[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
Im currently working on a flash that display the Manila 3D weather animations.

The idea is to have that on M2D, on the operator tab or something, it would require changing it so that it could read flash and a "load registry" command, like this EXE has. If you know some way of doing this, please post here. ;)

To use this EXE you'll need Flash 7 (lite may also work, but im not sure) and M2D with the weather already configurated (because this reads the registry values from M2D).

The download is quite large (16mb) because of the animations, so I wasnt able to post it here, you have the download link below.

I'd like to thank Rumball for giving me permission to use his animations and The_hesham for pushing this idea.

To use, place it all on your /Storage Card/Program Files/W3D and create a shortcut for the EXE (with resco explorer or something). This path can be changed in the registry since v4 or thru the settings menu since V5. You can also change the language by translation the DATA.TXT file (more info on the V5 "whats new" area).

One thing I noticed, the m2d conversion from Farenheight to celsius is slightly incorrect... Only the farenheight measure is recorded on the registry, so if you choose celsius, m2d makes this conversion: (farenheight - 32) / 1.8 = celsius

But if the result is, for example, between 12.1 or 12.9 the value shown is always 12º. My conversion rounds up anything above 0.5 to +1.0. I think thats the way it should be. And thats why you get different results in M2D and this app.

If you'd like to help, please tell me how to attach this to M2D somehow...

To do:

--------

read "last update was on...?" info, need to understand the registry code...

update now button

add city (this is not going to be easy)

m2d integration (how? please help me)

---//---

VERSION 2

-----------------

Lots and lots and lots of bugfixes!

Still limit of 10 cities for now (does anyone know if there is a limit on m2d?)

I think all the weather info and icons are now correct... (Showaco, you rock!)

You can click on the icon to see the animation again.

Stiil no "last updated on" info

Added a txt datafile to future language translations.

I think I'll add the smaller icons on the bottom now... And when you click them they could appear as big, what do you think?

Download v2 (16Mb): http://rapidshare.com/files/202544328/W3D.zip

---//---

VERSION 3:

---------------

Added clickable 4 day weather bottom mini-icons.*

Cleaned up the code a bit

Fixed some fonts to be more visible

Added loading screen (very quick)

Changed the refresh button (its actually useless at this point, it should be used to update on the near future)

Re-added the county name after the city name, I was removing itat first, but it looks helpfull if you have many cities...

*The bottom 4 days when clicked just do the animation, they dont appear on fullscreen, because the m2d info only has the high and low temperature, not the medium, so my calculations would not be accurate.

---//---

Small update V4:

----------------

Cleaned up some code (Thank you Im@gine_pt).

Added option to change the path of the icons/wallpaper/data language thru the registry in :HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\W3D\PATH = /Storage Card/Program Files/W3D (this is the default path created the first time you run it).

Added some key codes: Right replays the main animation, left replays the small animations, enter exits the app.

---//---

New version 5:

-------------------

Fixed a bug on icon nº 19 (thanks for the tip jazenf).

Removed some (now) obsolete code.

Added full language configuration on data.txt, you can create your own language* and post here for me to add to the final version.

Added abillity to create your own pack of icons*.

Added new settings button, where you can change the name of iconset, language, background, celsius and program path... no need for you to mess with the registry manually.

NOTE: The keyboard is hidden by default, you need to click on a text area for it to pop-up.

Removed refresh button, but you can still refresh thru the settings, just press OK.

Changed DATA.TXT to allow the new language changes.

---//---

Small update v5b:

-------------------

Small bug fixed reading the language data files (still a little buggy).

removed the .jpg and .txt extensions from the settings (easier to update).

Added extra languages as a separated zip attached here.

To use, just download V2 (if you didn't already) and update the EXE (and other files) with the ones attached on this post. :)

Enjoy...
