Okay so if you people haven't found out that there is a new stuff plug update then CHECK!

So to my point...

Stuffplug has Chat only name feature.

Is there a way to make a script that changes the "Chat Only" name to certain emails?

Say you open a chat with blabla@whatever.net
Is there a way to make it detect the email, then change the chat only name to like a preset name.

And then when you talk to another person and say it detects the email you are chatting with; wtf@lol.ca and changes the "chat only name" to another preset name.

Thank you for the time and effort you put in reading this, and I hope it works.


P.S. These are example Emails

No. Just like your normal WLM nickname, you can't set it per contact.

This can be done.  All that needs to happen is when a message is sent then you need to check for the contact you are talking to and change the following registry accordingly.

code:

---

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\iAvatars.com\StuffPlug\{User Id}\szChatName

---

I would do this for you but I'm a bit busy at the moment I'm sorry.

Perhaps you could do it when you have free time? Or get someone else to do it?

..not necessarily. There's quite a few problems with that method. To name a few:
(1) Stuffplug probably doesn't read from the registry every time you send a message.
(2) It can sometimes take a bit to load the necessary activex and/or perform the actions you want. The message can already be modified and sent by this time.

There are of course many more problems..

I checked before posting to make sure it actually did check it every time.

I have found that anything to do with StuffPlug is activated after Plus! has finished first so there should not be a problem there either.

Can't be done on a per contact basis as I said on the stuffplug forums....protocol does not allow a per contact setup, just like you can't have a dp for one contact.

I thought this was in the scripts section   Someone can create a script to do this doing so as I explained in my first post.

Oops i put it in the wrong section, Move it if you want.

Still won't work...because the user ID is YOUR user ID for stuffplug settings. So as I said...not possible from a protocol point of view
