i'm searching for a plug-in that can change your status when i run a prog that i have chosen,

ex: i'm playing the game cod2 --> when game(exe) runs, my status has to change too "playing COD2 - busy"
something like this.

if someone can write this for me please, or if it already exsits, pleaz let me know?

thanks in advance

you can do this with MsgPlus!. the message helper section in the preferences
for example for counter strike i have:

/run "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 240
#2#/nbusy Playing: Counter Strike: Source, Leave a message

when i type /css in a conversation window it will set my status to busy and change my name to Playing: Counter Strike: Sourcce, Leave a message
the #2# is the number of seconds it takes to change

so in your case it would be

/run "<applcation path>"
#2#/nbusy Playing COD2

note: remove the <> but keep the speech marks

fast reply!

i'll test it

*edit*

this is a nice solution, but isn't it possible, when the prog starts/run, msn turns into that status automatically? and when i shut the prog down i go to the provious status? this would be alot easier.

btw when i run "/cod" (with the script you just gave me changed "/css" to "/cod"
then it gives an cod error: "WIN_ERROR: error during initialization: Couldn't load default.cfg. make sure Call of Duty is run from the correct folder. when i click on the exe file in explorer it runs normally!

well using the message helpers, it isnt possible to do that.

hmm, change the applcation path that you have typed in. If you right click a shortcut of the game (presuming the game made one on your desktop) and go to properties, there should be a box saying "Target", then an application path next to it in quotes. copy the WHOLE thing and see if it works

i did it, that way
i know sometimes it's nescessary to put a parameter after the exe, like you gave in the script: Steam.exe" -applaunch 240


but still the same result

well the parameter for counter strike is different becuase it has an application called steam.exe, and running that will just run the steam program and not the game.
post the code you have written ill take a look see

this is the code

/run "C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2\cod2sp_s.exe"
#2#/nbusy Playing COD2

/cod

for the single player mode.
directory:
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2\cod2sp_s.exe"

hmm, i havnt got a clue about that. sorry mate, but maybe someone else can help you

try the link

it's usefull!!!

just check it out, it automaticlly change the sub-nick

That program I have not tested yet but it looks good.
