Very nice CookieRevised! :D

Can I ask if this AddressLocation is in msmsgr.exe or someother?
Because in my msmsgr.exe the last addresss was only upto 00562920.

That has nothing todo with it (well... it has something to do with it but not like that).

Nothing is patched on disc (it wouldn't be possible to work when you need to patch something on disc as that is only read when you start up, making it into a script rather useless), the patching happens in memory.

The memory addresses are completely different (but related) than what you see on disc.

Is it possible to move the "Idle" from the Plus! menu to the "clickable" status or the Plus! more statuses menu (on contact list)???
No, that requires API callbacks.

No, they will see Away. This question/issue is years and years old (more than 5 years at least) and has been handled multiple times on forums already.

That's exactly what we are after. Without Plus! users wouldn't konw if we are Away/Idle anyways.

Messenger has always had the 'Idle' status (as long as Messenger had the option to set your status to 'away' when you don't use the PC for a while), only it is also named "Away" in its resources. What Plus!, A-Patch, MessPatch, and almost every other single patch that exists or has exited does is replacing that "Away" word with "Idle". Tutorials have been written to do this resource editing yourself on many places and forums... It was probably one of the very first patches that got public/available on the forums in history of Messenger, it is that widely known  :p

Well, there is a dodgy way, but that requires the removal of one other status. So, the idle status will actually overwrite that other status, everywhere, and any contact who is 'that other status' will be shown to you as 'idle' too. In other words, this is not good in practice.

The closest you can get to adding it to those menus is by triggering the change to idle when you actually change the status to an existing one (your contacts will therefore also see two status changes btw). And this triggering will of course happen too whenever something changes your status to that 'trigger' status, including other scripts for example.

To avoid that you could also make a special personalised status which will actually trigger on its turn the setting of the idle status (but your contacts (and your scripts ofcourse) will still see two status changes).

But all these things are just very dodgy workarounds which all have major drawbacks in practice, etc (I just point them out now to avoid that people reply that it is possible to my "no"  :p).

RE: [REQUEST]Idle lies
Just one thing: My suggestion was to make a faster way to make WLM's status "Idle". So, if is too much hard (as I could see), forget it... I agree with you...
In the first sugestion you gave, I agree with you in that point and don't want a overwrited status...
In the second idea, as things are going, forget it too...
I realised that is a hard work for such a stupid change :)

Thanks again for yours reply Cookie (Y)
;)

Two consecutive changes...

Changing the 17th line of Cookie's script from
code:
var AddressList = [0x493AD4, 0x5DCE94];
to
code:
var AddressList = [0x493AD4, 0x5DCE94, 0x4A13EC];
(in which a new address is added to the array) seems to be enough for the script to run under WLM 8.1.0168 (at least for me :P)

It will always be updated shortly after a new (public) Windows Live Messenger version comes out (when I got the time).

If we figure out the AddressList value all will work as before?
Yes, the script is made in such a way that all it requires to be compatilble with future version is to add the correct address to that array.

-------------------------

updated...

enjoy ;)
