Help and Support / Re: Fatal weatherscan emulator problem??

« on: May 23, 2014, 01:04:04 PM »

It occurs after "your boating forecast" on the update screen and says the following:
"Runtime error '-2147220850 (8004028e)':
File Open error

It displays a black screen where the emulation should be and plays the music normally.

Apparently the boat and beach is bugged. That's what caused the error.

Help and Support / Fatal weatherscan emulator problem??

« on: May 23, 2014, 12:53:32 PM »

I tried running the emulator after finally getting every config finished. It displayed the screen that said Weather Star XL and it ran as normal. Then, an error message popped up and my cursor started glitching out. I had to shut down my computer. What happened??

While we're on the subject of the emulator, is there any way to sign up right now, or is it in some development phase?

I took a shot at making one in photoshop, I as well found the official font used which is "Akko Light".

I'm not a programmer (I don't know how  ), but I would like to beta test upon beta release.

I could be wrong, but I think all the emulator projects here are long dead.

Hm. Didn't know that. That's sad

I have been waiting for weeks for someone to authorize my info (username/password) after I sent the info to TWCToday via PM. Is the emulator version being developed or what?

Local Forecast / Re: Connecting a WS Jr. To PC

« on: April 08, 2014, 09:03:17 PM »

Thanks for your advice! My operating system on the PC is a 2001 edition Windows XP.

I'm not that good w/ this stuff anyway so some things get confusing..

Local Forecast / Connecting a WS Jr. To PC

« on: April 07, 2014, 11:16:12 PM »

It says very clearly in my manual that I needed to connect them via null modem cable and when the PC powers on to press enter 2 times. I did this and it did nothing to show up the crawl message terminal. Any help?   

Below is a very quick drawing of my setup. (I draw WAY better in real life.)

Local Forecast / Re: Station ID segment? Should it return?

« on: April 07, 2014, 11:14:08 PM »

I wouldn't mind having the Local Weather ID appear at some point on the LDL.    I do agree that the ID should appear for technical reasons because it's very useful for TWC's tech support if a viewer needs to report errors with their LOT8s.

Should the part where it shows the cable/satellite provider be returned though?

True, but it could help people report STAR problems to their cable company, maybe. It is attractive, you do have to admit!

Two very good points.  I agree with you 100% on the first one, but I'm sure there must be another place they can put the ID.  How about in the corner of the screen during the clock segment of the local forecast?

You know, that would be a good place. Nice thinking.

Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion

Does TWC stop using those jokes and comments on the IS and IS2 local forecast intro page during severe weather or just stop them in the areas effected?

Though I'm not in a severe weather area I am still getting those comments on my IS.
They should really turn them off during severe weather coverage.

Agree completely. Severe weather isn't a joke, and TWC shouldn't make it one with the pre-LOT8's jokes.

Banned because no one else has posted in this game at all this year until now.

Banned because I feel like it.
