    I also had the access error on shutdown. Upgraded to 6.0.5 and it was gone...

    Hope that helped,

    i got it working by using task schedule...i guess its not a big deal.

    However, is there a way to make a certain script automatically start with the program? It keeps defaulting to Dolly.

    One way is to rearange the script, the other is to wait a while until I release the next megascript, it has that option :)

    Actually it's almost finished, but it has so many things in it I guess there have to be a manual how to use it lol :D

    I plan to put few more useful functions, for drawing a chart for example, so doing a core2duo CPU usage chart (screen split in two graphs for each CPU) would be much easier. And...few more functions for making your life happier if you want to create popup scripts that come out when some event happens (battery gets low, GPU temp gets high, etc. ). Standby few days ;)

    What you have to understand is that my megascript focus is on the functionality, not the visuals. The code inside is a whole state-machine system, that works for you, so you don't need to handle complex stuff like reading each button state in each script or calculating which is the next/previous script in the menu. I've made it simple but at the same time powerful - you only add one function to an ordinary script and you got it working with the rest of the system. If you can't understand what I'm talking about - look at cbap's script - yeah it's great and it works, but it's a plain code - to add something in there you have to browse at least 10 minutes to just find where to put it, then think of a way to connect it with the rest of the system.

    So - if you really want a wmp script - you should take 30 minutes of your time and make it your own, then add it to the megascript.

    By holding Ctlr and dragging a script in the list. Then you have to change it's name in the "Init" list (the variable MenuNames)

    Might i suggest that you label the buttons in the settings windows, kinda hard to have to click each one to see what it does.

    Also, didnt see anything to rename the script...can you please elaborate as to how to do this?

    Sorry to ask so many questions, however this isnt really user friendly and it seems to be alot more then just doing 1-2 simple things.

    LCDHype is not mine, I'm not responsible for its interface, anyway, there's a help in it that answers all your questions.

    To rename a script you edit the text in the "ID" box, right above the script code. To rename the whole SD (script definition - that is the whole set of scripts in the list) - the "SD ID" box above the script list.

    Predator, when using your script in the gamer graph thing, with the big clock, when it hit a new minute (right after :59) it blinks quickly, where it shows the default OLED (direct console).. this makes me react like it is a new message on msn and quite bug me.. is there any way to fix this?

    No, you won't. In the new Megascript it can be done, when someone sends you a message, the screen shows you who is writing the message and the first message he sends you (like "RebDK says: hello, how are you").

    The new Megascript is still under developement (we are doing it with a friend of mine, adding new scripts, enhancing functions etc.), so it will take some more time until it's out. I promise it will be a bomb, it has everything you'll ever need inside ;)

    Yes, it's possible to show VUs, there are two screens in the new megascript that do that. Patience, friends :D

    Guys really needs some help.

    I've been working on this for 4 days now and come across the same problem everytime. I have a new Asus G1SN with Geforce 9500M GS card. I have installed the older version of LCDHYPE overlaid the new 0.6 files. and am trying to run Predators mega script. Everything works fine apart from GPU temp. It displays "not available" over "CPU temp C" causing the OLD to look scrambled text.

    Anyway i have everest ultimate running, and have shared the CPU and GPU temps. The GPU temp is displaying fine in Everest so i know it works. I have the everest plugin installed.

    What else am i missing?

    Also tried running Cbaps scripts, which work great apart from the GPU temps again!!! I looked at his scripting and noticed it refered to Nvidia plugins. So downloaded it and installed by way of unzipping into plugins\nvidia.

    This is driving me crazy, please help !!!!

    1. GLED problem - your DirectConsole is not running, but if installed, it runs D3DCheck.exe, which actually flashes the Gaming LEDs, open your Start -> Run -> type msconfig -> go to startup items, find and disable D3DCheck.exe if it's there. The other solution is to just uninstall Direct Console.

    2. The GPU temp problem - in the scripts that it doesn't work, search for this line:
    Code:
    %UsePlugin('everest\everest.dll'....
    
    It should be something like this, after which it has a value TGPU1 (or whatever), try using TGPU1DIO instead and it should work. The problem comes from different Everest Ultimate versions, older ones export the GPU temperature with TGPU1 string, newer export it with TGPU1DIO.

    About that Gaming LED plugin, until the Megascript 2.0 is released, I can advice you to go to http://lcdhype.de/index.php?showtopic=4746 , download it, the use the second example code in one of your winamp script (just copy it and paste it over the whole Winamp script). You will have your GLED flashing with the bass :)

    Well, me and Adolfo Tregosa are doing some minor changes and adding stuff to it, we have to rewrite some parts cleaner, we are gonna separate the Main script to parts (headers) so it should be easier to edit (from one without much knowledge about it) if needed. Right now we have everything working but I have no spare time to finish it, Adolfo on his side too

    Somehow I hadn't seen where Predator MF's Gaming LED plugin was first posted till today. So I made a simple script that uses the LCDFraps plugin and the Gaming LED plugin to function as though they were Direct Console.

    Using this script will cause side LEDs, the touchpad, and the mail LED to flash whenever more than 10FPS are detected. I chose 10FPS because somehow LCDHype automatically displays 2-9FPS while running (this may be why Direct Console flashes the side LEDs when LCDHype runs). When 10 or less FPS are detected the side and mail LEDs will turn off, while the touchpad will stay lit without flashing.

    To add this into existing scripts, simply paste the header lines into the header, and the GfxMode lines into the GfxMode.
    Code:
    #Header
    %Common.SetPriority(100)
    %DefVar(state=0)
    #EndHeader
    
    #GfxMode%If(%UsePlugin(LCDFraps\lcdfraps.dll,) > 10))
       Then{%UsePlugin('GLED\GLED.dll','LED', 0, %state()/status/)
       %If(%state() = 0)
         Then{%Assign(state, 1)}
         Else{%Assign(state, 0)}
       Else{%UsePlugin('GLED\GLED.dll','LED', 1, %state()/status/)
       %If(%state() = 1)
         Then{%Assign(state, 0)}
         Else{%Assign(state, 1)}}
       Else{%UsePlugin('GLED\GLED.dll','LED', 2, %state()/status/)
       %If(%state() = 1)
         Then{%Assign(state, 0)}
         Else{%Assign(state, 1)}}}
    %If(%UsePlugin(LCDFraps\lcdfraps.dll,) < 11)
     Then{%UsePlugin('GLED\GLED.dll',LED, 0, 1)
          %UsePlugin('GLED\GLED.dll',LED, 1, 0)
          %UsePlugin('GLED\GLED.dll',LED, 2, 0)}
    %KeyCheck()
    #EndGfxMode 
    Here's my previous FPS&Clocks script which has been modified with the above code. It uses the LCDFraps and the Gaming LED plugins to show FPS and flash LEDs, and the Everest plugin to show the GPU temperature and clocks.

    With this, there really isn't much need for Direct Console.

    thanks.. really... its not that i dont appriciate what you are doing. Really not one of those who enjoy other ppls works. Have been trying my hand at LCDHype scripting. Hope to make something worthwhile.

    Another reason that i am quite anxious at the script as i just had my G1Sn delivered so u can understand the rush ur going through when u get a new laptop. :)

    I just wanted to say a huge thanks to predator for all your work. This is sweet. I just got my Asus this weeknd, and this kicks butt. I can't get it to auto change on startup:
    %DefVar(Autochange, Global=10)
    %DefVar(AutochangeFire, Global=10)

    but i don't mind some minor work. (menu keys don't seemt o work 100% of the time). I'm impressed and can't wait for MegaScript 2.0. Also if you want I'm more than willing to make a donation for all your hard work, to show how much I appreciate it. PM me some info (paypal, addy, whatev) and we'll make something happen.

    Edit * I think I got it

    Code:
     %DefVar(Autochange, Global=2)
     %DefVar(AutochangeFire, Global=0)
    
    This is the index of the array.
    Global = 0 => Off
    Global = 1 => 5 s
    Global = 2 => 10 s
    Global = 3 => 15 s

    Also I noticed the that CPU temp script was a little slow. I found the same line in the GPU Temp.
    Code:
    line 68:    %If(%RTime() > 10000)Then{
     change to =>
     %If(%RTime() > [B]100[/B])Then{

    A suggestion: the name of PredatorMF and a link to his original post on this thread should be put in the first paragraph of your post on the ASUS website, and not at the bottom.

    Otherwise, it becomes unclear who deserves the credit :)

    I haven't seen DC 2.0, I can't find it for download, but what can be better than LCDHype + G-series OLED driver + Megascript and the abillity to fully customize it, make your own screens with (really) everything you think of!

    There's no need for that, the Megascript is already working as a standalone application :)

    Thanks :)

    hmm Predator_MF i guess the G70 is very expensive ^^
    i think the g70 oled screen is bigger than G1S

    Predator_MF i have a question about the winamp plugin. i always need to start the visualisation plugin to get it work. is there any solution to make this plugin goes to generals plugins for autobooting when winamp start ?

    sorry if my english is corrupt ^^

    I don't know a way to start the Winamp-plugin automatically....

    You can instead assing a hotkey to start (toggle) it (preferences -> plugins -> general -> global hotkeys), I've assigned Ctrl+Shift+K...also, the new version of the megascript is able to detect if it's started, and if it is, it shows the winamp screens, else it skips them (which is very cool).

    PS: I'm almost done with the cleaning of the The Megascript v2.0, standby :D

    Hi @ all !

    I was surprised, cause nothing to find of the G70 OLED in the net ...
    It only shows me this "ROG" logo and in direct console 2.0 it is not to control.
    (option "message" is always grey - inactive)

    A new setup of vista ultimate x64 and all of its drivers was not successful.

    so what shall i do to see this cool informations of bat, cpu, etc..?

    thx !

    There is that tutorial post by Predator some pages ago. It's linked directly from the Info Booth, if you click on the link in my sig and search "OLED".

    It doesn't work with G70 yet, I have contacted only one G70 owner so far and he helped as much as he could. The G70 OLED is slightly different, I made the driver *almost* work with it, but I need more information, like for starter, the pixel size of the screen (is it 128x32 or... ? )

    Yes, of course, just remove those scripts from the MenuNames list (in the first script you will see a list of all scripts available in the megascripts)
