DragnLord's weather script

[DragnLord]

3.6-a released to fix country code bug

[rosc2112]

Just a note to point out a typo or 2, and a suggestion.

In the top comments, you're still missing the [-s] option in the list, should be:

## Usage: .wz [-d] [-o] [-u imc] [-s][-t] [-p] [-short] [help] <city,state|zip> [country]

and further down, where -s is explained, sunset is spelled wrong =)

Also, some responses are sent by NOTICE, perhaps these should use the wz_msg_reply type that is defined? I usually change all the NOTICE to PRIVMSG to make it consistent (although it looks the same in my client, I don't use mirc

Once again and as always, thank you very much for keeping this script alive and doing a fine job

[rosc2112]

Ohh, I just noticed, canada is missing from the country list? Do we hate them for hockey, or for Anne Murray? <grin>

Might be helpful if you go on Dragons server and show them.

First post states 'The script contains the channel and IRC network to report bugs and requests to.'

[rosc2112]

Mea culpa

[DragnLord]

Script updated, wrong list was included.
No version change.

[rosc2112]

Well, I don't know if the bots on #weather @ shell-net does logging for submitting bug reports, and a written record here prolly won't hurt, so I'm posting this here as well =)


With the new additions to the ctlist/countries for australia, if I try to do like, !wz sydney au, it says there's multiple matches. Being that I'm american and we're stupid about geography, I don't know australia's regions and provinces, so perhaps the script should accept the 1st match of 'au' unless a more specific string is given, (eg, AU-SA)?

The change confused a few other people on the channel too, since we're used to using <cityname, au>

[DragnLord]

just need to add an -exact to the match
for an easy fix, remove the listings with extended code for now

NSW, VIC, ACT, SA, NT, QLD, WA & TAS (all States as we're a Federation).

Anyway, I am endeavouring to downgrade this script to a version that actually once worked! Last version to function correctly was weather3.5.9-a.

<Almy> Sorry no matches for usa
<Almy> Sorry, us is not supported. Try !country <country> or /msg Almy !country <country> to find your 2 letter country code.

"RTFM"

[DragnLord]

Code: Select all

Usage: .wz [-d] [-o] [-u imc] [-t] [-p] [-short] [help] <city,state|zip> [country]
      or /msg bot .wz [-d] [-o] [-u imc] [-t] [-p] [-short] <city,state|zip> [country]

     state should be the two letter state code
     country defaults to US and is not needed for US weather

Don't complain that the use of "us" as a country code does not work, it's in the instructions not to use it.

[Alchera]

Read my *edited* post!

I am aware the script does not use "usa/us" even though wunderground.com apparently does.

I was part way through editing/posting when I got sidetracked re-testing last two script releases before settling on using 5.9-a (again); at least we can once more do:

Code: Select all

!wz sydney au

.. etc

[DragnLord]

downgrade if you want to, new script has been posted for a while (before your post about "us" user errors)
3.6-b has no problems with Aussie requests.

I'm not sure where the -exact option would go, I only see one lsearch in the script and that already uses the -exact option. But in the meantime I did remove the extended codes.

Well, that doesn't tell me what cities are in which State.

This version works, just have to remove the extra States/Regions for the moment. Or learn Oz geography I guess
