I would like a Display Picture Status changer so when I change my status it will automatically change my display picture.

I was using dpstatus.exe but it doesn't recognise any of my Personalised Statuses in Plus! Live.  The other thing is it runs as it's on application in my system tray which I don't particularly like.

umm are there any function that changes display picture ?

there is something like that but i dont know how to use it :

The Messenger::MyDisplayPicture property returns the path to the display picture file used by the current Messenger user. It can also be used to change the display picture of the current user based on an existing file.

code:

---

function OnEvent_MyStatusChange(Stat) {
      if(Stat == 2) {
             //Appear Offline - Set the DP Path here
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "";
      } else if(Stat == 3) {
             //Online - Set the DP Path here
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "";
      } else if(Stat == 4) {
             //Busy - Set the DP Path here
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "";
      } else if(Stat == 5) {
             //Be Right Back - Set the DP Path here
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "";
      } else if(Stat == 6) {
             //Idle - Set the DP Path here
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "";
      } else if(Stat == 7) {
             //Away - Set the DP Path here
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "";
      } else if(Stat == 8) {
             //In a Call - Set the DP Path here
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "";
      } else if(Stat == 9) {
             //Out to Lunch - Set the DP Path here
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "";
      }
}

I wrote something like that , it changes display picture after a few seconds..

function OnEvent_Signin(mail)
{
    var Message = "Your picture will be changed!";
    MsgPlus.DisplayToast("",Message);
    MsgPlus.AddTimer("resim",50000);
}

function OnEvent_Timer(timerid)
{
    if(timerid=="resim")
    {
        Messenger.MyDisplayPicture="C:/dsc.jpeg";
    }
}


but it gives error ;


Function called: OnEvent_Signin
Function called: OnEvent_Timer
Error: Geçersiz yordam çağrısı veya değişken. (something like unaccepted variable or function in english)
       Line: 12. Code: -2146828283.
Function OnEvent_Timer returned an error. Code: -2147352567


what is wrong ? Thanks for your help.

I just used that Fox-NL wrote..but it still gives same error ;

Function called: OnEvent_MyStatusChange
Error: Unaccepted function or variable.
       Line: 3. Code: -2146828283.
Function OnEvent_MyStatusChange returned an error. Code: -214735

You need to make sure you have two slashes in the path.

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart){
     Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = 'C:\\look_listen_speak.jpg';
}

Your attachment doesn't work

Still gives the same error..I think there is a problem about function,it looks like undefined or something like that ?

I have the same problem.
Here my script:

code:

---

function OnEvent_MyStatusChange(Stat) {
      if(Stat == 2) {
             //Appear Offline -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\StatusDP\DP\offline.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 3) {
             //Online -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\StatusDP\DP\online.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 4) {
             //Busy -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\StatusDP\DP\busy.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 5) {
             //Be Right Back -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\StatusDP\DP\brb.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 6) {
             //Idle -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\StatusDP\DP\idle.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 7) {
             //Away -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\StatusDP\DP\away.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 8) {
             //In a Call -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\StatusDP\DP\onphone.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 9) {
             //Out to Lunch -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\StatusDP\DP\lunch.jpg";
      }
}

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart){
     Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = '\C:\\look_listen_speak.jpg';
}

The function I posted does work.

Make sure you are pointing the image to set as one that is on the PC.

It works
Thank you

Oops looks like I may have forgot something

code:

---

Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = '\C:\\look_listen_speak.jpg';

---

code:

---

function OnEvent_Signin(Mail){
Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = '\C:\\dsc.jpeg';
}

Like I pointed out above *rolleyes*

In the scripting documentation it says you have to put the slash ('\') BEFORE the path, like:

"\C:\My Documents\picture.jpg"

Dunno if it's right...

edit: oops.. too late

I have my script finished en created to a .plsc file.
Include the ScriptInfo.xml.
I have sended my script to my girlfriend, but the script doensn't work.

At my PC work the script fine.

Whats the problem?

Great Stuff guys!   

Unfortunately I don't know anything about scripting, but it looks like plenty of you guys are and interested in the Display Picture changing with the Status.

I love the way I can go to the Messenger Plus! Live Script page and download a script and it automatically installs for me.  So I look forward to seeing a script for this on there soon.   

right I've got this to work but I'm looking to extend its  usability, is there anyway to get the script to recognise custom statuses?

I have a dedicated picture for me in the bath and normally change it manually wen i change my status, if it was possible I'd like to be able to just change to my custom (In Bath) status and the picture change

the current script only detects the default statuses and my attempt at getting it to recognise a string variable failed

Well maybe you could see if the status was away or busy, and then also parse the name for the status you require? The status are like this... "{In Bath}"

Cloudy

If someone makes this with a gui, then it could very well be easily edited. All you'd need is the location for each status, then the script grabs the location, adds a / at the front, and another / everything a / is detected, and you can easily use this. Sorry if I sound complicated Just a suggestion.

I'd re-make it with a gui, but I havne't quite handled gui's yet

yeah the gui was something I was pondering about, but I've not attempted making scripts before. only along the lines of vb and actionscript so its pretty much trial and error on my behalf

My current code that works is below, thats minus the custom statuses

quote:

---

function OnEvent_MyStatusChange(Stat) {
      if(Stat == 2) {
             //Appear Offline -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\StatusDP\DP\offline.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 3) {
             //Online -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\StatusDP\DP\online.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 4) {
             //Busy -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\\Messenger Plus! Live\\Scripts\\StatusDP\\DP\\busy.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 5) {
             //Be Right Back -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\\Messenger Plus! Live\\Scripts\\StatusDP\\DP\\brb.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 6) {
             //Idle -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\\Messenger Plus! Live\\Scripts\\StatusDP\\DP\\idle.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 7) {
             //Away -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\\Messenger Plus! Live\\Scripts\\StatusDP\\DP\\away.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 8) {
             //In a Call -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\\Messenger Plus! Live\\Scripts\\StatusDP\\DP\\onphone.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 9) {
             //Out to Lunch -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\\Messenger Plus! Live\\Scripts\\StatusDP\\DP\\lunch.jpg";
      }
}
