Hi
I'd like to change my 2.Nickname every Minute (Second were better...)
I'd like to do a Countdown in my Name...
Is that possible to change the name so often & fast?

I know how to make a DateDiff, but how can I change my 2. Nickname without let it type in automatical (like /vbchangename or so...)

I hope someone can help me...

Thank you very much!

======================
I'm programming with VB6

Go check out this thread.

Counter in Nickname By CyBeRDuDe ... If you want to use it.... If not and you want to create your own.. please write again, and we will try to help you... ...
What do you mean by 2. Nickname?... The Personal Message?... A counter for this haven't been created yet,  but it will probably be soon... ...
If you mean the normal ordinary nickname, then the maximum change is 10 times per minute, that means you can change it 10 times during 10 seconds but then you have to wait 50 seconds before you can change again, or you can keep a constant change each 6th seconds, or even at 10 seconds which is most recomended if you want so low numbers... 1 minute or above is recommended in generally since lower numbers and frequent use of nickchaning is infact annoying to your other contacts, but this is another side of the story... ...

Hm... yes, I would like to hove it in my personal message...
The Nickname-counter doesn't help me...

I need a VB6 Code, for changing my Nickname automaticly...
And I cannot open the Nicknamecounter DLL!

Does anybody knows a easy Source?

thank you

Matty's reply to How to start off a plugin and how to make it simply change your name

Thank you! I will have a look at it tomorrow.

Edit: Thank you! Now I can change my nickname...

My Problem now is to change it every Minute?
I know to use a Timer... but how can I do this without a Timer?


Thank you again

Matty's reply to Showing Form without vbModal in VB? For the programmers out there...

Matty:
You don't need to use the ShowWindow Api... .. To "advanced"...

tobiaz:
All you need to do is put a timer on the form, set the interval or whatever...
In the plugin Initialize funtion, you just

code:

---

Load Form1

---

code:

---

Form1.Timer1.Enabled = True

---

Oh... thank you very much for helping!
I will try it jet...

Greeeeeez Tobiaz

Everytime I write something in the "inizalize function" my Messenger doesn't start right! He stops before he's loading the Contact List.
It doesn't load it, and nothing moves...

I only writed:

code:

---

Load Form1
Form1.Timer1.Enalbed = True

---

Don't use

code:

---

Load Form1
Form1.Timer1.Enabled = True

---

code:

---

ShowWindow Form1.hWnd, SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE

---

Thank you. I will look at it later. I don't have time jet.

Thank you very much for helping agin!

greeeeeez

Edit: Thank you very, very, very much! It works great!
And also thanks to all the others who helped me!

THANK YOU

Have a nice day...

Hi, it's me again...
My Plug-in works now perfekt. But I have another problem.
If i will change my Nickname, there appears a MsgBox -> "Cannot change you Nickname, try again later" (In my Messenger it's on German... I transalted it by myself, thats because it's a little bit wrong, i think )

Maybe I changed my nickname too often? Is that possible?
What can I do...?

Thank you

greeeeeez

Yes.. That is probably because you change your nickname to often.. As I mentioned before you can only change your nickname 10 times per minute.. If you try to change your name frequentlier than this you will get this message... Sometimes though you might experience that the messenger server and your timer doesn't count the exact same.. Therefor changing your nickname every 6th seconds (which is 10 times per minute) you might sometimes experince that you can't change your nick name the 10th time per minute, and you will also get this message.. IF you want to stay in as low seconds as possible you should probably change each 7th seconds instead...
Though sometimes it happens that there might be a litle lag on the server or on your connetion, when this happens you are not able to change your nickname... This might happen once in a while, if you are on a slow connection or the likes...
Hope this helped you?

Yes... Now I know where the problem is. But I changed my nickname only each 12 Seconds...
But probably i restarted MSN to often, and so it changed it more then 10 times / min...

But, how can I change my nickname now?
Will he be unlocked after 1h or 2h?

@CyBeRDuDe: Thank you verymuch for helping...
EDIT: Thank you, now I can change my nickname...

Sometimes msn is messing a bit with the servers, so you might try again later with the same code....
