Ok, this might not be what you want, and might be a little bit buggy (I tested it once and it gave me a correct tag).

This compares the time of the day and changes your status to "away" + the "Out to ..." status tag. Your contact only needs Messenger Plus! to see the tag (as with any custom status). But the plugin, of course, is not needed by anyone else but you.

The status tags will be: "Breakfast" between 6am and 10am; "Lunch" between 11am and 2pm; "Snack" between 3pm and 6pm; "Dinner" between 7pm and 11pm; "Snack" between 12am and 5am. (If you want me to change them, PM me ).

To install, simply put it in the Plugins folder of Messenger Plus! (usually "C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\Plugins") and run the OutToPlug.reg file (to add the little info to the registry).

To set your status, simply type "/xotset" in a conversation window and it'll do the rest.

Anyway, you can download it from here: OutToPlug 0.1.1.

If this isn't what you wanted, sorry. I'll delete my post.

Its perfect and If you dont mind another version would be great because Id really like to customize the times for breakfast and such and ect without bothering you. If your too busy then just forget it Ill get use to it but Id think alot of people would like a small plugin like this

All right, I'm making a few modifications, and it should be up soon (I'll update my previous post when it's done).

It should allow you to choose 6 diffent time gaps and put whatever text you want after "Out to" (if you want to be able to modify that part too, tell me).

Edit: Done. The new version should let you change everything in it.

Edit 24/08/2005: Yeah, sorry, you need to configure it first! Else it might not work. I'll do some modifications to it later.

Ive downloaded and im reloading the plugins now. It sounds perfect.
Edit: Hmm it seems that Plus! doesnt even find the .dll as a plugin. I put in there with MSN shut down and ran the reg file and booted up again MSN but it doesnt find it as a plugin.

Hmmm....

Try going doing this after exiting MSN Messenger (sorry!):

> Go to Start menu
> Run...
> type cmd
> press OK or hit the ENTER key
> on the DOS window type:
> regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\Plugins\OutToPlug.dll"

It should register the DLL file.

Edit: the path part "Program Files" might be different in other languages.

Edit 2:

OK registered regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\MessengerPlus! 3\Plugins\OutToPlug.dll" (you put a space between messenger and plus....happens to me too) and result is....

But when I click on my name in the main contact window and click on out to lunch it stays out to lunch (not displaying anything else) and right now its 1:33AM so it should be out to snack according to how you've configured it.
Thanks alot for the plugin but not what Im looking for.

---

You need to configure it first.

Edit: Plus! => Plugins => OutToPlug => Configure

I did configure it. I choose "Out To Lunch" as my status but it still says "Out To Lunch".

Um, no. It doesn't work that way (yet). For now, simply type the /xotset command in a conversation window.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Edit: if anyone wants to point me into the right direction to set a custom status on status change, feel free to PM me.

I used to have another plugin, it can be found in my site. But it's old and kind of useless (converts text case, also via commands).

I'm not very "fluent" with this kind of programming, so I haven't done much more or complex things.
