Suggestion: Any way to do something similar to the TS2 plugin but for Ventrilo? That would be awesome.

Overall a great mod. Net monitor is great and the multi core cpu monitor is great as well.

Keep it up!

Hi there,

I absolutley love this mod, so much that it is the only one that loads up...

I do have a couple of things I can't seem to figure out though.

I am using slot 1 for TS
I am using slot 2 for CLK
I am using slot 3 for speaker settings
I am using slot 4 for CLK FAN

First problem is CLK. I have this set to set for NLST - MST - AWST. I am in EST which shows correctly in top corner of my screen. But NLST, MST and AWST both show +2 hours above what it should be, so for example if it is 6:00PM EST, NLST shows as 22:00 when it should show as 20:00, and AWST shows as 09:00 when it should be 0:700. I can't figure it out, but it seems like this part assumes that I am on MST and does its calculation based on that.

Second thing is speaker settings. I use a Sound Blaster X-Fi card for my speakers, and I use a USB Headset for Teamspeak. I imagine that your plugin only uses what is the primary sound card from the control panel. Is there any way to code it to switch between sound cards so I can set the speaker volume using the G-15? That would be pretty cool, but probably not so easy to code and keep under a certain memory threshold.

The other thing I cannot get going at all, is that I would like to have the LCD show in slot 4 the FAN settings... which simply is not working at all, even when I have it running alone. All I want is the CPU temperature. My processor is a Pentium 6800 on an Asus board.

Anyway, sorry for the long post... figured I would check the community for some answers here... and thanks for the awesome plug-in.

Can't be done as the Ventrilo guys don't publish an interface for it.

Have you carefully read the LCDSirReal.TXT sections on FAN and CLK?
FAN just reports what you tell it to from SpeedFan. There is no way for LCDSirReal to know what SpeedFan's numbers mean. You have to figure them out for yourself.

NLST - Newfoundland Standard Time should be at -3.5 hours from UTC.
MST - Mountain North America should be at -7 UTC.
AWST - Australia West Standard Time should be at +8 UTC.

Set one of the clock settings to be UTC, and do the math. If it's off, get back to me. Also take into account that Daylight saving data is table based and not trivial to get right - so make sure to check what the actual time in the target time zone is. Don't assume they're on the same DST schedule as your own timezone.

The speaker volume wheel isn't controlled by LCDSirReal at all. You'll have to ask Logitech about using it to control other sound devices.

Could someone help me with that My settings.txt file were supposed to make ... If I want

Slot1 - AMP
Slot2 - FPS
Slot3 - Net total (I forget the abrev. for it)
Slot4 - Anything

I can't seem to get this working and I've tried ll that I can think about.

So would anyone be able to post the exact text I'll have to put in the "My Settings.txt" file, please.

The file name is likely to be "mysettings.txt", not "My Settings.txt" (note the lack of a space). Check the value of 'include' in lcdsirreal.txt.

Yep, I'm a moron, thanks for pointing that out (not being sarcastic). As soon as I had installed Speed fan, I got the information that I wanted! Thanks

I did read the CLK settings carefully, and am still having the problem. It seems that the program thinks that I am in MST vs EST and adjusting off of that.

The order I have
NLST AWST MST UTC

SirReal, any chance of getting an XFire block?

I can't reproduce it. Please post me an example, containing the times shown for all of those time zones (at the same time). Man, I sure had to type "time" a lot of times there.

Time to say time again?

I do happen to have one problem regarding the Network display. I have 100 Mbit and when Im uploading/downloading more then about 3-4Mbytes/s the numerical and vertical display doesn't show the correct value. The graph does however. If Im uploading at say 10 Mbytes/sec it might say I upload at 2-3 Mbytes/s as it is now. Dunno why really. The taskmanager correctly displays the network card useage.

Anyway doesn't bother me much but thought Id mention it.

Easy enough. Look inside your lcdsirreal.txt



Theese are default network display limit. You can set it as you wish. May be better to use the correcy number of byte to have MB show more precisely.

Are you sure you're not confusing MBits with MBytes?

uhm i have the same "problem"... so, since i have a 1 Gigabit Lan at home, what value should i use?? Because for example taskmanager say i'm using 27-30% of my net card and lcdsirreal say that i'm up/downloading at 1.3 max 3.3 M... wtf!?

Btw since the first time i tried this app... omg i can't live without it

The values shown (in digits) by LCDSirReal are aggregates of all network traffic across all network interfaces except the loopback. I have no idea what numbers the taskmanager uses. If you think the data is incorrect, I suggest you use a network speed metering tool (try SiSoft Sandra or equivalent) and do your own tests.

The values you can enter into LCDSirReal.TXT are only used when calculating the length of the net I/O bars - they don't affect the numeric output at all.
