Mouse Position Plugin: MouseXY

Post by Fawxy »

Hey! I'm releasing the plugin I used to create my firewatch parallax skin: http://imgur.com/a/ftpqD

It's super simple to use. example included but:

Code: Select all

[MeasureMouseX]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=MouseXY
Dimension=X
MaxValue=#SCREENAREAWIDTH#

[MeasureMouseY]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=MouseXY
Dimension=Y
MaxValue=#SCREENAREAHEIGHT#
Is all you need to get going!
Thanks to NighthawkSLO for his help!
MouseXY Plugin_1.0.0.rmskin
If you get Error 126 try installing the latest .NET 4 or Visual C++ (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145)

Thanks Fawxy...

P.S. Others can rename that .rmskin to .zip and extract it to get the 32bit and 64bit versions of the plugin to use in your skins.

Or download this:
MouseXYPlugin.zip

This can happen if you don't have the latest visual c++ or .NET 4 installed. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

Thanks Fawxy! :great:

May as well share one of my old skins adapted to use your MouseXY plugin instead of an external executable...

BTW, your firewatch parallax skin is impressive! :thumbup:

A couple of applications for your super awesome plugin. 8-)

;////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Will move skin to the monitor your mouse cursor is on:
(Adjust X & Y)

Code: Select all

[mMouseX]
 Measure=Plugin
 Plugin=MouseXY
 Dimension=X
 IfBelowValue=1
 IfBelowAction=[!Move -690 175]
 IfAboveValue=1
 IfAboveAction=[!Move 10 10]
;////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

And a skin to adjust the volume with mouse movement:

([mWorkTime] = 1 ? #Work# : ([mEnergyLoss:%] >= 70% ? #Chillmode# : </>))
