I am counting down to the summer break...but as it is now I have to change my nick every day/hour/minute etc my self...but what I want is a plug-in that can countdown and change my nick automatically every 5th minute...If I had the skills to develop this I would have, but I don't so it would have been great if anyone could have done this for me

Well, i myself; am not a programer, but maybe you could ask wtbw? or anyone else, i think this could be easily done by one of them.. but i think this might have been created, however; im not shur if it has. So if it hasnt, then good luck to whever may create this .. and id like to see it done too!

Hey that would be kewl! I change ma status to so I would love it to! Nice suggestion, maby someone can make something into it!

The delay should probably be longer than 5 mins though, I can imagine event logs getting preetty clogged with that.

Not to mention those who have toasters pop up on name change (like myself).

i'm also looking for this plugin, can somebody create it?
maybe only change once every hour would be enough?

I'm not on your contact list then cookie

I really need this kinda plugin, exactly what was asked. Has anyone created it or is?

May I revive this thread because someone on IRC asked again for this...

Also a request for such thing was also done before:
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=13657
and
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=22...d=210603#pid210603

EDIT: ermmm... yeah, the person on IRC was Master Xx , he was faster in reviving this

if u reali want to
ill include this in messenger milk

I need this too because i have a coutdown to halo2 that i change daily and a coutdown till my birfday i change daily (thats only 3 days so the plugin wont do any good) but for my future countdowns and Halo2 it would rock...and u can set the time intervals say max once per half hour so it dosnt piss everyone off.

ok im going to open this project... i dont have time to finish it, so if ur a visual basic developer then u can use this code

code:

---

Public Function Initialize(ByVal nVersion As Long, ByVal sUserEmail As String, ByVal oMessenger As Object) As Boolean
    Initialize = True
form1.visable = false
End Function

Public Function ParseCommand(ByVal sCommand As String, ByVal sCommandArg As String, ByVal oConversationWnd As Object, ByRef sResult As String) As Boolean
    'The first sample command displays a hello box and cancels the message

    ElseIf (StrComp(LCase(sCommand), "/xshowtimeroptions", vbTextCompare) = 0) Then
form1.visable = true
        sResult = ""
        ParseCommand = True
        Exit Function
    End If

---

code:

---

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

    Text1.Text = Text1.Text - 1
messengerapi.myfriendlyname = text1.text

End Sub

---

I can't code, can you please finish it please

it's really a good idea yeah...i wish i could make plugins...

I think its a good idea too, but.. for now there isnt a good way to change the nick without opening any debug windows or msn Property pages. TheBlasphemer has found a way to do it without opening any windows, he's is working on it now.

If that is done, I will try making this plugin

, but I think it is a bit "bloated" that you must install a big plugin like StuffPlug-NG in order to use this very small plugin....

Please post some Functions you would like to see, so I can begin making this shit.

This plugin would be awesome!

I asked for some Functions you would like to see in the plugin... I hear  nothing from you guys. just list everything, I will see what I can do

Fields in the config window:

* A field to enter the countdown date and time (can be set in the past aswell as in the futur)
* A field to enter the interval for changing the nick (minimum 10 minutes or so!!)
* A field where you make up your nick when the countdown is active. In this field you can use 2 placeholders: %nick and %countdown (see below).
* A field where you make up the countdown placeholder. In this field you can use the other placeholders (see below).
* Fields where you enter the words used for "day", "days", "year", "years", "month", "months", "hour", "hours", "minute", "minutes", "second", "seconds". (see below)


The placeholders used in the nick-field:

%nick = returns your current stored nick; The nick before the countdown started.
%countdown = special placeholder, returns what you have typed in the countdown placeholder field.


The placeholders used in the countdown placeholder-field:

Current date/time placeholders:
%cyy   = year (99)
%cyyyy = year (1999)
%cm    = month (1)
%cmm   = month (01)
%cmmm  = month (Jan => like defined in local Windows settings)
%cmmmm = month (January => like defined in local Windows settings)
%cd    = day (1)
%cdd   = day (01)
%cddd  = day (Mon => like defined in local Windows settings)
%cdddd = day (Monday => like defined in local Windows settings)
%ch    = hour (5 => 12h system)
%chh   = hour (05 => 12h system)
%cH    = hour (5 => 24h system)
%cHH   = hour (05 => 24h system)
%cn    = minutes (1)
%cnn   = minutes (01)
%cs    = seconds (1)
%css   = seconds (01)
%ct    = AM/PM (a/p)
%ctt   = AM/PM (am/pm)
%cT    = AM/PM (A/P)
%cTT   = AM/PM (AM/PM)
%coo   = Ordinal (st, nd, rd, th)

Countdown date/time placeholders:
%iyy   = year (99)
%iyyyy = year (1999)
%im    = month (1)
%imm   = month (01)
%immm  = month (Jan => like defined in local Windows settings)
%immmm = month (January => like defined in local Windows settings)
%id    = day (1)
%idd   = day (01)
%iddd  = day (Mon => like defined in local Windows settings)
%idddd = day (Monday => like defined in local Windows settings)
%ih    = hour (5 => 12h system)
%ihh   = hour (05 => 12h system)
%iH    = hour (5 => 24h system)
%iHH   = hour (05 => 24h system)
%in    = minutes (1)
%inn   = minutes (01)
%is    = seconds (1)
%iss   = seconds (01)
%it    = AM/PM (a/p)
%itt   = AM/PM (am/pm)
%iT    = AM/PM (A/P)
%iTT   = AM/PM (AM/PM)
%ioo   = Ordinal (st, nd, rd, th)


Note that all abrivations are the standard Windows abrivations used in many programming languages. In other words, it is best to used them like this, and not to invent your own as this is confusing otherwise.


Leftover/passed number placeholders:
%lnd = leftover/passed number of days
%lny = leftover/passed number of years
%lnm = leftover/passed number of months
%lnh = leftover/passed number of hours
%lnn = leftover/passed number of minutes
%lns = leftover/passed number of seconds

%lwd = the word used for "day"/"days"
%lwy = the word used for "year"/"years"
%lwm = the word used for "month/months"
%lwh = the word used for "hour"/"hours"
%lwn = the word used for "minute"/"minutes"
%lws = the word used for "second"/"seconds"

Depending on which "leftover/passed" placeholders you use, the placeholders should return the exact amount. eg:
   current date/time field: "20 juli 2004, 05:10:00"
   countdown date/time field: "30 juli 2004 07:20:00"
   countdown nick field: "%nick - %countdown"

   countdown placeholder field: "%lnh %lwh to go"
    => %countdown returns: "242 hours to go"
         (your countdown nick will be: "<current stored nick> - 242 hours to go")

   countdown placeholder field: "%lnd %lwd %lnh %lwh left"
    => %countdown returns: "10 days 2 hours left"
         (your countdown nick will be: "<current stored nick> - 10 days 2 hours left")

   ^^ both used %lnh, but both will return a different value depending on what other Leftover/passed placeholders are used...


The commands:

/xcountdownconfig => brings you to the config panel
/xcountdownon => starts the countdown; the current nick is stored so it can be restored later.
/xcountdownoff => stops the countdown; the previously stored nick is restored
(!xcountdown) => returns the interpreted %countdown placeholder. This is where the split in %nick and %countdown comes in handy. With this tag you can use the countdown function in your typed text also...





Voila, with this I think everybody will be happy as it allows you to do everything... Did I forget something?

of course this is possible although i think this would have to be done in a seperate Program and not a plugin

But this would still require you to have a open convo and then run the command, and then remember not to close that window, coz if you do then the command will stop running... am I right??? or how will you DjMorphine do it??

I think TB has that working now. So any news?

Longe time..no news. So..how's it going? done yet?

you can get countdowns in your DP with Advanced Display Picture, look for it at the msn/windows messenger forums or at msgweb.nl/adp

for the nicknames, I believe there isn't an easy way to change nicknames externally for the moment...

Is this plugin done yet or able to download???

or wats the latest news ?

Any ideas about whether or not this plugin is coming out?

yeah i'm looking forward to this plugin
