DragnLord's weather script

[DragnLord]

v3.8.6 has been released to compensate for some site changes in the forecasts

[Alchera]

I have checked this with mIRC users (as I use X-Chat) and they also see the following (Metric) output in the channel.

Temp: 8�C Humidity: 100%

I edited the file with Kate (UTF8). The same result when converted to ISO 8859-1.

[DragnLord]

for the degree symbol to properly display, client should UTF display enabled
the Windows clients mIRC, kvirc, and xchat have this feature (I've used them during testing)

Code: Select all

[12:14:38pm] <Mybot>  Charlottesville, Virginia -- 12:14 PM EDT Updated:  12:14 PM EDT
[12:14:40pm] <Mybot>  Temp: 25°C    Heat Index: 25°C    Humidity: 42%    
[12:14:42pm] <Mybot>  Conditions: Scattered Clouds   Wind: Calm

with UTF display enabled it shows fine (this was copied from mIRC)
ISO 8859-1 doesn't have the degree symbol

My apologies. I tracked down the "problem", and have no idea why it would be a problem either, but I re-edited the file in nano and it's displaying as expected.

Triggering a forecast yields nothing with this version however:

.wzf tunis-carthage tn

The older (3.8.3) script does. There is no error.

Thank you, I can't test every location.
New version posted.
If someone finds another location that doesn't work, let me know.

[DragnLord]

v3.8.7 has been submitted to the archive since there have not been any further reports of locations not working

[madboy]

DragnLord, excellent work on the script. i was wondering if there are any plans to implement a shorter forecast, something like the current day and night, or the current day, night, and next day?

"approaching the chaotic edge, elements show internal conflict. an unstable and potentially lethal region...."

[DragnLord]

I hadn't planned on it, however, putting that in place for the next version will be easy to do.

[DragnLord]

3.8.7a is a bug fix only, thanks to Dissy, no new features in this release

[DragnLord]

Due to wunderground's latest website changes it becomes apparent that a new parsing engine is needed.

I will post when a new version is available.

Hope it's not too much work, look forward to the new version and thanks for keeping it updated

[Hellster]

It's in Adelaide, South Australia << get the same output for every place i've tried.

Sure appreciate it. I've been using the script often. Of course, it still delivers the weather; it just looks a bit messy right now. Will certainly appreciate your next update. Thanks!

v4 is running at #weather on irc.shell-net.net for prerelease testing.

[DragnLord]

v4 has been sent to the archive, it may be a couple days until it's available from there. It is also available in the Downloads section of the Shell-Net forum.
