Hello,

I've a problem with sendig a lot of text by using ChatWnd.SendMessage. Afther 15 entries the chatwindow accept no input from the ChatWnd.SendMessage function. Is that a security? By that, how can I overrule the security?
I ve also tried with a wait/sleep but that doesnot work. (setTimeout("moveNext()", 1000)) afther 10 rows. Also the wait.dll does not make me happy. does not work or I make mistake.. .

Can someone help me?



                if (RSSong.EOF)
                {
                    ChatWnd.SendMessage("+.+ Niets gevonden" );
                }
                else
                {
                    ChatWnd.SendMessage("+.+ Wel wat gevonden met " + ZoekenNaar );
                    var aa = 1
                    while (!RSSong.EOF)
                    {
                      if(aa == 10)
                      {
                        Interop.Call(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath+'\\Wait.dll', "Attente", 2000);
                        Interop.FreeDLL(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath+'\\Wait.dll');
                        RSSong.moveNext();
                        var aa = 1
                      }
                      else
                      {
                        aa = aa + 1
                        ChatWnd.SendMessage("+.+ ID:"+RSSong("ID").Value+" ---- " + RSSong("artist").Value + ", " + RSSong("title").Value);
                        RSSong.moveNext();
                      }

                    }
                }
                RSSong.Close();

Great....  I love scripting...

But, how can I post more rows?
By waiting to send?

AFAIK the only way to send messages again is if the contact sends a message, or the user sends one manually.

Hope this helps

Thx but no option.
I want to create a music request robot. The problem shows when a MSNchat person request a title list. The script search in SQL and returns several rows. By row 15 it stops....
The setTimeout() doesnot work. I get an object error. My idea was to freeze the SQLoutput. To bad.

can't you send in one message??

As foaly said, sending the list in one message would probably be the best way to solve this. You can send a lot of lines in one message. The "\n" string introduces a new line. I believe that this has been discussed on these forum in passing in connection with the Fileserver script.

Hope this helps

What you're experiencing is the flood protection mechanism. It prevents scripts to send more than 15 messages within 20 seconds. If you add a timer to send your messages one after the other in a short interval( let's say 1 second) then it should work fine.

Is there really a need for flood protection?  Is it just in case people make infinite loops by accident or is it just to stop people making flooders?

Because I could make a script that would delete half of someones registry and critical system files, record their passwords and email them to me or never let them sign in without removing the script... but I couldn't make a flooder?

Ah well, doesn't matter, it rarely gets in the way of legitimate scripting anyway I suppose, just seems like an unnecessary restriction to me.

Wouldn't it be possible to simulate the user sending a message by putting your message in the edit box with your script, then simulating and enter keypress?

Just a thought, i havn't tried it myself

Well, think about it another way: 20 messages within 15 seconds... I do think that if you send more in such a short period of time, you'll be most likely annoying people.

It means that setTimeout is not a function. You can use a Plus! timer though

Im making a 'bot' as such using msgplus, but it stops after 15 msg... even if the user types...

Its annoying cause of my number guessing script, they keep guessing numbers, ut after 14... it locks up.

any way around this?

The way around this would be get the handle of the Chat Window (really easy as its a property of the ChatWnd object).

Use the PostMessage API to send the text to the window then you can simulate pressing Enter. That is a way around the flood protection.
