Status Change When Application Loads? by DJ_The_SP on 05-25-2005 at 10:40 AM

Hey guys,

I was wondering if Messenger Plus (or a plugin for it)

had the ability of changing a persons status and set an automessage or name tag when a certain application loads.

(For example i want my status to change as soon as i join a game so ppl wont bother me).

And if possible even return the status to normal when i close the application.


Is this possible?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

Hi,

I dont think this will be created because alot of people would want alot of applications added to the list. It could be created so that a user could add a process to the list manually and then the plug-in check if that process is running or not, but it would be for advanced users only.

Im not sure, maybe someone will create it but it doesnt have too much purpose.

well it could be easily created to allow users to add their own programs to the list and could come pre-insatlled with a list of common games/programs which the user could remove if they didnt have them

Its actually easy to do...

But, I might not be able to develop it at this time because of exams... :(

Maybe, after the exams are over.... :-/

Wow, would be cool if someone would create the plugin for this.

I figured it shouldnt be that hard to make a list that checks for an application running and then changes the status.

Thing is i cant code :P (except PASCAL and VB :P )

You can make plugins in VB if you wish.
Check out http://www.msgplus.net/help_plugins.php to get the plugin API (includes sample source for a VB plugin)

Hi,

ok im currently in the making of this plugin. Does anyone have any ideas of a name for it? would be really helpful (Y)


Kind Regards,
XM4ST3RX


Hi,

The plug-in is well under way and i have decided on a name so far, if you think you may have a better name, please dont hesitate to contribute here, thanks.

p.s. current name: (*)Apptify(*) (notifies contacts regarding applications that are running) :D :P

Heh... (lets see what my dirstorted mind comes up with @ 01:30am).

- Appstatus
- Appstat
- STCU (Swift Status Chaning Util :P )
- GameAway ( cause it sets you away when ingame)
- Autostat
- Autoa App Stat

Heh, just a few things that came to mind..... :P


RE: Status Change When Application Loads? by SikStyles on 05-26-2005 at 11:40 PM

hehe this wud make a great plugin
maybe if its possible let users make up their own reasons
like if the plugin detects an game is being run and the users has set like "playing this" as a status it will active that status

Sweet! :D

If it would be integrated in a new version of MSGPlus then that would be even cooler. :P
RE: Status Change When Application Loads? by CookieRevised on 07-05-2005 at 05:17 PM

Something like this is already available. But it works for the personalised message in MSN Messenger 7 only.
See the news of June 29th on mess.be and look for "MSN Messenger application monitor"...


RE: Status Change When Application Loads? by DJ_The_SP on 07-16-2005 at 11:56 PM

Ok....

But it would be even better if it got integrated with MSGPlus.

Please do this Patchou. (A) :P
