Hi. Users in channels I am running the script on have been finding it entertaining to cause my bot to flood out from doing a search for the weather on Uranus. User does the search "!weather Uranus" and the bot starts flooding raw HTML into the channel until it is flooded off the network. Anyone know of a fix?

Can we get rid of the Celsius reporting for those of us in the US somehow?

Note: Because of the post following this one, performing this fix is no longer necessary.

I apologize for my first post to start out this way, but I consider this to be of critical importance. To the point that if this fix is not implemented, you should not run this script.

So, I've discovered a HUGE problem with this script, in version 2.9b.

Reproducing the error is easy.

All one has to do, is type a command like the following:

!weather Canada

Or some other large, vague location with a very large number of towns and cities. As the script is designed to like multiple results, it will proceed to list each and every single town in Canada (or at least try), if you were to use my previous example.

This greatly increases the likelihood the bot will flood itself off of the network. Sure, users should just use the correct commands in the first place, but mistakes can be made, and as everyone knows, there's always people who, upon discovering exploits, will abuse them.


Fortunately, I discovered a way to fix it. Around line 878 or so, you will see the following lines of code:

Rather than get all crazy and make demands of other people, let me explain. This occured because wunderground has changed their markup when multiple results occur. No longer can you tell when the page has a ton of results appear. There used to be markup to indicate it was.

This isn't an emergency. You won't suffer a gunshot wound to the face. Nobody is outside your window waiting to "gut you like a fish". The thing is, most of you would have never noticed. So instead of making some huge deal about it with red text at the beginning and huge bold text at the end. I prefer to just get to the point... A new version... YAY!!

[MrBenC]

Sorry for coming off as a bit strong in my last post. I have since edited it to reflect the very prompt reply I received.

Thank you very much for that, by the way. I appreciate it, and I'm sure others do as well.


I guess I figured that someone would eventually start abusing the (now non-existent) loophole. The reason I did what I did, was because I didn't discover this problem on my own. Someone else told me, and even flooded my bot off of the network. Therefore, I figured it would soon become public knowledge.

In retrospect, I probably should have used a PM.

Hi there speechles. Hope you are well and having a good new year this year!

We have upgraded all our servers to use TCL 8.5, but they have all updated using msgcat.tcl 1.5 rather than 1.4. Is it possible you could made it so this weather script works for 1.5 as well? We can't really go backwards with TCL so I thought I would ask.

So, thank you for your time and as well for this script. It's been used a lot by us.

How do I make this script to show likethis:

chicken is using mirc scripting and boobsbot is using incith-weather 2.9c

I run this same script on my bot, when I saw your post I checked the cities you tried and got the same result. I also checked the website "classic.wunderground.com" and for the cities you posted the website showed station not reporting. I just rechecked both and it's now working on the bot and I checked the website and it shows the weather instead of station not reporting.

Hope this helps
