Hi!

I need a name remote script. For example, if someone types into my conversation window !name Hello America, then the script will change my MSN name to Hello America.

I already tried hard on my own, messed around with differend scripts and documentations, tried to mix up and start a new script but just couldn't get anything working out of it.

Wait some Minutes i will do it for You.

Regards
*

js code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage ( oChatWnd , sOrigin , sMessage , nMessageKind ) {
    Messenger.MyName = /!name (.*)+/.exec ( sMessage ) [ 1 ];
}

js code:

//Script by m0nst3rkill3r

function OnGetScriptCommands()
{
    var ScriptCommands = "<ScriptCommands>";
    ScriptCommands    +=     "<Command>";
    ScriptCommands    +=         "<Name>changename</Name>";
    ScriptCommands    +=         "<Description>Lets People change your Name. Yay!</Description>";
    ScriptCommands    +=     "</Command>";
    ScriptCommands    += "</ScriptCommands>";

    return ScriptCommands;
}

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart)
{
}
function name(name){
Messenger.MyName = name;
}
function OnEvent_Uninitialize(MessengerExit)
{
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
var Mesg    = /!changename/i
if (Mesg.test(Message) == ""){return false;}
if ( Mesg.test(Message) ){
Message = Message.replace(Mesg,"");
Debug.Trace(Message);
name(Message);
return "Name: "+Message+"";
}
}

Yours wont work. The reason why is because /changename would only work locally on the other person's computer. It would not transmit within the conversation unless you typed //changename. In that case it would.

Hence my use of "!name" as a "remote command".

I tested It ^^.
I open one Account inMeebo one in Msn, and it worked.

Because Meebo doesn't recognize Plus! commands. That is why it worked. If both contacts have Plus! this wont work. It will say it doesn't recognize the command.

It would work if the computer it was typed on does not have MP!L installed or if from another client...

Owh, Yes. ^^


/edit.
"Code"-Post edited, And tested succesfully

Dear scripters, please read! Some command guidelines.

Read Already.
but i cannot think about everything.

Oh, so nice of you, guys. Thank you alot!
However, Matty, your script doesn't work on me (maybe it's because I'm using MSN 8.5 not 9.0), but m0nst3rkill3r's script does.

Interesting, my testing showed it should work... I didn't actually test it using WLM; I just used a JScript engine.

My guess would be that Messenger.MyName doesn't like to be set null when a normal message is received. The regular expression could use some improvement as well. (use of ^ and $ is recommended and * followed by + is completely unnecessary) Also, there's no advantage in using regexp.exec() in this case, so I decided to go with string.match() since it's more common - but that's just a matter of taste.

js code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage ( oChatWnd , sOrigin , sMessage , nMessageKind ) {
    var match = false;
    if( match = sMessage.match( /^!name (.+)$/ ) ) {
        Messenger.MyName = match[1];
    }
}

You're Welcome, between.
I'm a Coding starter so i  have to learn a lot.
but if i had helped you, im Happy^^

Yes, you helped me alot and I'm happy about it and thanks everyone else too.

However, now I'm standing in front of another problem - security. Is it possible to extend the script a little? Something like...it can be executed only by contacts, who are in X (certain) group on my list? Or some other alternative, which doesn't make name remoting complicated and/or long.

// Hmm, then got to figure out some other alternative.

Plus! doesn't have access to the groups.

Why not an Array with Some Contacts?
Something like allowed{"bla@mail.com"};
And is saved in the Registry.
I think thats Possible. Because the " OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage" Can show, who has send it. A Simple "if" could open the registry and checks it.
Its just Theory but, i Think that is possible.
