Contact-specific automessages by scumm on 10-29-2008 at 02:39 AM
Before I say anything..
"Welcome back, scumm. You last visited: 07-16-2007, 01:26 PM", haha
ANYWAY,
Is it possible to make a script that will allow me to assign different messages to different contacts? It'd go a little something like this..
window no.1
quote:
Mary says: hey, what happened last night??
Mary says: you said you were gonna call me
Your auto-message: sorry mary! my brother was in a car accident
Mary says:
window no.2
quote:
John says: hey dude
Your auto-message: talk to you later man, still hungover from the party
John says: lmao
See how useful this could be?
I did a short search of the forum, but couldn't quite find what I was looking for.
So, anyone?

Hmm, this is actually a very good suggestion. Although, it's not possible for a script to change what should be sent as auto-message when a personalised status is triggered.
Nonetheless, this is certainly something that could have its use. I'd say that this should be implemented in Plus! Live itself in some way. I'll leave a suggestion on the Beta Testing forums and redirect them to this topic to see what the others think.

or
just don't use the auto message function and just replicate one

The script would have to handle the response anyway as it is contact-specific (and he was looking for a script so I don;t think he minds having to enter the data again).
If you want to get a list of the personal statuses, then I suggest using Matty's registry 'library' and iterating through the keys in "HKCU\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\<email_address>\PersonalStatus". There is also a ResponderMessage value that you could detect sending in the script, and if there is a response for that specific contact then you could stop the message from being sent.

@markee: Hmm, well that's indeed a way to prevent the auto-message from being sent, but a message sent by a script can't make those nice blue italic auto-messages which Plus! displays in a chat window. Or is that just a special code parsed by Plus! on the client-side like the sounds (e.g. /sapplause)? If it's just a code, I think I'll give this a shot.

It is actually a really intuitive code that you wouldn't normally notice. Just put "AutoMessage: " (without quotes) at the begging of the message and then you get the nice looking message with MP!L.
