RE: sounds temp
I've got a german windows, so I don't know the original english path, here is a translation, I hope it works:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Messenger Plus!\Custom Sounds

Application Data is hidden by default.

edit: seems to be right... click

RE: sounds temp
PS: the sounds have the extension .DAT but are in fact MP3 files. So all you need to do is to find the proper file, copy it and then rename it to *.MP3.

To find the proper file you can look into Messenger Plus!' Sound Library. Find the sound you want and look at its properties. There you'll see the sound ID which is also used as the filename in the directory shown by rtsfg.

No. the DAT files are specially created by Messenger Plus, and contain slightly different information to 'normal' MP3 files that help Messenger Plus! identify (and validate) it as a Custom Sound. Even if you could simply rename MP3s, there is also registry information that would need to be added too.

Bottom line: You can only create Custom Sounds from within Messenger Plus! ;)

RE: sounds temp
You can change the text that is sent by modifying the language file in 'Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Languages\Lng_<language>.ini'

Do a search for "MenuSoundCommands=" and you should see the associated messages. You will need to restart Messenger for any changes to take effect.


You can also change the text that is sent on a per-use basis by simply typing after the sound's /s command, eg:

code:
/shello Hi! :D
