Only show tempscreen when gaming?

[Copkiller]

Hi

Is it possible to only show my cpu, gpu, mb temps when I play games?
I have total 12 screens programmed at the moment but I only want 1 to show when I play.

Thx for the Speedfan and ATITool plugins! I love them!

And thx 2 U Lansley for fixing my login!

Try experimenting with themes. Put 1 screen in its own theme.

You will have to manually change which theme to use (by pressing a button), unless you write a plugin that reports back when you're playing a game.

I think the buttons are listed in the docs section of the main site - if not, I will try to find out what key it is.

Привет Всем!

Может можно сделать так, чтобы была отдельная кнопка типа "Выбрать приложение" , в котором можно было выбирать приложения на HDD. Например, действие -> дальше выбираем приложение, по статусу которого определять это действие (if (taskmgr.exe->active) {Screen2->Show();} else {Screen1->Show();})

Regards By all!

It can possible it made so that it would be the separate button of the
type "would select the application", in which possible bylo selected
applications on HDD. for example, delayem action - > is further
vibirayem prlozheniye, on status of which was determined this action (if (taskmgr.exe->active) {Screen2->Show();} else {Screen1->Show();})

i have solved this problem with the Action-Tab.
My graphic-card has a temp about 40?C in idle-mode.
If i play a game the temp rise above 50?C.

So, i have made a this in the action-tab:

This example is with the riva plug-in.

$dll(riva,1,2,g:\gpu.hml) >= 50 then GotoScreen(18)
$dll(riva,1,2,g:\gpu.hml) >= 50 then GotoTheme(2)
$dll(riva,1,2,g:\gpu.hml) < 50 then GotoScreen(1)
$dll(riva,1,2,g:\gpu.hml) < 50 then GotoTheme(1)

This will also work with speedfan plug-in.

If you look to your graphic-temp in idle-mode and when you playing,
you can do it perhaps like me.

Has anyone gotten this technique to work using the ATItool plugin? I havent had any success..

[Daddy-Koehl]

Yes.
I have change my graphic-card. Now i have an ATI-Card.
and this I have written to the action-tab:

$dll(atitool,1,3,0) > 50 then GotoTheme(2)
$dll(atitool,1,3,0) < 50 then GotoTheme(1)
$dll(atitool,1,3,0) > 50 then GotoScreen(2)
$dll(atitool,1,3,0) < 50 then GotoScreen(1)

And it works fine.
I hope you are sucessfull.

Thank you, I got it working now. It wasnt working before because I had inadvertently disabled the screen! Doh!

I know this is an old post, but I just thought I would share how I do it when im playing counterstrike.

if $dll(AppState,1,hl,) = 1 then GotoScreen(7)
if $dll(AppState,1,hl,) = 0 then NextScreen

screen 7 is disabled but this would probably work with screens that where in your lineup.

i use these two actions:

if $dll(AppState,1,Demigod_SupremeCommander_ForgedAlliance_Sins of a Solar Empire,) >= 1 then GotoScreen (16)
if $dll(AppState,1,Demigod_SupremeCommander_ForgedAlliance_Sins of a Solar Empire,) = 0 then Next screen

Just list all games there and i can configure that screen to show exactly what i want (winamp title on row 1 unless it is inactive then show CPU %, and temps on row 2)

If there is some game that needs a special screen then i just use another action for it, while adding the game to the =0 action. This way i can keep a minimum of actions. If you want to be able to run more than one of these programs/games simultaneously then you need more actions, but that shouldn't be an issue unless you have a very powerful computer and dual screens.
