Changing the nickname in a message by Scott on 06-25-2006 at 01:09 PM

In Stuffplug there was a feature which made sure that when you received a message, the send-time of that message was shown as prefix of the nickname. It would be something like this:

I'd like to make a script for MP!L which does the same, but I cannot find how to change the nickname in a chatwindow.

Does anybody know that ?

Thanks,
Scott

It is a feature in Windows Live Messenger, check your options :P.

WLM has this feature. :)
It just doesnt show seconds.

Tools -> Options -> Messages -> Show timestamps on messages

Yes, I know, but it's without seconds and as suffix of the nickname :P I know I'm an antfucker, but I'd like to have it with seconds and as prefix :P

prefix looks a lot nicer! maybe a script to make it a prefix instead? and seconds look nice too! (and with [] brackets to look neater?)

Yeah indeed! Probably it's 'says', I don't know because I have the Dutch WLM :)

well if it's possible to change the "says" to "wrote" that would be awesome too, "wrote" looks nicer :)
might be good to change the title to "Timestamping" or something to attract more attention?

You can't do that with scripts...

you sure? it was done with stuffplugNG2 wasn't it?
+if not i guess we'll have to wait for stuffplug3 and hope it's on that.
RE: Changing the nickname in a message by segosa on 06-25-2006 at 01:40 PM

Well, okay, lemme rephrase:

You can't do that using the functions provided to you by the MsgPlus Live Scripting Engine. You can do it in a different way (patching memory) just as StuffPlug-NG did. But that's not really a question of how to use the Scripting Engine, but rather how to reverse engineer the Messenger exe and such.

Ah, that's a pity.. Well, thanks for your replies anyway :)
