Is there a script that has auto-message responding feature when your status is set to statuses besides Away/Busy, aka BRB/Lunch/...etc, especially Online?

I've just done a quick search and there seems to be none.

If there's none I'd probably do it by myself :/

Er..no?

Well, who would use this script if I create one, anyone?

You?

You should make one to simply replace the one developed by Plus!

tbh im suprised that hasn't been done already it seems useful

It might have been made and even put into the database, but with the recent clean out it has been lost.  Personally I can't see why Mnjul even bothered looking for a script when he could have just written one up himself.  If you have it without any interfaces then it should only take a couple of minutes to write (less time than searching the database and the scripts forum properly).

I'd probably use it, yeah.

I would use it too
and lot's of people would use it, as it has been requested to Patchou to add the function a much long time ago....

Indeed. IIRC it was one of the first things asked when the  new Live version was tested and released.

Don't release it then...  Otherwise Patchou can say "Use that fantastique script from Mnjul instead" when we request to add those other statusses again like it was in Plus! 3.

(although I think a script wouldn't be able to totally replace it or blend in with the existing away-system... only "work around it")

It could easily be replaced (however the More Statuses feature couldn't be replaced easily).

You would just need to capture the default status commands and open your scripting window. You can even rip the interface from Plus! if you were really lazy like the development team of Screenshot Sender

It wouldn't really integrate as in using the 'personalised status' related features like the events for scripts, submenus in Messenger, popup on away, preferences, etc... It isn't just about detecting commands and overriding them with your own pref windows You can work around many of them (not all), but they would still be work arounds.


Hence, bump, Patchou: please add this in next version
