I have just recently (26 Aug 06) released a simple script that delays the WLM signin process for 20 seconds.  This is great if you have a wireless connection that does not connect immediately. Msgplus for MSN Messenger 7.5 had a great registry dword value called "delayedsignin" but this does not work from MSN Messenger Plus Live. This script will avoid having to restart Messenger when it receives a connection error.

Delayed Signin Script

How to use this script:
You must TURN OFF the Messenger option to automatically sign in when connected and also you MUST HAVE your email and password stored. You can edit the delay time by editing the script where it shows "20000". Just enter your desired time in milliseconds.

PLEASE, Please let me know if you enjoy this or if there is anything I should now about this script.  This was my first attempt at scripting anything other that DOS batch files and this language is new and scary for me .  Thanks all.

Simple and Effective

Also, you don't need to keep the empty events in there
If you don't use them just delete them.

Thats gonna be very useful for me and my trusty little wireless connection Wish I'd have thought of making it to be honest

Followed the instruction...but messenger just never signs back in....

Great script, maybe you could make a GUI and let people choose how long the delay is

would mess patch or a patch interfere with this script? things like change status while signing in ..or removing this and that...
coz that might stop it from signing back on..

an update of this would be so great!!

Thanks again!

i think there's a problem with this script that it doesnt allow delay time to be more than certain time...coz i need to waite atleast 1min+ to for my disconnection to get reconnected...

can someone fix this script plzzz....i really need it ....

You can edit the script yourself:

Go to Plus! > Preferences > General > Scripts > Delayed Signin > Edit

You will see:

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart)
{
MsgPlus.AddTimer('delay',20000);
}

function OnEvent_Timer(timerId)
{
if (timerId == 'delay');
Messenger.Autosignin();
}

---

Now simply change the delay time (the underlined part in the above code) from 20000 to whatever you want. The number is in milliseconds, so:

1000 = 1 second
10000 = 10 seconds
60000 = 1 minute
etc

After you've changed it, press "Close" and you're done.
