Looks like the i2 emulator has moved to https://intellistar2.app/settings in case if anyone was wondering what had happened to it.

Ok-- here is my story.
So I came across the Weatherscan Project as seen on GitHub here.

I got inspired and decided to remake TWC's old local on the 8s System.

View the simulation here.
Download and Customize it here (GitHub Page)

Let me know if you have any questions  :happy:

Static icons are available at https://github.com/qconrad/intellistar-emulator/tree/master/assets/icons/conditions. You would have to convert all of these to PNGs if you're using a program that doesn't support vector images..

This is a very good move. They haven't been on the air this late in the day since 2013. Now if only they could add a couple extra hours on weekends too... guess we can't ask for too much. Better just take what we can get.

Local Forecast / Re: Local Forecast video clips that were on the old TWC Today website

If anybody has any of those videos, please post them somewhere. I especially want to see the IntelliStar clips from Omaha in May 2004 and the one from Pittsburgh from August 1, 2006, those were favorite videos of mine since I was 10 years old.

Local Forecast / Re: Question about songs airing on multiple flavors in the 1990s
« Last post by Dylan on July 06, 2024, 05:18:20 PM »
There's something else I've noticed, consistently, "Outside Solaris" by "Clifford Marshall Van Buren" played as an M flavor, but consistently used the L flavor narration, do you know what happened? Did it eventually play as an L with the L narration, was the narration eventually corrected for the M or did it keep playing as an M with L narration? And do you know how that song worked on the 3000 with its narration?

My guess is that the song was initially selected as a L, but they changed it to a M at the last minute. I'm not sure how the narration worked back then. Whether it was recorded on to the song or added every time the song aired. Either way, when they changed it from a L to a M, they didn't bother to change the narration.

I've heard that the narration was hard wired into the LF music. But I think you're right, it was originally selected as an L, then changed to an M, and they didn't bother to edit the song clip to have the proper narration. I wonder if this confused people watching at the time who weren't avid STAR fans and wondered why the narration had nothing to do with what products were shown on the screen.
