* Customized colors: (background) colors for each team which can be specified by you.

Getting started:
1. Make sure you have installed Messenger Plus! Live
2. Download and install the script
3. Open the preferences window, which is located in the script menu
4. Configure the script as you want
5. Enable the script (also in the script menu)
6. Enjoy!

DOWNLOAD

Note: because the World Cup will start next friday, it's not possible to check all features now. The first matches will be shown at friday automatically.

In this thread you can give feedback or ask questions. I will try to answer as soon as possible.

Good Work!
not a football fan myself so won't be using it, but i'm sure lots of others will love it.

Looks great, I'd imagine A LOT of people will download this.
As toddy said, I'm also not a football fan as such but still really good work .

Awesome! It seems very comprehensive, hope it works out next Friday!

Been waiting for someone to update alex's idea That was the first script I used... four years ago when I joined

Great script, I'll give it a go.

After looking over your script you will want to use OnEvent_SigninReady not OnEvent_Signin. The reason for this is while OnEvent_SignIn is being called it is still in the process of downloading the contact list and (although you don't neccessarily need it) not all the objects will be populated.

And your inArray function can be made to run quicker using a reverse while loop. Ex:

Javascript code:

---

function inArray(arr, ele){
    var i = arr.length;
    while (--i) {
        if(arr[i] === ele) return true;
    }
    return false;
}

Overall way to go!

Cool script!  We've promoted it directly from www.plussports.com

Looking forward to seeing it in action once the World Cup starts.

Installed

Bring on the tournament!!

Today was the first opportunity to test with the World Cup matches and it seems to work correctly

Seems to be working flawlessly, nice job

The script looks very well made .

Though I would suggest to add the new auto-update info tags (<UpdateId> and <BuildNumber>) in the ScriptInfo.xml for your script to avoid possible future update problems. See the scripting documentation for more info, or Auto-Update for Skins & Scripts FAQ

---------------------

PS: It would be a perfect script to list on the new Plus!Sports site.
EDIT: oh, I should've read more posts before posting

though I have all the ads blocked at the moment (because of my HOSTS file). If it is in an ad: Why not adding it to a direct link somewhere in the header for example? I might not be the only one who have certain ad-sites being blocked in the HOSTS file (I'm using a rather popular hosts file which many other people also use).

Mm, it took me quite a while to find it up there as well.....but then again I'm guessing that it's the only place on the site they actually have control over, as the rest of the content comes from elsewhere

i couldnt find it yesterday either, and i was actually looking for it. i guess someone who's not would never find it

Not the best place to put it though, could use some better placing.

I released a new version of the World Cup script today. Now the team names will be displayed in the selected language (English, Dutch, German). The preferences window contains an update button to download new languages.

I'm looking for translators. Interested? Send an email to softwareATewix.nl.

You get the option of inserting the scores into your 'name' or 'personal' message, could there not be an option for 'neither'? If you just want the goal notifications, but don't want to broadcast it to your contacts?

Although a workaround would probably be to just not insert the [matches] tag into either.

Correct, I don't have the matches tag in either and I don't get the scores coming up in my name or personal message.

Indeed, that's a possible workaround. The 'neither-option' will be available in the next version of this script. Thanks for giving feedback.

Cool. You're welcome.

i use your  script, but i have a lot for you...

• pleas short-option for Country (DE=Deutschland, USA= United States, IT= Italil etg.)
  
• Give a Option to deaktivate for ALL Countrys the Collor or reset collor for every country the code =0 !!!!
