Here is a skin that will show ping latency to any address; change the 'Addr' variable to the address of your game server.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
BackgroundMode=2
SolidColor=0,0,0,192

[Variables]
Addr=8.8.8.8

[MeasurePing]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=PingPlugin
DestAddress=#Addr#
IfCondition=MeasurePing=30000
IfTrueAction=[!SetVariable ErrorString "Not"][!Update][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!SetVariable ErrorString ""][!Update][!Redraw]
;Default timeout is 30000 ms

[MeterPing]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasurePing
X=5
Y=5
W=200
H=20
FontColor=255,255,255,255
Text=My Latency: %1ms

[MeterPingString]
Meter=String
X=r
Y=R
W=200
H=20
FontColor=255,255,255,255
Text=#ErrorString# Connected
DynamicVariables=1

EDIT: Instructions:
Copy this code into a new text editor document.
Save it in a new 'Ping' folder you create in your '{User}Documents\Rainmeter\Skins' folder, as Ping.ini
Refresh All or restart Rainmeter to see the new skin in the skin listings.
At that point, you can 'Load' or 'Edit' the skin from the !Manage dialog.
