New Message Audio Alert Script by kvnhmmd on 11-13-2006 at 04:48 AM
Hey, that looks familiar
Actually, if you look, i did mention that, thanks for the help with that script
Lol, my bad.
it works great and i really needed sumthin like this good job
Could you make it for individual sends via thier email address?
I'll look into that, but I'm not that much of a scripter.
I notice this portion of the script:
it does not work usually if you use a chat-only name. so if you use Messenger Discovery Live, or Stuff Plug to make your name different in conversation windows than in your contact list, that would be why, cause the script is looking for your name that appears on your contact list. when it sees a different name show up, it will make the sound. there might be a fix to this, i will have to look it up in the scripting documentation and get back to you
I don't use either of those. The name as it shows in a conversation window is the same as I entered in Messenger's "My Display Name" in Personal options.
well, come to find out, it does not work for one of my friends also, and she does use a regular name, no special characters in it or anything, so it is really weird, it does work for other people though, and me, so i will have to think about this one, thanks for bringing this up
If you want to send me a debug version of the script that displays the two variables being compared in the IF statement, I'd be happy to run it and report back.
i found a fix to this problem, and will release version 2 of my script in a few days possibly. Hopefully it will have no problems.
hi im having trouble with the echo wen the messege box is hidden, ive put a sound in there that i want, which works, but at the beggining of it it will play the old sound then the sound which i have put in there
did you go into the regular windows live messenger options and then go to "alerts and sounds" and uncheck "new message"?
I cannot get this script to work either. I am running Windows Live Messenger Version 2008 (Build 8.55.1302.1018). I have this same script running on other computers in the house.
im sorry man, but i dont do scripts anymore, and no i haven't got around to making a new version, other things came up : (
New version by me attached below. No need to disable New Message Alert anymore. Nothing new though, unless I decide to expand it.
I've started to rewrite it with a config window. Everything is almost finished, just a few errors that need fixing.
Improvements:
How would you actualy detect if a full screen program is running though?
hi...
If anybody is interested, this script makes an audio alert every time a message is recieved, even if the window is in focus. It helps if you are the person that is back and forth from the computer, and would like to know if the person you are talking to has said something.
Make sure you go into the Windows Live Messenger options, then go to the Alerts and Sounds tab and disable the New Message Alert or you will here an echo when you recieve a message when a window is not in focus.
If you want to change the sound you hear when you recieve a message, go to the "C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\New Message Alert" directory, and replace the "new_message.mp3" sound file with a different MP3 sound file. Make sure you keep the file name the same (new_message)
Special thanks to BigBob85 for helping me fix a bug in the script

Works good, you forgot to tell people do disable sounds from within messenger, so they don't get double sounds.

//Makes sure the message isnt from you.
if (Origin != Messenger.MyName){
However it's not working for me -- the sound plays even when I send a message.
(I'm a software developer but am not up on MsgPlus scripting so I don't know how to query the values of Origin and MyName.)
Any idea why it would not be working as written?

Does that help either clarify or muddle things?

RE: New Message Audio Alert Script by kvnhmmd on 03-20-2007 at 10:28 PM
what to look for in the next versions:
* /command to turn on/off the script
* A menu to allow you to easily change the sound that the script makes
* an option to have different sounds for different contacts
its going to be hard, but it can be done
NEED HELP!!! by mark7007 on 05-08-2007 at 02:21 PM
can you help!!!
RE: New Message Audio Alert Script by kvnhmmd on 05-08-2007 at 03:29 PM
about the update i was talking about above, sorry about that, i've been a little busy with other things
RE: New Message Audio Alert Script by Nitro40 on 12-12-2007 at 11:37 PM
I really like it making sounds when the window has focus, as I can walk away and still know when someone sends a message.
You talked about a new version (about a year ago). Just wondering if the new version is ready?
Thanks,
RE: New Message Audio Alert Script by kvnhmmd on 12-13-2007 at 07:42 PM

This can easly be fixed in the script so the user doesn't need to disable/enable the options in Messenger at all...

Simply check:
1) Get the name of the default sound used in messenger to notify new messages. (aka: registry check).
Note: if you add an option panel to change the sound, it is not a bad idea to still do this check and let the user choose between two radio buttons, one with the default sound, and one with a textbox and browse button to select his own sound.
2) Check if sounds are enabled in Messenger (again a registry check). If so check if the chat window which recieved the message is in focus or not. If it is not in focus, play the sound found in step 1, if it is in focus, do nothing (messenger will make a sound).
3) If the sounds are disabled in Messenger, play the sound even when the chat window was not in focus.
PS: don't forget about:
1) To check the option in Messenger to not give notifications when there is a full screen application.
2) To check the option in Messenger Plus! to not play sounds when you're status is busy.
3) To check the option in Messenger Plus! to not play sounds when you have a media personal message
4) Not play anything at all if Messenger is locked.
(or at least have options for all this - which should all be on by default = no sounds when: locked, "full screen app" option is checked, "busy" option is unchecked or "media" option is checked).
