O.P. Grin  sign in sounds
here is an idea that i have had for a while that could be quite useful.  instead of the msn sound when someone signs in make it to where msn actually says that persons screen name or their name.  i have already recorded ms sam saying them and saved it and then put them under the custom sounds but since then my computer has had windows reinstalled on it and it takes too long.  it would be good for people who are playing games so they can hear who has signed on instead of minimizing the game.  thanks if it is possible.

Yeeeess... nice idea. You mean, everytime someone signs in, you can hear SAM say: La-Le-Lu-Le-Lo has signed in

Thats really a great idea... (Y)

wouldnt you be able to do this by RIGHT CLICKING the contact>messenger plus! extras>sound events>sign in sound and then add your recorded MS SAM name?

Ya you  would still have to prerecord them even with a plugin..cause there would be no way in the world to have that all the name options availiable..

This can be done using Microsofts Active Accessibility. It would however sound terrible using Microsofts Text to Speach engine.

RE: sign in sounds
Well.. Posted this yesterday.. It apparently went into the wrong thread.. Dont' ask me how! :P...
Well.. here it is:

If you know HOW to do this in VB you can do it with 3-4 lines of code.. :P...
It's very simple infact... I might be able to get some time tomorrow to spit out some code for you...
All you need it is Microsoft's TTS (Text-To-Speech) engine, use the component in there... Call it by using a command like TTS1.Speak "BLah"...
Declare the With Event objMSN as Messenger.MessengerApi (and of course set the reference to the API)..
In the initilize of the plugin set the objMSN = oMessenger...
Use the event OnContactStatusChange or something... When a contacts logs in (changes his status from offline - online/any other status), use the TTS1.Speak contact.friendlyname code... That should kinda do the trick..
Remember this is only explanation, I don't remember all the correct codes, and don't have time to find them for you right now... Though this of course needs the TTS engine installed on the computer.. But most (if not all) xp's have this... So.. Shouldn't be much of a problem... Hope anyone can use this information... If I need to be more specific, then write, and I'll try to explain it a litle better for however wants to do this...

Hi.
I wrote a simple Text-to-speech exe a long time ago. So, this is really ot the problem to do this. The problem i would have is, that I don't know, how to get the contacts friendly name... But you described a little bit in the post, so I will try to find it out :P
