New stuff:

• Now can get your running game (and server IP, if any) from Xfire
  
• Option to beep internal speaker on messages received if a selected program is running (useful for full screen games)
  
• Option to change display picture when certain program is running
  
• Added update system to script
  
• Added option to rate the script to the menu, once you rate the script, the option will disappear
  
• No longer using a DLL to set the PSM, this may not seem better to non-scripters... but it is.   (thanks to -dt- for the function)

• Now works properly with programs that hide their full application path (I'm looking at you Warcraft)
  
• Fixed bugs with list not displaying correctly sometimes

Blah!, Your rule,  very luffly job ...

Thanx Alot
Aaron.

Just thought id tell you to run a spell check, but great app anyway

It would be good if you could add a misc icon
Looks great though!!

Application is spelled wrong on the window title.

Configured it to change status and PSM when I open Word, but it didn't work, unless I've missed switching it on somewhere.

i dont think its working for me with World of Warcraft. I alt TAB out to see if my PSM has changed, and it hasnt. unless its so fast at changing back when i alt tab. but i kinda doubt that, as alt tabbing is fast for me.

yeah, i did that. WoW.exe is what ive used.  I tested it with BitComet.exe. and that works. So it just seems WoW isnt being picked up.

Yeah no WoW for me either. So it's either a bug or Warden is being a jackass and not letting you detect it or something.

find a file which its using as its process, right click on the task bar and go to task manager after using the windows key to minimize the game, then the program it has running is needed for it to be identified!

Problem im having is that i cant remove the script, its constantly saying there are locked files therefor still in use?? yer i edited it removed all code, and stopped it and its still complainging

WoW.exe is the process we already got that. As for your problem, disable the script, restart messenger then remove the script.

Yer its not allowing me, ill restart in a few seconds, probably just my buggy computer

i have WoW on my main computer but cant test it right now sorry, hopefully alex can find whats up

Not being able to remove the script will be the DLL being locked, closing the contact list window while removing should work.

Could someone with the WoW problem please install / run this test script while WoW is running and look on the script debugger, there should be a list of running apps made when the script was installed.  See if WoW is on that.

No WoW is shown, I think it might be Warden blocking you from finding the process.

Just a suggestion... maybe it would be good if we had the option to put some text before the running applications. Say for example...

IconPsm(icon,message);

to...

That's not true. There's a movie/video icon too.

great lil script, very useful.

However i found that it doesn't work with some of the executables i specify and i found tht the config panel is very erractic. Sometimes i access it and it has entries i have already deleted, sometimes it merges entries together, eg when i run microsoft word it has the psm Solitaire.

and could it be possible tht when said application is terminated that the status changes back to what it was?

Very Nice Script

when i restarted my comp and turned it on the next day, the script does not work, i have to manually go into config each time and tell it that my program is runnin, then when i close it it stays displayed as running and i have to manually go in and save settings again to turn it off, anyone else getting this?

i've stopped using this script for now as it keeps messing up my configuration, entries dissapear and the PMs from the missing entries replace the entries that are there. I mean ...Micro Machines v4\mmv4.exe is clearly not Unreal tournament 2004

and the top entry in the attached picture is meant to be Word.

Could you open regedit to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\GlobalSettings\Scripts\AppMon+\Settings\

and show me what it's got for the keys??

here ya go, im not too sure but nothing looks too out of the ordinary in there,
so where is the configuration being corrupted?

Well the config screen is showing the right things, it's just saving the right things at some point...

I'm going to do some extensive pissing about and see if I can find the problem. 

It seems there are some problems whith this script + games in fullscreen could u solve it
Problems whith -->Worms4/Counter strike/Wow...

First off, I am completly new to the deal using scripts as addons in the plus program , Cant say I dont like it. But just have a slight issue with one of the scripts I am using.

Considering the Authors site doesnt have a forum or contact method and I have seen the author post here, then commen sense tells me to make a post here and hope he sees it or perhaps someone else familiar with the add can help.

I have no problems with it at all, it seems to work like it supposed to.

The only thing nagging at me is that it doesnt seem to detect when the program its set to detect is closed, well I take that back it does, and changes the psm back to normal but it DOES NOT change the status back to online or what it previously was.

So yeah, I was wondering if someone, preferably the author could perhaps make an updated version or fix if its possible.

Thanks and Take Care.

MWard

Feature suggestion:

I was wondering later in development if you can add display picutres for the apps it is monitoring,

say it sets u to busy and pm is Playing Half-Life 2. I think it would be cool if you can auto change to a HL2 Display picture.

Of course it would have to reset the picture after thwe application is terminated as well as the status..

jus a thought.

MWard: don't wanna be another site with a forum with 20 members.   I'll happily provide support in the thread here, by email, messenger, whatever.  I'll try and sort out the status thing, don't have time to do any coding till this weekend so I'll sort that then.

C0NTiNUiTY: will add that as well.

So hopefully sometime this weekend you'll see a new version with Xfire support, status changing back, and DP changing.  And I'll see if I can match the path more forgivingly for those difficult programs...

Check the thread, updates will be here before the script db...

Sounds good, thanks for replying.

Added a beta version with Xfire support to the top post!

If you want to try the beta version I haven't had time to test fully download it here.  This version supports Xfire reading (turn it on in the configuration window) and should change your status back to your original one when the apps are closed.


NOT had time to fully test it, so please try it out and let me know how it works!

Awesome , It works. And the added Xfire support is a nice touch. Thank you very much.

Take Care,
MWard

Something else that could be handy with this because of Nubs that ignore your status or don't read your personal message is Auto-Response - since the built in one with Messenger plus won't work co-operativly with this.

The auto response could just be a single line message (Or Multiple if you wanna put that as another feature, I dont see the point myself - If they dont get the point from the status, Personal Message and an auto response, they are screwed for life) , so when you set it up,

Your Icon - Game

App/Game - CounterStrike

Game location - C:\blah\blah

Status - Busy

Return message when playing game -

I'm playing CounterStrike - Leave me alone.


Really good script, shame it don't work the same as Xfire allowing people who have the game to be able to join servers or view game stats and profiles. There is a mod that allows your messenger contacts to appear on Xfire you so can talk to them, and when your playing a game it appears on other peoples messengers the same way as this app allows (people who can see it but are using messenger still cn't join servers or view game stats and profiles) . but there aint one the other way around allowing WLM to work the same way as Xfire - I would love this if it was at all possible.

I can't download the beta doesn't works. I will test it when I can download it ;P

Yeesh, sites down.

Mirror: http://msig.h-master.net/AppMon+%20(Xfire%20Beta).plsc

As far as I know Mentality, if it was sending an auto message the focus would shift to the window and minimise the full screen application. You wouldn't like that while you are playing a game

I could be wrong, but in my experience when a script has sent a message it momentarily steals focus... annoying for people with slow computers (me )

i know that xfire support is in its infancy but i cant get it to work on my pc

Interestingly, I've just started having a problem with this.

But anyway, I've fixed it, so please download the beta again because I'm pretty confident this fix should work.

Xfire support is pretty groovy, glad people bugged me to do this.

Dunno about the focus switching to the window, that's a good question, I'll check out the automessage stuff and see if I can get something working.

its working a charm here tested with minesweeper, solitare and pinball

add me to xfire: anileator

just say who teh fuck you actually are

Working fine but found a little issue. If you're in offline mode it will change your status to what you've defined when you start playing a game (in my case Busy) which is unwanted.

I've "fixed" it by changing the folowing in line 430 of AppMon+.js:

code:

---

if(status>=2){ if(!statuschanged){ origstatus = Messenger.MyStatus; } Messenger.MyStatus = status; statuschanged=true; }

---

code:

---

if(status>=2) {
  if(!statuschanged) { origstatus = Messenger.MyStatus; }
  if (Messenger.MyStatus != 2) Messenger.MyStatus = status;
  statuschanged=true;
}

---

I don't know if this has been already reported, however if I start WLM after having started a program that AppMon+ has in list, WLM won't sign up and will freeze.

I have a question. Will other people be able to see the icon or do they have to have Appmon+ installed has well to see it?

New version!  Updated the main post, here's what's changed:

New stuff:

• Now can get your running game (and server IP, if any) from Xfire
  
• Option to beep internal speaker on messages received if a selected program is running (useful for full screen games)
  
• Option to change display picture when certain program is running
  
• Added update system to script
  
• Added option to rate the script to the menu, once you rate the script, the option will disappear
  
• No longer using a DLL to set the PSM, this may not seem better to non-scripters... but it is.   (thanks to -dt- for the function)

• Now works properly with programs that hide their full application path (I'm looking at you Warcraft)
  
• Fixed bugs with list not displaying correctly sometimes

If you use an animated display picture, like meego when you close the process it will make a smaller pic of your meego and not animated

please fix this bug

That happens to me and I don't have AppMon+ installed so it may be a bug with WLM, not the script

Is it possible to attach "original" PSM at the end when the programs in the list running??
Like this:

Original:
Today is a nice day!

When running WoW:
Playing WoW - Today is a nice day!

I'm sure that it is

New version!

* Brought back the ability to include your PSM in your messages (as requested above), just add (!PSM) into the message where you want it, the first one will be replaced with your PSM, but others will be removed, so if you have PSM at the end of your message for 2 apps it won't include it twice.

* Rewrote the backend to use XML instead of that hideous regsitry system I was using.  But don't worry, all your current settings will be retrieved from the registry with no hassle.

* Minor bugs sorted on the way.

* Contest update


Download from attachment!

Hi there!

I just downloaded ur new version of the script, by the way...AWESOME! Good Work...but!

I downloaded once and worked perfectly! Then i just formatted my PC and downloaded it again and... puf! it just doesn't work!

What i'm listening to ON and all stuff, all configured, but it just can't work

I wonder why

P.D.: Does Framework have something to do with it?
P.D.2: I downloaded a similar script...the "etcetera" and I tried and all other functions worked exept for the function that captures running windows and displays a PSM...weird

Hello thx for this beautiful plugin but i have a question

many thx

This script was great but for me it no longer works.

I configure it and choose the option to "Display my current playing game from Xfire" and hit save.

The thing is, when I restart Messenger the setting doesn't stay : the option to "Display my current playing game from Xfire" is unchecked. So I need to re-enable the setting every time I start WLM.

I've uninstalled an reinstalled Appmon+ in the hope that this will fix the problem but it remains.

Also, Steam games aren't recognised for some reason. (ie HL2 / Counter Strike: Source etc..)
Xfire knows what game I'm playing and it's status is displayed in Xfire as normal but the info is never relayed to Appmon+

Any chance of a fix for these issues?

hi, the link is not working for me

Friend of mine uses Appmon and had the same issue, i've fixed it for him by going to the script folder and open Configuration.js

were it says:

code:

---

xfire = (xml.selectNodes("/apps/xfire")[0].text) == 'Yes';
xfirestatus = xml.selectNodes("/apps/xfirestatus")[0].text;
beepxfire = (xml.selectNodes("/apps/beepxfire")[0].text)=='Yes';

---

code:

---

xfire = (xml.selectNodes("/apps/xfire")[0].text) == 'true';
xfirestatus = xml.selectNodes("/apps/xfirestatus")[0].text;
beepxfire = (xml.selectNodes("/apps/beepxfire")[0].text)=='true';

---

@daf.madalien:
there are two more lines needed to be changed:

code:

---

        try{ beepxfire = (WSH.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + 'beepxfire') == 'Yes'); } catch(exception){}
        try{ xfire = (WSH.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + 'xfire') == 'Yes'); } catch(exception){}

---

code:

---

        try{ beepxfire = (WSH.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + 'beepxfire') == 'true'); } catch(exception){}
        try{ xfire = (WSH.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + 'xfire') == 'true'); } catch(exception){}

---

code:

---

        var inipath = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell').ExpandEnvironmentStrings('%APPDATA%\\Xfire\\Status.ini');

---

code:

---

        var inipath = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell').ExpandEnvironmentStrings('E:\\Chat\\Xfire\\Profile\\Status.ini');

Change the Yes to true in lower case like this:

code:

---

xfire = (xml.selectNodes("/apps/xfire")[0].text) == 'true';
xfirestatus = xml.selectNodes("/apps/xfirestatus")[0].text;
beepxfire = (xml.selectNodes("/apps/beepxfire")[0].text)=='true';

---

Hope it helps.

This is a real good script!!!!

But there are two things that I don't like:

1) everytime that the script changes my status it changes my avatar too, it creates another image with a code like name and, if i don't delete clones, the image becomes more darker

2) if I use that script for more apps (for example 5, 2 with personal PM and 3 without PM) the PMs of some apps were setupped on other apps, that thing appens only when I edit an option of any app

Finally I want to know if it is possible that I heard the beep not by the external speaker but like every sound (because I use headphones)

P.S.: I'm not english so I hope that I haven't done too much errors

Thanks

ive got more games install but dosnt seem to pick any others up, but xfire dos

There's a bug in the Xfire detection mechanism.

my xfire detects the game fine and writes it to the ini file, but appmon doesn't detect them when the stutus is written to the bottom of the ini file instead of the top, so the script can't find the game because it starts searching for the game after it finds the status message. But the games are defined above the status message.

@Ezra:
what is the problem again?
the plugin is searching for [...] tags and it doesnt metter where they are.

Hi, I'm new here. I just starting using AppMon+2.0. One thing I notice is that when I specify a Display Picture in the field "Change DP while running(blank for no change)" my original Display Picture will not come back after I'm done using the application.

For example, I have an entry setup to change my PSM to say I'm playing Solitaire. It will change my picture to a deck of cards but when I finish playing Solitaire it will not change my picture back to what it was. However it will change my PSM back to what it was before I played.

If I want to put my original DP back, I have to do it manually.

Any one encounter this ?
Any possible way to fix this ?
-Thank you

Try and code a fix yourself, ask nicely that someone else do it.

We all think alex has died

Im not sure (seeing as the SS are broken) but does this use the Office/game/etc PSM icons?

Maybe with the skinning engine in 4.50 you can add your own icons.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this before, but there is a bug in the script. When using the Xfire options, they aren't actually saved when you click save because you have to set them again every time you run WLM.

Not only that, but the AppMon+ site no longer works.

msig.info returns Server not Found, confirmed.

Nah I wish this worked too, or that I knew how to code th fix myself, instead I just type it all in manually, one of -DT-'s scripts used to do this, and some others

---

I think I just pressed 'Enter' not sure if ok worked too?

The solution for the no saving problem was given somewhere in this topic, if i remember well you must search you Configuration.js file for all occourences of Yes and change them into true.

BTW. I took the liberty to edit the script code myself and it seems to be working fine with the (not so) recent changes in Xfire. This is what i got, feel free to do it too, but do it at your own risk (always wanted to say that ^^).

First, on your General Functions.js, add the following lines (beggining or end of the file, doesn't really matters):

code:

    var bFound = false, i = -1, out = "", s = "", fso, f, t;

        f = fso.OpenTextFile(path, 1, false);
        while (!f.AtEndOfStream){
            s = f.readline();
            if (s.indexOf(";") == 0){
            }else{
                if (s.toLowerCase() == "\[" + header.toLowerCase() + "\]") {
                    bFound = true;
                }
                if (bFound) {

                if (i > -1) {

                    if (key.toLowerCase() == t.toLowerCase()){

                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    f.close();
    f = null;

Does this method still work? I got it to change my personal message, but it didn't seem to change for any of my contacts.

Yes it does, using it here and still working with no problems

The reason why sometimes AppMon+ didn't change the status is because for some reason xFire could move [STATUS] to the bottom of the .ini file, and AppMon+ by default depend on [STATUS] being on top.
Before BrutuZ changes I manually edit xfire.ini file and move [STATUS] to the top.


Thanks BrutuZ for the changes, it works fine now.


P.S.

Hi all, I noticed with the WLM9 (14.0.8050) msgplus! (4.79.0.353) the game name not appear right on WLM9 in the contact list:

The script on my computer appear right, everything sounds good. But when a look my name in the contact list on another computer, the game name not appear. Only the PSM is display, when is a song is played, the song's name appear under. When someone try to talk to me, He can see the game a play in the chat window but only there...

So, anyone know how the new PSM system work?

Spunky, confirming your post, this application isnt compatible with WLM9 so my request still stands.

BTW. I took the liberty to edit the script code myself and it seems to be working fine with the (not so) recent changes in Xfire. This is what i got, feel free to do it too, but do it at your own risk (always wanted to say that ^^).

First, on your General Functions.js, add the following lines (beggining or end of the file, doesn't really matters):

And voilá, this may do the trick and your AppMon+ should be recognizing Xfire games again =)

So I'm new to the forums, I've read the "what scripts can do" thread so I'm confident this is possible.

I tried out the appmon+ script today, but due to some kind of compatibility issue it doesn't work. Maybe because its from 2006. (maybe the fact im on windows 7, WLM2009).

Would someone be able to make a script that changes "what im listening to" to fit the game/program I have open and also allow a change of my display picture and status depending on what I have running. Basicly just a newer, working version of appmon+

Any help much appreciated.
