I've seen the Scripting Documentation. The thing is I created a script which rotates nicknames as u login, plus it lets u choose either one of'em with a command, but nicknames are different to everyone, so the script will require the user to open it and add his own nicknames which he wants to rotate.

just post it

Well it's OK to do it, but it's a lot less professional, what you want to do is make windows or commands the user could use to enter their preferences, and then save them somewhere (like the registry, or in a txt file).

For example, you make a plus window that has a large text box where the user can enter each nickname they want, seperated by a new line.  You then save that to a file and read it from there every time the script is loaded.

This is my script, I want to upload it as plsc. so ppl can download and import it, so i wanna know if it's ok it has to be edited:

var old_DP = "N/A";
var old_NN = "N/A";
var old_PM = "N/A";
var nck_ckc = "N/A";
var nick0 = "[c=2](.•'\\_ Pêd®o çë$å® _/'•_) Imposible means you haven't FOUND a solution[/c=4]";
var nick1 = "[c=2](.•'\\_ Pêd®o çë$å® _/'•_) Adobe Photoshop CS3 v.10 Must Rock[/c=21]";
var nick2 = "[c=2](.•'\\_ Pêd®o çë$å® _/'•_) Only the Deads have seen the END OF WAR![/c=1]";

thanks alex that's what I wanted to know, but yet I am noob so I don't know how to create windows or manage external txt files, I have the script documentation but is a little hard since english is not my "default" (is that even ok?) language. Can someone point me in the right direction. Some tutorial or (more) detailed documentation about windows and external files??

Are function as feof, fget*, etc available in JavaScript?

code:

var fsObj = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

code:

---

// Reads the full contents of a text file to a variable
function ReadFile (file) {
  var fileObj = fsObj.OpenTextFile(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + '\\' + file, 1);
  var contents = fileObj.ReadAll();
  fileObj.Close();
  return contents;
}

Besides that this script can be optimized extremely and that you used many things and methods which aren't needed (though, it works, so if this is your first script then ):

1. code:

   ---

   ScriptCommands += '<Name>nick1</Name>';
   ScriptCommands += '<Description>Changes the nick to the number 2</Description>';
   

   ---

   From the user's point of view this isn't logical. If he enters a command with a number (eg: 1) he expects that this command performs action 1, not action 2.
   
   
2. /nick2 is an existing command from Messenger Plus!. Your script breaks this functionality. Do not do that....
   
   In fact you don't need all those commands /nick0, /nick1, /nick2, etc if you would use parameters.

I saw the parameter in the Script Documentation I just didn't get it, can u give me an example?

And by the what u say about nick1 switching to to nick2, that's just a mistake, besides, all nick-related code was originally though to me, I wanted to upload the name, pm, and dp cloning part to the DB but there's one almost the same. I'm trying to modify it a bit, so hopefully I'll be accepted next time.

Wich code do u say ain't needed, I'm trying to make my script as easy as possible, I'd also like to know how can I add a contact's Display Picture (or my own) to a Display Toast??

here is the same script, but this time properly idented and with the proper methods.

All the bugs you have in the original, still remains in this one. I didn't change anything to the actual code (other than replacing /nick0, /nick1 and /nick2 because they interfear with Plus!'s /nick2 command).

The script contains a lot of things which might go wrong or things which aren't taken in account (eg: multi contact conversations, user changing the nick to something else manually, user using a parameter after commands, the backup doesn't work in all cases, etc, etc, etc).

I still wanna know how to add someone's Display Picture to a Display Toast.

I'll just forget about that (for now, while I'm still a noob). How can I program my msgplus to automatically send a message to a contact as soon as he logs in?

I downloaded the script, I want one simpler that I can understand though, 'cuz I got nothing of that one, I basically want to know how to send a specific text automatically. I also want to know how to use the Messenger.MyStatus and the Contact.Status functions.
