Hey,

Cookie i like your HolidayCounter more than all other counters, because in Countdown Live when i want that the counter show me just hours its only showin me how many hours left "interday" so e.g.

It's now: 30. Dezember 2006 - 20:00:00
And i say to the counter:"Hey show me how many hours to new year...
So i set of course 31.Dezember 2006 - 00:00:00...
Now Countdown Live show me: "Only 4 hours remain..." Thats wrong buggy....
But ur countdown do the right and say:"28 h remain..."

So but only one thing for HolidayCounter.... After I restart my machine, and so restart messenger, ive to disable and reenable the script... it doesnt work for me after rebooting...

Cookie if this is what happens then it is wrong, 00:00:00 is the begining of the day.  This means in that example it really needs to show 4 hours and not 28 hours.  Many people have probems with this when programming anything (not many people enjoy using 24 hour time).

It does not do that.... Biller's example is wrong and it of course will also show "4 hours left".

What Biller probably means is Holiday Counter shows the total amount of time units (like any counter should do IMO), not only just the time units you have selected:

eg: if you have 5 days and 3 hours to go until an event, and you have only selected hours to be shown, all other counters will show "3 hours left" (which is obviously wrong). Holiday Counter will show "123 hours left" (which is correct).

doesn't have anything todo with 24 or 12-hour systems. (in a 12-hour system 00:00 doesn't even exist). When you programmatically calculate time you always use a 24-hour system.

correct... was a stupid, but big, bug. It was a leftover from a test version of the script. I'll release the update, which includes the fix, soonish...

in the mean time you can easly fix it yourself:
1) open the script in the scripteditor
2) navigate to line 81 ("var oPlugin = new ActiveXObject(sPluginName);") and remove it;
3) change line 66 from "var oPlugin = Object;" to "var oPlugin = new ActiveXObject(sPluginName);"
4) Save it

EDIT: script updated, see "Update: HolidayCounter v3.00.064 - Live (script version 1.1)"

Haha, yeah okay mates, I guess my example kills you, hehe... Okay but the meaning was clear...

thats exactly what a mean... and i think its a must for every counter...

Okay thank you cookie for the changes....now it works everytime...

Btw. hehe... Could you make "new" Countdown Script like Countdown Live just because with your code because i like your code style more than the others... But a new GUI would be cool...

ahh anyway i know no one has time especially TB

indeed,  mostly lack of time.

The reason why you see the GUI as a common Windows window is because this script is actually a Plus!3 plugin (it can be used both in Plus!3 as in Plus! Live!!!). Hence why it doesn't use the GUI style of Plus! Live.

If I would change the GUI to the new style, I should make this plugin totally as a script and will probably end up with the same GUI as Countdown Live.

That is also a reason why I instead encourage Matikke, author of Countdown Live, to implement the stuff used in Holiday Counter (eg: this show-proper-amount-of-units thing, weeks, months, years time tags, different ways of calculating time, etc).

He also based many (if not all) of his features and UI on Holiday Counter anyways and his script is more promising than others (IMHO). All that and the lack of time, keeps me from making this as a script only.

i'm having trouble with this script and the latest version of msgplus ever since i updated msg plus the counter doesn't work.
it starts and opens and counts but won't add it's self to the end of my name

If it starts, opens and counts it means everything from the actual code is fine. The name changing is done using a broadcasted message (the plugin actually doesn't change the name itself, it gives command to Plus! to do it). However, this works find here with the latest version of Messenger Plus! Live (and Plus! 3 btw).

Please give all the needed information:
What version of Plus! are you using (complete version = including build number)?
What is the language you've set in Plus!?
What is the complete version number of Messenger you're using?
And what is the complete version of the Holiday Counter script/plugin you're using (as there is more than one version provided in this thread)?
Also provide all the settings you have in the Holiday Counter?

msg plus version:4.01.0.240
language:english
wlm version:8.0.0812.00
script version: 3.00.0064
settings:
             show in display name=true

(!XHCOUNT) tag= past false
                             future=true
