  • AI-WX Weather Door

    From Vincent Jacobs@1:19/43 to All on Fri Jan 2 05:09:26 2026
    Greetings folks,

    I've released version 2.1 of the AI-WX Weather Door and it's available on my BBS at firesidebbs.com:23231 or on the website at firesidebbs.com. This version has support for a new tile mapping API (rainbow.ai) that enables highly accurate weather radar using industry standard tile mapping.

    NOTE: The previous radar API (rainviewer) has been sunsetted and is no longer functional. You will need to visit the new API's website and obtain a free API key at https://developer.rainbow.ai/signup. After obtaining your free API key, you can either edit your lwsdoor.ini file and add your API key and switch the line that reads RadarTileAPI=V to read RadarTileAPI=R or you can download version 2.1, that only supports the new radar API from my BBS at firesidebbs.com:23231 or the website at firesidebbs.com.

    Also, I'm about to release a new free door game called Shut The Box, I'll post more later.

    Thanks everyone,
    Lonewolf

    tile mapping.

    ANSI and Sixel support in this door is awesome! Check it out, this is certainly the fullest featured weather door available for Windows and Linux systems. If you've got a DOS board running under Windows 10+, you can use it as well!
