G50V - Anyone find a use for the OLED display?

That is darn nice! Could you post the scripts please? I would like to look at the code for the change of screen and the screen loop. I'm not able to get mine running (only crawling)

 

You have to start the megascript from the System.Main (the first script on the top), it will initialize, load all the plugins it needs (fraps, everest, battery, etc.), initialize the keyboard input system and variables, the popup system, and then it will enter into the logo scripts. After logos execute (10 seconds), it will start working as normal - you can then navigate thru different screens with those 4 keys and everything will work normally. There's an option in LCDHype to always start with executing a script, I would set that to script "0", that is the first script on top, so everytime you start LCDHype, it will init the megascript. You can also put a shortcut of LCDHype to the StartMenu->All Programs ->Startup, so everytime you boot Windows you'll have everything working without having to run it manually. That is the whole beautiful idea - you only use those four keys without directly interfering with LCDHype.

If you try to double click on any script on the megascript, the script would work erratic - that's not how it's supposed to work.

 

Thank you for explaining it to me, you have been a real help!

Just one final question, is there something in the script that I would have to add in order for it to switch between two to three screen only? I ask this because I would like it to switch between MSN, Battery and the Basic Clock you made in the G50 tutorial (Which I added in since the one with the sheep is a bit distracting ), and not the other things in between.

 

Read the details on the megascript, there's a whole paragraph explaining how to integrate any script into it. Basically, you have to put KeyInit() into the script's header and KeyCheck() into it's GfxCode, then just add the script to the menulist (in System.Main).

 

I love to see this group keep developing this plugin. Everyone, please share your work so we all can appreciate it.

 

where I pick up scripts for g50v?

 

Here ya go guys. Even though it doesn't pertain to 'yall, i left the second script in there. You can delete it or replace my name with yours or something. I left the toyota logo and my signature too. Change the bitmaps how you please.

Thanks Toyota! You saved me some time and headaches.

 

Thx Predator_MF for this plugin. It's great.
However I've got a problem with cpu load when winamp status is displayed on oled. LCDhype can take 30% CPU.
Is it possible to optimize it somehow?

 

The original winamp scripts require 5-10% CPU time on my 2.4GHz...which runs on 1.2GHz... Are you really sure it's LCDHype making that CPU, or it's system total ?

 

Yes, it's caused by LCDHype only. Maybe it's connected with a winamp version or additional plugins I use e.g. DFX.

 

Anyone made any more progress on some scripts?

 

I hope someone will make a G50 version of the Megascript... Im using the G1s now and it is amazing! Thx Predator!

 

I'm working with LCDHype and Predator's driver on the G50V. I've got a nice display of my computer's name and logo, the time, date, and day of the week. I also have a way to blank the display and have it set to do this automatically when LCDHype exits. My needs are simple, so my next projects will be a second screen that shows some computer parameters and a way to animate the main logo screen to minimize burn-in. I'm sure I'll think of other little projects, but I don't need messenger or music support.

One little quirk I've noticed is that when I shut down my computer and LCDHype is running, it causes an "access violation". When I exit LCDHype by itself it works fine.

 

Hey Gollan, please give us your script to use an to learn, its sounds very good. I want to try it out.

Many Thanks

 

I'm working on the G1s Megascript, i've already done the HDD's, the CPU usage, and the menus, i hope that someone helps me...

Sorry my bad english, im portuguese

 

So how do we use LCDhype and Direct Console at the same time? Direct console will always show the battery info. Let me know what ya guys do. If we disable direct console we loose the ability to OC real easy.

 

Here is my simple script. Extract the contents of the zip file to LCDHype\Scripts.

I have "Pete" set in LCDHype to start automatically after startup. I'm interested in feedback on why I had to use a y-coordinate of -7 to get my text to line up on the first line.

"PeteExit" just blanks the screen when LCDHype exits. I have it set in "Execute script on application shutdown".

My next project will be to make the script respond to one of the special keystrokes and switch between screens (Logo/system status/blank). For system status, I will show battery and CPU load.

 

Not bad gollan, simplistic but not bad. Take a look at my build (zip file posted on page 11) and you can see how to change that to a 12 hour clock if you want.
As for the -7 y-coordinate, I had to change it to 0 for it to display on my screen, odd that it makes you input a negative. Make sure your coding the "%Common.CreateNewLine" command for every new line, if not they can interfere and cause confusion, i'll play with it a bit. Keep up the good work!

toyota, i found a problem with ur 12 hour clock... at noon, it is showed as 12am.......

 

Can anyone tell me how to make a variable equal to a character? Something like...
animal = 'dog'

Thanks for any help.

 

%DefVar(animal, local = "dog")

or

%DefVar(animal)

%Assign(animal, "dog") / same as animal = dog /

 

Hello,

I want to print on my screen an animated text which shows me at first "_" then "M_" then "Ma_" then "MaX_".
I tried with loops, but my script doesn't work.
Can somebody help me?
I'm french and i don't speak english very well, so I hope the description of my problem is enough understandable.

Thanks for any help

 

Here is my script that shows time, date, cpu, and ram on one screen. The time shows AM and PM and midnight and noon shows as 12:00.

Thanks for the help Pretator.

 

Can someone please post the related LCDhype files? Their website seems to be down and has been for several days. I just got the G50Vt-X1 and would really like to play around with the OLED.

 

x2 ...

thanks!

 

hey if anyone could help me out by posting there own seperate DL locations for these files itd be much appreciated..the link is broken!! Thanks so much

 

I emailed ViRuSTriNiTy and was informed the site is gone forever.. just kidding he has a new address.


lcdhype.de.vu


Unfortunately all the links will be broken, but if you add the '.vu' everything should work fine.

 

great program..Thank you predator for all your hard work and time modding this up for us!

 

Great work, I like the simplicity of it.

 

I cant get your winamp plugin working on my screen...do i need to install some kind of extra plugin to make this work?

 

Yes, there're 2 files you need to copy from LCDHypeDir\stuff\winamp to winampdir\plugins. Please read the FAQ section of the "Customizing the Asus G1S OLED" (down on my signature) .

 

Just fixed all the links, you can download again.

The new LCDHype site is at http://lcdhype.condense.de

 

I'm a little confused. I downloaded LCDHype, opened the executable on my desktop, the program opens up, but nothing is really visible, like half the program loaded. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

 

LCDHype has an unusual user interface. I still don't know how to open the help file from the program (F1 doesn't work for me), but the help file is here: C:\Program Files (x86)\LCDHype\data\help

Click on "English" and start reading. Basically, you will have to put a script in the "scripts" directory, then open a script collection using the "open folder" icon. This loads the scripts.

 

Hey..program is pretty simple to figure out...still having lots of fun playing with scripts..cant wait for megascript!

 

This is fantastic, great work!

Just a quick question, I'm using your scripts except the LCD keeps switching between the script display and the default display (showing the battery life), anyway to stop this?

 

Yep, stop DirectConsole, I guess.

 

Ah yeah, that works thanks. Only thing is that if you turn off direct console, the lights on the lid remain on. Oh well, I'm always plugged in anyway.

 

There will be a driver for LCDHype and those lid LEDs later, I'm busy right now and can't find time to write it

 

im am using ur script
its great simple and just what i need for the moment
but the problem is its sometimes blink
colour exchange for a second
the screen gets all blue and text is written in black
its a bit annoying is it possible to make it stop ?
thank you

 

my OLED doesnt react at all. it worked in the beginning and then a few vista updates later it only permanently shows the standard logo. i also installed XP and lcdhype didnt work, though the log doesnt give any error. just now i reinstalled vista and didnt do any updates but it still only shows the logo. any guess?

 

Post the log text from the my driver's control panel (Configuration -> LCD Configuration -> Advanced options -> down in the box)

 

doesnt seem to be wrong, does it?

 

in g50v only show elapsed time, no total time, kbps, track name ...

 

Direct Console is able to interact with Outlook and Windows Mail. Has anyone found a way to get LCDHype to do the same?

 

LCDHype can directly connect and read messages from your POP3 or SMTP mail using the LCDMail plugin without even running Outlook or Windows Mail

 

Yeah, seems the device is installed as USB HID in your Vista, so it's not a driver problem I guess. If it's connected with LCDHype and it's initialized successfully, then it should work fine. When you start LCDHype, do you see the LCDHype logo blinking couple of times on the screen ?

 

no. as i stated, only the standard republic of gamers logo permanently appears on the screen.

 

Hello there lads! I've just registered to ask you this. I have the ASUS g50v AK020, I think it's called.
I get the "Republic of Gamers"-logo on my OLED-screen when I start up my computer, in other words, everything is working as it is supposed to.
Now to the problem: I want to remove the startup-logo that says "Republic of Gamers". I've managed to turn of the intro-explotion-commercial that was instead of the regular bootscreen, but now I want to remove the OLED-pannel logo aswell.

Does LCDHype remove the startup-logo? Or is it any way to remove it without having to remove DirectConsole, because i really like to be able to easily overclock and have control over the lights on the back of the screen.
Thanks in advance!
