This is a little fun script I've made to compete with my friends to see who gets more messages in a regular day. My sister also noted that I talk way mroe than I listen.. and I could see that with this script. For the first hour I had like 200 msgs UP and 150 down!

Let me know how much you talk!!!

Thanks!

Edit:
Ok guys I just got home and I finished a newer, cleaner, smarter and better version.

I packed it into a plsc so you can install it.

I made it so that the script saves your number of messages up and down into the registry (as you can see in the code).

I'm always open to suggestions I hope this version works for most of you and please keep me posted!

Thanks!

ps: script code bellow

------------- code -------------------

var nUp = 0;
var nDown = 0;

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd,Message) {
nUp++;
UpdateMessage();
return Message;
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
if(Origin != Messenger.MyName) {
nDown++;
}
UpdateMessage();
}
function UpdateMessage() {
Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = "UP: "+ nUp + " DOWN: " + nDown;
}

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart)
{
nUp = ReadRegistry("MessageCounterUP");
nDown = ReadRegistry("MessageCounterDOWN");
UpdateMessage();
}

function OnEvent_Uninitialize(MessengerExit)
{
WriteRegistry("MessageCounterUP",nUp);
WriteRegistry("MessageCounterDOWN",nDown);
}

function WriteRegistry (key, value) {
var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
return Shell.RegWrite(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + Messenger.MyUserId + "\\" + key, value, "REG_SZ");
}

function ReadRegistry (key) {
var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
try {
return Shell.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + Messenger.MyUserId + "\\" + key);
} catch {
WriteRegistry(key, 0);

return 0;
}
}

function RemoveRegistry (key) {
var Shell = new ActiveXObject("Wscript.Shell");
return Shell.RegDelete(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + Messenger.MyUserId + "\\" + key);
}

This would be good to sit alongside the ePenis script

Why don't you package yours into a PLSC?

Hey there.

Thanks for the reply!

I've just started using msn live plus yesterday so I still haven't got all the knowledge to build the script in a decent way.. but I'm working on it. Been reading this forums like a maniac.

I also thought I'd post this script before I took it any further. I'm sure someone will come up with enhancements to the code in a day or two. Or maybe a whole new better faster script!

But thanks for the feedback!

haha lol, yeah its kinda funny

now it says UP: NaN DOWN: NaN I don;t understand

NaN means not a number. did you type "UP: O" or "UP: 0"?

I copied what he said to put

Lol, cool little script, maybe  you should make it a .plsc.

I like it, maybe an UI could be made with options and a mask setting.

grrr.... mine doesn't work!!!... what do I put as my PM?
