Rainmeter chat plugin

  • I was working on a rainmeter skin for myself


    I made a skin for rainmeter that reads the chat for latest post and checks the number of players on the server (gametracker.com info so it's not absolutely accurate)

    Here is the skin file
    If you want to use this skin you have to edit the gmail meter (fill in username and password converted to html code and inside layout edit your steamID url to your url + "?xml=1")

  • I tried to understand and think it´s an overlay for streaming right?


    left side inormation about you and chat and on the right screen you can open the map.


    Looks really nice, how can you use it ingame? which software do you need?

  • well in short i use it on my second monitor, rainmeter opens the map when i start dayz so i dont have to open another website
    The chat rainmeter skin checks the germandazy chat so if there is anything happening we can go there, or when we have a fight I can see if anyone posted it on the chat.


    or in short. No more Alt-Tab out of game for me

  • Okay so i made a temporary fix by disabling one web-parser if the other is trying to get the website. unfortunately it breaks the webparser after a couple updates so i'm going to ask on the rainmeter forum what the best plan would be for this use case. i'll update the code (i also added comments)


    Also if you want to use the Dayz map you can just use it separately. I like it because it has the town names :) (i might make a program someday that fetches the map automatically, if i'm bored in class)

    Rainmeter.com its a desktop customization program. It has alot of premade skins that look pretty neat. or if you want to go dig in the code like me they have some pretty good documentation.
