Which scripts are current?

Software WxSIM Display Utilities
1

As I’ve not used WxSim regularly for a few years I’ve not paid much attention to this board. My weather station is now installed again so I have the data I need to run WxSim.

I’ve been looking here to see what scripts are available. I see EWN-style and 3-in-1, as well as possibly a few others, but it’s not too clear which ones are current and which are ‘legacy’ and won’t run easily on up to date web servers. It’s also not obvious where to download the latest version of the different scripts from.

So I was thinking if anyone can provide info about any of the scripts I’ll create some sticky topics with the info in them, and perhaps document installing some for myself to help others who want similar info. If the script authors are forum users and would like to create their own sticky topic then that’s great and I can help with setting that up.

Most active and well maintained, using plaintext.txt: Saratoga-Weather.org - Scripts - WXSIM display utility
This set of scripts is also used /adapted by other authors.

My version-4 forecast scripts https://www.weerstation-herent.be/wsfct4/ contain 2 different WXSIM scripts, which use

[ul][li]lastret.txt or latest.csv for the details and graphs[/li]
[li]and an adapted version of Ken’s plaintext parser for the plaintext.txt data.[/li][/ul]

I use the get UV script from Ken True as well as the plaintext stuff to include data in my website, but I have modified his web page stuff to include extra info but those two work fine.
