Real time weather (METAR) on your server missions HOW TO

[Neon]

It should work just fine in 1.5.8 but I cannot be completely sure because I use 2.2.

Is this working in the 1.5.8 version

1.5.8 Yes, 2.5 dropped today though, will be interesting to see if this still works.

 

 

Due your instructions are not very clear.

What does this mean

 

After installing python open a dos window as admin and install requests using pip install requests

 

What requests?

 

That confused me a little too... Just type "pip install requests" into the command prompt after you have installed Python. Didn't seem to matter which directory i was in.

 

 

Press Start.

 

Type CMD.

 

Open command prompt .

 

Type pip install requests and then press enter.

It works.

[vTJG17_Jemi]

Hi , I want like this tool to try.

 

Can you make a install video please?

[uscstaylor]

Yes that would be a huge help!

2nd

 

Get an API key to grab real time weather from the internet from www.checkwx.com

- register an account and then login and go to www.checkwx.com/apikey

- fill in the details (remember to say non commercial use)

- might take up to 24 hours for him to activate it for you but you can check by going to

- https://www.checkwx.com/user/api once you have it copy paste it somewhere safe

- dont give your key out to anyone else you only get a certain amount of free reads per month

- Our server restarts 4 times per day every 6 hours, so we said we would only use about 200 per month

- when filling in the form

 

 

What API key are you talking about?

 

I really want to use this but need help with this.

 

UPDATE GOT THE KEY but still need help to install

 

Sorry for delay in replying was on an enforced "holiday" from here

 

When you get your API key you need to edit the script and paste it into the following variable

s_api_key_checkwx = 'API STRING GOES HERE'

then save the file

[Picchio]

Need some help here... can't get my head around this error I keep getting. Any advice?

[Picchio]

Hi,

Just made the correction; now getting

 

"WARNING: specified miz file does not exist"

Edited May 31, 2018 by Picchio

[Picchio]

Heads-up.

I found a solution. Here's the correction it accepts:

 

 

SET MISSION_PATH="D:\Games\MISSION\\"

 

 

Everything else is set as you indicated.

Urrà! :D

[tn_prvteye]

Just out of curiosity, could you theoretically use python to randomly change only the mission time and inject it into the MIZ file? Been looking for a way to do this forever.

[Johnny_Rico]

This system allows you to use either realtime or presets, I suppose it could be changed to add random as well

 

 

I will have a look at this later on tonight when I get time

Edited June 13, 2018 by Johnny_Rico

[tn_prvteye]

Great! Thanks for the help. This one small detail has been driving me crazy for a while.

[Johnny_Rico]

is it just time of day you want changed ? randomised i mean

[tn_prvteye]

Yep.. Randomized weather would be nice, but time of day is what I'm mainly after.

 

I've got a mission I created (by stealing alot of other's LUA code) that a pretty good random mix of CAS/CAP stuff going on, and having a random mission time would be perfect for it.

[Johnny_Rico]

updated

 

 

set

b_update_weather = False

 

 

and use rand for time parameter

[tn_prvteye]

Wow! That was fast! Thank you SO much for this.

[tn_prvteye]

Well, I can't seem to get it to work. I can get the weather to update (I tested to make sure had installed everything right), but the time doesn't change, This is a snippet that might be where I'm having a problem.

I can post the entire debug if you want. Although I have a feeling I'm just missing something simple. Thanks again for this, I'm really grateful.

[tn_prvteye]

You are the MAN! Works perfectly now. It's a small thing, but this has been like the Holy Grail for me.

 

You rock!

# you might need to run this in a command line window if this module is not installed

open a dos window

paste or type

pip install requests

press the enter button

I’ll wil try this asap, Thanks for the quick reply!

 

[PROBLEM SOLVED]

oke i "pip install request" worked, i had to be specific in CMD "C:\Users\tommy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Scripts>pip install requests" wich makes sense.

but i can't/don't know how to set real time or any other time? where exactly do i have to do this?
