Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum and had this Idea I would like to share with you

Is it possible to make a script that allows you to chat in-game or a fullscreen program?


If this is possible, then could someone make it please


Note: Please don't tell me about that plugin on xfire that allows you to use MSN on it

Another Note: If this has been posted before please don't tell me to use the search function and flame me, I'm too lazy to do so.

lol posting this is far more exhausting than searching the forums

Maybe you should use that Xfire plugin that allows you to use MSN on it

how so?

and no that thing is just plain annoying and stuffed up my xfire, but I fixed it now =/

this would be useful for when playing Empire Earth or such, as you get so englufed you forget to Alt+Tab, so if it was just in the corner would be easier

Having it in the corner of the screen?...

I was thinking more of an xfire-like script where you press a combination of keys and it makes it appear.

lol and empire earth... wouldn't you be too busy building and stuff to

Out for too long? It's only been a day...

The thing is, the undertaking this would require would be huge. It's not easy to do, would require hooking messenger.

no i mean like a lttle pop up showing you the messagewhicle you are in the game, (as wlm and mpl alerts do not show in a game) a and then if you want to reply you click on it and it automaticaly ALT+TAB's or something, but if you dont wanna you leave it?

and with Empire Earth some points you are just sitting there watching so it would be cool to be able to talk while im letting the little dudes do their thing.

This may not be what your looking for but when I play full screen games I set my status to busy and which triggers the keyflasher script to turn on. so now when I have the game playing in full screen and i get a new msg my num lock, scroll lock, or caps lock LED lights will flash (i use num lock). so then i just quickly alt+tab out and have a look. this way i dont have to keep checking if anyone has been trying to contact me.
perhaps you could give this a go?

I tried giving this ago, but I think it would require hooking DirectX processes or something, it's way out of my league.  Though if you use AppMon+ you can set it to beep the internal speaker when you get a new message when certain programs are running (ie.  your games) then you can Alt+Tab out.

Heh I tried both of them. Problem is I play games that takes a long time to go to the desktop and takes a very long time just to alt tab back in.

Oh and if anyone from the Messenger Plus Live! Development Team is reading this please think about adding this in Messenger Plus Live! Version 5 or 6 or 7 etc, somehow...
