Ram meter issues

[DC_PLAYER]

Hi everyone, i was here once before and i asked for help on how to convert a working cpu tachmeter into a gpu tachmeter, sadly due to the complexity of the gpu activity the meter was always loading 1 image as if the activity was always 0%, i essentially lost hope after some tries since the skin was a bit to complex and the issue could be anywhere.

For those wondering what a tachmeter is:

The concept is simple, you calculate a value of cpu, you then calculate what image needs to be loaded and then you display the correct image as a skin

For the CPU it's working fine, but today i wanted a RAM tachmeter, it's very similar to a bar but i won't want to load a bar, i wan't to load around 7 images as if each image is like a small light, so the concept for the cpu tachmeter is this:

My question is, How do i make it read the ram? because when i replace "CPU" with "PhysicalMemory", the skin loads the 1st image, aka the 0.png

Measure=PhysicalMemory is not a percentage, it is a number of bytes.

https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/memory/

To turn the amount of memory "used" into a percentage in order to drive an image name, as you want, you would need:

Code: Select all

[MeasurePhysMemUsed]
Measure=PhysicalMemory

[MeasurePhysMemUsed%]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Round(([MeasurePhysMemUsed:] / [MeasurePhysMemUsed:MaxValue]) * 100)
DynamicVariables=1

Then use the value of MeasurePhysMemUsed% in your Calc measure to evaluate the percentage as an integer from 0 - 100. Feel free to shorten the name, I just wanted to be clear what was what...

That i didn't know.
But the issue remains, it always loads the 1st image, i was at 37% used memory (just 37 btw) and i was still using the image as if the usage was 0%

EDIT:
Nvm, it works. Tyvm

Dunno. Works for me...

Yeah, got it to work now
Ty man, now i can make my own Ram Bar

Great. Glad to help.
