Hi Guys.
Been lurking for a while but this is my first post. I have tried to do as much self research as I can, lots of searches and link chasing etc but feel like I have gone as far as I can on my own. If I have missed something obvious, or just been plain stupid, then I apologise in advance, but we all got to make mistakes, right?
Ok, I have been trying to get weather Data for custom cities on my polaris (with manila2d). I have been able to edit the XML and the custom cities show up in the list in the weather tab, but when i try to update, it says unable to retrieve date. This only happens with the custom cities, all others work fine.
I have tried to follow various threads relating to editing the connection, both by connection setings, and pocket hosts but still have no luck.
I then tried to follow the various stages of N2A's thread, but it seems the only current working way involves a patched HTChome.dll, which I believe manila does not have?
I read into editing the registry to get weather to work in TF3D and tried to do something similar, but again, nothing.
I have managed to get it to work whilst running TF3D and WeatherDatabaseEditor but was not happy enough with the running(bit laggy) of TF3D to use it day to day so reverted back to 2D, and WDE does not work with 2D.
So I now seem stuck. At the moment I am runnin SPB shell (with weather) with a diamond theme, on a second today screen as a sort of work around, but its hardly perfect.
Have any of you guys got weather to work with Manila 2D, or have any sugestions for further reading?
Thanks for any help
James
