allright, this is a very simple idea and only a small function but I, along with a few friends to whom I talked about it really would like to see this implemented.

Basically, as there are the functions such as /away, /signout, I would like to hav e a "/quit" to log out and close the program (even from the tray). I would find it very usefull because very ofen I just have the temptation to do so, or I type /signout but then I still have to rightclick and exit.

I hope you consider this,
thanks patchou

I suppose this could be useful...but for the effort of right-click and close it's probably not worth it. The command would probably be /exit

I think it be useful. Wouldnt use it much though, since i just leave msn mesenger on all the time.

hmm, i don't see how typing "quit" is any faster than typing "exit" either. ok, the buttons on the keyboard for "quit" are all on the same row, so they're closer together. (but the difference's probably somewhere in the milliseconds )

anyway, i too think such a command, be it "quit", "exit" or "shut down the currently running instance of msn messenger 6" (anyone who can think of a longer one? ) would be useful

someone could easyly make a plugin using this...

ill do it if u give me more commands, one isnt enough. ill start on it after i finish my hwk..... crappy maths. pm me some more commands
or something along those lines

so theres
- signout

Im glad to see that there are more people eager to see this function implemented , maybe we should start a poll or someething

done


/xquit
and
/xexit

plus little toast saying signing out

http://jwb.killercarrot.co.uk/pafiledb/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=15

leet mate, Im gona check it out now
wow that was fast

/edit I tried it but it didn't work properly...yet
I registered it correctly and its loaded but when I try /xquit (I configged it for /quit aswell) I get this:

#/signout (in the chat dialog) and A little menu pops up, (well..half pops up)
called "messenger milk extract", also the msn icon in the tray flickers into a msg plus icon..
which is all nice, BUT it doesn't exit. Also the little window Im not sure I like, could it be disabled

hope this helps




/edit also I was just thinking of having a command line at the bottom of the main msn window under teh user list. That would be usefull.

Not working! It sends #/signout command to conversation, and does not close Messenger. Pop-up works though :/

And it opens a website what i didnt ask for

yeah! All I want is MSN Messenger shut down, and I dont need any notification for it... I can not type /xexit by accident and not notice it

JWB I don't suppose you could attach the source of that plugin could you...I'm eager to see how it works...

Use 1 command... people can make quicktexts if they want....
/xexit seems more suitable in my eyes as this plugin will "exit" messenger. "quit" has a very slithly different meaning...

So "/xexit" and "/xexitpopup"... Like I said, people can make aliases to suit their needs

But 1 thought though: What will happen if you use this with polygamy? Take that also in account

And if the plugin could be renamed to something more descriptive like "ExitMSN" or something. Remember that "Silly Plugin" isn't realy descriptive in the plugin-menu (even if it is a very small plugin, if everybody would do that, lol )

ranting-over-and-out

I totally agree wit' Cookie!

true, those are some decent idea's..
this plugins is gonna Pwn

ok im finished 2

u lot beta be happy for me


"Exit - SignOut Only"
"/xexit"

"Quit - SignOut Only"
"/xquit"

"Exit - Shutdown Messenger - Exit Message"
"/xe"

"Quit - Shutdown Messenger - No Exit Message "
"/xq"

"Quit - SignOut Only - Pop Up"
"/xquitpop"

"Exit - SignOut Only - Pop Up"
"/xexitpop"

better explain the shut down 2
the exit one displays the message, are you sure you want to exit messenger, which is the message you get when u try to exit with open convasations

and the quit one well, just shuts down messenger, very fast as well , no message, no nothing, just dissapears


everyone keeps asking me why i keep going on/off line (noobs) and i dont wana be a geek so i say, oh i think someones hacking me

http://jwb.killercarrot.co.uk/pafiledb/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=16


btw im fucking knacked from gig last night, got maths coursework, wana finish my sites upgrade.... and im going away for the week tommorrow on a adverture week

sorry cookie

will do for the next version

man, thats pretty awesome taht you got it done, im gona test it now.
source would be interesting! hmmmmmm

/edit okay, I finished testing..

basically there is still a bug that I would like fixed ofcourse
/xe works perfectly, it asks to sign out then closes, but /xq (without message exititing function) does not work, it simply signs out.


hope this will be the last thing to work out, and thanks loads mate

yes! /xq just signes you out!

And /xq is exactly the only one of those commands that I will ever use

And... Changing "Silly thing 2" to "ExitMSN" or something like that would be indeed a good idea

Blah, I was bored today enjoy.

usage /xexit

Will only work with MSN Messenger.
Has its own Installer so enjoy.

Fixes:
Will close all instances of MSN Messenger (Polygamy)

Limitation:
No way to find out which Instance of MSN Messenger is used when typing /xexit

"i could easyly fix this  becuase the /xe has the option to show  the message or not" when will you

em, Matty, what exactly are you taking about there is no file or link attached, am I missing something?


jackasswanabe: I suppose you could just pm the source or sometn if you don't want it totally publically known, I just want to check it to see how it is done, possibly to make my own plugs next time, so I dont have to bother you guys

you make some nice programs for a 4 yr old

Anubis: yeah, I was thinking of putting a link to the file in a PM....
and yeah, I know it wouldn't tell me about other plugins but it would give me a vague idea. That's what I want, a vague Idea (okay that doesn't sound too smart but o well, I just want to know what it roughly is like, an example if you will)

a link?

segosa is after the source 2
i think ill realise the source when i realise my new site

JW does this link look familiar?

http://msnfanatic.com/index.php?module=announce&A...a1d8ba14532d61480c

em matty the thing you gave in the link on then previous page only logs out, it doesn't shut it down...
Jw, when will the fixed version be up?

Matty:
I tried your plugin, and it seems to work, when you have more than one instance of messenger running with polygamy it also only shuts down one of them. but the problem is, it shuts down the newer instance as it seems, no matter in which i type the command.

Nice idea on the whole..   i probably wouldn't use it tbh as i never really just exit my messenger instance anyway..

but i do like the idea, and the plugins seem great.

I'll have to try them both out and see what there like

Ok furryD, it doesn't seem to work for me though...also just now my msn got messed up...there are all these weird things...I uninstalled msg plus and msn, reinstalled both and they are still there (removed all plugins too)

anyway know whatthis is/how to fix this?err thanks
I can't wait for the newer versions of shutdown plugins

Im talking about those weird bars with the msn logo

Try updating your video card drivers. This had happened in the past and that solved it, for the most part

Well, I made my own version. (Specially for Pure_BY )

I think this is much simpler than jackasswanabe's, only three commands:

/xexit - Exit MSN Messenger completely.
/xexitr - Exit and then restart MSN Messenger
/xexitc - Close all conversation windows.

For /xexitr, the msnlaunch.exe (I programmed that file too, it's about 4 lines of code ) file needs to be in the plugin directory. Since that's the only way for me to relaunch MSN Messenger after it has shutdown (It launches after 3 secs, If launched earlier MSN Messenger sometimes doesn't start up properly.)

To install just copy both files to the plugin directory, then restart MSN Messenger or use a Plugin reloader.

jackasswanabe: I don't suppose I get to see your source now do I?

Segosa you win!

I conceed

ok next time im the first to make something

remind me to copywrite the idea

ill make millions

segosa:
very nice, also the functions are useful, but...
at first i thought it really did close the correct instance of msn, but it seems to close the one that was started first (istead of the newest one as matty's did)

Thats true, but others also had the idea, like me when I got the first Beta of Plus! i was like there is no exit command, and I didn't have enough spare time to actually make the plugin.

FurryD: I know, I was going to try get the parent window of the active conversation, but seeing as conversation windows don't seem to be treated as child windows, I don't think I can.

CookieRevised: I added what you want. If you specify a program after /xexitr, it will run that instead of MSN Messenger.

Matty: O_o

jackasswanabe: sorry man.

well, i just wanted to point it out. i normally only use one instance of msn messenger anyway, and for that it's just fine.

Segosa, you'rs wins works great.

thanks a lot all of ya

Tomorrow I'm going to add /xexita, It'll exit all instances of MSN Messenger. CookieRevised was being dodgy on IRC and started giving me a large list of features and stuff, I'll maybe do what he said IF I'm in a good mood .

I don't really feel the /xexita command should have one to restart too, since if you have more than one instance, I don't know how many were already open, and if only one is opened, surely you need to go start more manually, which means you could just start them all manually.

Yo, thanks, Segosa

What abouy my idea on restarting MSN Messenger by clicking popup?

Dan: That might work, but TheBlasphemer told me I could use GetCurrentProcess, and it works.

The plugin will now only exit the instance where you type it in, with /xexit and /xexitr.

/xexita has been added, which will close all instances. FYI, it uses msnlaunch.exe to do this, since imagine this:

app.exe launched 5 times, the first one is used to kill all instances.. it'll start by killing itself, thus nothing is going to kill the rest. That's what was happening with it in MSN Messenger, so I had to get msnlaunch.exe to perform the task

Pure_BY: As for the popups, they close as soon as MSN Messenger closes, so I'm not sure how I'd do that... :/
