs to stand out so well, so at least I can say I tried.

...and the extended forecast. Made when I was reminded of Jaden wanting something like this but for the Weatherscan Intellistar V2. Data accurate as of the timestamp.

Wyatt, I love your work!

My Station ID (Local Forecasts)
The narration came from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEvAYfZPa4w
The background came from Google Images,
And the logo, the cable provider, and all the rest are all created by me (Except for the Local Weather ID).

My Local Forecast Intro
The background came from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys1w9A4DrO4
The music came from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkovAca_G_g
The narration was created by me in Google Translate using Bandicam (edited in Camtasia Studio)
(There's a subtitle option for people who don't know what she's saying or for people who lost their hearing)
And the logo, the cable provider, and the two pieces of text (at the end) are all also created by me.

Sorry about deleting the post with my WeatherSTAR XL emulator release. I decided to update my WeatherSTAR XL emulator.

New features:

- Animations
- Custom TWC logo
- The Weather Bulletin's text changed from white and (almost) lowercase letters to red and (all) uppercase letters
- Air Quality Forecast, Record Temperatures, and Heat Safety Tips screen added (although I had the "Heat Safety Tips" screen on my 7th custom XL emulation)
- The Tides & Marine Forecast's, and the Record Temperatures's texts are moved to the left to make room for the logo
- The weekend days on the outlook forecast and the week ahead are changed from black to yellow

You can download my custom WeatherSTAR XL emulator on MediaFire or by clicking on the attachment below!

Weatherscan Discussion / Any more Weatherscan unit pictures?

« on: March 01, 2019, 12:26:54 PM »

I found this picture on WeatherScan's facebook yesterday. It's the Chicago O'Hare Int'l Weatherscan unit from January 8, 2006.
