Well, I've read the MPL scripting guide and there, it says:

make an ScriptInfo.xml with the other files, then zip it but, change its file extension so it can be interpreted as a MPL script.
I did that, but when trying to install it, Messenger says
"The file you try to load does not appear to be a valid Messenger Plus! script pack."
But the .js script is doing ok, so the problem seems to be how to pack it.
What am I missing??

As i said, use the script packager

The problem is not how to pack it, because for that you simply zip all the files into 1 zip file (and rename the .ZIP extension to .PLSC)...

Your problem is most likely that your files (ScriptInfo.xml and/or yourscript.js) are not in unicode format but in text format.

Look at the example given in the scripting docs for the ScriptInfo.xml file (many scripts you can download from the forum and even on the official script database do not include a fully proper ScriptInfo.xml with all the tags; eg: the header tags quite often are missing). When you've edited the official example to suite your needs save it as "Unicode" in notepad.

This is also explained somewhere in the scripting docs...

It worked! 10q!
