Window creation help! by Fike on 03-18-2011 at 07:13 PM
OK, so I'm making a new script. The script is meant to open a window when /syshelp is executed in a chat window with commands etc.
I have my XML file saved (Unicode, notepad). It's just the example window, I'll modify it later on. When I did /syshelp, it didn't do anything.
Main JS: http://www.pastie.org/private/sfw6addqwlvpgtirazuwja
XML: http://www.pastie.org/private/if8folgxd9kqbpvl03rvxa
Could someone please direct me? thanks

You've named your window "TestWnd" but are trying to show "WndTest" 
xml code:
<Window Id="TestWnd" Version="1">
js code:
MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Windows.xml", "WndTest");

Changed it, that wasn't the only problem. There's something else :/

Hm, your code works here and the window shows. Double check your encoding is definitely Unicode, and that your XML file is called "Windows.xml" (as referenced by your script).
If you haven't already, you could also download the Interface Tester program (linked to in the Scripting Docs under "Testing your Windows") and try opening the window in that. If the window opens then the XML is fine and the problem lies elsewhere.
If you've checked all of the above and it still doesn't work, post back here. I cant think of anything else that could cause it, but someone else may have some further ideas

I've tried changing the name of the XML and the window (reflected changes in the script) AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK 
Interface Tester doesn't work on Plus! 5.
