Dynamic Display Pics by levinet on 11-22-2003 at 12:20 PM

Well, how about some dynamic display images?? Im looking for either a MSN plugin or a stand alone program that would be capeable of creating synamic images with custom fonts and stuff...

So i can put info like my IP addresss, the contents of some txt files maybe? I really wnaa put in graphical displays of my ICQ/MSN status etc.

So if anybody likes the idea and wants to make it, knows of one.. or a standalone program then TELL TELL TELL!!!! :D

u can use msgplus quick textsfor the dp to change :). for example, make a quicktext with this:
/pic bored
#9#/pic bored2
#9#/pic bored3
... ;)

question: what does the "#9#" do?


RE: Dynamic Display Pics by bach_m on 11-22-2003 at 09:00 PM

i think its a delay in seconds.


RE: Dynamic Display Pics by slang123 on 11-22-2003 at 09:09 PM

Sweet, is there anyway to loop it back to the start?


RE: Dynamic Display Pics by levinet on 11-23-2003 at 02:01 AM

But what about somthing that actually creates a image, with the dynamic info/pictures in it (like bach_m's signature, but locally generated) and then have it update every minute or so...???

That way we could put stuff like CPU usage, etc into our display pics.

yes, you can. set an alias for quicktext1 (for example /quick1), then do this:
quote:
/pic bored
#9#/pic bored2
#9#/pic bored3
#9#/pic bored4
#9#/quick1

i started a plugin which did this a while back, but i cant be bothered with it anymore, so if anyone wants the VB source code, then let me know and you can finish it off.

i want it :P


RE: Dynamic Display Pics by bach_m on 11-23-2003 at 02:43 PM

but it seems annoying, cuz MSN has to DL your DP every time u change it, so its kinda a waste of bandwidth.
