World Cup Live 2006 is a script that can show the latest score from the World Cup, in your psm, in conversations and in your display picture.

It also toasts you the score when it's updated!

 

Nice short script, so might be good for beginner scripters too.

Enjoy!

Sure is usefull, nice job with the display picture generation - it really does show what these scripts can do. As well as useful for scripters it has really good practical use also. Good job.

We never have to use MSN Alerts again. The Messenger Plus Live Scripts must be great!

The DP Gen doesn't seem to be working

I have downloaded your script and i am very impressed. I cant wait till the aussies play so i can see there scores

I cant seem to get the DP gen working also, and how do you open the options menu.

click the Plus icon on the contact list, or message window. It's in there.

Thanks

Thanks heaps! I hope Australia beats Italy! Go Australia!

Very nice work!

awesome script!!

benjyrama:  Hmmm, could you check C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\World Cup\Images\ (or wherever plus is installed) and see if there is a "generated.png" image there?

yeh its there

It's there for me too but it don't change my pic or my background neither. does it workd only when a game is on ?

here we go... no idea what it means

Oh wait, this plugin is still using the messenger API to set DPs, if you don't have windows messenger it probably won't work... I'll fix that and it'll probably work for you.

OK, uploaded a new version that will probably fix that.  Should be a little faster for everyone else too.

thanks

YAY. The DP Gen is working now ^_^. Sick script

y'know what would be even more awesome? the match time/ time remaining below the score in the toast

dp thing still doesnt work!!!!

You certain you downloaded the latest version?  Clear your cache or use a different browser?

That method of DP setting even worked in vista for me.

It works for me, and it's working great

alrite panic over lol, its working thanx alot

ne way of changing fonts and stuff?

U have to edit the dynimage.dll, if I'm not wrong...

hmm i hav no clue about dlls

Glad it's working.  You don't have to edit the DLL, I would have included options but it wasn't worth it for the short time the script would be any use.

To change fonts, sizes, colours etc, open the script up in the script editor and go down to the make image function, you'll see lines like:

oDynImage.Color = 0x000000;
oDynImage.FontFace = "Trebuchet MS";

You can modify those my entering a new font name, and a hex colour code.  eg:

oDynImage.Color = 0x0F14A0;
oDynImage.FontFace = "Arial";

Feel free to play around with these, and the background image is in C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\World Cup\Images\ (or your equivalent directory) if you want to change that.

Hey,

your script seems really good. Just a couple of things though.

The DP feature isnt working for me, I have read through this thread and still cant get it working.

Is there a way to get rid of the Match time thing or change the timezone for it?

Cheers
Muntted

EDIT: Display pic thing is fixed. Seems the version on the MP!L site is out of date. Still looking for a solution to the time

Good enough for me.

Thanks

do you think you could do one for Wimbledon? The Tennis scores dont have to be updated all the time... hmmm... i think it would be harder because there are lots of matches going on at the same time... maybe if you could choose the match to display?

but good work on the world cup script

Weren't when I posted that.

EDIT:  Well, weren't on the BBC's page that is.

---

Yes.  But I think it will need some kind of selection for what match to show and such... =/

Too many damn matches.

well u can show the matches involving the tom 10 seeds or maybe 15

im really luking forward to this script..

does sound like a bit of a handful, especially in the first round when there are like sixty matches a day... why not just keep it to like a choice of Centre and Court no. 1 so theres only ever one match at a time and the user chooses whether to display centre match scores or cout 1 match scores

OK, I was thinking either:

You get a choice of names to follow the scores of.

Or

It just follows the major courts, as benjyrama said.


What do you reckon?

i do like the sound of that benjyrama's idea

i say the choice of names..
but i dont mind following the major courts either

if you had the choice of names there would still be clashes cos sum top seeds could be playing at the same time (different match obviously)... it wouldnt totally eradicate the problem would it..

yeah .. so the major courts should be well and good

coming back to the world cup... anyone found out how to convert the PSM into a live ticker of play to play action? (like those on matchcasts) that would be so cool...

Just one thing ... scores in all caps sucks
You could convert the text to normal names with only the 1st letter capitalised ... the code wouldnt be too long now would it?

Applies to both the above two suggestions:

The score is just pulled from http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/sol/shared/bsp/hi/footba...tml/in_vision1.stm and I don't have the man power or time to put scores in myself so it has to come from some site I can nick it off.    The BBC page is good because it's short and easy to cut up.

I suppose I could make it capitalise the start of each word and small letter the rest but I'm not sure it's really worth it tbh. =/

If you really, really care about having it in caps I'll do it, but you could probably cope with it for a couple weeks...

yeah i guess i could but it looks a lot better that way

Dont you just have to use the string to lower function and then search and capitalise the first letter?

Actually I'm referring to setting the psm as a live commentary. but i can't find any site to pull the data from.

for the wimbledon script... i think the choice of top courts is the best idea

I'm doing it as top courts now.

Yeah i know ... i read the source ... ive been doing this stuff for months now you know

---

code:

---

function UnCaps(sString){
    for(var j = 0; j <= sString.length - 1; j++){
        var thischar = sString.charAt(j);
        if(!j==0 && !spacelast){ thischar = thischar.toLowerCase(); }
        if(thischar == ' '){ spacelast = true; } else { spacelast = false; }
        sString = sString.slice(0,j) + thischar + sString.slice(j+1,sString.length);
    }
    return sString;
}

the ukraine - switzerland game finished in penalties but my psm and dp stayed on 0-0 AET ... i had to change them manually, after 15 mins after the game had finished... is the script able to show penalty results?

same here, but guess not as it's not handled by the script... it all depends on whether the BBC site shows it.

This has to be by far the simplest yet greatest scripts so far.
I would like to see it updated to cover major sports events.
Perhaps show your favourate teams results in accordance to the BBC's site.

so how is the  wimbledon  script going on..

Options are in the menu, which is found by clicking the plus logo in a convo or the main window.  Try reading the scripting docs or opening my windows.xml to learn something about windows.

And the wimbledon script:  I'm working on it!

I cannot find it.. Anyway I guess I'm not going to make options .
Thanx anyway!

Oh one small bug that i found.

When you install the script for the first time (or edit and save the script), the scripts get reinitialised right? At this instant, i get a popup twice ie closing one popup causes the second one to show up

Ive tried this a few times and the problem seems to persist. Looping problem or something i guess

Wimbledon Script done: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=61773

I have downloaded the World Cup Script. Upon inporting it i receive a pop up box saying "an error occured whilst importing the script files"

Any ideas as to why this is happening? And if so, how to rectify it?

Thanks

Have you tried downloading again? And did you download it from http://msig.info/worldcup/?

I have indeed, but still no luck...

Are you using Windows Vista? If you are look at this topic -> http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=61707

Can you successfully import other scripts or is it just the World Cup Script?

Zahid™ - Yes I am on Vista and thanks very much for the pointer, I have looked through that.

alexp2_ad - I downloaded another script and that would not install neither.

So i looked and followed the instructions on the linked thread.

I have now successfully installed the World Cup script.

Thank you all for your help

You could have typed this entire thing in the world cup script thread you know

I did some modifications for personal use, and perhaps some suggestions for the script:

1) I read from 2 websites: BBC for score and NYtimes for live play-to-play action.

I have not found a way to automatically read in the info from the NYtimes, so for now I have to manually enter the starting point to read in the text about 5 times every match Does anyone knows a better live text feed site/rss, perhaps something short and sweet like the worldcup site's matchcast or espn gamecast?

2) The format of the string is {BBC-score}{NYtimes-action}. This can be quite long, so i display it as my nick and it overflows to the psm.

3) I also modified the toasts to differenciate goals from other events like start/HT/FT. (something like the worldcup site matchcast)


I also have an idea to "rip" some live picture off the internet and merge it with the score and display it as my "live" dp... but I have no idea where to get the photo and how to process it during runtime...

The newssource only shows AET, no PSO score and etc.

maybe the offical fifa yahoo website would be a better source, not sure how is the data going to be captured though.

I managed to get live text feed from http://footymadwc.sportbox.tv. page format is standardised so it was quite easy to extract the data. I display the last 3 plays and their minutes on my nick and psm.

However, I found that the refreshing is a bit weird. Think its because IE and Messenger share the same cache, so I have to keep the page open in IE to let the data update correctly. Wonder if there is anything  I can do about it...

I tried that, but it doesn't seem to work for the website I am using...

mid = "3034908";
var url = "http://footymadwc.sportbox.tv/football/matchcentre/matchcentre.php?id=" + mid;

I changed it to:

var url = "http://footymadwc.sportbox.tv/football/matchcentre/matchcentre.php?id=" + mid + "?refresh="+Math.random();

couldn't get anything out of it. Did I do anything wrong?

Yes, if there's already a variable in the url it'll need to be &refresh

Though I suppose that shouldn't really matter... but try anyway.

Wow! It works! thanks

hanlin, could you post your working script here thanks!

Sorry, forgot about extra-time. Modified line 318 to:

if(scr.slice(scr.length - 2, scr.length) == "FT" || scr.slice(scr.length - 3, scr.length) == "AET"){

It should handle extra time properlly...

Has anyone re-made this script for Euro 2008 ?
