To load BBSnow you simply need to add the relative path of the plugin (from your Blackbox directory) to the Blackbox configuration file plugins.rc (located in the Blackbox directory). For example, if you installed Blackbox into c:\Blackbox, and BBSnow.dll is located in c:\Blackbox\plugins\BBSnow, you should add the line...

plugins\BBSnow\BBSnow.dll

...to plugins.rc. Simple, eh? :)

How to use BBSnow...

First you will need to set up the BBSnow.rc file.

Commands:

BBSnow.rc settings

I have included a default configuration file (BBSnow.rc) in the .zip.
bbsnow.x: 100  X position
bbsnow.y: 100  Y position
bbsnow.width: 200  Snowy zone width
bbsnow.height: 200  Snowy zone height

Please note that BBSnow automatically saves the current running configuration when you quit or restart Blackbox, overwriting the previous contents of the file. So if you have made changes to your BBSnow.rc you want to keep, make sure to do a "Read Settings" before exiting Blackbox.
