Yes, it's correct..
I am working on a script called Skin creator, it'll do what the name says.

Currently it doesn't fulfil its purpose (creating and editing skins), but there are some powerful side features, like skin updating. See attachment for download.

About skin updating: currently I have 2 files you can specify (GTA IV Messenger and Apple Live Messenger) and the links are below. You must have these skins if you want the update system to work!

Of course you can use these 2 files as an example to make your own and host them anywhere as you'll have to specify their urls so there is no limitation in this system. The data specified in these files is an EXACT match (CAsE insENsITivE) of the information found on msgpluslive.net (apart from the "Version" attribute).

If you see this window poppin' up, you need to specify one of the update files.

Right now, the "New skin" window supports all children of the <Information> element, and the command syntax as well (Commands: Messenger compatibility and SkinTracing aren't supported; can be specified in the window).

Added: Now you can add one PlusSkin element.

The command syntax can be retrieved by opening a chat window and typing:

code:

---

/SkinCreator -FunctionNames -Anything (this parameter can be anything)

---

The .plsc is broken.

What exactly does skin updating do?

Hi,

Thank you for reporting the broken plsc, I am going to fix it right away.

Skin updating sends a request to the specified file, checks the ersion number specified in it and displays an alert window (or toast) when the file loaded during the request has a larger version number than the skin itself. From then, you can choose whether to download the update, or ignore the warning (it'll be displayed again every time an update request is made).

EDIT::

plsc fixed.

Ah, so you're not limited to those two XML URLs only, that kinda threw me off .

You should know the next Plus! version will have built in auto-update for scripts and skins. Developers can still disable Plus' auto-update and use their own system if they wish, but by default Plus! will be able to preform auto-update on almost every skin and script in the download DB. Not that you shouldn't continue to create this, but i wanted to be sure you know about it.

I apparently wasn't aware of this feature, since I have never actually received an update alert of Plus!, nor do I have any skins that have been uploaded by it. Therefore I'll continue to develop the SkinUpdate feature, since one can specify their own skins (rather that Plus! checking them all) and skins that are not uploaded to the database still can be updated (since the XMLs specify a link to the plsk file).

But you're right, your approach does have other features.

i get the same debug

i also get type mismatch errors

Hmm, that's strange, since I don't seem to have that bug.. Cannot recreate it either..

EDIT::

Could you please confirm that the file in MsgPlusPath\Skin creator\SkinUpdates.xml exists?

I think I have found the problem:

The RegRead function returns either the value stored in the key, and if it doesn't exist, it returns "__none". Therefore there's a type mismatch.. I'll handle it..

Fixed

Hrm, and I can't get the script working at all. Import is fine, then my Debug window is flooded with pages full of rubbish important debug notes, but apparently the Init() is never exiting with success so "Initialised" is never getting true. Then I send commands resulting in > Message sent (25), > Message sent (22), etc. but the command always returns as not recognised. Also, when reading the source, I found an array like ['4.50', '4.60'] which might actually cause problems because I am running a newer version of MPL than specified in that array. Long text, short result: can't get this thing working and wasted some 20 mins on it. Btw, who did allow you to add updateability for Apple Live Messenger?

Updateability? I only gave the update XML file a different version number, nothing was changed to the skin itself.

The array thing: that's for the skin editor itself, it won't prevent you from running it..

Now the last part: Init() that keeps returning false..

I'll remove all registry keys and see what happens (that's probably what prevents initialisation not anymore)

Commands seem to work now
