nWeather is a Blackbox for Windows plugin that provides a customizable weather label. As it is a Blackbox plugin it uses the current Blackbox style settings as well as updated automatically on style change.

Please note that nWeather requires Blackbox for Windows 0.0.60 or later, and Internet Explorer 3 or later.

To load multiamp you simply need to add the relative path of the plugin (from your Blackbox directory) to the Blackbox configuration file plugins.rc (located in the Blackbox directory). For example, if you installed Blackbox into c:\Blackbox, and nweather.dll is located in c:\Blackbox\plugins, you should add the line...

plugins\nWeather.dll

...to plugins.rc. Simple, eh? :)

nweather.rc settings

I have included a default configuration file (nWeather.rc) in the .zip, but if a configuration file for some reason can not be found at startup nWeather will automatically create one for you in the Blackbox directory. In order to actually use this plugin you will have to find a weather observation station in your area. To do this you will need to go to the National Weather Service Station Information site. Select your state if you're from the U.S. or your country. Once you've done this you will be given a list of stations located near you. Select the 4-character ICAO location indicator (starts with K usually) for the station of your choice and set it as your stationid in your nweather.rc file.

nWeather.stationid: KNYC    Weather station ID
nWeather.format: Temp: %TP Humidity: %HM Winds: %WD at %WS mph Conditions: %GC    Weather label format
nWeather.x: 0    X position
nWeather.y: 0    Y position
nWeather.width: 240    Width
nWeather.height: 16    Height
nWeather.metric: False    Metric or Standard?
nWeather.alwaysontop: False    AlwaysOnTop?
nWeather.interval: 60    Weather update interval in minutes.

Please note that nWeather automatically saves the current running configuration when you quit or restart Blackbox, overwriting the previous contents of the file. The solution is to restart Blackbox from the menu while holding down the Shift key, which will unload all plugins and display a message box telling you that the restart has been paused. Now make your edits to the file and save, then click OK to continue the restart. nWeather will now read your manually edited settings.
