DragnLord's weather script

[quick]

DragonLord, thanks for your work on this script... good to see someone keeping it up to date.

Have a issue/question... did you guys remove the option to output and accept commands from pubic channel.

ie. In the channel #test someone types:

.wz 90210

and the bot outputs publicly in channel #test

Is this not possible anymore, or am i just blind heh....

Thanks

[DragnLord]

Read the instructions ( bifocals may help )

This is simply a matter of "RTFM"

( Also read page 1 of this topic. )

You're right DragonLord, I am blind... I must have read over the entire script 10 times, and yet i missed that in the comments section!

Thanks

DragnLord, thanks for keeping this script alive!

I have a lil problem here, not sure if its normal or not...

When the weather site is 'down' temporary.. and my chatter tries to check their weather using .wz zip ... The bot can't get to it since site is down... so my computer processes hit 100% and stay that way till I fix it, like end it and reconnect it... Make sure no one uses weather till site is back up....

Same problem above happened before then I came here and saw you had an updated script, I added it and it fixed it... So basically when my processes stay on 100% after someone uses weather, I come here if no update, I notice the weather site is down...

Thanks, cache

I haven't had this problem frm any bot I have on a UNIX shell. If you are eperiencing this on a win32 version of eggdrop, the problem may be limited to that operating system.

I actually have a weird problem myself. Getting the forecast for a location in Canada results in nothing being displayed past the weather section (as below):

Alchera !forecast Bathurst Canada
Almy Bathurst, New Brunswick -- 5:16 AM AST Updated: 5:00 AM AST
Almy Temp: -3 C Windchill: -5 C Humidity: 93%
Almy Conditions: Overcast Wind: (NW) 6 kmh
Almy
Almy Forecast

It appears the rest of the world is unaffected (maybe they just hate Canadians).

i get the same thing with our bot (windrop)

Unfortunately it's due to a website inconsistency.
I'll see if I can work out a dynamic setting to fix it.

This should work until they get more creative.
It does work for Bathurst Canada.

Great Script! Been using it a while.

Any chance of posting the changes you make to the script when it is patched? Perhaps it would allow folks using it to help at times and certainly would improve the learning curve of those trying to do some TCL coding on their own.

Thanks!

it's easy enough using diff to get the changes in each version.
For those people using Windows and windrop, I'm sure there are utilities for comparing files.

A lot of times there are several "tweaks" to the code made, along with changes to make certain aspects work again.

I am still looking into setting variables for language output, however that is not a priority for me. The main priority I have is keeping the script's original functionality.

Hey dragon,

I'm on newest version of your weather script.. but when I use it.. it shows a large chunk of html in the room... does it need updated again?

I have the one you released other day...
