Description
"Do I Need a Jacket?"Because there aren't enough Rainmeter weather skinsUpdate in progress of the old "Do I Need a Jacket ?" skin.
(Last updated 10 April 2016)
Improvements thus far:
Uses Lua instead of trying to cram logic into the skin file Many more adverbs (though it's probably less witty overall) Instead of trying to incorporate wind speed into the jacket equation, just checks the Wind Chill temperature value Simplified settings: location, English/Metric, jacket temperature threshold, coat temperature threshold Can change the size by scrolling the mouse over the skin Text alignment (left, right, centered) selectable from the skin context menuThe latest version uses Weather.com's wxdata feed - you will need a Weather.com location code.
The code can be found in the URL on the forecast page for your location on Weather.com, using jsmorley 's WXDataWeather skin , or via http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/search/search?where=YOUR_LOCATION.
A fix for the old version, which used a Yahoo! weather feed, can be found here: forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.…

Where do I go to edit the lua file?

lua file is in the same folder with ini file. Just go to the folder where you installed rainmeter and find the folder for this skin

I found a way to get the location code automatically, ask me if you want to know

a measure like this would work. just copy and paste.
it needs a finishaction so it changes the code and updates the skin afterwards, but you should be able to add that yourself.
[wxdataWeatherCode]
Measure=WebParser
URL=www.iplocationtools.com/
RegExp=(?siU)Station.*\((.*)\)
StringIndex=1
DynamicVariables=1

i checked the clickthrough option so i dont accidently scroll and adjust its size, but then i cant hover over it and see the temperature. anything i can do to keep it unchecked but not accidently scroll on it>?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I found a way to diable the scrolling while still being able to hover over. All you need to do is open the dinaj.ini file and search for "scrolling" without the " and delete the bottom 2 lines that show up which describe the scroll function.

Hi,
I recently downloaded your skin and must say it is amazing.
However, I have set my location code to Fremont, OH and it is still saying Chicago, IL.
This is my code:
; Weather.com location code
; Go to weather.com and search for your location.
; The location code is in the URL on the page for your location.
; e.g. for Chicago:
; weather.com/weather/today/l/US…
; ^^^^^^^^
location=USOH0329
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I really love this skin. I live in the desert, so I do wish there was some more variations for when it was hot (such as a 100 F for example). I'd love to be edit or change more of the terms or sayings as well. Otherwise, super solid and thanks a ton!

Mine always says 'You Need A Coat It's Frosty Outside' and i'm not an expert but I think tend not to wear coats if it's 30 degrease C.

You can edit the trigger point in the ".ini". Go to wherever you have your rainmeter installation (if default then it will be "C:\Users\"Your User Name"\Documents\Rainmeter]Skins\DINAJ2" Open the settings file "dinaj.ini" and scroll down the the [Variable] block, here you can find the lines "jacket_temp=65" and "coat_temp=40".
Edit the numeric values for the value that you want, save, and refresh the skin.

Mine is stuck on "Loading"
When I mouse over the icon it just shows: ","
I've tried many of the suggestions here, but it doesn't work? :3

It always says I need a coat even when it's warm out, how do I fix this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I found a fix, apparently it has something to do with not recognizing temperature in the metric system.
Open dinaj.lua with your favorite text editor and change the lines 70, 71.
The values "15" and "10" at the end will be the default values for you in the imperial system.
Change them to the metric system's values and all should be fine, I personally set them to 15 and 10.
-----
Settings.Jacket_Limit = SELF:GetNumberOption(props.JacketThreshold, 15)
Settings.Coat_Limit = SELF:GetNumberOption(props.CoatThreshold, 10)
-----
Hope this works helps.

Hey, sorry for the late reply I just noticed this problem again after forgetting about it shortly after asking and came back to check if there was a solution. Sure enough, there was your fix and it worked flawlessly. Thank you!

Even after fixing the URL for weather.com, DINAJ2 still says Loading.... I've restarted my computer, etc.

I tried berryaaku 's answer:
Editing [mTemperature] and [mFeelsLike] RegExp values respectively to
RegExp=
RegExp=
This seemed to fix the loading issues for me.

Hey, any way of it saying jacket instead of coat ? as in like always, cuz I'll never use coats
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
IIRC it uses "coat" instead of "jacket" because it's extra cold out. Lower temps will show "coat", while milder temps will show "jacket".
EDIT: You can change this to just show "jacket" by going into the .ini file and changing the value:
coat_temp=40
to
coat_temp=-40
This way, it will only use "coat" when it's -40 out. (Depending on where you live, you may need it lower. I doubt it though.)

I have problem with temperature display when hovering over the text. It's shows like this : Light Snow, C (Feels like -16 C). So the real temperature is missing. Can someone please help?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I just had the same issue, for me, it was because the [mTemperature] and [mFeelsLike] in the .ini file needed its last line changed to (respectively):
RegExp=
RegExp=
S0hva posted the change for that below for mFeelsLike but seems like mTemperature had the same issue 
I also went ahead and changed the Lua file's min to -40F since it can get to be that cold here:
RANGE_MIN = -40,
RANGE_MAX = 120,
Though from browsing other comments, if it goes over the range max/min it appears to just default to the lowest/highest phrase. Didn't wanna risk it though! Hopefully changing the mTemp and mFeelsLike helps!
