G50V - Anyone find a use for the OLED display?

Yep, FRAPS has this setting in FPS tab on the right, there's an option to select where FRAPS will display the FPS counter - top left, right, bottom left, right...and "disabled"

 

Sorry I don't have that option. I'm using the version that came with the SICOPOLY MegaScriptV34 pack, 1.9C.
I can only select corners but not disable.
As far as I can tell this version was released to be used with LCDHype so I guess it is on a diet.
Link to a better version?

 

Google it, I'm using 2.9.4., works with LCDHype's plugin

 

Here is the HotFix!

HotFix Update LCDFraps version

The only thing you have to do is download, unzip, stop LCDHype(Very important) and use install.bat!

 

Ok thanks, I'll give it a try next weekend, I'm heading abroad this week.

 

Hi Predator_MF and SICOPOLY. I'm hoping you guys can help me. I've downloaded SICOPOLY's version of the megascript v3.4 and have been slowly editing it these last 2 weeks, so far so good, but I've just run into a small snag.

I'm trying to remove scripts that I don't like/use and I've run into a small problem; whenever I try to remove the winamp scripts I don't want and the loop passes the 1 winamp script I leave to run, it won't loop back to the first script, so it effectively runs the "debug" script in SICOPOLY's megascript v3.4 and gets stuck there.

I'm wondering if you kind gentlemen (or gentlewomen, heh), could help me figure out why so that I may fix it and get it working 100% as I want it to.

 

I think you didn't delete tihis lines from the main script!!!
/ Menu list /
%DefList(MenuNames,Global)
/ Place the names of your scripts here !!! /
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Dolly Clock')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'HDD(C:\)')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'HDD(D:\)')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'WiFi Network')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'LAN Network')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'CPU Graph')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'CPU Temp Graph')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'GPU Temp Graph')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Overclocker')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Battery')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Skype Status')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'MSN Status')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Winamp Peaks')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Winamp Peaks 2')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Winamp Oscillator')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Winamp Bars')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Winamp Bars/Stereo')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'SicoWinamp')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Weather')
/ uncomment to add the example script (and restart the System.Main script) /
/%List.Add(MenuNames,'Example Script')/


If you want to delete scripts you have to delete it and this lines!

 

I actually did, mine looks like this:

/ Menu list /
%DefList(MenuNames,Global)
/ Place the names of your scripts here !!! /
%List.Add(MenuNames,'HDD(C:\)')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'WiFi Network')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'LAN Network')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Overclocker')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Skype Status')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'MSN Status')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Winamp Peaks')

But when I launch LCDHype, it stops at System.Main and my LCD is blank. If I start the LCDHype with my last working modification to the megascript:

/ Menu list /
%DefList(MenuNames,Global)
/ Place the names of your scripts here !!! /
%List.Add(MenuNames,'HDD(C:\)')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'WiFi Network')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'LAN Network')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Overclocker')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Skype Status')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'MSN Status')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Winamp Peaks')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Winamp Peaks 2')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Winamp Oscillator')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Winamp Bars')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'Winamp Bars/Stereo')
%List.Add(MenuNames,'SicoWinamp')

The it works perfectly.

 

Don't delete this line:

I already explained there's a bug in LCDHype, when you remove the "/" character, the whole megascript breaks. The workaround this is if you do delete this line, make sure you add one "/" character in (only) one of the names of any other scripts you have, in your case make last line %List.Add(MenuNames,'Winamp/Peaks')

I know this bug is very annoying, it took me two days to find it out, the megascript code is kinda big to find such issue. There's an excessive "/" character in one of the scripts that causes this bug, but I couldn't find it out, so the best thing to do is just keep that / in Bars/Stereo

 

Predator_MF, you are just simply brilliant. I must admit, I didn't read the entire thread 100%; it being so long and all. I did glance at a few pages without reading too much into every post, I'm sorry I missed your explanation of this bug.

Now I have the script working perfectly the way I want it to. I'll look into the code and see if I can't find the excessive "/" and root it out; if I do I'll post it here for all to enjoy.

Thank you again.

 

I'm having similar issues with the forecast values, and I wonder if it is the same problem you are having, Papa. My region code is GB0KM1148. I looked at the webpage addresses that the plugin uses to grab the data, and I think I have found the problem. But, I have no way of fixing it!

Look at the forecast for my region:
http://lcdhype.condense.de/stuff/php/weather/forecast.php?id=GB0KM1148

and compare it to Berlin:
http://lcdhype.condense.de/stuff/php/weather/forecast.php?id=DE0001020

For some reason, the variables for my region are all missing their first letters! Does anybody know how to get this sorted? I have tried to get on the LCDHype message boards, but account registration is closed (and my messages to the administrators requesting registration have been ignored to this point)

 

That is definitely one big difference. However, the variables for mine seem to be intact: http://lcdhype.condense.de/stuff/php/weather/forecast.php?id=US0MD0017

 

A new version of the plugin has been posted on:

http://lcdhype.condense.de/index.php?showtopic=4919

It solved my problems with the forecasts, but I'm not sure it will solve yours, Papa. But, it might not hurt to give it a try.

 

Thanks, that solved a few things. For example, I actually see Today's temperature, hPa, and relative humidity. Still -1° for the next day, NA for Wind, and -1% for Rain, but it's better than what it was.

 

Great to see people using the OLED for so much stuff We even have games for it lol

 

I'm sure you did this, but you may want to be sure to verify your script now that you have updated your plugin. The way it pulls the forecast information has changed. For instance:

Code:

%UsePlugin('LCDWeather\lcdweather.dll',%ID(),Forecast,1,0,RainfallP)

Is the new method of getting the Precip Probability for tomorrow at the 0 DayTime. Anyway, be sure to check the new help file for the new formatting rules.

 

Which game???

 

This one, from KilledKenny

 

Lol!
xD

 

Hey all, I just upgraded my G50 VT-X6 to windows 7 and now my script that I had been suing has some problems that have not been able to solve. I used a script that had been posted earlier and made a few tweaks to it. I am using LCDHype 0.6 (Do I need to upgrade?).
Here are my problems:
1) CPU % stays at 0
2) When plugged in, the battery display should say Charged or charging, but it displays -1 which means that it can't find it I think
3) The screen saver gets stuck on randomly and I must go in and restart the script

Here is the script that I have been running

Code:

#Header
 
    %Common.SetPriority(1000)
   %Graph.SetTextArea(0,0,256,32)

1. CPU may not work in Windows 7 as another user reported earlier. You could try using Everest Ultimate to read CPU usage.
2. Probably incompatibility of the battery plugin with Windows 7
3. Turn off the "anti hangup protection" in LCDHype settings, or just increase it's value until your scripts stop hanging.

 

That is strange as both of those work fine for me in Windows 7, but as it is clear, I've had my share of issues as well.

 

how I activate winamp plugins in sicopoly's megascript??

 

There's a dll and another file which I don't remember in the folder LCDHype\stuff\winamp, copy those two files in Winamp\plugins floder and restart Winamp. Then go to Winamp options -> preferences -> plugins -> visualization and activate the LCDHype plugin

 

It's not my script!!! it is predator's megascript adapted to G50/70 oled!!! and maybe improved! but not my!!!

To activate the plugin follor the rules that predator had said!

 

ok ok
thanks! yo really made my day
the only problem that I have is that the weather plugin shows "Zaragoza's" weather and i'm from Guatemala.
and the cpu don't work either but that's because i use windows 7

 

Guatemala....do you even have weather there lol kiddin You have to tweak the weather script to show information from your zip code

 

nice one predator! lol he have very good weather here!
ok I will tweak that.
I have another question, why when I turn on the pc the scripts stays on the dolly clock or lan?
it doesn't start like from greetings falkeen, that only shows up manually.
and the skype scripts doesn't work form me:

Place the file "Skype4COM.dll" in Windows\System32\ folder.
Press Start->RUN, type in "regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\System32\Skype4COM.dll" (wihouth the quotes).
If you see a message saying "Registration successfull", then the plugin will work.

I have done that and a screen that says that module couldn't be loaded, windows 7 is the problem?

 

Any news about the led driver please?

 

Nope, I'm going to purchase a G51 soon, it has the same LEDs, when I get my hands on it I'll finish the driver for LCDHype

 

Buy it quickly predator!
I'm waiting for the led driver for a year! you know!

 

do any one have script showing cpu and ram battery working in windows 7

 

I got a quick question, I have my scripts ready and running no problem. Teh pages cycle well. The only problem is i dunno what i'm missing in my msn script to hold the info there, like if I'm on the msn page it show i got chat open and when it cycles through and come backs to it the chat and last messaged received reset and show 0 chat or no messages.

 

It is supposed to be this way. The MSN plugin is not one of my best creations, MSN lacks many needed functions to write a descent extension for reading messages, so that's the best I can do without having to cut my veins

 

Just updated my Fraps version to 3.0.1 and the FPS counter on the Overclocker script seems to not work anymore. Has anyone else run into this problem?

I'll be reverting to version 2.9.99 in the mean time.

 

I saw that problem when someone wanted me to updated the lcdFraps plugin in the megascript to version 2.9.9

I resolved that copying files from the oldest version, i'm not sure now, but i think it was lcdfraps.dll

But if in the installation of v3 a frapslcd.dll came, try to rename as lcdfraps.dll maybe could make it work!

Give me news!!!

 

Doesn't work.
I tried using the old lcdfraps.dll (Always shows 0 on OLED)

Renaming the v3.0.1 frapslcd.dll to lcdfraps.dll (Causes Fraps a fail to load frapslcd.dll)

And making a copy of the new v3.0.1 frapslcd.dll then renaming it to lcdfraps.dll and kepping both (A blank space appears on the OLED were the FPS numbers are supposed to be).

 

I noticed that my LCD will show 0 until I open LCDHype and minimize it again, then it starts to work. This is probably not with the newest drivers though.

 

Predator_MF: I tried WiMood:
$Volume always reports 100
$PlayerVolume with Windows Media Player 12 reports "39" for 100% on WMP and "0" for 0%

stouf: Really? CPU occupation has been and still is being reported perfectly on my G50VT with my script.

Try the one I uploaded in below post:

 

This is an updated version of my old script. Not much has changed.

 

Well I don't have Windows 7 installed atm, will try to code the volume plugin for you guys later if that will suit you

 

Try copying lcdfraps.dll and info.dat from the old version!
i think it were these files which i had copied!

try to play with the files!!!

 

I was playing with the files, i couldnt get it work!
Lcdfraps change a lot in the newest version....
why you want version 3.01....???

 

As a matter of fact, I'm having the exact same problem at the moment, the script is showing me a speed of 1073Mbps and the OLED is filled with bars. And telling us it's impossible to have such speed is pretty obvious ... That's why we turn to you, the one who scripted this script, to ask how this "would" be possible. Because windows and everest are showing the internet connection speed just fine...

Oh yeah, and LCDHype is using 60Megs over here atm, no cpu though, since I didn't bother to install msn plugin, just the battery and everest one.

EDIT: Oh yeah, in case you would ask, I have the exact same Wireless card as you do and the line with 5100 is unchanged, so that's not causing the problem. Also, it seems like none of the wireless network variables are being read in correctly, the KB/Sec arent changing, and I haven't downloaded a single bit according to the script, which ofcourse isn't the case

 

I'm not sure why this is but some network adapters register as either 0 or 1073 Mbps. You need to change the adapter number in the script. Sometimes the numbers change around (in my experience) depending on if they are turned on or off etc. I'm not sure why but for me anyway I'd need to swap numbers between 17 and 21 to get the wireless adapter.

Sorry if this is confusing... I'll clarify if you need.

 

You don't need to change the numbers in the latest megascript (or sicopoly's megascript rework) in the network script. All you do is specify a part of the name of the network adapter which you want to see in that script, that way even when the adapter changes it's number because of turning it on/off it will still show the same adapter

 

Ok, so my Avast Antivirus just detected a Trojan in LCDHype's screensaver.dll
Anyone know anything about this?

EDIT:
If anyone is using Avast, apparently the last update they screwed up and a lot of programs are coming up as false positives with Win32: Defl-MZG Trojan

 

Argh!

I got caught in this mess up early this morning... spent 3 hrs quarantining files and re-downloading the installers for various prgms. I thought it really was a valid infection- but could not understand how since all I was doing was reading my early morning news.

I even nuked an re-installed LCDHype! Oh well- no harm done, just a pain to deal with.

 

Sounds dumb (and a bit OT) but perhaps you should look into shifting your antivirus program to something else... I used to use Avira and now I use MS Security Essentials, both of which are rated pretty well by av-comparatives.

@Predator MF: Ah, that's fancy! I confess I didn't really use the Megascript for anything other than coding reference (since it was quite well-made )

 

Well, I knew that(it's documented in the megascript itself, and it's set to 5100(the standard anyway), and I have the standard G50VT-x5 network card(5100, also the name specified), and yet it still shows 1073Mbps.

I tried reinstalling LCDHype, using 6.05, which is the latest, at this moment.
Tried reinstalling Network drivers, didn't help either. Turning the adapter on and off doesn't fix anything too..

I'd change the script so it'd read out the values from Everest, but I have no idea what the var names are to pull them up from everest, and I'm not even sure if everest shares the network information...
