A new version of the AI-WX Weather Door is now available for download from my BB
S at firesidebbs.com telnet port 23231 or from the website at firesidebbs.com. V
ersion 1.2 fixes a few issues found in the previous version.
*Fixes issue with the Linux version not displaying colors correctly and not clea
ring the screen when caller is using NetRunner terminal.
*Many UI enhancements.
Version 1.2 now has the ability to use Synchronet amd Mystic's ability to pass i
n the user's IP address to present weather data based on the user's location.
With this new ability and a slew of new command line parameters built into the d
oor, you can now create custom weather menu options on your BBS for functions wi
thin the door. So you can create a menu within your BBS just for weather and cre
ate options like...
(C)heck Wx Alerts For Your Location.
(E)xtended Forecast For Your Location
(R)adar For Your Location
or check for weather alerts for the user's location as part of the welcome flow
of your BBS.
etc...
When the user selects one of these option, the door will run the selected option
and then exit back out to the BBS. This presents a seamless integration to your
board as if it's part of the BBS software itself.
You can also create custom menu options for static locations by passing in the l
atitude/longitude of any place on the planet. So you can have menu options for a
n event (SpaceX Launch, Nascar Race) or a landmark (Breckinridge Ski Area, Acadi
a National Park, Eiffel Tower).
You can also now jump past the intro screen and right into the main menu or loca
tion search screen.
I tried to make it as flexible as possible based on user feedback.
Thanks for your time folks,
Lonewolf
