Grin  RE: Need help, Set status to Idle (NOT away)
Hi everybody ! :D

I'm really happy 'cause I found a way to set status to "Idle" !
Yes, yes, believe me !

It will not be a script, but just a little patch who will replace "Be right back", or another default status to "Idle". I'm going to make the patch, it will take 1 or 2 hours... (Thanks to my Basic knowledge :) )

Is somebody interested ?

People PLEASE read threads and posts before posting!

This is exactly the reason why people complain threads get too long to read thru. Start by yourself and read posts before asking stuff which is already explained before...

Ok, I'm going to make the patch... but... it will be only available for WLM 8.0.812.00, because I can test only with this version.... And the patch will be in french, of course !

If I am right in thinking what you're going todo then I must say that it will not work! All it will do is show the text idle in your messenger. You actually will still be xxxx (whatever status you've used to replace) and the contacts will still see that original status.

Again, the only way to set your status to idle on demand is to handle it directly using the protocol as explained here.


EDIT: PS: and testing this using polygamy is not correct since both messengers will be patched.

Note : I can move the mouse, do everything I want... status is still "Idle"

If it doesn't set your status to idle after x minutes you either:
1) did not activated it properly in the Messenger preferences
2) moved your mouse or pressed your keyboard. Thus you aren't in idle mode anymore and thus MEssenger will set your status to online again.

It is activated and i don't move the mouose or press anything..
I want to set Idle not because I want to tell lies, I want it because my Messenger doesn't do this anymore..

It works perfectly here.

Tools > Options > Personal > Show me as away when I'm inactive for x minutes.

Have you some stuff which is preventing your messenger to go to idle? (other scripts? other addons? etc)

No, I haven't. It didn't work with Messenger 7.5 too. I asked MSN and Mircosoft for help but they don't know anything... So I wanted to make a script that sets my status to idle after x minutes..
