how do u get weather on coolmon?
 
ok i got it to work.

read the readme.txt that comes with the script-making .vbs file.

copy this into your coolmon script thingy:

<NAME=FILEDATA FORMAT="D:\Program Files\coolinfo\weather1.txt,3">, <NAME=FILEDATA FORMAT="D:\Program Files\coolinfo\weather1.txt,4"> °F
humidity: <NAME=FILEDATA FORMAT="D:\Program Files\coolinfo\weather1.txt,9">

be sure to change D:\Program Files\coolinfo\weather1.txt to whatever path your weather.txt is located.
 
awesome, thanks.... how can i get this to update automatically? instead of manually running that vbs script to update it?
 
if u take a look at that readme.txt that comes with getweather.vbs, it'll tell u.

here's the blurb:


Here is an example to set up the script to run at 15 minute intervals
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Open the Task Scheduler and add the wscript.exe task:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe "C:\Program Files\DaisyManSoftware\weather.vbs"

Run As: your login; Enabled is checked

Scheduled Schedule: Daily; Start: 1AM; Every: 1 days; Multiple: unchecked

Advanced Repeat Task: checked, Every 15 minutes; Duration: 24 hours

Settings Stop the task if it runs for 1 hour; nothing else checked on Settings page.
 
cool, thanks again. now that ive added the disk info, the alignment goes off my monitor... ive been trying all kinds of stuff to get it back
 
it took awhile for me to figure that out. but you gotta point the vbs file to the right directory, and right URL for your zip code.
also create the weather.txt so the vbs file get write to it.. and in coolmon config, make sure your puttin in the < NAME=FILEDATA FORMAT="C:\Program Files\DaisyManSoftware\weather.txt" >


 
Crap...when scheduler tries to run the script it is saying it can't be found. I know have the path right.....I will try it again when I get home.

edit: Got it. Wrong path. Thanks.
 
i think that i saw someone have their HD space in GB instead of MB, anyone know how to do this?

put DIV=1000 inside to turn MB into GB. then add DECIMAL=* and put any number you want. It seems no matter what number i put it'll only show 2 decimal places, even if i put in a 0 or 1 or 3, etc. but if DECIMAL= isn't there it'll just show a whole number rounded down.
 
actually i think just putting DECIMAL automatically makes it accurate to two decimal places....it'll just disregard the =number part i guess
