"Exploit" polygamy a bit further with Poligami.
If you are lazy and lead a quadruple life, then this script might be for you.
Poligami allows you to automatically connect to several Messenger accounts simultaneously during Messenger startup.

New in 1.11: While you might not use the main feature, you could also use this script to prevent you from being signed out after you automatically sign in,
after opening a new instance of Messenger.
Note: In order to use this special feature, this script requires Messenger Plus! Live 4.20 or later.

Usage:
/poli config -- configuration window (also accessible from Plus! drop-down menu.)
/poli position(integer) email_address(string) -- add/change an email
/poli position(integer) -- delete the email on the corresponding position

Important:
You don't have to include your default email address in the list in the configuration window.

A few notes:
1. It has been only opening the configuration window after the script has been imported or started from the Plus! preferences panel.
In other words, it never opens the configuration window when you start the Messenger. It'd be plain annoying
2. This script relies heavily on the bandwidth when it's trying to sign into your accounts.

Many thanks to CookieRevised for the hints, vaccination, and my contacts who might see me online/offline when I forgot to set the default sign-in status to appear offline

Nice script .

code:

---

function openReadMe() {
    new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Run("%windir%\\notepad.exe " +
            MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath+"\\README.txt");
}

---

code:

---

function openReadMe() {
    new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Run(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath+"\\README.txt");
}

haha cool idea, don't need to use it personally but its first time in a while i've liked a script concept enough to post

it keeps opening messengers and sign them in with the same account...

The file has actually been updated twice since Monday

Users now can set the desired sign-in interval.
It's very useful when the sign-ins are slow, so you won't sign into the same account twice.

I also fixed OnGetScriptCommand().
I misplaced the semi-colon after &lt

First of all... this is a very nice idea... buuuuuuttt the script needs very changes...

in the last release you didn't updated the about... so you install the 1.03 and you get the about of 1.02

then you have a small problem that can be really quick repaired...
You putted all the programs path in english... how about the people that doesn't have windows in english or use other folders that you don't know the names of?

for example...

I had have to change "Program files" to "Archivos de programa"

code:

---

function messengerSignIn() {
    Debug.trace( "MessengerSignIn" );
    var objShell = new ActiveXObject( "Shell.Application" );
    objShell.ShellExecute(
            "C:\\Archivos de programa\\MSN Messenger\\msnmsgr.exe",
            "", "", "open", 1 );

    MsgPlus.AddTimer( 'endScript', (email.length) * delay * 1.5 );
    Messenger.Autosignin();
}

Thank you very much for the feedback.

If you downloaded the script from the Scripts DB, there was some problem with the version numbering.
The attached script above has the correct version numbering.

I honestly didn't think about non-English program path before

I'm sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. The script is intended to run at the very beginning of program, including Windows startup.
Don't worry, I understand what you mean and I hope I can fix the problem soon.

Do you have 3 Messenger opened when importing the script?
I think when a script is imported, it'll be initialized to every Messenger.
I'm not sure about this, though, but I'm guessing that's why it's behaving that way.

I don't think I need the delay time anymore, since it has a better sign-in method.

Thank you for your support

yes actually I obviously know that is that! jajajaja I was just kidding... I was trying to telling u... that if you can do in anyway  that only one config windows appear... (maybe the first one...) no 3...

Your welcome... I am helping u... because is the first script that I actually USE ALWAYS! I didn't request it... but I got it like ring in finger... jajajaja

Ah yeah... unfortunately, scripts have some limitations in detecting some things.

Please let me know if you find any problem

Ok mate... I will... thanks for you patience! jajajaja

I proved most of the things of the new version of your script and you did a nice job... but how about when you close all your messenger accounts? You can't do that the multiple messenger start over again, in the way I already explain it to you mate???

Hello

First thanks a lot for this plug-in it's very usefull !!! 10000 thanks lol

(i have 4 msn account)

i notice just one little bug... when we use the plug

every thing is okay but when i have an internet disconnection (like u know msn reconnect automatically...) when msn is reconnecting the plug-in open again my 4 msn (not 3 like habitually but 4) so when i let him totaly reconnect alone at last i have 8 msn opned (4 connected and 4 disconnected)

can u do some thing please to make it better please please lol

i guess you can disable the plug after the first work and enable it on msn closure...

or detect if the account is connected before opning a new msn

or detecting how many msn is running

or make a little button next live button on msn window to enable/disable the plug easily

or simply detect an internet disconnection to enable/disable the plug

or detect an msn disconnection to enable/disable

or disable the autologin of secondarys acounts after connecting them. (i think it's the better thing to do)

thanks a lot... if i know programming live plus plug i will done it but there is much to know... lol

Thank you for using this script.

You have many wonderful ideas on how to solve the bug, but sadly, there are some limitations that Plus! has that make the script imperfect.

Let me try to answer your ideas:
#1 i guess you can disable the plug after the first work and enable it on msn closure...
I originally thought of this when I started to write the script, but usability was the problem. When the script is inactive, users won't be able to add new email addresses. In order to access the configuration window, the script must be running.

or detect if the account is connected before opning a new msn
I thought of this one, too. But unfortunately there's no way to do that.

#3 or detecting how many msn is running
Right now, there's no way to know how many Messengers are running.
I tried that approach by counting the number of Messengers that have been started or ended, but there was another problem.
When the computer is shutdown, Plus! will also be shutdown and currently there is no way for Plus! to detect that a Messenger instance is ended.
This script depends on the events that Plus! detects.
For example, when a user signs in or signs out, exits Messenger.

or make a little button next live button on msn window to enable/disable the plug easily
Plus! doesn't allow us to do it

or simply detect an internet disconnection to enable/disable the plug
Same reason like #1

or detect an msn disconnection to enable/disable
Same reason like #1

or disable the autologin of secondarys acounts after connecting them. (i think it's the better thing to do)
Same reason like #3
I tried that as well, but since I cannot detect the case where the computer is shut down, the auto-signin would break and the script would not run at all

The problem intika experiences is/was something I warned about (at least I thought... dunno for certain) for such scripts. However it is perfectly possible to make the script so that it does not open new instances anymore in those cases. It takes clever planning of how the script works though and it isn't that easy/straightforward...





EDIT: fixed some spelling

Hello Weyzza thanks for your answer

i thought about it lol it appear more difficult to do that...

so...

what do u think if you create 2 diffrent plug one to add emails etc. (in the registry) this one will be alway active (enabled).
and an other to make the polygami this one will be disabled after the poligami work...

the first one will be called for example "poli-interface" and the second "poli-work"

------------------------------------

So poli-work will auto disable himself after work and poli-interface will be there to add or remove emails

Or the poli-interface will disable the poli-work after poligamy work

Or poli-interface will disable the poli-work if the statut of msn is 0  unknown (Messenger::MyStatus) like when msn is disconnected...

And/Or Poli-interface will enable poli-work if the work is not done

And/Or Poli-interface will disable poli-work if one of the adress that ar in the list is triying to connect after work

or some other idea looool

---------------------------------------

this will be easy to do ! ?


what do u think ?

you can use SHGetSpecialPath for that, you should never assume the path.

code:

---

var CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES = 0x0026;

Debug.Trace("Program Files path: " + getSpecialFolder(CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES))

function getSpecialFolder(CSIDL){
    var szSendToPath = Interop.Allocate((255 *2) +2);
    Interop.Call("Shell32", "SHGetSpecialFolderPathW", 0, szSendToPath, CSIDL, 0);
    return szSendToPath.ReadString(0);
}

The buffer must be at least MAX_PATH characters long. MAX_PATH is 260. But since paths can be longer than that, I suggest to use something like 4096 which would be more than enough. 255 is too little in any case.

But actually, one should not use this method to get the installation folder of Messenger. It should be read out of the registry.

i think it's more important to solve diconnection problem cose all most of user install msn on the default directory...

Open the Script for Editing. Change the current file to Pologami.js

Change line 10 from
var mKey = 'SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\MSNMessenger\\';

to
var mKey = 'SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows Live\\Messenger\\';

Note that this might work for some people, not for all people.

Even if Windows Live Messenger 8.x is installed, the registry keys can still be located at the old location (MSNMessenger) in the registry....

Hi everybody,

I  also changed the line 10 to solve falsemsnmsgr.exe error, and now in script debuging windows show this error:

El script está iniciándose
El script está cargado y listo
Función llamada: OnEvent_Initialize
Función llamada: OnEvent_SigninReady
getEmails
Error: Overflow (código: -2146828282).
       Archivo: Registry.js. Línea: 29.
La función OnEvent_SigninReady devolvió un error. Código: -2147352567

Messenger 8.5.1302.1018 and Messenger plus! Live 4.60.0.326

Can anyone help me with this issue.Thanks

Actually, this script works. It does the auto login and auto app run. Well, I think if you edit the line 10 code to the 1 suggested, you would need to manually run the app urself. I didn't edit mine since it works right after I downloaded it. I'm guessing that the system settings are diff.

Can somebody please make it work on the newest Windows Live Messenger 2009?

Thanks in advance!!

Ah forget it, the fixed version of theLaunch now works, and it's better than this (can do more): http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=86816
