Message Passing for Rainmeter

A websocket plugin for Rainmeter to allow communication with other programs such as Wallpaper Engine. Example of it in action: https://streamable.com/17mmz

Current State:

Full support for multiple websocket addresses and multiple connections on each address
On websocket Open, Close, and Message command options (Can even use dynamic variables)
Get connected client count from measure's decimal value

Future Additions

Support for changing Wallpaper Engine layout (Will either require waiting till Wallpaper Engine supports external plugins or admin rights)
Support for Video and Scene layout communication (Will likely require waiting till Wallpaper Engine supports external plugins)
Support for changing the port
Readd support for every message also being sent on the / channel

Measure Options

Plugin=MessagePassing - The name of the plugin is MessagePassing, any MessagePAssing measure will have the value of the number of clients connected to it
Name - Name of the service to run, adds / to the beginning if you do not.
I recommend using unique names if you only want your info. So a name of tjMusicInfo would get a url of ws://127.0.0.1:58932/tjMusicInfo in the program you are communicating to
Port - Port to use, is ignored right now and is always 58932
OnOpen - A rainmeter bang to execute when connection is first made
Note: Will not fire if connection already existed and was opened when your websocket is created
OnClose - A rainmeter bang to execute on connection being closed Note: Only fires with the connection is closed, does not fire if it never opens
OnMessage - A rainmeter bang to execute whenever a message is received with your service name
Note: Add $Message$ to the command to have it be replaced with the message contents
