O.P. PluginReloader.dll - Never have to restart msn again
PluginReloader.dll - It does exactly what it says on the tin! :P
I wrote this plugin because i hated having to restart msn every time i rebuilt a plugin i was working on.

Patchou included this for new plugin installers, but not all installers impliment it (they just remind you to restart msn). Its even more annoying when developing plugins, because for every change no matter how trivial requires you to restart msn to test it out.

This plugin solves this problem by telling plus! to unload the plugin dlls. You will then have 5 seconds to add new plugins/update them/delete old plugins before plus reloads them. Unfortunately this time interval cannot be changed except by patchou, so you will have to work quickly, but it is possible to do any action as long as you are fast enough.

The syntax for this plugin:
/xreload
Simple eh? And all you need to do to install it is extract the zipped dll to your plugins directory (no fancy installers this time :P)
The only snag: You have to restart msn to make it work (oh the irony)
To get it: click here

Enjoy :D

ok sorry for the mix-up there.
The file has been updated, so go download it for real this time.

Known limitations:
you have only 5 seconds to change the dlls.
The menu items do not get updated.

These are limitations within plus itself, not with this pluign, so maybe Patchou, if you read this you could make a change for the next plus! release?

RE: PluginReloader.dll - Never have to restart msn again
right, this is weird and although I didn't actually code it I don't see how this could be happening. can someone please post that it *is* working, just to make sure that optimism_ and I don't have freak copies of MSN/Plus! :)
Can you also make sure you have the latest version of MSN (6.0.0602) and Plus! (2.20.53).

Thanks
