Steam can do it, Xfire can do it. Why not msn?

Having the ability to have an in game overlay would be one of the best scripts out! It would be some much better than constantly minimizing the game to speak to friends.

I'm not a scripter but i just thought i'd put this idea out, or see if anyone has actually made a script that will be able to do it.

That's because xfire injects itself into the game trough DirectX, msn doesn't use DirectX to draw it's windows. And a plugin or any other extension won't be abled to change this.

The most that could be created was a new window created in DirectX by a plugin that will relay the messages of MSN to this window.

However it's not easy to inject a new window like this into a game with DirectX.

There was a plugin that did this for WLM (and IRC), but it was uber buggy and didn't work on any of the games I played.

Search the forum for it, I can't find it, but it's here

Never mind in-game overlay, I'd love if there was a script that just showed what game you were playing through Steam/Xfire. Been looking around for one, obviously not one around =/.

There is a plugin that does this, however it never worked that well for me, but it's called Appmon, try it out.

AppMon+ *

In Vista the browse doesn't seem to work, but I just copied the link to the exe manually

Yeah, I was looking at it, guess I'll try it out :)
(And I wanted to have Sonicboom, alas though, 'twas taken >.<)

EDIT: Yay it works, thanks guys :) Think I had something like it on my old comp..Meh. Didn't give it a second look when I was browsing, cause the description was confusing xD. And you were right Sonic, the browser didn't work with vista.

There is one  called Gamepe
check out www.gamepe.com works great !

Doesn't work for me, and never has.
