ConfigRegion - by uziq

This plugin divides a config up into regions (only with the client). Doing this allows you to show/hide certain parts at a time. There's also a special feature which will stack all the regions on top of each other.

Put the plugin in the plugins folder, and the example configs in the config folder.
It is highly recommend that you test out the examples to see how the plugin works.


REMEMBER: Meters are used to define the coordinates (x/y/w/h) of a region. This plugin does *NOT* show/hide meters. It does *NOT* work like layers in Photoshop.

"Regions" are nothing more than an area of the config, which is defined by a meter (metername).


SETTING A STARTING REGION:
1. Add a new plugin meter.
2. On the Source tab, select ConfigRegion.dll from the plugin list, and select the SetStartingRegion function.
3. Click Configure to specify the region that you want to be visible when the config is loaded.

CYCLING REGIONS:
1. Add a new plugin meter.
2. On the Source tab, select ConfigRegion.dll from the plugin list, and select the SetStartingRegion function.
3. Click Configure to specify the regions that you want to cycle. Separate them with the pipe |.  And enter the Sleep between cycles.

TOGGLING/STACKING REGIONS:
1. Add a new text meter.
2. On the Input tab, check Allow Input Controls, and pick which mouse action you want. Now, set the Action Type to Plugin, and select ConfigRegion.dll from the list of plugins.
3. Click Configure to specify the settings. Enter the region you want to use, and select Stack/Show/Hide/Toggle.
- Stack will align all the regions to the top left corner of the config.
- Show will show a region.
- Hide will hide a region.
- Toggle will alternate between show/hide as you click on the meter.
Show/Hide/Toggle can have animation. So, you can slowly display/hide a region in a certain direction. Adjust the Steps/Sleep until you get the effect you want. Auto Reverse is useful for making the region go in the opposite direction, the next time you click on the meter.




NOTE: The config is always there, in its entirety, exactly as you see it in the editor. ConfigRegion simply lets you display only the areas you want, while masking out the rest.
- Stacking regions is a special thing that involves making one region visible, and then repositioning the config so it appears that the config is always in the same place.
- Auto-cycling regions will prevent the screensaver from activating.
