Re: JUST STARTED and I'm already failing
Here is a skin that will show ping latency to any address; change the 'Addr' variable to the address of your game server.Mr Platinum wrote:i just downloaded Rain meter and i need help with ping plugin i have the code but as i'm an amateur i need help with how to add it into a skin or if there is a skin with it already in it. i really only want rain meter so i can have my ping constantly on my screen as i am a gamer. if anyone could tell me some simple instructions on how to just add a ping monitor? i need exactly what ping test provides basically, so if anyone is able to understand my gibberish and awful explanation and is able to help please reply

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.
