couple of suggestions by illuzn on 06-13-2004 at 07:58 AM
Heres are couple of suggestions for a new msgplus version:
- Make a console so we can produce the results of (!VER) and (!PVER) without annoying our contacts, or make a /ver and /pver command that pops it up in a new window
- Allow the new msgplus button menu to have user customised commands... i don't know about you but my message windows are usually in compact mode ie. without the menu, thus if i want to send an often used command i have to try to remember it or i have to open the menu up (i am slack
)

quote:yes, KeyStorm is right, however until that gets implemented (if it is), you can do this: Right click the icon of messenger in the systray (next to the clock) and select "Send an instant message". Click the "Others" tab and write an address like this_address_don't_exist@bla.com. In the conversation that opens you can write (!VER) and (!PVER) and send the texts

I don't know how hard these things are to implement but I know that the second one is at least possible because you can add commands to the menu using quick texts. The only problem i've discovered with this method is that some commands don't function as they should eg. /xcedpstealer won't show any ce/dps however if you manually type it, it will.
/xcedpstealer
and assign an alias like /cedpstealer ?
then from the plus icon you can select that quick text, and it should work.

Yup doing that works fine 
I do it often to help with long messy plugin commands, to somthing i can remember.

Thanks for the workaround Choli 
Hmm... how peculiar... setting it as a quick text works on my windows 2003 box but not my windows xp box... go figure
<edit>Just to clarify i know i can put it in as a quick text however that's not what i want.. maybe an image will demonstrate:
I want it in a menu like that... only right now it doesn't work... the window will open however nothing is shown try it for yourself... i guess a current workaround would be to call the command 1steal so that it appears at the top of the / list</edit>

if u have a quick text saying
/msg ksdjflkadsfj@dsfjksldjfalksdf.com (!VER)
which is called ver, that should work

it works even without the weird address, like that:
/msg (!VER)
tried it, and it works
RE: couple of suggestions by illuzn on 06-14-2004 at 06:16 AM
none of those ideas work for me... /msg only opens up a new chat window... is there a command that sends a message to a user.....i've tried /noicon and /text both don't work for what i want
RE: couple of suggestions by saralk on 06-14-2004 at 08:42 PM
just type
/msg (!VER)
RE: couple of suggestions by Choli on 06-14-2004 at 10:00 PM
quote:but that won't work. that will try to open a convo with the result of (!VER), which ovbiously is not a valid contact.

it works for me. a boxs comes up saying "sorry no instant message window could be opened for user" and then it tells me the results of (!VER)
RE: couple of suggestions by Choli on 06-14-2004 at 10:27 PM
quote:yes, but wan't the point having a place where you can have the result of (!VER) and be able to copy it?

just before posting: oh well, you can do Ctrl + C at that message and copy the text
RE: couple of suggestions by illuzn on 06-15-2004 at 11:20 AM
