Anyone else having problems with getting MADIS data (and plotting them)?
This started just a few days ago. I hope it's a temporary problem with them.

Exact same experience here. Current bulletins will still plot in 1.22.
Apparently something may have broken on this in 2.0x.

I can't get HURRICANE to plot using the same URLs and script as v1.22.

Has ANYONE gotten hurricanes to plot since 2.0x?

The current bulletins WILL plot in 1.22 still. It must be a 2.0x version problem.
(I don't think they changed the format enough to cause a problem)

Ok ... I see what you're getting.
I upgraded to 2.07, and it will NOT plot. I get the same error you get, and using the same URL and script.
It still will plot in 1.22.

Is ANYONE getting HURRICANE to plot???

Hmmm, there are probably others better at this than me, but ...
Did you erase registry entries when you uninstalled and installed?
(only if you still have the registration key, though)
Are you testing this with the short file I suggested, or the huge get everything from everybody script above?

See other message on RADAR SCRIPTING WITH 2.06 for my script help

Alright, here is my full script, getting maps, data, and radar, etc. plotting, etc.

Getting data uses ; to remark out unused sources, since I changes sources from time to time, mainly due to outages.
Some are for surface, some for buoys

For BILL ... after you load up your map, then ...
download,http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/raw/wt ... \hurr2.dat
ingest,c:\DAdirectory\data\hurr2.dat
HURRICANE

sub your own location of file for c:\DAdirectory\data\hurr2.dat

It really should work.

You can get Hurr center bulletin/progs, and plot with HURRICANE.
What exactly do you want to do?
