I want to make a script for msgplus! but I want to know if there is an IDE for developments?

Yes, there is the Script Editor.

1. Open your contact list.
   
2. Click the Messenger Plus! icon.
   
3. In the appearing menu, click "Preferences & Options".
   
4. On the left side, click "Scripts".
   
5. Hit the button "Create new...", and enter a name for your script.
   
6. The Script Editor will then open automatically.
   
7. Don't overlook its menu on the top-right edge.

but there isn't a gui , is there something similar as visual studio ide?

but not an IDE per se

I'm in the process of creating one, all features are fished apart from the interface editor, i'm just waiting on patchou replying to an email which he doesn't seem to want to do these days



*Note code folding has been added to the text editor

It's normal that Patchou does not reply instantly these days.  There is a lot of stuff in the tubes, but once that is public, he will have a bit of time before going on with the next big project

I'll release a small preview in a day or 2, I'll draw up a help file because there's a few minor things you may not understand in it. (release will not have the interface designer).  just to let you guys try and find bugs with what's there i suppose. I'll post a file for language translations

you spelled 'script' wrong in the about window

Programs should be self-explaining?

• Add intellisense
  
• Only show the ScriptInfo.xml window when its selected.
  
• Add the ability to create a PLSC from the project
  
• For any XML files have a tree view that shows the Windows Name so you can easily access a specific Window within an XML
  
• Support for subfolders in a script? (1)

I am quite intrigued! Would love to test this out.

Just a few suggestions:

• Add intellisense
  
• Only show the ScriptInfo.xml window when its selected.
  
• Add the ability to create a PLSC from the project
  
• For any XML files have a tree view that shows the Windows Name so you can easily access a specific Window within an XML
  
• Support for subfolders in a script? (1)

All in all this looks amazing so far way to go!

Looks good. I saw the names under the XML but wondered why the About.xml had nothing etc.

I am quite excited for when you release it, even if it doesn't have the interface part.

Once recommendation is to add a "Save and Restart". Plus! doesn't restart scripts if you make a change to any js file not in the root. If this is something that interests you let me know I have the code for it.

About.xml has bad xml in it so it didn't parse it's 100% strict to the schema for plus so it must comply by those rules (namespaces etc can be the main problem).

Yeah i'd like to know how to restart the script watching for file changes is easy enough
