Random quote in name by Mushroom_Man on 07-08-2004 at 08:57 PM
This is probably very easy to do if you can write plugin's so I'm officially gonna make this a request without feeling guilty about it.
Basically, my name on messenger is:
Mushroom_Man - <quote>
where <quote> is an actual quote
What I want, is a plugin which changes that quote every time i log in/turn on messenger, to a random one from a list or text file or something.
Please don't tell me I can do this with Quick Texts, because with quick texts it won't be automated, nor will it be random, nor will teh list be long enough
Anyone care to take up the challenge? Please? Pretty please?

Nice one, thanks. Having said that, you might wanna write that as a full blown plugin (in breaks when writing SPNG), seeing as demand has already exceeded one person

As an afterthought (and this is why I'm double posting it), is there any way i can use my own list of quotes with that program?

m_m: yes you can, if you can program. I think it's even possible using a batch file !!

m_e (yes, I am using that out of spite 
): Therein lies the problem - I can't program at all. And I don't see how it would be possible using a batch file, if the prog sticks on a quote to the specified text instead of just changing your nick to the specified.

Dempsey did make something similar...
It was changing your name to a random quote every minute...
It was getting on my nerves...
RE: Random quote in name by Millenium_edition on 07-11-2004 at 08:46 AM
M_M: i don't know batch either, but it has IF, so it should be possible. but it's completed in a half an hour in VB

Mike: Nah, I just wanted it to change it at every log on or day or something

I could make a program that changes your name to...
Mushroom_Man - [Quote]
on login. I actually should make it for myself , The only problem is the only way I could change the name is using StuffPlug NG.

stuffplug ng? wtf? use the program TB posted =/

Hey, I don't mind how it works - everyone and their dog has SPNG now anyway, so i dont mind if it uses that (although I agree that if it can be made stand alone it would be better) If you can, I'd be very grateful. I'd get you a cookie or something.
