WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Tracks

Hello, I have recently been attempting to install the Wikipedia Track map generator and am able to open the Cygwin repository, however I am having trouble with accessing the file generated with the project. I know that it is most likely already downloaded on my computer, however I do not know what folder it is stored in. I am consulting you because I know that you are a long-time user. Could you help me with this issue and teach me some other things about the project like how to get it to store track maps in specific folders? Thank you! 2003 LN6 (talk) 03:58, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't generate on Windows so I can't really answer.  🐱💬 16:57, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

User:OhHaiMark/1980 Pacific typhoon season

Hey! Since you usually update the track maps for storms, could you help me create some maps for this project? OhHaiMark (talk) 20:58, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

What do you want to create? The maps are already available for that season.  🐱💬 16:31, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Well, the maps that are currently in the 1980 Pacific typhoon season don't use the new colors for track maps. Since my computer is nowhere near powerful enough to install the track map generator and I'm not too eager to repetitively create a map out of plotted points, I was wondering if you could help me? OhHaiMark (talk) 03:12, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

It actually does not require a powerful computer to generate.  🐱💬 13:13, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Depression LAND02

Hello, I have noticed that the source for the track map of Depression LAND02 in the 2024 North Indian Ocean cyclone season is a pdf that does not include the track data on the IMD website. Where do you get your track data from? When I open the pdf, I just get Remal's track data without any other storms. I would like to know this to help update the track maps. Thank you! 2003 LN6 06:47, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Is there explicitly compiled track data on each of them or do we have to look at every single 6-hour bulletin? 2003 LN6 07:04, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

I just grabbed the positions page-by-page.  🐱💬 07:29, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Also, how did you make the Hone track? When I tried saving the track data as a .dat file, inputting it into Wikipedia's TrackGen in Cygwin with the correct commands, it made an incomplete track that cut off the precursor low part and put it off the screen. The dots were there, but they were off the track map. 2003 LN6 17:29, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

I didn't use TrackGen and Cygwin so I can't figure out what the problem is.  🐱💬 17:31, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

How did you make the trackmap and what software did you use to make it? 2003 LN6 19:50, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

I use the genuine software on macOS.  🐱💬 14:55, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Typhoon Noru (2017)

Hi Meow, I see the Typhoon Noru page, and the Met history is absurdly long that it probably deserves its own page. What do you think? 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 06:12, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Unnecessary as the main article would become a stub.  🐱💬 06:14, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, maybe, but this might land to a start or even C. But I understand. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 06:26, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

維基繪圖專家

雖然喵君已淡出中維，但鑑於閣下對颱風路徑（福瑞）圖的深厚貢獻，若提名維基繪圖專家的話，未知會否首肯呢？另外如果答允的話，能否簡短一下自己的貢獻自己的工作和頁獻？不然以本小姐目前的一知半解，恐怕難以寫得一手好的薦詞w--Mısaka✨M1koto 20:09, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

其實我還有拿USB-C的圖改成Lightning接口，其他就是拿SVG小改了。至於颱風路徑，那是依靠既有的工具直接生成，我不太算真的有繪圖，因此不太敢說是專家。  🐱💬 12:31, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

如果喵君的意思是謝絕的話，那實在打擾了。不過以三年來逾千張路徑圖來看，喵君的貢獻是有目共睹的。最後祝編安w --Mısaka✨M1koto 15:14, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

只是覺得自己不夠格會被閒話  🐱💬 15:56, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

2024 Atlantic & Pacific hurricane seasons summary track map

Hello! By any means, are you able to update the File:2024 Atlantic hurricane season summary.png to include Tropical Storm Sara and File:2024 Pacific hurricane season summary.png to include Tropical Depression 14E? The seasons has already been over for two months and they are still missing tracks. I have noticed that you are able to create summary track maps, and that the original creator and updater of the track map summary @MarioProtIV has apparently not included it in the final track map. As I do not yet know how to create track maps quickly (within 1 hour), I would like to request for your help. Thank you! 2003 LN6 04:25, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Pinged so I’ll chime in: Seems like when I did a TCR update I forgot to add Sara even though I had it in the upload before. I’ve been busy with college so I haven’t had as much time to update the maps. I can get to them now if that’s fine. MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 04:41, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Should also note that EPac may take a bit longer since some of the updated tracks didn’t have the revised code easily accessible on the upload page so I’ll update what I can and then the rest can be done at another time (or Meow can take care of that I guess?) MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 05:31, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

@MarioProtIV: Thank you for updating the track maps! 2003 LN6 17:12, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Hurricane tracks

Hi, I'm trying to get the track generator at WP:WPTC/Tracks working but it doesn't seem to have storm data after 2010 — I did get the tracks for multiple storms before then however. I want to generate a few storm tracks so how do I go about this? Can I plot individual points myself? I'm on MacOS but I believe it's the same command line everywhere. HurricaneZeta (talk) 01:28, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

I could presume that it hasn't included any newer track file for very long time. What storms are you going to generate for? Path images without a proper source may be either replaced or deleted. I also generate on macOS and it's pretty easy to install essential tools via Homebrew.  🐱💬 09:04, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

Hey, I'm trying for Lorena and Thirteen-E (EPac) right now. Yesterday I was able to run ./track --input ../bep132025.dat --bg Blue_Marble_2002_bg21600.png --tdcolor 6ec1ea --tscolor 4dffff --c1color ffffd9 --c2color ffd98c --c3color ff9e59 --c4color ff738a --c5color 8d75e6 --format atcf (after downloading the best track file (bep132025.dat) but it returned a zsh segmentation error.

I used MacPorts to download the essentials (excluding those included with Xcode) + automake and autoconf. I know that command worked because it generated the template but returned an error while trying to produce the image. (The file was bep132025.dat) HurricaneZeta (talk) 13:07, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

You actually just need Xcode Command Line Tools.  🐱💬 02:01, 15 September 2025 (UTC)
