is it so hard? by tda87 on 09-11-2004 at 09:25 PM
i was reading some threads about the nicknames, and i saw that a few people want to have the nick to change automatic or in some time and a few answered that it's very hard or it's imposible, but there is a messenger add-on called "messenger plus plus" that automatically changes your nick periodically, according to a list specified. i think it could be handy in this messenger

Messinger Plus plus could very well be a proxy, then it is easy to do. But Msg plus does things by hooking with Messinger, which makes things alot different.

Anyway, I'm sure that if you looked hard enough, you'd find something...

OK, I scoured all the APIs Messenger has, and there is nothing provided to change your display name. That leaves you with three solutions:
- Use "/nick <nick>" in a conversation window (requires Plus)
- Use system messages to simulate the user changing their nick in the Options dialog
- Communicate with the server directly
Good luck!
