Don't feel bad when I use the [1] variable and alerts are 0 then I get "set txt" for an output.
I haven't tried to use an "if", "elseif", "then" statement in the code.
That's when I'd probably really screw things up.

well, i can still work on it for US and Europe, V9000 was only US locations for alerts, so there is that.

@jst_joe - yes, you will need an if to check on number of alerts
ill see if i can put together an alerts display function, that will be able to take into account all the possible outcomes

You are da-man!
I think I'll give it a shot a little later just to see if I can.
What's the worst that could happen? 8o
I'll just have to start over again. ]:D

It just hit me: US and Europe!

Not even Canada ... now I'm really 8.( 8o (who can take a monkey seriously)

I'll get a US address to test that's what I'll do.

Find some obscure, out of the way, little "Mayberry" (Hey Andy, hey Barney) type place and test away ...

. . . like NYC!

Well I added this if statement

--ALERTS SECTION #########################################################################
gap=13
ypos=420
ypos=ypos+gap
if alerts.number==0 then
out({fs=12,x=10,y=ypos,txt="Weather alerts: "..alerts.number,shadow=1})
elseif alerts.number>=0 then
out({fs=12,x=10,y=ypos,txt="Weather alerts: "..alerts.number,shadow=1})
ypos=ypos+gap+gap
out({fs=14,c=0xFF0000,x=10,y=ypos,txt=alerts[1].description,shadow=1})
ypos=ypos+gap
wrapy=out({wrap_len=60,wrap_gap=15,fs=12,x=10,y=ypos,txt=alerts[1].message_heading,shadow=1})
ypos=ypos+gap+wrapy
wrapy=out({wrap_len=60,wrap_gap=15,fs=12,x=10,y=ypos,txt=alerts[1].message_body,shadow=1})--]]
end

and it got rid of the "set txt" messages.
Then I set my zip to Boston who's having a Winter Storm Watch and things seem to have worked.
And nothing broke.

A rope? I was thinking more along the line of a dog sled and half a dozen Huskies! O:)

I didn't think that you might not have seen the Pace Picante Sauce commercial in your neck of the woods.

Ahhh yes, the old "Pace Picante Sauce commercial" trick! What's that?

i think this should do it for US alerts

wun.lua https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/190 … ing.tar.gz

for the message, it looks like there is always 2 parts to it, with the top part sometimes being broken up into sub sections

alert data options
alerts.number
alerts[1].type
alerts[1].description
alerts[1].date
alerts[1].expires
alerts[1].message_heading
alerts[1].message_body[n] (this is a table so needs to be treated differently)
alerts[1].message_statement

im suing this code in my template

--ALERTS SECTION
local altx=10--top left x
local alty=350--top left y
local allw=15--line gap
out({x=altx,y=alty,txt="Alerts: "..alerts.number})
if alerts.number>0 then
	for i=1,alerts.number do
	ypos=alty+allw
	out({x=altx,y=ypos,txt=alerts[i].description})--description
	ypos=ypos+allw
	nexty=out({c=0xFF8C00,x=altx,y=ypos,txt=alerts[i].message_heading,wrap_len=85})--heading text
		for n=1,#alerts[i].message_body do--this loop prints the body text
		ypos=ypos+nexty+allw
		nexty=out({x=altx,y=ypos,txt=alerts[i].message_body[n],wrap_len=85})
		end
	ypos=ypos+nexty+allw
	out({c=0x00BFFF,x=altx,y=ypos,txt=alerts[i].message_statement,wrap_len=85})--statement text
	end
end

@mrpeachy,
The alerts section works GREAT (sorry Sector11 you can use my zip if you like ).
Just to show readability with extremes in backgrounds.

I know the white text on a white background looks fuzzy but it's still readable.

That's not bad at all ... I'm still looking for a smallish out of the way place that might prove interesting ... got run out of NYC by a mob with a rope ... best guess; they didn't like my homemade chimichurri.

That white text isn't so bad with the 'shadow' it looks chiseled in place.

Test with one of these:
F5F5DC # Beige
DCDCDC # Gainsboro

or a little more radical:
FFDEAD # NavajoWhite
B0E0E6 # PowderBlue

As my bg or text color?

I was thinking 'text colour' when I posted that, black shadow.

I've been using beige as my text colour for about 2|3 weeks now with new wun conkys. I like it.
Off white that isn't intrusive in it's white intensity.

I also like

CD5C5C # IndianRed

rather than just 'red' that's too intense. (opinion)
Beige Powder_Blue Indian_Red
Beige = 27° PowderBlue = ±28° IndianRed = ↑27
Oops: B0E0E6 # PowderBlue

very nice
hopefully it will hold for other kinds of alerts too!

@sector11 - if you are looking for a test location, somewhere in Europe that has bad weather would be good!
I have no idea what a European weather alert looks like apart from the demonstration one on the wunderground site

Very nice and easy on the eyes, I think the Gainsboro looks good also.
