Message sound notification on active chat window by dav34 on 05-18-2005 at 02:57 PM

Hi,

I searched the forum for this, but the threads are kinda dead...
Sorry... I'm not good in programming VB and C++ or any other programming language...

It would be great if there's a sound notification when a new message is received even if the chat windows is active... (basically like ICQ... the o-ooh sound)
I think this feature would be useful...

I know MSN Discovery got this, but it only gives a lame internal PC "beep"... :dodgy:

I heard it's a standard feature in MSN 7?
Am I correct?
I'm using 6.2.0205...

It isn't a feature in MSNM7. You'll need a plugin to do this.

You could use Plus! Notification menu, to play a sound when a notification is display, and if you download a sound you want you can use that one.

Plus > Notifications

AFAIK, there isn't a plugin which does this. raceprouk wasn't reffering to a particular plugin, but saying that a plugin would be needed to do what you want.

Does anybody willing to make this plug-in?

RE: Message sound notification on active chat window by dav34 on 07-31-2005 at 04:28 PM

Anybody? PLEEEEEASE??? :'(

I actually want this too.

Anyhow can some one explain what this is for?

It doesn't play a sound when I receive a notification. Like a new message from a user.

RE: Message sound notification on active chat window by RaceProUK on 09-08-2005 at 03:26 PM

That option only relates to Plus!'s notifications. Messenger's own sounds are configured elsewhere.

As for the sound-for-active-window, I'll look into it. You may see it in a future version fo Phoenix as a result

RE: Message sound notification on active chat window by soft666 on 09-08-2005 at 03:52 PM

Yeah I think Messenger is supposed to do that, but it has few options:

I mean I don’t like hearing a sound every time someone logs in/out.

Also an option for a sound for only the first message or first few messages would be nice. I think some people would appreciate it.

Plus > Notifications

This does not apply to sounds on "message sent" (received), only notifications (online, offline, statuschange).

Soft666: You don't have to have login sounds. Click on the sounds button and scroll down to MSN Messenger and set the one for login to "none". By doing this you will still hear a sound when a message is sent but not when somebody logs in.

Edit: you're welcome Soft666

Did not know that. Thanks.
