Types of plugins? by Darkness2k on 07-03-2003 at 06:11 PM
What types of things are possible here?
Creating a game that can be played either single player or multi player while your having a conversation? (like Snake, pacman or hangman etc)

Well maybe, but as I read the documentation all that is possible until now is doing stuff as you receive a text...
So maybe you can code your own plug-in to display a window and sending the user by message what action you are doing in the game... if playing tic-tac-toe for instanc:
you would send a message like: tttoe:mark 1
and you would receive from the user: tttoe:mark 3
that is what I understood, but it would be really slow to play something like snake, giving all coordenates and stuff...

Yeah, you could do games like that i suppose but the idea of Plus plugins is that it uses the functions that Plus already has in a customised way to save programming. For example Plus processes aliases, so you can add aliases easily with the Plus plugins. I'd quite like a /slap alias like in mirc 
you irc'ers know what i mean
RE: Types of plugins? by ^ASM^ on 07-03-2003 at 06:42 PM
of course, that too, you can have any aliases kind of irc style... they would have to start with: /x like for instance: /xslap... and I dont think you can modify the aliases that msg plus has much like on mirc...
there are simple things you can do, and I'm sure that later on we should expect more things from it!!

A slap command would be cool. Anything like that is possible if you know how to make such a feature. Unfortunately, I don't.
RE: Types of plugins? by sock on 07-03-2003 at 07:15 PM
You can already make a /slap command by using Quick Texts......
Just set the following as one of your Quick Texts:
/me slaps (!P) around a bit with a large trout.
Also, make a /slap command alias for this Quick Text.
Then, simply type /slap whatever and voila.

oh yeah
* fluffy_lobster slaps himself around a bit with a large trout.
RE: Types of plugins? by Darkness2k on 07-03-2003 at 11:52 PM
Ah ok, thanks for the info!

The one, the only, the XSLAP 1.0!

héhé, nice plug in...
it would be smarter if it could display random 'slaps'
RE: Types of plugins? by Predatory Kangaroo on 07-04-2003 at 01:28 PM
Hehehe, i'll upload the source, tweak it as you want

my version:
(000,128,255)*YOURNAME slaps (!P) around a bit with a large trout!
You can also use '/me' and (!N) but the problem is that most ppl have long msn names... so *YOURNAME and the (!P) (which replaces (!P) with the text after the code and a space)
so, again, quick text:
(000,128,255)*YOURNAME slaps (!P) around a bit with a large trout!
optional alias: /slap
quick text 2:
(000,128,255)*YOURNAME slaps (!P) around a bit with a rather large trout!
optional alias: /slap2
quick text 3:
(000,128,255)*YOURNAME slaps (!P) around a bit with the biggest trout ever!
optional alias: /slap3
how to use:
in a convo, type: /slap something
or: /slap2 something
or: /slap3 something
RE: Types of plugins? by Vilkku on 07-05-2003 at 07:22 PM
Eh, I had to change the (!P) to (!N)...
RE: Types of plugins? by user2319 on 07-05-2003 at 07:35 PM
you didn't had to!
