O.P. Psychic plugin
hi,
Is there a Gaim-style "psychic mode" plugin around? It sorta lets you know when someone is about to start a chat with you. When the other side opens a chat window with you, one will immediately pop up on your side automatically before the other side says anything.
thanks!

RE: Psychic plugin
there is no relyable way for you to be able to know when somebody opens a conversation, other plug ins claim they work, but to put it simply, they don't

Hm.. what plugins are those?
I've seen it work on GAIM. I haven't used it extensively though, so I couldn't say if it worked each and every time.

RE: Psychic plugin
they dont work.... they are not reliable, as they can be triggered by many many other things.. they are usless

RE: Psychic plugin
Yes, these are triggered on GAIM whenever you're sent the "RNG" command, iirc (been away from the protocol for too long to be sure).
Anyway, since MSN 7 and contact cards came about, anytime someone views your contact card it appears to you that they've opened a conversation.

And that is just why the open and close window notifiers are so unreliable.

RE: Psychic plugin
It actually works on Gaim very well. I use Gaim and everytime a contact opens a chat window. A window pops up on your own end with something like "I feel a disturbance in the force...". It'll be cool to have it on msn messenger too.

RE: Psychic plugin
Gaim has this feature, and it's well implemented, but it doesn't work.
Gaim will tell the user that a conversation window with them has been opened/closed by their contact, but because of the way Messenger works, Gaim lies.
There is no state kept of whether a conversation window is open or not, thus it's not possible to detect.
