Hi all

I saw a couple of threads requesting this, and being a fan of both the Monkey Island games and Messenger Plus!, I couldn't resist trying to make a script to recreate the /insult easter egg from previous MsgPlus! versions.

Anyway, as it is now, typing /insult in a chat window will initiate a word duel with that contact, by sending them a random insult.

When an insult is recieved, a screen will pop up showing the insult with a list of 4 possible responses. Selecting the correct response will send the response, along with a new randomly selected insult to your contact.

If the user clicks on "I'm a coward!", the duel is automatically ended. Running out of time and selecting the wrong answer will also end the duel.

But finally, The script is "backwards compatible" with earlier versions of MsgPlus! - meaning you can use the script to duel with contacts using older MsgPlus! versions! Contacts using MsgPlus! Live will also need the script installed in order to be able to duel.

---

Being my first real script (as I'm new to Jscript), the code is very untidy and there are still bugs to sort out, so it wont be released for at least a couple of days while I find time to get that sorted.

As for Msg Plus! Live, im assuming the script will be needed to duel with someone correct?

Yes, if the contact has MsgPlus! Live, they will also need the script. (Maybe should have made that more clear in my original post *updates*)

I loved Monkey Island too, could be something great. If french translator needed, i'm here !

(not only for this script, i can easily and quite nicely translate from english language to french ).

Cough cough....
Have you stopped working on this script?

script sounds good, are we going to see a release soon?

I haven't forgotten about this script, but in all honestly major personal  issues IRL pretty much stopped me being able to work on this.

As it is now, it's in a working state, but the code still seriously needs a tidy up as well as a bit more testing.

I've started work on it again, but there are still personal issues so I can't promise a release date.

Here's a screenshot of how it looks now:
