"Chat Only Name" feature? by PogoAddict on 10-14-2007 at 09:42 PM

I have searched through Messenger Plus! Live's features & I've looked through the scripts; I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.  Maybe someone out there can help me.  This is what I'm looking for...

If my Messenger name is, say, "Daniel is looking forward to tomorrow", then when I say "Hi" to someone, this comes up in the conversation window:

Daniel is looking forward to tomorrow says:
Hi

But rather than have my entire Messenger name come up in the conversation window, I just want this to come up:

Daniel says:
Hi

This is a feature called "Chat Only Name" that is available with the StuffPlug plug-in.  Unfortunately, it's not compatible with WLM 8.5 BETA.  And since this feature is the only reason I ever installed StuffPlug, it would just be so much nicer if I could do this through Messenger Plus! Live, which I love so much more :)

Any help that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Thanks for the link toddy.  I saw that though before I posted my original message.  Unfortunately, I'm not that comfortable messing with .dll files or registry hacking (translation: n00b :P), especially when this feature would just be nice to have & is certainly not a "necessity".

I appreciate you taking the time to respond though, TY :)

I guess my best bet will be simply to wait for WLM 8.5 to go out of its BETA phase & wait for a compatible version of SP :S
