Thread: RRGAS - Gas prices for the US - Status: Updated 12/01/10

I received this via PM, I hope Morpheus doesn't mind me bringing it out into public, but I feel this sort of question should be asked here.

First step is to read the readme.txt provided in the download.
You can also read the F.A.Q. which is second post of this thread.

however if you question isn't answered there, I will try to add some info.


The easiest way to get this to work is to install a skin which already has support for it. Reading through this thread you will see various skinners have beta tested this and (should) have included it in their skins.

Second easiest is to copy the sample skin files in post #3 of this thread into the folder of the skin you are using, (recommend BMV2 to test), add a button with the command rrgas (if there already is a gas button it may have the command gaspricefinder, change this to rrgas). And add the lines in the add to exectbl.ini to the skins exectbl.ini file.

Third is to change a skin that has support for the old native gas function. This is fairly easy to get the basics working but then needs a little tweaking to get the extra functionality that the new plugin provides. To change an existing skin, look for the gas button, change 'gaspricefinder' to 'rrgas'. locate gaspricefinder.skin, and then change all refferences to 'gas' to 'rrgas' or stick rr infront of gas.

Hope this helps.

If you still have issues, post in the thread with the skin you are using, what you have done so far, and any skin files you may have edited.



OH a don't forget to run the register.bat file in the plugin (rrgas) folder.
