Legacy Format warnings not working in WarnGen (V23 Beta) #707

Open Thunderbuddy01 opened 2 months ago

Thunderbuddy01 commented 2 months ago

I'm using the Version 23.4.1.03 Beta of AWIPS, running Windows 11.

I wanted to add the old/Non-IBW versions of the convective products installed with AWIPS into WarnGen, as I was able to do this with previous builds, but as shown in the picture below, despite following instructions (selecting hazards, location, etc.), the text product editor acts as if nothing was selected. Any guidance on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated as I'd like to use the old format of warnings.

I should also mention that the "Precautionary/Preparedness Actions" section with the old layout of warnings is left blank despite having a CTA selected.

Hello,

Non-IBW warnings are no longer supported in the most recent builds of AWIPS.

Man, that's a real shame.

Do you have any recommendations as to how the Non-IBW warnings can be kept without having to downgrade to an older version of the software? There's a lot of weather enthusiasts that use this software solely for time-specific mockup generation purposes, and I'd hate to see - at least what I would personally consider, I understand everyone has their own preferences & uses - such options like these go away.

Non-IBW templates haven't been used in 5 years operationally. Old/outdated formats and templates should not be used.
