murf's weather script v2112 =p

[rosc2112]

Major changes:

Code: Select all

## May 2006    - Added 'Observed at'  'Dew Point' 'Barometer' and 'Moonrise/set' data.
##             - Fixed various bugs, removed various redundant code, tabinated script..
## May 20 2006 - Wunderground changed "Observed At" to "Observed at" doh... Fixed script. 
##
## May 21 2006 - Added "Wind Gust" and "Barometer Rising/Falling" data. 
##               Tweaked the display output..
##             - Added Lat/Lon by request.
##             - Added US Storm Advisories/Warnings.
##             - Added Elevation
##             - Added Snow depth
##             - Fixed "Nowcast"
##             - Fixed "Windchill"
##             - Changed Forecast output.
##             - Put in a var to use an IP (or hostname if prefered) to connect 
##               to wunderground.com because my ISP's dns sucks :P
## May 22 2006 - More bugfixes..Kick an error to non-us locales trying to 
##               get precip/record data, no sense lagging them to [censored] 
##               just to find out after opening the socket the data is only for 
##               the US.
##               Ohh, and close the damn socket on returning errors in the 
##               precip code...
##             - Added record high/low temp data as a switch (.wz -r) and as 
##               '.wz record' and as a configurable default with 
##               'set wz_default_rec'
## May 24 2006 - Fixed -u so it properly returns the bad syntax error msg.
##             - Added length of day data, since some locations don't have 
##               sunrise/sunset (eg, barrow, alaska)
##             - Fixed '$location' with 'string trim' cos it was choking on empty spaces :P
##             - Added '.wz -d remove' to allow user to unset a default city.
##             - Made a test page with ALL data elements for testing :P
##             - Fixed regexp parsing of unusual moon html format after moonset
##
## Todo:
##      - Complete re-write for efficiency :P
##        It would presumably be much faster to grab the url, then work on the 
##        contents in memory, instead of repeatedly pulling the data off the socket.
##        So, porting it to use the tcl-http package would probably be better..
##      - Remove *unnecessary* foreign country code... 
##        wunderground *does* allow searching for 'city country'
##        Get rid of requiring a comma for city, state for US locales, as well.
##        And get rid of requiring US state abbreviations.
##        This will be fixed when I port the script to tcl-http.

I'll release it once its perfect =)

Ok it's perfect now

Still need to port it to the tcl http package..Maybe tomorrow

Interesting that you have used my script for most of "your" coding and give no credit for that. I request that, since you don't want to credit my work, that you download murf's 3.4.1 script off the archive and go from there.

[rosc2112]

Its at the bottom. I tried to offer the changes to you, you didn't want them. So I published my own copy. Take it or leave it.

[DragnLord]

I don't mind you putting out a script, I didn't see any credits to anyone else when I read all the way through it.

[incith]

A support thread is no place for issues such as this; use private messages.

you don't have to use my script, there are several other scripts out there (including a new one based on mine)

Seems you don't mind too much.

[DragnLord]

Seems you don't mind too much.

I'm glad that you could read the post in which I clearly stated

I don't mind you putting out a script

and were able to reiterate it.
Did you have anything actually new to add?

[incith]

What's with your blatantly arrogant attitude, since we're not taking this to private.

Edit: Also, it's in my oppinion that attempting to demand credit for an originally open-source script to begin with.. is just uncool.

[rosc2112]

Maybe the moderator can delete the replies not actually related to bug reports and feature requests for this script? Maybe start a new thread "Weather Script F(l)ameness"?

[rosc2112]

Added some more features:

May 24 2006 - Made the number of forecast time periods a configurable variable "max_forecast" (limit: 14)
May 31 2006 - Added US Zipcodes in output.
Jun 10 2006 - Minor tweak for f/c temp calcs, to give more precision.
- Added Lunar phase date data (full/new/1st quarter/last quarter dates)

Same url as above.

[rosc2112]

Small quickfix to make the script work for countries with only one reporting city.

In that situation, wunderground goes directly to the city's page, so the script's original "proc country_page" function fails, because it expects to get a page with a list of cities, which is searched for the correct city name, then that city url is returned to the main part of the script for retrieving/parsing.

An example country with only one reporting city is Malta, where the only city available is Luqa.

Eventually the "proc country_page" will be removed, as its not needed. This is planned as part of porting the script to http-tcl.

Also added "Ceiling" data into the script's output.

New version of the script is located at the usual place:

Just so no one claims I stole this fix from DL, I fixed the problem with hyphenated cities before DL's script has been made available

-Kid tested, mother approved.

[DragnLord]

helpful hint: your code like

Code: Select all

if {[regexp -- {-p\s ?} $location]}

won't work for people using a default set on the eggdrop and there is no space after the switch
(it won't give precipitation info with defaults set for US cities)
example:
set default to Washington, DC then try

Code: Select all

.wz -p

(same thing applies to moon and sun info also)

[rosc2112]

Tnx, fixed.

[rosc2112]

Fixed a problem with the regexp for the Precipitation code. Problem noted by hsw1955.

BTW, I'm almost finished porting this script to the http package and will make an announcement for that when it's ready. Then I will no longer be maintaining the old version.
