Post here any things you want implemented in the scripting API.

I will update this post to include all suggestions made.

  • Pointers for functions (for API Callbacks) (2 people want this)
  • Options dialogue accessable from the scripts menu
  • Version number, about dialogue, homepage address all accessable from the scripts dialogue
  • Prototype method to add functions to objects. (hard to explain, so I provided a link) (2 people want this)
  • Enumerate timers (so we can retreive/check which timers are currently running)
  • A function to see how many milliseconds there are left on a timer
  • Being able to have received messages longer than they originally are
  • Being able to format received messages
  • Aborting scripts in case of an infinate loop

Currently possible, but the method used could be improved
  • OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage to include all types of messages (i.e. file transfer, nudges)
  • Getting the font and font colour of contacts.
  • Sortable listview columns (2 people want this)
  • Making scripts to be able to actually use the TranslationId property in the Window element.
  • The e-mail of the user to be added as a param to Origin in ChatWndReceiveMessage Patchou has said this is impossible

New features

  • The ability to change a contact's name in the contact list only.
  • Changing the size and opacity of buttons
  • Update system (the ability to automatically download the new plsc file, uninstall the current version, and install the new version)
  • Being able to stop and restart scripts
  • OnEvent_EmailReceived (2 People want this)
  • Greater control over file transfers
  • OnProcessEvent_Terminate

Currently possible, but the method used could be improved
  • A function to work out contacts MSN ID's

  • The ability to add your own submenu's in the right click context menu in the contactlist (in the "msgplus extras" menu) both for contacts as for groups.

P.S. if you like an idea already suggested, say so in the thread, and i'll add a counter, so popular ideas can be seen.

When you suggest an idea, please tell me which category, and sub category to put it in.

thats not so much a feature request, so I am not adding it to the list, you can ask it in a different thread though.

Getting the font and font color of the contact you are talking to would help a lot.

I think this has been requested before, but I'm not sure if its possible.

  • A StripEmoticons function

Basically allowing emoticons to be removed from messages sent to the chat window but keeping their shortcut codes (like in the /noicon command)
;p

the messages in the scripting system already have the shortcuts instead of the emoticons in them. just add "/noicon " before the message and voila

But that adds characters to the message and the due to limitations the length of text sent to the chat window cannot exceed it's original length... Or am I missing something here?

Can you add:

Convo Window function to perform an action message sent to both users (The messages with ----------- above and below them), like in the Add-ins API.

Convo Window function to perform an action message seen only by the current user.


Don't know how possible those are, but they'd be very handy.
