I always like having an image that goes with with my personal message, and vice versa.

I downloaded a script for automatically changing my PM and another for changing my image. I tried to synchronize them both, so the images and messages made sense together, but it was imposible to make them work at exactly the same time.

¿Could you please create a script for automatically and simultaneously changing PM and Image, and if you want, also Nickname?

Thank you

Indeed, it's impossible

That makes the difference.. If he'd mean the name seen by contacts in Windows Live (Hot)mail, it'd be impossible.

Yes, I must confess I don't know the difference between nickname and display name ... I use Live Messenger in spanish, so everything has a different name. I thought it was the nickname cause I found a script called Nickchanger

But anyway, I'm particularly interested in just changing the PM and Image simultaneously, I just suggested also the display name thinking that there could be someone else also interested in changing their name besides the PM and image.

So can you help me ?

Okay, now I'd like you to describe in full detail what you actually want the script to do, E.g. do you want it all to go automatically, or do you want to use an interface window to set a new display name?

I think I should be able to do it (not sure of course )

Thanks

...sorry, but I don't get the difference between your two examples .

The first one, is to update stuff every X minutes/seconds (or whatever), the second example is to make a full-featured script with a set of windows that allow you to configure stuff yourself (including Name & DP update intervals).

EDIT::

Can you think of a good name as well? (I can't )

It would be excellent if it had it's own window, where me or whomever could coordinate the list of PMs with the list of images, and the list of display names; and also set the amount of seconds in each set of name/image/PM.

I ain't good with names, but I guess it should be something like
"AutoDN-DP-PM", referring to Display Name, Display Picture and Personal Message.

What do you think ?

I'm workin' on it

PS I'll try to use languages as well, using a brand new system. I'll do Dutch and English myself. You've said you use a Spanish version of WLM.. Perhaps you can do a Spanish translation?

EDIT::

I need to ask you one more question:

Do you explicitly want the script to run on XP and Vista, or just Vista?

Thanks for doing this .

I didn't know that the operative system made a diference, actually I only use Windows XP.

I'm glad you haven't finished it, I had a little idea this morning and I don't know if it's too complicated or even possible... Is it possible that the rotation list of PMs include the show what i'm listening as one of the options?

I currently have the show what I'm listening option deactivated so I can show my PM, but I think it would be really cool if it was possible to show both.

What do you think?

Hey SmokingCookie . You didn't answer my question about including the "Now Playing" within the PM list.

Do you think its possible ?

It is possible, as I've seen some scripts doing so.

I should tell you though, now that school has begun again, I get to do much homework, slowing the development. Well, I don't think very badly, but still: development won't be as quick as during the holidays..

Well, if I would have used my Command line control (A button style introduced in Vista) class, it would have.

I'll now try to move on to the TabControl..

Ok, thanks for the heads up

Well I am very excited waiting for the script, but I know this is a favor your doing for someone that doesn't have your knowledge or skills in scripting, so I don't have a problem with waiting

Thank you for your help SC

THAT'S EXCELLENT !

Okay, now I DO have a complication: Plus! no longer seems to call the OnEvent or OnWindowIdEvent functions..

I am going to attach have attached a beta version of this script with the Dutch and English languages (other languages are not yet important), so that anyone can confirm this bug (to see if it's either in Plus! or in my PC). You can ignore the update warnings (they are only for tests)

EDIT::

I am stunned

I have given another script the files of this one, looked at the debugger for that script and nothing happens..

<attachment removed>

No, it's something wrong with the script. The menus don't show. You can't use commands and I told you to stick with things that will work with XP as well as Vista (task dialogs don't)

I have an alternative for the task dialog, which is used if GetVesion (Kernel32.dll) returns less than 6 (Low-order of course).

YEEEHAA!!

Thanks to Matty, it's working again
(Okay, it's a stupid error, but it won't happen again)

(Somebody give him a beer or something, I'm not 16 so can't buy beer )

I really don't get what you're saying (typing) but I'm really glad to know that Thanks for all your dedication SC

Well, in short, I said that some script functions of Messenger Plus! Live itself would not "run", preventing the script doing anything at all. In other words, I could not get it to start.
