it says its not available???
anyone know what i can do??

In the line that reads the GPU temperature (%UsePlugin(..., TGPU1) , instead of TGPU1 try TGPU1DIO, difference comes from Everest versions

Ummm not exactly unzip and run stuff I know, but I'm more than happy to lend a hand if people have questions/problems.

Good job! I can't find some spare time to test, but I had some ideas of creating a parser that works as LCDHype's one (probably using RegExpr or something).

Firstly...this is an amazing thread. Thanks a ton Predator for the awesome script and support.

My only problem so far is that the OLED display stays on when I put the comp to sleep. I know I read how to fix that somewhere, but can't seem to find it anymore. Anyone know off the top of their head?

hi. I bought a g70s about a month ago, so I can test some oled drivers if Predators request is still actual...

I'm looking forward to the linux version.

We need to find a way to intergrate this into the G50V also. Lots of new G50V owners that would love to custoimze there OLED read out I a sure.

is it possible to make in one screen battery CPU, RAM charge and gpu, cpu temp and time ?
but if it's already done ca you link me the script ^^

thx to all and predator again

[Predator_MF]

@iceburner, you could just make whatever custom script you want yourself, it's not that big deal to learn the LCDHype macro-language. It will probably take you one Sunday morning to do it

ViciousXUSMC and pitero86, I'll see what I can do in the future, right now too much work to do on my workplace, so sorry guys for leaving you out with nothing new the past few weeks, I'll update you when I discharge some of the load :P

[Predator_MF]

Oh...I just thought of something...

I'm not sure (and can't find where to test) which DirectConsole drives the OLED and how it does it. So owners of G50 and G70 can do me a big favor, and that is, find the resolution of the OLED screen.

Well, I can't keep this only for me, I'm posting you guys an official beta version of the Megascript 2.0.

It's still a work in progress, few screens are not finished (they just look like in the first version) and few screens are missing (low battery and high temperature warnings plus few more). I don't have enough time to give you detailed explanation on what's new, neither to explain how to use the new system. If you want to find that out, just read the comments in the System.Main script.

The menu system is the same, for except the Ctrl+Shift+F5/F6 work differently than before (you'll see the difference). The Ctrl+Shift+F7 (the menu key) will be removed in the future.
Ctrl+Shift+F8 will toggle the autochange.
Ctrl+Shift+F9 will toggle the GLED function, you have 4 options:

OFF - The GLED is off
ON - The GLED is ON
Blink - The GLED will blink
FPS detect - The GLED will blink when you run something in 3D and it makes more than 25fps (this imitates the DirectConsole DirectFlash function)

The Winamp screens work automatically, that is, they are skipped when you havent started the LCDHype plugin for Winamp. All the Winamp screens, except the "Winamp Oscillator" will make the GLED blink with the music.

I'll just give you a tip about the new Overclocker screen inside. It has 3 modes of operation, depending on which variables you have exported from Everest -> Preferences -> External applications.

1. If you have put checkmarks on GPU Clock, GPU Shader Clock and GPU Mem Clock the screen switches to mode 1, in which it shows that variables
2. If not (1), but you put checkmark on HDD temperature, you'll see the screen in mode 2.
3. If not (1 or 2), you'll see the screen in mode 3, where you'll see battery information and GPU temperature information.

Network screens - alot of fixes there, most major of which is the recognition of the network. You'll see this line there:

%DefVar(NetworkName='RTL8168') / 4965AG for WiFi, RTL8168 for LAN /

The network name variable selects which adapter will be shown on the screen. If you want to change the screen to show another adapters, you just enter a part of the adapter's name in there, for example:

Hamachi:
%DefVar(NetworkName='Hamachi')

Atheros WiFi adapter:
%DefVar(NetworkName='Atheros')

You can easily find the name of the network adapters you have installed. Press Start -> Run, write cmd, in the command prompts write:
ipconfig -all

There are also Skype and MSN screens inside, they show only when your Skype / MSN are running, else they are skipped. You'll get a notification on the OLED when you recieve a new Skype/MSN message, plus the Mail LED (the blue one) will light up.


Another new thing is the OLED screensaver, it turns on when you leave your laptop idle for 3 minutes, that time is configurable, read the comments in the System.Main.


Plugins you'll need to get everything working:

Battery plugin 0.9.1 <- this one is essential for the Megascript, if you have older version, please get this one!
Skype plugin for LCDHype
MSN plugin for LCDHype
Fraps plugin for LCDHype
Everest Ultimate plugin for LCDHype
Asus G-Series LED controller (controls the LEDs)


This is for now, I'll post the official release and detailed explanation in LCDHype -> Scripts section when its finished.
