A new Idea for Messenger Plus live... by FeoDra on 12-07-2007 at 01:12 PM

Hey all of you,

I have had this thought in long time. You are sitting and gaming, then you can hear a contact writing to you but can answer because you are gaming...

So I have got this idea that the next version of plus should have a function like Steam friends or Xfire, so you can talk with your contacts in-game. So I will hear you about how many will think it would be useful...?

This has been requested one or two times before. The thing is, if something like this is going to be implemented, it should be implemented for a lot of systems. Many online games use their own system, you can't support them all.

What can be done is using plugins like xfire or whatever to do the work. That is both the power of those plugins and the power of scripting in Plus!; that such specialized features don't need to be integrated.

Especially if such things wont be used by a lot of people...

I don't think you are understanding me.... exm in xfire you can push scrolllock + c and then there are coming a overlay so you can write in xfire even when you are in a game, that feature I like so if I play CS Source and one of my MSN contacts writes to me I can push example shit + p and then there comes a overlay where I can write with my MSN contacts..

I solved the problem with Xfire. There were a addon which made me also logon to Windows Live Messenger.

It's called Xfire Plus: Multi-IM, so if you need it :)
