The concept is a hybrid of the HD graphics and the current XL graphics. So far. Only the current conditions screen is completed.

I enjoyed checking out what you have created so far. This contribution towards this contest definatly showcases what me and others would enjoy seeing when the LF runs! At some point between today and tomorrow I will make available to anyone who is working on this contest a template set so your graphics will overlay properly with the XL text and elements, however I will not post this directly to the forum. I will make a post once I have this available.

Ultimately with this contest I encourage original designs, while current and past graphics used are good, I would like to see original ideas!

Contributions / Contest: Weather Star XL Graphics

« on: August 18, 2009, 08:41:17 AM »

Please note, this contest is for anyone who has a good hand and eye at graphics design.
Heres how the contest goes:
Congrats! You have been hired to create a new background and animation sequences for the legacy Weather Star XL platform, more notibly, the Local Forecast presentation! Its up to you and your imagination to create captivating graphics that anyone tuning into the channel will see when its time for the Local On The 8's!

When designing graphics, you may use the current on-air graphics, or you can use a collaboration of your own personal ideas. There is only two limitations to your project: You may not change the location where the product text and graphics are displayed, and you can not create products in which the XL does not support. This limitation is intact to keep the product content's uniform from canidate to canidate to select a winner.

The contest winner (by poll vote) will be able to see their graphics in-action on our live XL stream!

If you are interested in working on a project like this, drop a reply to show your interest!

Good Luck!

i dont understand what you mean "with no overlay"..
when TWC transfered from the old maps to the new maps, my emulator seemlessly worked with the new maps without any configuration, as with them now being Bing maps!

it appears as though you figured out your issue because your emulator is 'polling home'. please detail your issue and how you resolved it so others can learn how to solve issues similar to yours.

Latest Release Information / Emulator Release - June 2009

« on: June 20, 2009, 04:19:17 PM »

This is simply a required maintence release. The update is to ensure that everyone is on the same page with the emulator as with the current development. The January release (and its update) of the emulator expired May 20th. To continue using the emulator, follow these steps.
-Login to CINE: http://copper.yi.org:21863
-Go to downloads and keys
-If you do not have the emulator installed on your computer (or now wish to use a new computer), install the main emulator release.
-Download the "June Update" archive, and extract it to: C:\wsxl
-Run the SetAffiliate program to set your ID. (This is required or else the emulator will crash on start!)
-Run the emulator itself. (Key dialog will appear to 'Get a Key')

Enjoy!

Side note:
The XL export function is infact built into this emulator release, however it is not enabled in this public build. If you would like to take advantage of the export function, contact me through PM.

Also, Alot of people are looking for a better and streamlined method to signup to use the emulator than to message Martin directly. I will create a form that you may fill out to fulfill that request, and once approved, you will have an established login. This will speed up the signup process by 100^24 fold.

Leave questions, comments, etc about this release in this thread, no signup requests!
