NOAA Script

[Richard]

This script has bee going for ages (it's great) but I noticed not long ago an error that stopped it dead.

Is there something that has changes or can be done to help this?

HS3 latest build.

NOAA Script - Issue Solved.

I should have known.... the -
Jon00NOAAWeatherHS3.ini was cleaned out of part of the configuration.
I was missing the configuration entries. Put in a new one, a couple of updates to location and working again (probably will run longer that the last run of 2+ years!)

Now what I see here again, I have had 2 .ini files removed or truncated in the last month after a HS3 / and Plugin update. Lost my /.../config/settings.ini 2 times (a skeleton version remained) and now this .ini had key lines removed. I can not explain how this happened?

This NOAA script has worked without issues for years! Thanks Jon for your stable and great adds to HS (2&3).



This is what was left, why and I can not explain what happened.

There have been many issues/bugs with ini file reading/writing in HS3. Rich had to write his own implementation to make it compatible with Linux. IMO there are still a few glitches as demonstrated here.

That makes more sense now.

I am going to make a copy of my *.ini files just to have a "backup up" until things get calmed down or cleared.

Thanks.
