AW: Re: AW: Maya Feature requests
Thanks for your suggestion sPiel, but I think it would be a step forward to implement a function, which uses a specified picture for each weather(type).
Your idea is nice, but I think you will have the wrong backdrop in the 1-day-view of tomorrow for example.
If I'm right, StreamedMP already supports this various backdrop style and I hope Maya will get the feature, too.
What's about the weather backdrop idea? Couldn't find any entry in the Tracker.
I also thought there was a concept of this, unfortunately i couldn't find it anymore.

I modified mine to display an online webcam shot from my local council:

Using this code in myweather.xml:
Code:<control> <description>Alternate BG</description> <type>image</type> <id>1</id> <width>1366</width> <height>768</height> <texture>http://URL OF WEBCAM IMAGE</texture> <visible>!Control.IsVisible(1000)+!Control.IsVisible(1200)+!Control.IsVisible(31)</visible> </control>
I'm not sure how long Mediaportal caches the image but I get a new image often and it always shows the local conditions as its taken from a tall building only a few blocks away from my house.
