Hello,

iIve been searching the forum, but i've haven't found a plugin that can do such thing...

I would want to use a list of several phrases and the plugin randomly or sequently, changes from one to another every day....

The list could be a file ou a window, i don't care..


Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance
Ricardo

I'm currently developing that one, I think that's what you mean...

Yes, J-thread.  is something like that, but my purpose, is not to change so offen. only one time per day...

I've already seen thoose posts, but all were still ideias or someting under construction...

How's your plugin going?
If you want, i could help you testing it

When it will be some release, even if is still beta?

Is there another one that is already done and working? or i have to wait for yours?

I've some knowleage in programming, but now i've other priorities in my life and work

Thanks for your fast reply

If you want a sequential change every day, I suggest using modular division of the date with the number of names in the file. This would save you having to keep track of a number.

Implementation is up to you of course, just offering my two cents

Thanks Raceprouk, for your sugestion and the 2 cents

If it was to do that with a programm written in bcb it was easy and quick, but it's not.

I've never done a plugin and don't know how to do it. but the principle reason is the lack of time to do it.

Maybe have to wait to j-thread to finish his good work

Writing the plugin isn't that hard but I've got some problems with the setup. Those .NET things won't install normally...

I let you know when it's done. And I think it'll be possible to change your nickname every day too...

I know what you mean about the setup. Have you tried using the latest version of Windows Installer instead of NSIS?

With your help I found a way tot test my plugin now, so when it's finished I'll work @ the installer again...

I use Inno Setup btw and that should be working. I think I know the problem. It's the way plus loads those plugins.

First it loads all the plugins in the plugin dir, and after that it calls the COM name, but with that .NET framework that name points to mscoree.dll and not the dll itself, so that's the main problem. It may work when I install the plugin in a totally different directory...

I don't think it's the way Plus! loads the plugins, it's how the plugins load the framework. They should check to see if MSCOREE.DLL is loaded already before trying to load it again.

Still, people have managed to get .NET plugins to work, so keep trying

Vr6racer:
Do you want to change the phrases in any particular order? If not, you can use the (!XRNDLINE) feature of stuffplug (not StuffplugNG). If you create a txt file with each phrase on a new line you can change one to your nickname or personal message randomly by creating a quicktext like
/nick (!XRNDLINEphrases.txt)
or
/xpsm (!XRNDLINEphrases.txt)
which won't change it automatically but if you only change it once per day it's okay.
Is this a possibility?
