In Stuffplug there was a feature which made sure that when you received a message, the send-time of that message was shown as prefix of the nickname. It would be something like this:

I'd like to make a script for MP!L which does the same, but I cannot find how to change the nickname in a chatwindow.

Does anybody know that ?

Thanks,

It is a feature in Windows Live Messenger, check your options .

WLM has this feature.
It just doesnt show seconds.

Tools -> Options -> Messages -> Show timestamps on messages

Yes, I know, but it's without seconds and as suffix of the nickname I know I'm an antfucker, but I'd like to have it with seconds and as prefix

prefix looks a lot nicer! maybe a script to make it a prefix instead? and seconds look nice too! (and with [] brackets to look neater?)

Yeah indeed! Probably it's 'says', I don't know because I have the Dutch WLM

well if it's possible to change the "says" to "wrote" that would be awesome too, "wrote" looks nicer

might be good to change the title to "Timestamping" or something to attract more attention?

You can't do that with scripts...

you sure? it was done with stuffplugNG2 wasn't it?
+if not i guess we'll have to wait for stuffplug3 and hope it's on that.

Well, okay, lemme rephrase:

You can't do that using the functions provided to you by the MsgPlus Live Scripting Engine. You can do it in a different way (patching memory) just as StuffPlug-NG did. But that's not really a question of how to use the Scripting Engine, but rather how to reverse engineer the Messenger exe and such.
