Hi,

I don’t know what I am doing wrong, but I can’t get the map to centre on my location.

//New Module                    Rain Map
                {
                        module: "MMM-RAIN-MAP",
                        position: "top_right",
                                config: {
                                animationSpeedMs: 400,
                                colorizeTime: true,
                                defaultZoomLevel: 8,
                                displayTime: true,
                                displayTimeline: true,
                                displayClockSymbol: true,
                                displayOnlyOnRain: false,
                                extraDelayLastFrameMs: 1000,
                                extraDelayCurrentFrameMs: 3000,
                                markers: [
//                                      { lat: 49.41, lng: 8.717, color: "red" },
                                        { lat: 50.212, lng: 5.29, color: "green" },
                                ],
                                mapPositions: [
                                        { lat: 50.212, lng: 5.29, zoom: 9, loops: 1 },
                                ],
                                mapUrl: "https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png",
                                mapHeight: "420px",
                                mapWidth: "420px",
                                substitudeModules: [],
                                updateIntervalInSeconds: 300,
                        }
                },

Am I doing something completely wrong? It just centres around Rochefort, and not Cornwall.

EDIT: I’m an idiot… it should be -5 not 5 for lng. Fixed. Thank you for this!

The new rain-map is working wonderful. Does anyone know a map, with transparent or light transparent background?

MajorC

@majorc

Found it, in the custom.css use:

/**
 * MMM-RAIN-MAP
 */
.MMM-RAIN-MAP {
   opacity: 0.7;
}

MajorC

@Jalibu is there an option to limit the time period into the past and into the future?

Jalibu

@majorc not yet.
But you can open a feature request issue and say “please please please please”

I second. Please.

may not exactly what you want but I’m using this map

        mapUrl: "https://tiles.wmflabs.org/bw-mapnik/{z}/{x}/{y}.png",

which is nearly uncoloured.

Hey @Jalibu,

I noticed that the module started to throw errors in the logs.

Do you have an idea how this could be addressed?

Thanks again for your help!

@ph1tch
I can’t reproduce that.
Please open a Github issue for that, if the problem still exists.

mapUrl: “https://tiles.wmflabs.org/bw-mapnik/{z}/{x}/{y}.png”,

Thank you. I will go now with:

mapUrl: "https://cartodb-basemaps-{s}.global.ssl.fastly.net/light_all/{z}/{x}/{y}.png",

I think, this one is even more “lighter”.

@Jalibu I love the new module… got it going just in time to track Tropical Storm Nicholas

Displays Rainviewer.com radar layers on OpenStreetMap
Every 10 minutes a new weather snapshot is published
The snapshots of the last 2 hours are available, which show the weather events of the past
Additionally 3 layers are displayed as forecast of the next 30 minutes
Option to place multiple markers on map
Option for multiple, alternating map positions
Option to only show in current rainy weather conditions. Works only together with weather or MMM-OpenWeatherForecast as dependency.
Option to hide other modules in case of rain in favor to get more space.

Thanks @Jalibu for a fantastic module!

Last year I modified the v1 code to change the color of the radar images to RainViewer color 4. My wife associates blue with snow, not rain, hence the preference for the Weather Channel scheme.

I accomplished this by modifying 2 instances of the URL in utils.js, consistent with the API documentation. Where I found “/256/{z}/{x}/{y}/2/1_1.png” in the code, I simply changed it to “/256/{z}/{x}/{y}/4/1_1.png”, with the 4 being the preferred radar color.

I’m unable to do the same in version 2.x. I found the URL in Client.ts, but modifying it had no effect on the output.

I’m happy to file an enhancement request if that’s the best route. I’m skilled enough to do find and replace in code, but I’m not a JS dev!

Thanks!

Jalibu

Hi @gabrielm9 ,
contribution is always welcome :-)

You have to compile the Typescript sources using npm run build.

Let me know, if you have problems. I‘m waiting for your PR

Jalibu

Hi @gabrielm9,

the latest version 2.5.x supports different color schemes now.

swvalenti

Outstanding work fellas

gabrielm9

Hi @jalibu,

Thanks very much! I was about to spend time figuring it out how to variabalize the code but I’ve learned from what you did. I would have taken me a week to figure it out :slightly_smiling_face:. The wife thanks you as well.

osmMapUrl: "https://cartodb-basemaps-{s}.global.ssl.fastly.net/dark_all/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"

I’m using the dark map referenced above on a black background but every time the module changes zoom level it fills with a white background until the new map tiles populate. It’s worst when zooming out,
Does anyone know if it there is a parameter I can change so the blank tiles between zoom levels stay black?

This is a minor annoyance with an otherwise great module.
Thank you!
