Sup,

I'm trying to find a script to make the color of my text change if it begins with '>>'

Is there already such thing ? Something similar? I could sript it easily but I don't know where to start.

here you go:

code:

---

// this can have multiple values... note: these are all red colour
//   var color = 4;
//   var color = "red";
//   var color = "#ff0000";
var color = "4";

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message){
    if(Message.substr(0,2) === ">>") return "[c="+color+"]"+Message+"[/c]";
}

---

Thanks dude,

this is the code i'm using:


var color = "#889967";

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message){
    if(Message.substr(0,2) === ">>") return "[c="+color+"]"+Message+"[/c]";
}


A friend of mine reported that he was receiveing text like this: [c=#889967]>>mymessage/c]

Does this only works with people using plus? Isn't there another way of changing color, send message, restore color?

Yes this only works if the user is using Messenger Plus! Live.

1. Read the REG_BINARY registry value
   HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings\<your_windows live_id_hash>\IM Color
   
2. Set a new value for 'IM Color'
   
3. Send the message
   
4. Set the old value of 'IM Color' back.

Yes. It involves tampering with the registry and Messenger's own font settings. As a result, your contact does not need any addon to see the color.

The script must do:

1. Read the REG_BINARY registry value
   HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings\<your_windows live_id_hash>\IM Color
   
2. Set a new value for 'IM Color'
   
3. Send the message
   
4. Set the old value of 'IM Color' back.
