Hello.
Is it anybody here know a script that makes a big first-initial in a message, without writing it?

Thanks.

Not possible, in a sense that you can't change the font in a message for only certain words/characters. You can only change the font for the whole message.

Given this, there is another possebility though. You can use/create a "talker" for StuffPlug-NG which uses the Messenger Plus! character codes to make the first letter bold (and in color if you wish). But this also means that your contacts need Messenger Plus! to be installed, otherwise they wont see the bold letter and only some weird characters... (note: I didn't tried this yet, so I don't know if Plus!-tags are reconized within a StuffPlug-NG talker, but I assume they are)

With such a StuffPlug-NG Talker, this will be what the contacts with Messenger Plus! will see:
    "Hello world..."

This will be what the contacts without Plus! will see:
    "(!FB)(!FC4)H(!FR)ello world..."
or
    "4Hello world"


To make this talker, create a file called "capital.vbs" in the StuffPlug-NG talker directory and put this inside the file:

code:

---

Function talker(input)
  If input = "" Then
    talker = ""
  Else
    talker = "(!FB)(!FC4)" & Left(Trim(input), 1) & "(!FR)" & Mid(Trim(input), 2)
  End If
End Function

Hello.
Sorry for replying this late, but i was away for some days.

I don't mean a big initial, but a big one like "H" here: "Hello"
Without holding down shift to make one, just automaticly write small, and the first will become big?

Sorry my english, Hope you understand.

Do You Mean Like This??
i think that has to do with something else then doing anything in messenger

code:

---

Function talker(strInput)
   If strInput <> "" then
      If InStr(1, "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", Left(strInput, 1)) Then
         talker = UCase(Left(strInput, 1)) + Right(strInput, Len(strInput) - 1)
      Else: talker = strInput
      End If
   Else: talker = ""
   End If
End Function

---

Extract the file to C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\Plugins\StuffPlug-NG or whereever you have installed Messenger Plus! to.

In a conversation window type in /xautotalker capital then press enter
Close the conversation window and reopen it, now every time you type it will change the first letter to a capital

That didn't work wery well

Ops, i haven't enabled the auto-talker, it worked now.
Thanks Matty!

Actually i know about that edit button, and I don't like when people doublepost neither, but I've just visited a forum, and They had disabled the edit button, so I was a little into that forum

Gonna remember it next time

This can be much shorter I believe, like so:

code:

---

Function talker(strInput)
  talker = UCase(Left(strInput, 1)) + Mid(strInput, 2)
End Function

---

- UCase will only uppercase characters which have an uppercased equivalent, the rest is left alone, so no need for double checking.
- The line will also convert a 0-length string to a 0-length string (used by StuffPlug-NG to check for a valid talker).
