This is downright perfect! works with all tsk files refreshes instantly... :D now it is ready to be packaged.

I will do tat later tonight. I might just use the mortscript cab and add the new files to it, add te reg setings for the analogue clock (so that the digital from mega doesnt cover up the weather) and add the larger weather icons in a zip file with the needed weather tab modifications in manila xml next time.

I think that the reason people had trouble intalling the lat cab wa the new weather icons. I believe tat when manila files are set @ read only system files, and they might need to be overwritten via activesync.

Thi is so exciting! now, skinners will have something else to play with and we will have some really gorgeous weather gfx.

maybe at some point we even might figure out how to auto trigger the weather update, but so far you have done something trully amazing. and the conequinces of this thing (being so efficient) will reach a lot of rom cookers and skinners. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Thank you.

The only thing I have found close to what we want is where people are updating weather through the internet to get weather data for S2U2. I'll have to read about the weather fix for M2D and see if I can understand what they did to get different locations. Maybe we can add to this to go to that website and find all the data for M2D and we would have M2D updating in the background while we update the home page background. No more waiting for weather to refresh when you go to the tab. Of course this would increase data usage.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
there ha to be a way to trigger manila to do it by itself.

I think the dll that i responible for it is htcettings.dll. that i where I saw the weather panel reourses. I will look ino it when I have a little bit of time to concentrate. my family can be very distracting, epecially when having to move from one ide of the state to another. I think that there i going to be a "scheduled talk" tomorrow in which I (thankfully) will not have to partiipate. o I will go to SBUX and upload a new cab and look into which dll updates weather.

on the other hand, maybe the way to go about it i to repllace the registries for manila via mort itead of running the update it self.

for example reading the reg for the sellected city, hen downloading the information from the webite, then updating the manila registry... if that will actually update the manila weather tab i dont know... but it should. I will look into the dll. (I might have to clean under the keys of this keyboard. thi thing is pissing me off. I can spell ok, really... but thi keyboard apparently cant. might be just dirty. I hope.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
there is a minor problem.

about evr 5 min it tell me to update the weather becaue there appears to be no icon set. the picture is set to NoData and it doe not update without manualy running the script. maybe it is a god idea to remove the NoData file from the script. the weathr icon in the panel still shows the weather even if the data expired... so, in my oppinion the NoData is unnessesary. just make it more complicated..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
The nodata should only trigger if the registry for icon is "" as in empty. The 5 minutes is the limit to check for a value. I will look at that when I get a chance.

So far I have found a script that goes to accuweather and updates S2U2 registry values. I can use this as a guide to do the same for M2D.

Problem is M2D does not update image on tab if you change registry. It must create a dat file or something to save time from having to read all those registry values.

I have noticed when I go to the tab more than 2 hours after last update there is a slight pause and then it starts to update. There must be something that calls a routine to check the time versus the last update and decides to download weather.

I also found a cab that is supposed to update M2D weather, but it was removed. I pm'd the author.

See if this fixes the problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
I ran into the problem updating from nodata again tonight. had to run the script manualy.

also, if it is supposed to update every 5 min, it did not update 5 min later after I downloaded the weather. instead it just showed me that errror again about it not seeing the reg setting (which is there because manila goes back to the last weather icon if it had trouble updating.) which is yet another reason I think that nodata should be removed. It is too much trouble.

that cab that is supposed to trigger the manila to update would be pretty sweet. the script from s2u2 would be really cool too, but I am worried that it would be too complicated. The simpler it is the less things go wrong.

Idealy, the script should just watch the changes to the reg and immediately change the wallpaper as soon as the weather updates... In other words manila should trigger the script or the script should trigger the update then a min later update the wallpaper.

I am 100% convinced that we should leave the weather icon what it was instead of using the nodata as the default image.

I'll read the script again... maybe I will see something in it:confused:

EDIT: I'll test this one too gladly. :) What did you change?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
No go on the M2D update cab. He was updating the weather data registries from a different weather website. He did tell me how he got M2D to redraw the weather tab. Change status to 4 under weather in registry. It will redraw it in a few seconds.

I have started playing around with the registry. If I change date of lastupdate to something a long time ago and go to the weather tab it starts to update. I have a version running on my phone that changes the date and in the background moves the M2D tab to the weather tab and waits for the weather to update and then refreshes the home tab background. It would be nice to find a dll command or something to force the update without going to the weather tab. Maybe I'll get a version out with this change after I debug it some.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
there were a few downloads (17 so far) but I am surprised that there havent been any replys. maybe because it's the weekend.

I looked at the exe and dll's and nothing shows up in res hacker. o I have no idea what will update weather.

had an idea though, what i I was to make a dll (or edit one) that has all of the images in full scren 240 x 268 in gif format. is it posible to get the images out of the dll with mort?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
I cracked the nut.

See if this works. It should automatically update the weather first and then update the home tab.

Before you run it. stop the notification for he existing one in task manager. Then uncheck the background image in today settings.

You can go into the registry and change weather\0 icon to 22 and set weather status to 4 and exit task manager. Go to the weather tab and after a second it should refresh with a snow cloud.

Then run the script.

I still have \windows in the path so edit the script for your path.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
just so there is no conusion:

the manila weather icons HAVE to be in windows. the will not work otherwise.

the script can be loacated anywhere I assume, because I have been runing it from /Program Files/Mortscript while I haven't cooked this in yet.

In the manila gfx cab the script is located in /Windows/ManilaGFX and has shortcuts to /Start Menu/Programs and /Windows/Startup.

the script does not have to be edited. just the shortcuts if the script is in a different location.

I will try this script tomorrow when I have the time. right now I am driving ti Pittsburgh.

EDIT: Tested. Poitsitive results. It updated weather :)

I will keep this and see how well it ontinue to behave.

only weird sideeffect was the "unable to update" dialogue. but that went away in a short moment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nndd12:
can you make it for chome?

i would like this theme for my kaiser but im using the chome not the manila

can you make one for it?

thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
not really.

I have never seen an analogue clock that works.with CHome. one of the reasons I went back to manila. the other is that plugins are too much of a pain to install an cook in. I tried editing CAnalogue Clock and found the files to be very inefficient (file count) and when it would be 10:55 it would look like 9:55. if someone figures out how to incorporate Retro Clock as a plugin for CHome I deffinately will do whtever it takes to make a skin for it.

Sorry, but my tsk will have to do untill then. :(

in the meantime you can try our Manila :) especially since we are testing a script that autoupdates the weather! (also the filecount is much less and I am using performance enhancing tecniques to make the graphics :) )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Sorry, I was confused in my rush last night. I thought you had moved the weather icons to ManilaGFX.

The script can be anywhere, but cannot be moved after it starts because the notification que it generates will call it from the location it first ran. You can move it and run it again. It will delete the previous notification que and create a new one pointing to the new location.

That "unable to update" for the short moment is part of the trick to get M2D to refresh the weather.

One nice thing is it seems to run in the background if you have something open, so you do not see it jump to the weather tab and then return to the previous tab.

pp18's answers to my questions about his routine nudged me in the right direction to figure it out. Thank's again.

This is a work around to the fact we have not figured out how to force M2D to update weather completely in the background. So when M2D is active you see it jump to the weather tab and return to the previous tab.

I wish there was something that would create a log of what goes on in the background of the OS so we can see what gets called when the weather tab is activated and the weather is old enough to force an update.

I looked at a Diamond with TF3 and I cannot find the weather icons or a lot of things related to the Manila. So I am not sure we can make this work for other than M2D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
well, I was surprised to see e sun tis morning :p

this workaround works unattended.; which i more than I hoped for.

I am not worried about the data uage because I have unlimited data plan from Tmo for $20. in fact, I barely use my phone for anything other than data. However I keep hearing these rumors that other providers in other countries charge by the byte.. bummer.

Nevertheless, I think this last script is worth packaging as update 3. ?

I am going to try to figure out how to make an icon for the start menu at ome point by changing icon.dll to WxIcon.dll and replacing the icon inside. Maybe even make a png icon for 6.5 (though I do not think it nesesary)

I have to concentrate on something a little bit more important at this moment; like getting my resume to a job placement program so I can start making some cash asap. (yes still)

I also have to write a tutorial about making "performance enhancing" gfx for programs; which is something I have been wanting to do for a really long time.

well, got to get to it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
I remembered REGLogger. Here is a log of the phone connected to my PC and moving to the weather tab and selecting update now. I only see Manila2D.exe doing stuff, but cannot figure it out. Anyone have ideas of what is being called or done to cause the weather update to occur?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
It might be that simple. activating the widget might be the very thing that triggers the update. maybe there is nothing else to it. also, I dont believe that registry will capture what the actuall proces does. the only way to know that i to watch the ram it self.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
No new processes start up. So it must be all within the manila2d.exe functions as shown in the reglogger.

So it seems this current way is the only way I can figure out for now to force an update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
I uploaded the mega manila exe to be hacked to downlload more cities in the mega manila thread. alo asked who ever does te patching to have a look if there i a way to make it auto update ilently. maybe there is a way.. however I like the way you managed to do it just a well. ofcoure it would be better if it onl updated once every hour. it seem to frequent at this point, or maybe I jut lok at my phone at thoe times.

I personally think that this is no longer a beta. it tested with very consistent results so far.

need to upload a new package with new directions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
At the top of the script you can change the time.

#########################################
# USER SETTINGS, CHANGE AS DESIRED
#
# how often to check the weather icon
delayHours = 0.25
#
# File path to your M2D weather wallpaper
FilePath="\windows\"
#
#########################################

Change delay hours to 1 instead of 0.25
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
makes sense. :D

I cooked it in last night. works flawless. had to exeute mort first to get the asociations.

I hope that more people get interested in this. I would love to see more skins for this. My father's wife just came back to US and he knows quite a few meteorologists. maybe she can point me in the right direction to get even better pictures :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pp18:
@RoryB

nice to know that your app is done now. :)

the weather tab in M3D is VERY different from that in HH/M2D. if you want to implement the same thing for M3D, it involves at least the following troubles:

1. cannot use mortscript to read the M3D weather data as it's stored inside a sqlite .db file. i guess you'd rather get the cityid from registry, connect to a weather data source to get the .xml, and then parse the data on your own.

2. it's much more troublesome to refresh the weather tab. there's no longer the status '4' workaround. so far the only workaround i've found is to restart the whole manila. -_-!

3. the wallpaper in the m3d is not a normal .jpg/.png file but 2 custom *_manila files. we also can't reuse those *_manila files of the weather tab. in order to implement the animations, one weather icon is composed of multiple *_manila files. e.g. the cloudy icon is 1 sun + 2 cloud files.

after all, no worry. m3d 2.6 is coming, in which the current weather icon is moved to the home tab. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Updated post 2 with a shorter flicker to getting the weather updated. Of course the flicker only shows up if you are looking at M2D otherwise it runs in the background of whatever else you may have open.

I have been trying to update my weather page on my wizard so it will pick up my city. (Davenport, Iowa) is not on the list. the closest city to me on the list is Peoria, Il.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
I am not sure, but I do not think the M2D version 23 was tweaked for the weather. Had you already done the edit of the xml for adding your city? What have you tried so far?

Looking for version 23 with weather patch, unless the one S.V.I gave me was already patched.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
@ RoryB

there is a new version of manila weather xml editor in the dev-hack section. If you are still using manila 23 in your rom it is probably the one hacked for weather by CRACING. So if you want more cities, you can edit the xml or try this manila 2D weather editor (i belieeve it was updated today) in fact, I am about to try the new version of it my self in a minute .

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:

First of all, witch one is the patched one V1 or V2?

And me to have the same problem with no cities showing up in the list.

The problem was allready there before started to change my xml or my manila.exe files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jonnyj771:
not sure...I would have to ask Rory B since he's the one that cooked this rom up. I believe it's the most recent version, but don't really know.

I went back to the weather cities and took out my changes. It is working again now. but still don't have my home city's weather available. i'm not sure what to do next. anyone have any insight?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
This Mortscript reads the registry to get weather icon number from the first weather city in your list. It does not do any weather checking. It does trick M2D to check the weather without you having to go to the weather tab to get an update.

Your conversation sounds like you need to be on the thread about weather xml editor. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=554857

v1 and v2 are the same except one was not unsigned before editing, but both have been signed for software permission after editing.

QVGA vs. VGA

I have been wondering if my problem this entire time is the fact that my device is a vga device and not a qvga which can make a "huge" difference in why my weather city is not showing up, and why i have so many problems upgrading m2d. could this be my issue?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
For those of you that do not want weather on the today background, but want to have weather update automatically in the "background". Remove the ".txt" copy to PDA and run script.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] D1n0:
I've been searching now for a long time to find a solution for automatically updating the weather in background on WM6.5.

I've reviewed your script, but the registry structure seems to be changed in manila 2.1 on WM6.5. Can't find any information about the actual visible manila page and so on in the registry.

I don't have any solution yet, but maybe someone has the samel problem with manila 2.1 and has additional information.

hello

I have a small problem with the weather. I have Ryrzy rom 6.5 21876_m2d, it is working the update of the weather, but untill next update the picture will not be change.(if i will update now the weather I will have the moon picture untill next update, even if it will be after 3 days). The same problem is in Home tab and in weather tab.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
this setup is for manila 1.5 not the one from mega. if you are running the older version and have problems updating the weather tab then you have a problem with your manila. the script updates the home screen wallpaper from the weather tab. so there is your problem. get your weather tab updated then then your wallpaper will update too.

Sounds like a bad install. How did you add manila to your ROM?

The script checks the registry setting of manila that indicates the weather image it is showing on the weather tab. If the registry value is empty, you get that error message. Does the weather image show on your weather tab?
