New Plugin: XInput

[dgrace]

Looks promising.
now the value stays at 1, and not triggered by the left stick. YAY
I forget what 4 values it spits out though, and what they mean. :P
(Does the value of 1 mean the battery is at 25% ?)

25%
50%
75%
100%

BTW, your new example skin and all the new features is freakin' awesome!

Actually the skin is the same as my old one; I never really updated it after the first pass, but thanks! I think you must have had an old DLL. The value of 1 means 100%. It'll return 0, 0.33, 0.75 or 1.0 depending on what the system reports. (empty, low, medium, full) I figured just in case they change the API at some point to return an actual percentage it wouldn't require changing the skins if I did it this way.

Many thanks.
I think i got it now.
Used substitute to generate percentage for a bar meter.
Substitute=,"0.33":"25","0.75":"50","1.0":"100"
But the value is a 1 not 1.0.
Anyways, ill test it further.
Tnx again.

I'm not really up on Rainmeter syntax, but wouldn't "(value) * 100" be easier?

Found Xinput on Github

Is this it? https://github.com/speps/XInputDotNet

So I downloaded u/realFinch's GameHub 2 GameHub 2 and wanted to use a gamepad with it. He had already built in gamepad funtionallity but I wanted to change it to be able to use the joysticks. I opened the input code and tried changing it to have left joystick functionality based off of the XInput Plugin's Skin. I was able to get down and left to work on the left joystick but it up and right do not. I also noticed the joystick has to be all the way in the specified direction for the joystick to recognize what direction you want to go instead of only needing to push it down a bit to go down etc. I also noticed his code for using the bumpers to go to another layout within the skin is not working. Need some help on how to get those to things to work.

Hey, is there any way to make this plugin work with skins that don't have a low Update value?

Currently I'm only able to make it work with skins that have Update set to numbers like 100 and below. I really want to make this work with a skin of mine that has a high Update value (8640000). Is there any way?

[rxtd]

Look into ActionTimer plugin. You could probably use it to force rainmeter update specific meters and measures, that need high update rate.

[Krainz]

Fiddled around with ActionTimer + XInput on a 10000 Update skin, no luck

Would

Code: Select all

Update=1000
DefaultUpdateDivider=8640

do the trick?
Also why do you have a skin that takes 100 days to update? If you want you can make the skin only update when it's loaded using Update=-1
