This is not an "end user" plugin by any means. It however is a tool to help when creating skins & debugging Road Runner problems. It is a simple way to see variable & label contents, as well as to set them to test skins in Road Runner.

Instructions:

Send Command: (The top 3 lines) are for sending commands directly to Road Runner. 3 lines have been provided to keep most used commands you are testing available with just one click.

Restart RR: Does a complete shut down of Road Runner and re-starts it.

Reload Skin: will reload the current skin to check any changes that you made.

Reload Skin +: Same as Reload above, however this will return you to the skin that Road Runner is currently on, and not back to the main menu.

Variable / Label Radio Buttons: Select either Label or Variable, Type the variable name, without the quotes or dollar signs, and press Get Contents, and the contents will be displayed .
NOTE: Check marking "Auto Update" will automatically update the information whenever the label / variable changes in RR. The blue indicator you see in the screen capture below blink when the variable / label is set to auto update.

Minimize RR: Minimizes RR to the task bar.

Clear: Clears the current log file displayed on the screen (Added by BlueZX3)

Pause Debugger: This will start and stop the debug text from scrolling automatically when viewing it. (Added by BlueZX3)

Save: Save the debugging text to a file (Added by BlueZX3)

Tabs at the top: To switch between the main window and the live debug. On the live debug window, you can also click "Separate Window" to show the live debug in s separate window.
