I have learnt that Messenger Discovery Live uses the message header to send and receive Discovery's data (whether a contact has it or not).. Is this header accessible in scripting?

No, MD (mis)uses the protocol directly, it sends its own protocol messages and thus works at a much deeper level (the deepest). This is how sniffers work (though they only 'read' the incomming data, they can't 'send' it).

Even Plus! doesn't send protocol messages as that is tampering with the protocol and the chance to screw things up and the chance that things wont work is extremely high.

Sending a protocol message and sending some text via a conversation are two totally different things.

Compare it with this forum: the text I type here is send to the servers via the forum's edit box (=conversation window text). The actual data which goes to the servers via my internet connection is something much deeper (=sending protocol message).

And consider that even sniffers made in Plus! scripting don't always work (which simply output what is being recieved), you can imagine that it is way harder to even make something in scripting which can actually send proper and valid data directly via Messenger's connection.

Hmm.. And there's really no other way for scripts to interact with each other?

No. Use the normal way: send a command via a conversation.

Quite frankly, for most everyday scripters, this is already more than hard enough to make it properly, fail proof and to let it work without any (possible) bugs in all situations.


EDIT: thank you!

Okay..

Well, thanks anyway for your help.. Rep +1..

but what you could do to make it nicer is edit the received text, since both you and the contact have the script you can make the incoming text whatever you want it to be.
As long as it isn't longer (string size) then the original message...

I have tried something lie this (without success though ) :

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd,Message) {
Message += "DC_";
return Message;
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndReeiveMessage(ChatWnd,Message,Origin) {
Number = Message.search("DC_");
Message = Message.replace(Message.substr(Number),"");
return Message;
}

Didn't work though

try this

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd,Message) {
Message += "DC_";
return Message;
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd,Origin,Message) {
Number = Message.search("DC_");
Message = Message.replace("DC_","");
return Message;
}

on your original code, you're telling it to replace the index of the text with nothing (and "ChatWndReceiveMessage)
your variables/parameter on that same function are switched ("ChatWnd,Message,Origin")

No, I'm tired of this .. Maybe in a later stage..
