DragnLord's weather script

[cache]

Still not on tcl archive, are we waiting on webmaster to upload it? I went to your personal website and seen old version listed.

Alphanumeric (letters and numbers) names are still an issue though.

Found an easy way to fix the alpha-numeric issue:

Code: Select all

<       if {[regexp {[0-9]} $location]} {
---
>       if {[regexp {[0-9]{5}} $location]} {

Could prolly use anchors in there as well, just to distinguish a zip from other alpha-numeric names. Tested this with several names from antarctica that have alpha-numeric names, with and without hyphens, etc. Seems to be working well for me.

thanks, I tried that when I added \s and \Z to the switches and forgot to follow through on all the iterations (only changed the first)

nice to see it work for 7-M Ranch, California now

Script changed to fix non-U.S. forecasts and U.S. precipitation report.

I may remove the precipitation from the script (since it's only applicable to U.S. locations, and this is designed for international weather).

[DragnLord]

Three months ago I converted the script to use TCL's http package.
Since I changed it over I have seen a few posts about problems with windrop using http, and that version of the script is slower.

I will be keeping the current method (TCL socket) for my script.

getting error

after doing .wzf <city> <country> which displays correctly with no problem
then once that report has completed doing another city, example: .wz london uk brings up

Tcl error [pub_wz]: can't use non-numeric string as operand of "-"

rehash of eggdrop gives another successful display provided its only the command .wz <city> <country>

do .wzf <city> <country> again and it returns error as above once more
version is 3.5.9-a.tcl

wondered if it does this with you or if its already been raised?
cheers

version is 3.5.9-a.tcl

READ THE FIRST POST, I DO NOT SUPPORT OUTDATED VERSIONS!

Update to the latest version, v3.8.2, which is in egghelp's tcl archive.

[redtube]

ok thank you, I got the latest version now
can you add the pressure from weather underground into your script is this possible, you got moon and sunrise - ta?

[thegleek]

i know, i'm already getting ready to be derided for daring to ask (you really have a way with people)

but: is there a change list somewhere?

I second that motion... What happened to the revision changes?

Code: Select all

##
##      Version Info
##
##      v3.5.9-a Feb 28 2006
##      -Changes due to website
##      -Added variable for output method
##
##      v3.5.9 Feb 26 2006
##      -Changes to forecastp

^ taken from old weather3.5.9a.tcl code ^

The current weather3.8.2.tcl doesn't have anything in it nor is
there a website that maintains the changelog revisions for each release...

[Alchera]

## Script: Weather V3.7-a
## Orignal code by: murf
## Modified and fixed by: DragnLord

... nor is there a website that maintains the changelog revisions for each release...

This forum would be where changes, fixes or other pertinent information would be posted.

[DragnLord]

Changes are done as needed to keep the script operational, if you want details on what has changed use a program that compares files (I stated that before).
I got tired of 97% of revisions stating "fix for website changes".

I am not obligated in any manner to include a list of revisions, neither in the script nor on a website. To put this further, I am not obligated to publicly release my scripts.

This script is maintained for my own use, released to the public only due to sheer generosity.

SIMPLE SOLUTION:
If you have a problem with the lack of listed revisions, stop using the script.

[DragnLord]

can you add the pressure from weather underground into your script is this possible, you got moon and sunrise - ta?

Of course this is possible, however I have no personal use for this. It may make it into some future version.

i just upgraded to the latest version of the script (was previously using 3.5 i think, still worked though).

now this latest version wont work for me

Tcl error [pub_wz]: can't read "wz_quiet": no such variable

set errorInfo

Currently: can't read "wz_quiet": no such variable
Currently: while executing
Currently: "lsearch -exact $wz_quiet $chan"
Currently: (procedure "pub_wz" line 12)
Currently: invoked from within
Currently: "pub_wz $_pub1 $_pub2 $_pub3 $_pub4 $_pub5"

[DragnLord]

did you restart your bot?
by default the script has:

Code: Select all

set wz_quiet "#eggdrop"

so your error makes no sense, unless you have removed that setting

[minted]

just restarted it, and it appears to be working perfect.
no idea what was wrong.
i fugured rehashing would have been enough.

tnx for the speedy responce.
