Hi Limbo

I cannot seem to get this to work.
I have net framework 4.0 installed updated.
Lcd just says Exception has been thrown, by the target of an invocation, argument,start must be greater than zero.

What did I mess up this time.....Looks like a really nice plugin......certainly these days, no kidding.

If you or anyone can help me out, or direct me in the right direction?
Do I need a certain net frame work ver... for this plugin?
Not sure.
Lcd Smartie is allowed threw the firewall also so that cant be it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Lancevv]

Anyone????? Some help or info would be appreciated.

[limbo]

can you please tell me what is the error returned?

[Lancevv]

Hello Limbo, thanks for the interest.

Imputed this in smartie.

$dll(earthq,1,origintime,)

get this error.

Exception has been thrown, by the target of an invocation, argument,start must be greater than zero.

What would you like error wise not sure what you are asking.....?

None of the other commands work either? Seems to be straight forward in the instructions...add earthquake Dll to plugins in smartie directory...done then use one of the many commands in smartie to get the earthquake info.....???

$dll(earthq,1,origintime,) returns earthquake's date and the time
$dll(earthq,1,epicenter,) returns earthquake's coordinates
$dll(earthq,1,location,) returns earthquake's location description
$dll(earthq,1,magnitude,) returns earthquake's magnitude
$dll(earthq,1,depth,) returns earthquake's depth

these result in this across the screen...Exception has been thrown, by the target of an invocation, argument,start must be greater than zero.

It must be something Ive done wrong but I cannot figure out what I messed up....its so straight forward a trained monkey could do it.....LOL
So sorry to bug you but I would like this to function if at all possible. Ive missed 2 major Quakes already, no kidding.
Im a weather nut, this is just made for me and will be used that is if I can get it working.

Do you by any chance have it working......

Many Thanks in advance.

Oh! you 're right nothing works here... Something must changed on GEOFON site and... Let's call this version 0.1 LOL

My first thought was to dig in to source code and try to fix it... but (shame on me) i can't find the source code.
OK, I will check my backups... or maybe I will start coding a new plugin from the scratch.

Please accept my apologies.
I will try to release an updated plugin ASAP.

[Lancevv]

Please Please do not Apologize.
The time and work you put into ...well all this...cmon, absolutely no reason for apologies.

Nice to know in my last post I mentioned a trained monkey should be able to get this to work....LOL LOL
Fantastic to know Im not on that list...LOL LOL LOL

No rush take all the time you need, I will check back often for updates.
I am rather glad I found this out, I truly thought it was something I did or did not do.

Geo site as you mentioned likely has changed up something on there site.

Best of luck Kind Sir.
Look forward to viewing your new Earth Quake creation. that last sentance sounds strange...LOL

Thank You for all your help and future help....

[limbo]

Look forward to viewing your new Earth Quake creation.

So I created an Earth Quake
Please head to my site (http://www.eserver.gr) and download again the plugin.
earthq2 is coded from the scratch and hopefully will work this time. [-o<

EDIT: The plugin will refresh data once per minute. This may cause a slight delay depending on connection speed.
TIP: command $dll(earthq2,1,1,mg) can be used under actions as well to force LCD Smartie show the "earthquake screen" if a strong earthquake occurs (eg > 6.0)

[Lancevv]

Hello Limbo.

Amazing and THANK YOU !
I really like this plugin.

One thing---- is this right in ACTIONS for over 6.0 quake?
My syntax???

So it flips to the Quake Screen if greater than 6.0 occurs?
In my case its screen 13 for the info on LCD.

Very Very Nice plugin. Everyone should have this and weather alerts.....in todays global climate, its a no brainier.
A true must have in my opinion.

[limbo]

Refresh issue:

I think something is going on with this plugin as well. for some reason the plugin does not refresh the data. Investigating

[Lancevv]

Not sure Limbo

I am seeing new quakes daily?
Not sure of the frequency that it is truly updating? minutes, hours.
So it is showing new quakes, I will keep checking back, I still think its a awesome plugin.
I get what you mean, if it does not update for say hours that would be a glitch...? Or only on a cold boot of machine.

You do the Voodoo that you do and check it out.
I will check back often to see what Miracle you have created, earth moving, or quake LOL.

[Lancevv]

Sorry for the double post Limbo.

No it is not updating I see now what you mean.
Need to restart Smartie and new info is displayed.

Glad you caught that.

Still its a awesome plugin Limbo.

Likely a Earth Quake disturbed the update process.
You will make some counter measures I am sure.

[limbo]

Well I think that I have fixed it. Damn it was just two lines of code! , anyway I will post an update after the tests. I will inform you when it's gonna be a released.

[limbo]

I will inform you when it's gonna be a released.

Well it is a win You can download the final version and get info about latest earthquakes.

[Lancevv]

WIN WIN

Limbo--------awesome.
