Nope... I know better than to do that. How it disappeared, who knows... but it wasn't me.

Couldn't hurt... it'll probably get more people to use it.

This doesn't work for me. I did the steps exactly as described. I am using V4.3 Mortscript. Could that be the problem?

[schettj]

4.3? Should not matter. I didn't even know there was a 4.3, 4.1 was the latest I was aware of...

Wow I just hit his site, yeah I am a little behind the times it seems. Hmmm... I should check it and see.



What is "not working"? Did you put the script in the \windows\startup directory and run it at least once (either a soft reset, or just go launch the .mscr file)

I'll update my mortscript and see if it blows up.

Hey thanks for the mod, I was wondering why this wasnt part of the phone from the beginning. I am having the same trouble tho, followed the instructions to T and no worky on my stock Sprint Touch Pro. I did install the latest Mort.... hmm same old moon... and tonight is a new moon.

Ok, must be some issue with 4.3 Mortscript. I'm swamped In Real Life, will get to this shortly...

[shatner]

thats cool!

Perhaps someone could post v4.1 here?


It would appear you can get the 4.1 version here, I did and it seems to work fine now.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your scripts. A great idea. I'm having a few problems. I'm running mortscript 4.2, the 'ph' value being calculated for 2nd June 2009 is 1.100000 which when combined with the statement fname="\Windows\moon-" & ph & "_manila.x" produces an invalid file name. I reckon the moon phase should be around 8. Any ideas as to why the calculation is going pearshape ?

test script currently playing with...
# standard moon phase algorithm from the web
# note should be UTC time, so phases can be off by a day or so
# we're not talking hubble telescope here, just close enough is fun!
ErrorLevel( "warn" )
# current time
GetTime(hour,min,sec,day,month,year)
d=day
m=month
y=year
Message ( "year, month , day = " & y & m & d , "date value" )
if (m < 3)
y = y - 1
m = m + 12
endif
m = m + 1
c = 365.25*y
e = 30.6*m
jd = c+e+d-694039.09
jd = jd / 29.53
b = Floor( jd, 1 )
jd = jd - b
ph = Round(jd*24, 1)
Message ( "moon phase to use = " & ph , "ph value" )
if (ph > 23)
ph = 0
endif
# ph = 0 (NEW) thru 23 (last of the waning cresent)
# copy file
fname="\Windows\moon-" & ph & "_manila.x"
# message(fname,ph)
# delete ("\Windows\060bb8f2_manila")
Copy (fname, "\My Documents\060bb8f2_manila", TRUE)
Copy ("\My Documents\060bb8f2_manila", "\Windows\060bb8f2_manila", TRUE)
# that's it.

Further update.
I uninstalled mortscript 4.2 and installed 4.1
Works fine now.
