The weather script, from version 3.5 and higher, now requires that a channel be set to +weather for public displays.
(This is stated in .tcl, however it seems people are having trouble reading that part.)

From DCC/telnet chat partyline:
.chanset #channelname +weather
to make all channels active:
.chanset * +weather

This feature was added as a certain type of flood control.

neither I did... thx for stating out .

[DragnLord]

It definitely wasn't just you. Had 20 emails in 2 days about that.
Figured this would be easier then just saying "Reread the included info." about it.

[DragnLord]

Submitted 3.5.1 to the tcl archive here.

Found out that the script will display "Wind Gust:" information instead of the regular "Wind:" if it was available. (corrected)

Changed the "Moon Phase:" information displayed.

[YooHoo]

is this tcl only working for USA, or worldwide? many ozzies from down under are screamin thier heads off at me lol

[DragnLord]

The script reports international weather, just as murf's script was originally intended. murf has stopped working on the script and I am now attempting to keep the script up with website changes.

Please read the header information in the tcl file.

I am in Peru and weather script works very well, I don't have problems.
It's with basic configuration.

3.5.3 fixes case issues on some webpages

[DragnLord]

Updated to 3.5.5
wunderground fairly recently separated major islands from their closest country.

[DragnLord]

This is such a minor update that it's not getting a new numeric.

weather3.5.5-a is out

[Elleroth]

Getting error with 3.5.5a when requesting ".wz" public in +weather channels:


[18:04] Tcl error [pub_wz]: can't read "outupd": no such variable


I looked through the code to see if there's anything I could spot that was out of place or missing and didn't notice anything that should prevent it from working, but I'm no code guru.

I received the same error.
So did a few other users that have the same script.
I think we are on hold until the script can be updated.

you will certainly be on hold at least until you post traceback of the error - read the top sticky post in Script Help forum, it applies to this forum as well

[18:04] Tcl error [pub_wz]: can't read "outupd": no such variable

The error is caused (a new error btw) when the site isn't updated. The script looks for the keyword "Updated:" on the site. I worked around it easily.

Find this line:

Code: Select all

puthelp "$outtarg : \002$city\002 -- $localtime $outupd $updtime"

.. and change to:

Code: Select all

   if {$updtime != ""} {
       puthelp "$outtarg : \002$city\002 -- $localtime \002Updated:\002 $updtime"
   } else {
   	puthelp "$outtarg : \002$city\002 -- \002Updated:\002 N/A"
   }

At least the script will work until DragnLord can permanently fix it.
