can you plz a shorter counter

So fvckin' awesome, dude!

=D i love it, hehe

this widget run on windows xp?

ok this is the best countdown timer ive seen so far, but to make it better here are the only flaws i found...

i dont remenber if its like this in the show, but when the timer hits 4 minutes, i dont think its supposed to take another minute for it to go to 3:59.

second, an option should be made to hide the monitor until the timer stops beeping, then when the code is entered the monitor should go away again.

also, the gliphs egyption however u spell it things should come down one at a time in the order they do in the show, its some weird random order, and the rest of them should flip until they come down.

besides those things, this is very good! i hope you can update this for us...

It's not letting me enter the numbers

Uberly awsum widget btw....

Allen, can you edit the LOST widget so that it will start to countdown from around 10 minutes so I don't have to wait 108 minutes? Thanks!
* email me at kicman17@yahoo.com *

Allen pls let us chat with WALT by this widget:))

I have a problem: I downloaded the XP version of it (with the Mac version), but I dunno which program I can open it with. Can you help me guys?

Oh Gosh what a disappointment to all Lost fans. Anyways a very good widget. WELL DONE! Had me check this site everyday. You really have a talent there! Take care Allen!

PS: Whoever told you that the hatch was no more....was misinformed. There is a new hatch now that has just been discovered ;)

Glad u made it Allen!! well done on a great widget although its a shame its over!

noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[continued]

...This was the original Lost widget by the way (came out before the dashboard one)... I never expected this to be so successful.

Thanks again. Just thought I'd let everyone know what's going on.

Hi everybody,
Sorry to disenlighten you guys, but the Lost widget is something that I currently don't have time to deal with. I'm sorry to say that I haven't made any updates to it since the current version. It's just too time consuming, and with school, there's no time at all for it. I haven't even kept up with the show (season 3), but from what I've heard, the hatch is no more... which means the end of this widget, i suppose.

Maybe in the future, I may fix some things up, but don't count on it.

Sorry to leave you with such bad news, but I wanna say thanks to everyone for downloading this widget and using it. Thanks for all the support from you guys and everyone who suggested new ideas and improvements and stuff.

This widget started out as just a quick little thing that sounded interesting to make, and it turned into this massive project, with many clones, imitations, and modifications by others. This was the original Lost widget by the way (c

TheBigBlue: You have to open apart the widget and change the code to do that. If you already did that, then it's in Lost.js, this line: "start = Math.floor((new Date()/1000)+(6485));" Just change the 6485 part to whatever you want.

i have one question. im new to coding and i wonder where i can change the timer so the 108 minutes go a little faster.. like 1minute=30sec or something like that.

Great Widget. One thing - you could make it more realistic by having the cursor move to the right automatically when you input the number, like on the show. Think it moves across whether the number is correct or not, as long as it fills the desired amount of digits for that number.

Looks like Allen Has left for Good People

How come when i download it i have to choose a programme to run it? It has the Apple Logo but does it actually work in Dashboard? HELP

Are you there, allen?

Allen Wuuu! Where is yooou? :P

Allen Wu is.....LOST!

how come when i download it i have to choose a programme to run it can anyone help?

When is the new version coming out?

Allen are you ever coming back

Allen when are you coming back?

I think that you should make it so that the system failure thingy happens on the screen after the heiroglyphs appear.
Thanks
P.S Please make it so the heiroglyphs happen one at a time.

I mean Allen...Wherd i get the name andy from?

Andy please Fix the ending

I think he's been kidnapped by "The Others"....

Someone email him, his email is on the widget, just right click on the widget then click about lost, and his email should be down the bottom, someone email him pleaase, i want the next update so bad, neways cya guys

ALLEN ARE YOU ALIVE?

he said he would be gone until August 29. i think he may have givern up on us!

And I know it's not THAT important, but in the log files there's always an unnecessary "0" in the the date. But, we remember, in the show the date was "922044:16", and in the widget-log file it would be "09220404:16". It's not tragic, but it would be nice if you could fix that. Aaaaand, there should be a lot more "SYSTEM FAILURE". And on the screen to. But, it's a great widget, I love, go on....

And it would be cool if you replace the single "Ececute"-Button, and make the whole keyboard, because in the show, the monitor stands on a keyboard, and I think it would be cool if you would do that, Allen. But, nevertheless, great job!!

First, I'd like to say that I really love this Widget. It's nearly perfect. You know what would be cool? Something like a wallpaper, where I can place the counter and the monitor in the right spot to make my desktop look like the hatch.

i cant see the log or hear the sounds

I have few excellent ideas for this widget :)
1. If possible, it would be nice ending option - to turn off a monitor.
2. An ability to execute shortcut after countdown.
3. And an ending option which chooses random between: Shutdown; Restart; Stand by; Turning off monitor, and doing nothing.
It would be great, because people wouldn't know what will happen (or won't happen at all).
:-)

I think he might of givern up or this??

I help you gun-sight one places the hieroglyphs to one the position is the first one in the fourth cabin the second one in the third party the third party in the fourth the quarter in the first one and the fifth one in the second one. And please places the SYSTEM FAILURE.

Allen...Are you alive? HAHA!!

Did he say he will make the heiroglyphics flip one by one? Hopefully, because this widget is almost perfect, it'd be so much better if they flipped one by one, also when system faliure is heard, you should be able to hear destruction in the backround.

We all know and he has already said he might fix the ending.

We all know and he has already said he might fix the ending.

I give this Clock a Poor Ending

First of all

The Heiroglyphics Show up all at once when they are really supposed to Flip 1 at a time.

you hear System Failure But

He should add like the backround getting Destroyed and Stuff he should put like Metel Objects Flying all over the PLace.

and Once the Timer Reaches Zero

It makes it Near Impossible To enter the Code.

Because the computer screen is very Slow....

Allen Please Fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do you want it to flip 1 by 1 so much??
Allen said he will be back by the end of August so it should be soon.

Does anyone know wen Allen Wu gets back from where ever the hell he is, i cant wait for an update...HOPEFULLY WITH THE FLIP THINGS FLIP ONE BY ONE!

AWESOME! Ken and Locke, because we all want it to flip one by one, keep posting suggestions about that, this way Aleen Wu might eventually do it! Keep it up! cya

WoW

This Sounds Like a Great Widget

I just downloaded it IM trying it now :D

WoW

This Sounds Like a Great Widget

I just downloaded it IM trying it now :D

I second that!!

update please, i want it to flip one by one

Yeah hopefully he knows, cos dammit i want it to flip 1 by 1 lol, its just so awesome wen it dus on the show

I'm certain Allen know's how to get them to flip 1 by 1, it would just take a long time.

Hey Salmon, pleaseeee keep trying to make the hyroglyphs flip 1 by 1, i know if you do succeed you cant give it to me, but Allen Wu obviously doesn't know how to do it, so maybe you can give it to him if you finally do get it right, i beg, lol, i just love it on the show when they flip one by one, it makes it so suspencful, and i love to film my own little lost thingo, and if the hyroglyphs flip one by one it'd be so awesome, pleaaaassee keep trying, kool thankx, cya

It was a failure, I got them flipping one by one but the others weren't flipping while one was flipping into place. The others stayed at zero while each one was flipping into place... Oh well, it will be possible but I'm lazy. =D

I'll try to get them to flip one by one, but I will only give it to you if allen let's me.

lol Ok i'll see what I can do but this is Allen's widget and I can not give it to anyone unless allen says I can. Also unless allen lets me give him the version so he can upload it don't give any credit to me beacause.....IT IS NOT MY WIDGET. Thanks.

lbmmoneyboy

hey lbmmoneyboy, while allen is away, can u also try and change the hyroglyphics to flip one by one like in the show, i no u cant give this to me, but maybe wen allen gets back u can tell him how to do it and then yeah, please try, please, thx lbmmoneyboy cya

Hello everyone. I have an anouncment to make. I have been playing around with the codeing and I have changed it so that there are heaps more SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE Then what there is now. If you would like to use this codeing for your next version allen, email me at lbmmoneyboy@yahoo.com.au Ill send it to you and then all you have to do is put my name somewhere in the creds. It looks alot better. I also would like to promise that this codeing I have changed is for my own purpose and I will never give it to anyone without your permission allen.

Thanks.

lbmmoneyboy

Hey Allen, when you get back, can you please, im begging you, make the hyroglyphs flip one by one like they do in the show, i beg of you, please make it do that, pleaaaaasssee!

Allen...for when you return...I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, or if it's just a fluke, but I let it run down to the 4-minute mark, and I was unable to enter ANYTHING. I'm going to try again and see what happens. Suggestion: There is a site that has some excellent sound files from Lost (http://www.losthatch.com/soundeffects.aspx), and I would like to hear the "EM Discharge" sound. It'd be cool too if the screen could shake when it goes off.

I'll be gone until August 29. Try not to break the widget till then.

hey Allen Wu, i have been a fan of this widget for a long time the new update is great :) but they is one falt. when system fallure happerns "system fallure" should apper on the moniter hundreds of times. also i think it would be good if we had a fail-safe key wich only appers after the clock reaches 000 00 and when the key is put it the whole screan goes into a bright light with the deep droning noise from the show then the widget goes and the quarantine hacth falls into the desktop. if this is possable Allen plz plz do it. cant wait till the next update.....

The shutdown and restart endings work... I havent tried standby.

The shutdown and restart endings work... I havent tried standby.

If something isn't working (specifically the Endings), let me know as soon as possible. I will be gone starting Friday and I'll be back at the end of August.

great work, allen!!!
Ive set it on standby mode, ill do shut down another time, lol

Thanks guys.

Make sure you save your work frequently when using this feature.

You're AWESOME Allen!!! Great work!!!

It's great!! I set it to shut my computer down if I dont push the button... It puts some motivation into pressing it.

Yay! I am downloading it now

Wonder if a staff member could check IP's, find out who posted that message.

WHAT THE HE@#!!!!!!!!! Who is the fake Allen Wu? Who ever it was should no that I almost gave up hope on this widget!!!!!! My sincerest appolegys REAL Allen Wu. :) when will it be up? It's been days? Thanks.

lbmmoneyboy

That wasn't me. The widget should be up soon.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :((

IS this the end of this widget then?!?

Just to inform you, I cancelled the upload for financial reasons, my apologies

Its not here!! The new version is not up yet! :(

what have you updated on it

I just uploaded it. Should be up soon.

When is the next update comeing out?

I know. What if you made fake icons and had a full screen part of the widget where the fake icons flew in from all directions and fly towards the right side of the compuuter screen. Thanks.

lbmmoneyboy

I'm sorry I haven't been working on this widget. I'll work on it this week.

As for the icons flying around, unfortunately that doesn't seem possible. And if it were, I have a feeling that it would be VERY slow.

Could we have an update statue please Allen, also it wouldne let me tyoe in the numbers once the system failure sound came on, sorry people illl try nt to destroy the world next time!!

GAHHH!!! I cant install it :@ i go into it and it says "lost was unable to load itself successfully!!!!!!! help!!!!!!!!!!

hey King Eng to tell you the truth i had that exact same idea!!!!! Great minds think alike. :) I pictures it like this- The right side of your screen is like the magnet and when it hits zero all your icons start flying at it and smashing. It strats of with about 2 icons every 10 secs but then youve got multiple icons every 4 secs! Then once its run out of icons the timer shrinks and then all you do allen is make some fake icons start flying out of the left side of the screen and they are unlimeted. However if you mannage to enter the numbers before the timer shrinks all the icons apper were they were. If that is possible i reckon that i would be happen if you devoted the next version completly to that!!! Thanks.

lbmmoneyboy

Cheers Greenman, it would be really gd if that was possible, i 4 got to rate the widget so ill do that now, cant wait till the new version!!!

When is the next version comin out??? We're all waiting!! :) The longer it takes the better the improvements!

I second that!, what an idea King Eng, that would be really cool, is it possible allen?
and will it be really difficult to enter numbers on a SF?!?

Great widget, it would be good if you dont press the button if all your desktop shortcuts started flying about the screen!!!

now i see but i counted 5 with this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eS3xnHgW7k&search=lost%20plane

yes ash is right i have watched it over and over he clicks execute four times. On the last one he holds down execute and it resets so make it that u have to enter he numbers four times and on the last one you have to hold down execute for four seconds. Thanks. When is the next version comeing out?

lbmmoneyboy

HE obviously watched it back when desmond had to enter on a system failure, and actually...i counted him typing the code in 4 times, and once he hit the execute button twice in a row.....so it was definetly the fourth time that made the clock flip back.

I would aslo like to ask... why doesnt the cmopter beep from 4 mins...its flips then counts to 3:56....im not complaining, just wondering.....sohuld it not beep as soon as the counter flips into the 3:59 mark?

lbmmoneyboy how did you work that out

lbmmoneyboy how did you work that out

this is how it works on the show (system failure) when it is in sytem failure the only way to enter the numbers is this-

4 8 15 16 23 42 execute 4 8 15 16 23 42 execute 4 8 15 16 23 42 execute and then it flips back so you enter the numbers 3 times and on the third execute they flip back.

when is the next version comeing out allen?

Hey allen, will it be made extremely difficult to enter the code on a system failure??

Hey allen, will it be made extremely difficult to enter the code on a system failure??

why not

why not

You can't turn off the computer....

i think you should be able to turn the computer on and off like in the show

i agree

Actually question mark I found this one to be of more help_____

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy-I9Dm0CYg&mode=related&search=lost%20computer

this is how the computer works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXdwIIn3uVc&search=lost%20computer

this is how the computer works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXdwIIn3uVc&search=lost%20computer

Yeah me too! Cant wait for the next version :) as long as it has that little beepy thing when you hit execute its perfect :) hopefully we will get the hieroglyphics flipping one at a time!

cant wait for the next one to be updated

cant wait for the next one to be updated

Thanks for the info Allen, Sorry to be a bother, but I was wondering if you will make it very difficult to enter the numbers during system failure? Like the way desmond had difficulties.
I am just brain stomring...but would it be possible that during system failure, you could make a sort of code that would need to be dead on to get the clock to flip back, like enter the numbers and press execute, tehn enter the numbers and then press execute twice, then enter the numbers twice and press execute 3 times...you know waht i mean?
Thank for the reply anyway!

thanx

hmmmmm, i need help, there is no execute button!

Greenman: Technically, if you want 108 minutes, then the countdown should start at 108:00, not 108:59, which is an extra minute. But I added an extra 5 seconds (108:05) just so that it shows the famous 108.

And the flipping thing, that's tough to perfect. It all depends on the computer's speed. If you have a fast computer, then the fliping will be done faster than the sound. And if you have a slow computer, it's the opposite.

UPDATE STATUS:
So far, it's kinda bumpy. The blinking cursor is really hard to get right.
-Added the beep after entering the numbers
-I'm keeping the system failure sound effects (even though they aren't perfect). If I use the one from the show (with all the little clangs and bangs and rumbling), it makes the widget REALLY slow and increases the filesize quite a bit.

Good to see that the little beep is added...I wanted to bring up something else. Will the flipping sound be more syncroniszed with clock flipping back to 108? It is just slightly out of sync.
Another question, Why after entering the code does the clock flip to 108 and then 10 seconds later go to 107...it is not a full minute...
I really like this widget it is really great of you to make it...keep up the good work!

Added that, question mark.

when the code is entered when you push exacute it should have this sound

use the beggining of this video to understand

What if you could set the [] cursor speed in the preferences of the widget... I am just brainstorming, not sure if this would be possible.

Hey, this widget is so awesome allen, just try and get the symbols to flip 1 by 1, that'd be so awesome, and when they do flip, instead of just having the flipping sound, make it have that powering up sound that locke hears in "One Of Them", that'd be awesome, and instead of having the system falier loop over and over, just have the actually one from the show where it just repats cos thats wot it dus on the show, it sounds better, same with the magnet sound...thx its awesome

Allen Wu how about you tell everyone to set there blinking cursor at a speed of 50 and then set your blinking one to do the same speed?

Okay, I'm pretty sure the cursor doesn't blibk until the alarm sounds, before that it just sits there.

Ian: It's in the about box of the widget.

Hery Allen, I would like to get in touch with you but can't find your email anywhere. It involves further development of your widget. Thanks!

Sounds like a plan! hehe

Yeah, i say try it out and see if it works! You can always change it back if it doesnt look right

What I meant was the thin, 1px one is always there. You can't get rid of that. It's part of the textarea, just like that one that you use to make comments here. I did make an image of a thicker cursor and placed it right on top of the default one, but if the blink timing isnt right, then you will see the original one.

But I just came up with another idea. How about when the textarea isn't active (which means no 1px cursor) it'll show the thicker, blinking one, and when you CAN type (under 4 minutes), the thick cursor will show, but won't blink.

Ah, k.

But he ment thicker carrot, im talking about an image file being used to replace it, not text

But he ment thicker carrot, im talking about an image file being used to replace it, not text

Quote from Allen Wu: "can't just cover it with a thicker one, because there's no way to find out the length of the blink. It varies from computer to computer."

Hmmmmm, Allen perhaps theres a way you can just get an image of the flashing carrot and somehow place it on the normal carrot? Just brain storming, not much knowledge of creating widgets and such ^^

Bang!!!!

-----------------

No arguments can pass the above line any1 who is still going on about the spacebar issue is trying to stir up trouble. Im not trying to dihect this at any1 but look at the next 2 sentences....

xD Oh god, 2 idiotic eejits without girlfriends or a social life in general on the internet (who are prob american) are classed as everybody, so everybody hates me and nobody likes me! Oh the pain, THE PAIN!!! lol fag

Dave, ffs, give it a rest, im sick and tired of seeing you act like an idiot on this forum, nobody likes you!! lol, and yes i think it is you that needs to get a life! lol

what have those 2 sentences got to do with the widget or LOST?? read them and think......it's silly. There is no point. Forget about it ok? Thank you.

By the way great widget allen.

I dont care if the cursor is a [] or not. If you cant work it out, whatever. No big deal. I think the spacebar should be used regardless of what continuity errors the show had. There are spaces between each number, so hit the space bar, it's not rocket surgery :P

Stop arguing over a little spacebar issue. I'm going to keep it the way it is for now because it makes more sense.

Bad news: The blinking cursor isn't easy to implement. The textarea by default has the 1 pixel wide cursor, and I can't get rid of that. I can't just cover it with a thicker one, because there's no way to find out the length of the blink. It varies from computer to computer.

I'm gonna work on fullscreen and see how it turns out. It might slow the widget down a lot though.

And there are a few other features that I'm working on right now.

I'm not sure when I'm going to be finished with these improvements, but I plan to finish in a week or two.

Btw, a copy and paste only shows your lack of arguing skills and lack of education like said below :)

xD Oh god, 2 idiotic eejits without girlfriends or a social life in general on the internet (who are prob american) are classed as everybody, so everybody hates me and nobody likes me! Oh the pain, THE PAIN!!! lol fag

Btw "Jake112" (original name), you say I need a social life, and yet manage to say "lol" 2 times in one sentance. GG

I agree with dave dis time, your just as fucking bad responding with lame ass comments. its a comment section ffs morons!

Nobody likes me? :P Like I care what 3 people on a widget comment section on the internet thinks about me xD And if thats the best argument you got "You suck and nobody likes you because I say so", go get an education or go do the lost experience you sad bastard :)

Dave, ffs, give it a rest, im sick and tired of seeing you act like an idiot on this forum, nobody likes you!! lol, and yes i think it is you that needs to get a life! lol

Like I said, who needs a social life again? :P

The "get out more" always does...lol!!

I knew that would trigger a reaction..lol :)
gotcha! lol

im not sure if you have realised but allen hasnt replied to anyone since the 4th of july

Oh and btw, if you think 1hour on the net a day, and the rest out with mates, over at mates house, going down town, etc... is not having a life, my god I must need help! :D

Telling me to get out more now eh? xD Oh how I love Hypocrits! :D Your telling me to get out more and yet your the one working all these different idea's out for the pressing of a friggin spacebar on a computer on a television program! And thats after some other people on the other widgets forum had the same disscussion between themselves like a week ago and decided that it was stupid and that they WERE looking too much into it, and you DID need to press the space bar. Jeesh, and you have the nerve to tell ME to get a life :P And then after all that arguing you just said "Yes we should use the spacebar" Well jeesh, what a waste of time you bitchin was eh?

Yea i think it was an error with the show, the spacebar should be used. I know exactly what you mean greenman, some identity codes are typed in like that and pressing the spacebar is irrelevent.

Sorry for the earlier post... it should be like this ( X stands for a pace for a digit)

x x xx xx xx xx
4 8 15 16 23 42 or
4 8 16 16
4 8 15 16 23 32

and as i said we should continue to use the spacebar

Any idea when the new update is or the new version of other23's?? oh and Dave..you just sounded a little offensive, you shouldnt patronize others on here..and before you deny it, using the word "retarded" is a prime example. Seems to me that you thrive on confrontation and to be honest..you just stated the exact same thing i did when i said it was a mistake by the show...

and i am going to try to get it through to you taht how it is possible for the space to move on its own...
consider each dot (.) as a space for a digit
the computer program could be as such..
. . .. .. .. ..
so there it is possible to put in the wrong number
for example
. . .. .. .. ..
4 8 15 16 23 42 or
4 8 16 16
4 8 15 16 22 42

etc etc... so DAve just dont attempt to attack others on here, we all want the same thing.
Maybe you should try to get out more ;)..lol

Btw sorry if I sounded rude :P I really just know 100% that the spacebar thing is a one off error in the show, and had a hell of a time getting my point through on the last discussion that was had about it xD

*sigh* Greenman, im sorry, ive already had to deal with one retarded comment and situation in this widgets comment section, I cant be bothered to deal with another argument arrising, especially out of something which was discussed a few days ago on the other widgets forum topic in which it was decided with evidance that they DID press the spacebar, but only once was it shown that they didnt, which was probably a mistake on the shows front. And if you didnt need to press the space bar, how is it possible that on episode 14 when locke enters the wrong number that it doesnt reconigize it as such, or does and moves forwards automatically? Jeeeeeeesh its only a internet game technically mate, calm down O.o lol

Im Having Trouble downloading it, could you simplify instructions please......I want this so bad

allen could you please give us the date of your next version please please please
thanks alot great work so far i love it
tom

I get no sound :S Pleas Help!

I get no sound :S Pleas Help!

All I am saying is, I have seen people use the space bar and seen locke not sue the space bar..It is probably just a mistake by the show.

Dave my friend...I think YOU should think of things before you say them! Computers programs can be set, for example..6 numbers need to be typed in..which are "4 8 15 16 23 42"..imagine the first two only accept 1 digit numbers (e.g 6, 8, 2 etc etc...) then the 3rd to 6th number there are spaces for 2 digits ( e.g. 18, 27, 64 etc...) please tell me you understand? lol. And to prove my point...locke in the hach for the very first time does NOT press the space bar...trust me, i am 100% sure.

You DO have the press the spacebar. If you listen to Kelvin when he first presses the button, the amount of keystrokes heard lets you know that he pressed the spacebar. Besides, how would the computer know when to move forwards, and distinguish a 4 from a 42? Lol think about these things before you say them :P

Me too,cant wait for the next version. Yeah Allen,give us some sneak preview...tell us what the next version will consist of :) pls pls!!

Me too,cant wait for the next version. Yeah Allen,give us some sneak preview...tell us what the next version will consist of :) pls pls!!

Well spotted SALMON! I noticed that too, but I think it might be a mistake in the show.Its either 1 or 2 of the following...
1) when desmond first uses it he types with the space bar, but when he first tells locke to use it, locke did not use the space bar.
2) The computer does not register the spacebar so it makes no difference if you use it...it moves along on its own if you like...if you know what i mean?

cant wait for the next widget update, hows things coming allen? keep up the great work, i love this widget!!

In the show you don't have to press the space bar, the [] moves accross for the next number. (Except for when the numbers are first typed in by Desmond... But all the others times the space bar was never used.)

That would be great Tom, but you forgot one thing...the flashing bar next to the ">:"

great work so far
to improve:
make the words system failure appear on the screen
make a beep wen u push the button
wen you dont push the button make it more scary:eg: loud noises perhaps make the com shut down
but it is great so far
keep it up and make those improvments please tom

una mierda

Please fix that "print log" and hieroglyphics, but anyway good work :>

Nick is correct. The >: bit doesnt flash, only the [] bit. And also yes, it is more of a thick box more than a thin one if it would be possible to change that also :) (perhaps a code to change the size of a carrot for text)

~Dave

Exellent work Allen. Its awesome! What I suggest for your next version would be the beep that people mentioned as soon as you hit execute,cos we all forgot about it. And maybe the hieroglyphics flipping one at a time (but I know thats a complicated thing to do). Keep it up buddy,CHEERS!

hi, this is the first widget i ever used and i have to say this is fantastic. Its just like on t.v one of the only bad things is the " >: " it should be going on and of like on the show, also the font wen u enter the numbers could be a but other wise the is great well done Allen Wu :)

I dont think that the >: flashes during the show...

And yes the font isnt exactly like the show's, but that doesnt matter a whole lot.

I noticed that instead of a flashing line like this...

>: |

it should be more of a box instead. kinda like this...

>: [] (thats the best example i could find

Oh, and one last thing. You say you want to end it, but everytime you reply (which in my last comment I said just dont and let it be over), you end it with a little witty comment like "it is after all your own fault." which baits me to reply. Think about that if you CHOOSE to reply to this and thus continue it :)

Salmon, YOU started it with the comment: "The hatch experience creator also stole your execute key, if you type "execute" into the control panel your execute key appears so you can use it." out of the blue AFTER Allen had already talked to Other23 and knew what had been "Stolen".

You started it, your the one starting conflict, and IM the one telling you off because of it. Now shut up, use the widget, get on with your life, and enjoy :)

~Dave

Dave, I'm trying to end this growing conflict between us but for some reason you won't let me. You started this by accusing me of something I didn't do, I don't know why you are keep going on about it, so end it now, it is after all your own fault.

ALLEN ALREADY KNOWS WHAT OTHER23 HAS, AND VISA VERSA! YOU TRYING TO ACT LIKE "The Good samaritan" ISNT HELPING ANYONE AND *IS* TRYING TO CREATE CONFLICT SINCE HE ALREADY KNOWS AND ITS ALL SORTED. :) And I have no reason whatsoever to "Create Conflict" between you, Allen, Other23, or anyone for that matter you strange child. Actually wait a sec, your just using the argument I used against you against me... O.o Good going on that one matey, since you really have just made yourself officially, look a tit. As you said this is for comments, so hush, do not respond to this unless giving a comment ON the widget, and go and pretend to be helpful somewhere else. You loose, good day sir!

Dave, I stand by what I said, Allen has a right to know exactly what Other23 has taken from him, DO NOT ACCUSE ME of trying to create conflict between them, I am glad they both sorted it all out. I am just mad you accused me of trying to create conflict between them, Other23 and Allen have done alot of hard work upgrading their widgets, this place is a place where we comment and make suggestions for upgrading, don't turn it into a pointless arguement, your only trying to create a conflict between me and them, which is not going to happen because they are both really good scripters and are trying really hard to make us happy.

lol Salmon, how is my post which is stating facts and reasons why he shouldnt judge purely as a rip off creating conflict? If anything I helped to sort the conflict out between Other23 and Allen so that they are now getting along 100%. Other23 even gave Allen permission now since my post and Allens post to use any of the graphics that Other23 has created!

While you on the other hand post when its all been sorted out between them and Allen already knows what Other23 has taken from Allen and Allen has made friends with Other23 for no reason except to cause conflict.

Please THINK before you make baseless and pointless arguments against me my friend :)

Dave: I am not trying to create conflict between them, I think Allen has a right to know exactly what Other23 has been taking from him, don't you?

If anyone is trying to create conflict between them it would be you. (Dave's post on July 1)

COOL WIDGET!!! I've been looking for something like this as soon as I finished watching LOST. Anyways what I suggest is that something more exciting should happen if you dont push the button...shutting down windows would be cool. And I agree that the green light should be on all the time,not just for the last 4 mins! Fantastic stuff man,looking forward for the next version ;o)

Question mark is right, well spotted. Greenman is also right, there should be a flasshing green light at the texts, where the code is entered, all the time. perviously mentioned too....it would be cool if it was really difficult to enter the code at system failure (like desmond did)...overall great widget.. and i think it would be a great idea if it made your computer shut down if the button wasnt pushed!!

Question mark's suggestion below is right on target. I never noticed this, but when you input the code, you really should hear a "beep" Im surprised I missed that!

Salmon, it is all sorted now and Allen knows, so why bring it up again unless your trying to create conflict on purpose?

Other23 and Allen have talked to each other about it, Other23 apologised and has now given Allen permission for Allen to use any of the images that Other23 have created.

Jeesh lol

Full screen would be great.

The hatch experience creator also stole your execute key, if you type "execute" into the control panel your execute key appears so you can use it.

Hey allen, you're probably sick of all these people andf their demands, but remember to make a fullscreen mode where you can only see the input " >: " and black screen. The one who made the "Hatch experience" widget has good sounds and has figure out how to make several things fullscreen, he also has nice sounds. It wouldn't be a bad idea to ask him for some of his methods, he does kind of owe you after all.

This is a great widget, and you're very close to getting it perfect, great job

Hi, This is a fantastic widget, but I wanted to add a comment just because I have never seen anyone mention it. On the computer sreen there should always be a green light flashing where you input the code, not just after 4 minutes. Also want to say, I really like the fact that you can enter the code after zero, but it would be better if they dropped into place one by one. Anyway, thanks a lot, great game.

p.s A full screen mode would be superb.

Hey man, this widget is AWESOME!!! i love it! this is the best thing eva, but wot u should do, is make the hyroglyphics, flip down like 1 by 1 with like a 5 second wait until the next one goes down instead of them all going down at the same time, and wen it says system faliure, u shood hav the actually shaking sorta sound from the show, instead of just looping the same sound over again, and instead of just looping a bit of the magnetic sound over and over, u should just have the full one from the show with all the shaking and stuff, but still, this is so awesome!!! thx cya, plz try n make these changes!

when the code is entered when you push exacute it should have this sound

Nick: I thought about including a fail-safe key before, but we're not exactly sure what happens after; everything stops, but what does the computer show? I'm gonna wait before I include that.

And the heiroglyphics flipping into place... I was too lazy/busy to make a whole new set of flipping cards for v2.0, as you may have noticed. If/when I do, I'll replace the cheesy flipping effect that I have now with the realistic flipping.

If the stuff below is included, this widget would be perfect in every sense of the word. (sorry it was so long)

...however you cant see the numbers that have been entered because SYSTEM FAILURE is repeating over and over on the screen. Even the computer screen starts to crack. you hit execute and its back to 108:00 however the screen is still cracked and REMAINS CRACKED for the rest of the widget's entirity. The timer is fine though. If you had waited a little longer, the timer would have imploded.


As for the fail-safe key. Make it show up on screen once you are in negative time (aka the whirring and clanking begins). If you drag the key across the screen into an image of a key hole, it goes in. The key turns and you hear and/or see a discharge. Remember the failsafe doesnt HAVE TO BE used. It is what it is...a fail safe. If you seriously are having trouble entering the code, youve got the key.

If that all works out, I thi

Reinforcing this suggestion:

"For the next version fix this- SYSTEM FAILURE never stops it continues to grow stronger and stronger and never stops saying SYSTEM FAILURE. After 34 secs the timer shrinks and this would be cool-Every 30 secends after the timer shrinks the computer breaks a bit more but as soon as it breaks even only a little bit the numbers cant be entered and the only way to stop it is to use the "Fail Safe key." That would be great! Also the hiroglyphics click into place in a 15 second time span. Fix that and do the Sytem Failure and this widget would be the best!"

000:00- You hear the whirring noise and the clanking. It lasts 15 seconds and as it whirs and clanks you see each heiroglyph snap into place. At 15 seconds the all the glyphs are in place. SYSTEM FAILURE is heard and is seen on the moniter. the whirring is getting stronger, the clanking has stopped. you can still type in the code, however you cant see the numbers that have been enter

Forgot to say that the time SYSTEM FAILURE never ever stop even after 485784 hours it should still be going but by then it would be unbileavaby strong!!

Thanks!

lbmmoneyboy

Keep up the goodwork!

lbmmoneyboy

This isn't a big issue and it's easy to fix up, but if you want your widget perfect...

When you type in the numbers as the hieroglyphs appear and press "enter" in the log it says system failure. It's not much of a problem and easy to fix up, I don't want to sound like a complainer. Your widget is the best!!!

I think it's awesome right now. I dont have much to say except for below. Maybe make it so the only way you can close the widget is to use a 'fail-safe' key?

?: What else could I do then?

"dont make it so that when the code runs out it shuts down that would just be anoying"

Then don't let it get to zero, anyway there could be a choice in the preferences to choose if you want it to turn off.

alen y do you never reply to my feedback

alen y do you never reply to my feedback

dont make it so that when the code runs out it shuts down that would just be anoying

Salmon: That's not a bad idea. I think it was suggested by someone else too.

Nick: I'll check those things out.


By the way, the creator of the Hatch Experience Game has emailed me, and has apologized to me. I'm letting him continue to update his widget and use my graphics and code.

I think im wrong...maybe it is beep-pause-pause. Im not sure.

I think im wrong...maybe it is beep-pause-pause. Im not sure.

I must say Allen you've done more than I could've asked for. Here's a couple minor issues:

1. The initial 'beep' when there are under 4 minutes left should be every other second instead of beep-pause-pause.
2. The hieroglyphics should shuffle into place (see Hatch Experience for more info).
3. I suggest you use the System Failure audio from Hatch Experience. Since he ripped yours off you can rip his off (eye for an eye)

Thats all I got. Great job!

This is maybe better sound when the hieroglyphics appear: http://hiekkalinna.be/systemfailure.wav ... i think

hey i realised that when the code is entered when you push exacute it should have this sound ( http://www.losthatch.com/sounds/sound_effects/code_ok.mp3 ) use the beggining of this video to understand ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DHcRz5OgdI&search=lost%20hatch ) thanks

It would be funny if when the countdown hits zero your computer shuts down, heh, it would put alot of motivation into pressing that button.

Dave: Well, I do acknowledge the fact that he did give me credit, but he did not ever ask for permission to use my code and images. This is something I don't like people doing.

I spent many, many hours making this widget come to life. To see someone just take all your work and build upon it, well... I have mixed feelings. I know that he too must've spent some time fixing it up, but at the same time, it seems quite unfair to me.

He's already done a lot of work to the original widget, and for me to tell him to remove it would be pointless and a big waste of time and effort.

lbmmoneyboy: It's alright. It's your and other people's comments that help me make my widget better.

Excuse me Allen, but I think its rude of you to say he "Stole" your widget. He has given you credit and right at the beginning of any mention of his widget, he always included a link to yours saying its the original and thanks for that.

The difference between you and him is that for the past 2months he has actively been working with peoples feedback to create a Countdown with every single little event from the show, to the smallest detail's as best as he could, with a lot of effort and a lot of coding.

So All I can say is, how dare you insult his by calling it a "Rip-Off", and perhaps try his yourself just to see how much coding and effort has been put into it before you go judging....

I forgot to say when you updated that I love the fliping affect it looks like the real thing!

lbmmoneyboy

Sorry Allen Wu...I didn't mean to be demanding I said it wrong I should have rephased it.....sorry but anyway if you could do that in prefrences that would be great! Thank you so much!

lbmmoneyboy

Locke: Thanks.

Salmon: Well, mine is the original. His was a ripoff of mine, even took the graphics and code...

lbmmoneyboy: You're very demanding... When there are enough things to update, I'll add a preference so you can have the log like that.

tom: I'll add the system failure screen filling thing in the next version.

Ben: You need to have the Yahoo Widget Engine to run these widgets. Get it here: http://widgets.yahoo.com/

WTF: You can only enter the numbers in when the countdown gets to 4 minutes.

Good work Allen Wu!

Aaah, Sorry about triple posting... I don't know why that happened, I only posted it once.

This one is better than the "hatch experience" widget, I dont like the "hatch expeience" widget because you can have cheats and you have to talk to walt and do other things (which are not at every 108 minute intervals).
Your widget is the best out of all of them.

That is what the print log should look like and i adds more realism plus if you actualy want to print it you have to sit through 2 hours fixing it! Please Please PLEASE! Do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be so good if you improved it by adding the new featuers seen in the season finally eg: system faliure
plz do this plz plz plz

My computer wont open the widet, it says that it isnt a widget or i dont have access can anyone help please?

The heiroglyphs drop into place in this order 4th5th2nd1st3rd. It takes about 15 seconds for all of the heiroglyphs to drop into place. With the first one dropping in at 7 seconds, the 2nd at 8, the 3rd at 10, the 4th at 12, and the 5th at 15 seconds.

Where do you but the numbers "4 8 15 16 23 42" into at ?
I tryed to the right of >: but that did not work.

It dose not do any thang but count down so I will wait and see what happens

By the way, in v2.1, you can open the log file by right clicking the screen and selecting "View log file".

The comment below was a reply to lbmmoneyboy's comment.

Guest: I've already downloaded the season finale and I updated the widget with those features (except for the system failure filling the screen).

The reason I didn't do that is because if the text program isn't using Word Wrap, then it's all gonna be in one line, which looks weird. For the sake of simplicity, I think that this is better.

http://dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/landing

Go and watch the season finale again and you'll get a full demonstration of what happens when the timer runs out. (Live togother, Die alone)

There are two scenes with the timer running out, on is at about 62 minutes into the episode (which shows the screen displaying SYSTEM FAILURE) and the other is 72 minutes in (which shows the timer imploding), I hope this gives you something to improve your widget with, great job so far :)

Not sure if this has been fixed since 2.1 but if it hasn't please just make a small version with this bug fixed..... In the "Print Log" You have it set out like this:

02050610:25 accepted
02050611:42 accepted

it goes down in rows........But it should go like this:

this is the sound when the heiroglyphs start appering and drop individualy into place

this is the sound when the heiroglyphs start appering and drop individualy into place

Great update, and a good hatch button sim.

There are a few things to touch up though. While the sound effects are all good and well timed, you're still missing the magnet charging sound while the heiroglyphs are dropping. Also the heiroglyphs drop individualy into place.
The system failure sound's nice, however it's a little faster than you have it, about 1 second apart from each other. Another cool effect would be to add the system failure text with your next update.

There is a way to speed up the time down to 4 minutes btw. Just adjust your system clock ahead and it will trick the widget into skipping time.

Other than that great widget. And great work with the new look, I'm liking the swan apple 2 comp screen, and that the timer implodes.

nice 1 this update is the best so far

Could you tell us when Fullscreen will be ready? Thanks.

lbmmoneyboy

How do u veiw ur log?

That would defeat the purpose of the widget.

Is there a way to bring the clock to 4 mins realy quick?

Very nice my friend :)

Only one problem.... http://www.lost-forum.com/showthread.php?t=40338 . He seems to be ahead of you on everything at the moment. The only difference is that this countdown lets you enter the numbers after it has gone below 0 to the hierogylphics and countdown. But overall, superb matey :)

The log file is just a plain text file. Open it with Notepad or any other text program.

REPLY ASAP!!! What program do I use to open the "print log" I cant open it!!!!

Tell me exactly what you do and where you save it! Thanks.

lbmmoneyboy

a cool addon would be for the screen to fill with system failure
also the first beeb is every 2 seconds not 3
overal verrrry cool

THE BEST!!!!! It's great!!!!! The wait was worth it!!!! For the next update make a lockdown and Walt speaks!!!! Thanks.

lbmmoneyboy

THE BEST!!!!! It's great!!!!! The wait was worth it!!!! For the next update make a lockdown and Walt speaks!!!! Thanks.

Cool Update

This new version is great "System Failure" and heiroglyphs. The counter even gets crushed!!! FANTASTIC

DOWNLOAD NOW, V2 IN UP

Odd that its not up yet

it still not up whats wrong

maybe itll be up in a few hours

it still not up whats wrong

Allen, could you put it up on filefactory.com perhaps?

Hi allen Wu! Its Kevin here, I emailed you in the beginnig of the summer! :D Hope you make Version 2.0 good!!!

Good Luck!

It's not up yet. Give it a day or two.

v2.0 doesnt seem to be on

where?

I just uploaded the v2.0. Unfortunately, I didn't add a fullscreen mode. It wasn't working too well. But for now, enjoy v2.0!

i just got this simulator and it works pretty good. a timer and a monitor appeared wit >: in the screen. enter the code 4 8 15 16 23 42 and press enter to reset the timer. it is awesome.

I've been working on it the last few days. It should be finished in a week or less, hopefully.

Yes you are right it does not do that but most hatch sims run that way.

It's great Allen Wu But....YOU NEED TO TELL US WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO UPDATE IT!!!!!!!! TELL US!!!!!

lbmcashboy@hotmail.com, it didnt do that. Actually we have never seen the numbers entered incorrectly and pressing execute. Apparently it just doesnt let you enter the numbers. But your entire "Goes to another row" thing is false :/

Entering the code wrongly will do this-

>: 4 8 15 16 24 42
It will now go to a new row-

>: 4 8 15 16 24 42
>:

As long as you keep entering the wrong code it will just fill up the screen-
>: 4 8 15 16 24 42
>: dghvgdvhdt
>: yhvbrybhvyrhtyvbrjvynjvryu
>: erhvtvrhyjbjyrvrnyjmny

When the correct code is entered the screen clears-

>: 4 8 15 16 24 42
>: dghvgdvhdt
>: yhvbrybhvyrhtyvbrjvynjvryu
>: erhvtvrhyjbjyrvrnyjmny
>: 4 8 15 16 23 42>>>>>>>>

>:

Thats what happens if the code is entered inncorect.

you can also enter the numbers here
<a href="http://www.enterthecode.com</a>Enter The Code</a>

If you enter the wrong code nothing happens, and the numbers you entered are still on screen, but the countdown keeps going.

im so exited when you make a newer verion of this counter i think nothing because when michel was talking to walt he was pressing letters and you are only ment to input numbers

Quick question: Do we know what happens when you enter the wrong code?

Listen, I'm a total Lost freak, and I've done TONS of research. So much, it would probably be like, a novel! So, instead of wasting my time writing everything I know, if any of you want to find out the secrets of Lost, go to www.4815162342.com. PS-You also need to go to this website if you're working on mission 11 for the M:I:3 Global Hunt; to finish mission 11, go to the URL:http://www.4815162342.com/gallery.htm, then highlight the pic of JJ directing on the water.

Sorry, the site is www.losthatch.com . (first time said it wrong)

Just to add more detail to what has been said...

When it gets to 1min the alarm goes off every certain amount of seconds until it gets to 30seconds, then increases in speed. Then when it gets to last 10seconds it increases so theres no space whatsoever in between the beeps. Then it flips to zero and THEN goes to the Glyphic's (one at a time) and you can still enter the code when it is doing this. Also when it is changing to the glyphic's theres a loud powering up typed sound too. Then once the glyphics are up the screen comes up with "SYSTEM FAILURE" over and over again with a voice saying "System Failure" over and over again also. In this time you can enter the numbers, but make it so that its extremly hard to do so since its supposed to be extremly, and I mean extremly difficult at this point to enter the numbers. Then the whole thing ends after X amount of time pushing it. The best place to get all the sound files from is www.lost-hatch.com .

Allen, this how the countdown works-

Countdown starts at 108, counts down until 4 minutes at which point the beeping sounds. At 1 minute, the different more frantic but with a few seconds in between each chime. At 10 seconds, an alarm with no space in between each chime sounds. When the countdown reaches 000:00, an ambient startup sound comes on and the countdown starts flipping manically and hieroglyphs start to appear, I'll send you the hieroglyphs if you want as well. You can still enter the code and then it flips back to 108:00 as normal. If you leave the countdown to go, many system failure messages come up and then an electromagnetic cloud starts with more ambient sounds. It is not until the electromagnetic cloud starts that you cannot enter the code and flip it back to 108:00

Could someone do me a favor and post how the countdown works. I haven't been following the show recently, and I know that a lot has changed.

I need to know what needs to happen for ____ to occur...

Is there a fullscreen mode?

And do any of you know when it will be updated with hylogliphics and system failure?

To both Wise Ones stop fighting!!!!! iT'S for feedback not fighting your going to get us all banned any way The Wise One #1 i think that it is a possibility like you said. I have pressed the button for 540 minutes so it is pretty easy! Keep up the good work
Allen Wu!

Or it could be an indication that you need more of a social life

Yes, I did, 12 days isnt that much, 108 mintues is 1 hour and 40 mintues, waking up for 1 minutes isnt that hard really, it isnt. You should try, its a good will power test.

Yes I know that you fucking thick eejit, but according to you, you have press the button for 302hours aka 12days.

So you expect us to believe your carrying a laptop around for 12 days, and pressing a button every 108mins with/without sleep?

Fucking twat

You thought that was pretty funny didnt you? You do know that the Owners can see that the IP addresses are different? What a dumb ass you are.

Anyway, Allen Wu, You really need to add some more features.

I havent really pushed it 168 times, only twice :( Im just a lying dickhead, sorry

Good Widget, but some problems:

1- There's no flipping sound
2- The beeps are off in one place, when you hit 0:59. the loud Klaxxon sounds once every 2 seconds, you have it every second, that only happends at 30 seconds.
3- Sometimes, for Win 2000 ( I have it on my laptop so I can take it with me, so I never ever miss the button, i pushed it 165 times already) you cant select the text area.
4- Colors are a bit wrong.

Im realy realy sorry to say this but....I used your widget every day for about a month i thought it was the best.......but now.....Im looseing faith in it im allready trying about 8 differant hatch simulators and if you dont hurry up and make this update soon im sure others will lose faith to The lost Hatch experience was last updated 20 days ago and he is almost finished the next update....Needless to say this is still the best of the lot but if you want to keep people in to it Please wright a list of whats going tobe in the Next update.... lbmcashboy

Everyone, the owner of this clock has ditched it. Go and download the one which actually gets updated from the list below

Great Man Very nice Alarm!
All i think it needs is the fliping (to get back to 108) after the enter button is press.
Does it do that already and i did not hear it???

I like your widget, the sounds are really authtic. If only you can add effects like the lockedown, system failure, and chat. May be you should work with the person from this widget:
http://www.lost-forum.com/showthread.php?t=40338
It should have your monitor and timer graphics and sounds wiht his effects, that'd be awsome!

Hey does anybody know the Konfabulator website of "The hatch experience game"? Thank you

Desmond23: You need to open the widget with the Yahoo Widget engine. You can download it here: http://widgets.yahoo.com/

TO EVERYBODY: I still plan on updating the widget. Sorry for the long wait, but I've been busy with school crap.

well my problem with the stupid programs is something about directx. But something like microsoft directx sound. I think this is retarted because it shouldnt need directx. I dont know why this has been creating problems. The website called //zach.dmarie.com has to files but only one downloads correctly, and the one that does download doesnt work right, and has problems with the sound like with directx. If somebody knows how to fix this please help. It helps if you have that program to create your own lost widget. Its called microsoft visual studio 2005, and probably isn't a download, you probably need to buy it at like a computer store.

well i downloaded it and all it does when i click to open it it opens with window media player and say theres an error. please help!

Firstly, by the looks of it he isnt updating it anymore/isnt active here now.

Secondly about the Lost Hatch Experience one, theres apparently a problem with the sound files at the moment.

Ok this made me mad, I downloaded the hatch experience one and it needs the latest directx. I downloaded the latest directx and installed it and it still doesnt work. It gives me a window each time i open it saying quit, continue, or details. Do any of you guys know how to help me with this, because I tried almost everything to get it to work but I need some help with it. So if you guys can help it will be much apreciated.

It shookand disapeared? The same thing happened to me when I entered the wrong code, mabie you misstyped it?

What will be in the next update and when will it be (please reply)

What will be in the next update and when will it be (please reply)

i tried typing in the numbers but when i hit execute, the widget shook and disappeared... i wonder why...

please anybody feel free to point out any sites with better updated versions for like windows. ANd no dont say lost tools cuz that program is messed up and will never open. If there are better versions with heiroglyphics please feel free to say but this widget needs updates.

how do you move the widget

URGENT

are you guys gona get hirogliphics and system failure soon

I can't open the file it asked me to pick a program help¬ I wanna widget

The current version of the widget, 1.2, will not harm your PC. nor put it to sleep or reboot it. What happens at the end affects only the widget.

And if anyone has a question, try looking for it on this page before asking something that may have already been answered.

URGENT

If I dont enter the code will it shutdown put to sleep or do anything to my computer. I really want it but not if it will damage my computer

P.S. I have windows

STOP ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS!

Its a Widget, its an application for a Yahoo Widget Program.

Understand eejits? :D

If this is for Windows, and if it's a Widget, how exactly do you use it??

yo, I click on the file, but it dosen't open! What's up with that ?!

YOU NEED!!!!!!!!!!!! HIROGLIPHICS AND SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE the game isn't fun without them

1. Full screen
2. System Failure
3. better sounds

Also can someone help me i dont have the ambient hatch sounds or the orientation film, what am i doing wrong. The alarm is working.

Thanks!

Yes Zeke, you can close the widget and widget engine whenever you want.

Could someone answer a quick question for me; I haven't downloaded this widget yet, but if you start the game, can you like, quit- so you don't have a beeping noise every 108 minutes?

today i was about to push the button but i got distracted so it went to zero. then a plane crashed in my backyard

Can u make a version so that we don't have to download the widget engine, i don't want all that crap, i just want the simulator!!

thanks,
Locke
P.S. Please do that becuse it looks so cool!!

can u make the widget keep track of how many times u pressed the button? that'd be neat

Is there any way to make something happen on your computer if you don't push the button to spice things up? someone said messing with dll files, dunno if he was being serious or not though.

Allen: Instead of getting WavePad, you could use MediaCoder instead:

http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/

"MediaCoder is a free universal audio/video batch transcoder, putting together lots of excellent audio/video codecs and tools from the open source community into an all-in-one solution, capable of transcoding among different audio/video formats with many extra features."

Namaste.

ututruiry

Omar: It sounds like you need to download the Yahoo Widget Engine to use it.

Get it here: http://widgets.yahoo.com/

And Allen, I know this would be a pain, having read your notes in the zip file, but the Arial font should be replaced by the Helvetica font.. it is the one used on the clock in the show.

How are you ment to use this widget, I have Windows XP and when I open it up it say format unrecognised? Please someone help me! My E-Mail - l3adl3oy@hotmail.co.uk

To all those looking for the Lost/Dharma Clock Mac Widget, it is here:

http://www.skia.net/dev.php

Scroll down a little and you'll see the Swan logo.

Also Allen, you could extract and use the sounds from the Mac widget as they are perfect (kinda like ryan said on May 9). You'll have to convert them from AAC/M4A/MP4 to wav though. You can do that using this: http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/ (it's free)
but you will have to download some extras. The program will download them for you when you are using it if you need them.

Namaste... and.. good luck. :)

1. Gotta make that full screen. It would be cool if you programmed the thing that the Ctrl button will replace the execute button, it means, that you enter the code and press Ctrl. And the hieroglyphs missing too. It good, man, just finish it.

This widget was really cool!
I used it every Wednesday – pushing the button to gear up for watching Lost (sounds silly, but it was strangely amusing lol).
I just came back here to see if you made any updates to the widget because I’ve tried some other “Dharma hatch computer” simulators that I found at http://www.lost-forum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=126

Great job. I know that a lot of people are pressuring you for an update, and I agree with most of what they are requesting. I realize that you have a life on the outside, but you’ve created something really amazing and we all just want to see you take the widget to its completion. Especially since Season 2 is over and there won’t be any more clock additions that we know of. Once again, truly amazing work. Thank you and namaste.

As others have said, there needs to be more modificatios:
-Full Screen Mode
-Clock and Computer Scree should not be dominantly on the top, I can't see other programs because they are always anchored on top
-Numbers flippig one by one into hieroglyphic mode
-As they are flippig, System Failure should keep going ad going
-Program should not terminate unless user specifies it in preferences, i.e. it should only shut up after the code is entered.

Is there a version for pc with Hieroglyphics and such also?

Hey Allen or anybody else, can you guys tell me the link to the mac version of the timer with the heiroglyphics?
thx

Ill make it a 4 when it does more than just shake, Hierogylphics come up, the even faster 10second beep sound (yes, at 10seconds it gets even faster), and the system failure stuff :)

Then I can officially give you so much love its unbelivable....

little suggestion: widget engine save the logs that how many times the button is pushed, like "922041:52 accepted..etc." or "922044:16 SYSTEM FAILURE..etc."

This is a great widget, but I think you should update it so that the heiroglyphics appear when the button isn't pressed in time, along with the system failure stuff that's shown in the later episodes of Season 2, rather than the shaking or whatever happens when the numbers aren't put in. (I forgot :P)
