Yeah! first VB plugin out! this one displays your windows Uptime, to use it type (!XUP)

for some reason with VB plugins you need to register the DLL, you would need to put

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 2\Plugins\uptime.dll"

in Start | Run dialog

then restart MSN

And you need plus Build 46, get it here http://www.msgplus.net/cached/PlusBeta2045.exe

It doesn't works for me, WindowxXP HE, MSN Messenger 6.0.0.0268, and Plus! 2.20.45

put both in C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 2\Plugins

run install.reg

start > run > regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 2\Plugins\uptime.dll"

exit msn

start msn again

type (!XUP) for your uptime

it still dont work!

Are you sure you did everything, it's worked for 3 people including me so far

yes, firts I closed Messenger, then i move Uptime.dll to the plugins folder, then I double click install.reg, I open messenger but it didnt work, so i closed again and in run i write "regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 2\Plugins\uptime.dll" " I open again Mesenger but still doesn't work

there is no 2.20.46 available yet, Patchou said the Proxy needed to be updtate first!

I linked you to it in my first and second post! thats the one that works!

sorry i didnt say that, thank you very much!

very nice

works for me nice touch Segosa don't know where i can use it for but it's funny

JAD: did you register the DLL? you also need to restart msn after doing it all

Windows Version: Windows XP, 5.01.2600
Messenger Client Version: 6.0.0268
Messenger Plus! Version: 2.20.0046

doesnt work for me

(restarted pc and registerd dll with the .reg)

It has to, this is from the readme i have in the zip:

Instructions:


1) Make sure you have plus! build 46

2) Move Uptime.dll to your Plugins directory, usually C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 2\Plugins

3) run install.reg (doesnt matter where you run that from)

4) register the DLL, to do this go to Start | Run dialog, and put in

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 2\Plugins\Uptime.dll"

make sure thats the correct path to the plugin, then hit enter, it should register correctly. Now restart MSN and you can type (!XUP) for the time that your computer has been on.




MAKE SURE You've done all that

NICE plugin!

I'll have to modifiy my plugin installer to support VB too.

I've done everything you said Segosa and I've got Plus! 2.20.46
Any idea anyone?

u have the vb runtime? i guess these plugins need it...

Hm, good idea but I think I have it, I'm gonna check it

Hm, appearantly I haven't , do you know where to get it?

Very nice segosa , but can you add some configuration dialog? Something like this: when the user types /xupconf a window appears and let him to select the format (or even the language) of the text. I mean: now, my (!XUP) is
0 days, 10 hours, 48 mins and 29 secs
and it whoud be nice if it could be configured to be shown as
0d 10:48:29
or
0 dias, 10 horas, 48 mins y 29 segs (in spanish, for example)

BTW, include an installer so it'll be easier to people install your plugin (and if you do that, the installer calls PostMessage and RegisterWindowMessage (i have some vb code to do that), then we haven't to restart msn )

don't know what is wrong but my comp has been up more than 10hours i get 0 days, 10 hours, 53 mins and 19 secs when it has been up at least 30hours, maby i have to restart. nice plugin by the way

segosa, u think u can email me the project? i need something to reference to to start my own plugin, i havent learnt modules yet lol

If you had problems with the plugin download the updated one i have attached in my first post.

AzNiNsEcT: I added you to MSN

are you going to make it opensource?

I dont know, Maybe

thx segosa

why not?

You dont really need it to be open source.. You can find the code off planetsourcecode.com to get the uptime and you can find how to make plugins in vb using Patchou's sample.

Just my $0.02

There was a small problem, it displayed 1 mins instead of 1 min, the rest of the things (days hours secs) were fine, just the mins messed up, i have fixed it and updated it in my first post, but i dont recomend redownloading it if you already have it because of the tiny change

Yup I've installed it and have no problems whatsoever with it, good work


Windows Version: Windows XP, 5.01.2600
Messenger Client Version: 6.0.0268
Messenger Plus! Version: 2.20.0046

Nask

Wow.  I only just noticed this.

Like all of your plugins Segosa, this is very good.

cool plugin, weird install,

i'm hoping you will make a menu entry for it rather than just having to remember that (!XUP) command.

Good work on the plugin
