ok I use samurize a lot and really enjoy its features etc, but I cant find anything like what I am looking for atm... Let me lay it out for you

Basically my internet disconnects a lot so I want a nice visual indication of the status of my line, and I want it in a certain way. Basically I would like a scrolling heart monitor like you get at hospitals, cept the program or samurize plugin would send a ping to a website every second or so and if successful would show a 'bump' like a heartbeat.. then if the pnig isnt received back I would like it to give me the flatlining sound as the bar scrolls along...
 
Have a look thrugh the Samurize plugins on the home page there are loads of things like what you want on there.

It depends on your router realy there are plugins that will access your showtime data from your router and tell you if its up or down.

There are also plugins that will talk to websites and give you feedback but nothing that i know of will give you the image and sounds that you want.

It could be done with an image set to show on recept of certain signal but i have never been able to get that working.
 
I was thinking more about this lately, and cause I am bored while WoW is down :p
Samurize is fine with reading different network adapters in and out data. Also there are def scripts to send data to a website and get a return. Is tehre an easy way to set up a completely unique natwork adapter like hamachi does? Just one for samurize to use. this way I could use that one to send and receive the ping and show a normal scrolling graph for it without having to specify the data it shows.
 
Ok I have the script running a simple ping command now. If the ping works ti tells me what the ping is, if it doesnt work it tells me Disconnected. The question is now how to translate this to graphics. At this point I would even be happy with it6 bieng a green ro a red blob, just so its easy to see

Click to expand...

This will be really, really crude. :p

Get two jpegs, green blob and red blob. Then have a tiny, resized web page to display one of them ( refresh at regular intervals ). You can get the script to change the filename, depending on what is happening. You can expand the concept to include alive.wav and flatline.wav.

Code: 
if ( disconnected )
{
    copy redBlob.jpg to temp.jpg
    delete display.jpg
    rename temp.jpg to display.jpg
}

Then learn some C++ / VB and code a proper solution. :D
