O.P. Script does not start, or hook onto Plus! menu
Well my problem is simple really, my script does not appear to start until I edit it and refresh it in the Plus! scripting prefences. It is very odd, but I cannot pin point the problem.

code:
function OnGetScriptMenu(Location)
{
    var ScriptMenu ="<ScriptMenu>";
    ScriptMenu +="<MenuEntry Id=\"Options\">Options</MenuEntry>";
    ScriptMenu +="<Separator/>";
    ScriptMenu +="<MenuEntry Id=\"About\">About Message Enchanter</MenuEntry>";
    ScriptMenu +="</ScriptMenu>";
    return ScriptMenu;
}

Now I am not sure, but it could be something else effecting the hooking, maybe the script failed to start for example, is there soemething I have totally missed to help the script load better? Thanks :).

Well, sometimes, (it happened to me) if a file is huge, it won't load at all. It'll just.. stop, and reload only sometimes.. try splitting some files, if you can.

Other than that, it looks OK..

I see, well the script is only 129 lines so I don't think it is a problem. Btw, this happens everytime, not just random :P.

Hmm. Something is dead, but I can't pinpoint it... Maybe the .xml (if you're loading one) might be corrupt (IE: not unicode, etc)...

Yes, this problem happens with myself also. My 'OnGetScriptCommands()' returns perfect syntax but fails to show the new command in the commands menu. It only happens with my scripts (even blank scripts) for some reason, and i have had problems with 'OnGetScriptMenu(Location)' also. I tried sticking the following at the beginning of one of my scripts;
code:
function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart)
{
}

function OnEvent_Uninitialize(MessengerExit)
{
}
and it fixed the main plus menu, but not the commands menu (which appears when typing '/'). Note: This only worked with one of my scripts...

O.P. RE: Script does not start, or hook onto Plus! menu
Nope, that did not work for me :(. This never used to happen, I have a feeling some of my other code is effecting it:

code:
//This script was created by absorbation. You may not use any of this code in your work without full permission from me.
//This script was created for free to help you gain a better messenger experience.  I therefore accept no responsiblity for what may happen to your computer, although it is very unlikly to do anything accept change Windows Live Messenger's messages.
//Thanks for using my script and I hope you enjoy it.

var Email = Messenger.MyEmail;
var ScriptName = "Message Enchanter";

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
var CommandIs = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell').RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + Email + "\\command");

if(Message.substring(0,1) != "/") {

    if(CommandIs == "None") {
    return Message;
    }
   
    if(CommandIs == "Bold") {
    return Message.replace(Message, "" + Message + "");
    }
   
    if(CommandIs == "Underline") {
    return Message.replace(Message, "" + Message + "");
    }
   
    if(CommandIs == "Strike") {
    return Message.replace(Message, "" + Message + "");
    }
   
    if(CommandIs == "Caps") {
    return Message.replace(Message, Message.toUpperCase());
    }
   
    if(CommandIs == "CapsAndDots") {
    return Message.replace(Message, Message.substr(0,1).toUpperCase() + Message.substr(1) + '.');
    }
       
    if(CommandIs == "MeCommand") {
    return "/me says: " + Message;
    }
   
    if(CommandIs == "NoIcon") {
    return "/noicon " + Message;
    }
   
    if(CommandIs == "NoFormat") {
    return "/noformat " + Message;
    }
}
}

function OnGetScriptMenu(Location)
{
    var ScriptMenu ="<ScriptMenu>";
    ScriptMenu +="<MenuEntry Id=\"Options\">Options</MenuEntry>";
    ScriptMenu +="<Separator/>";
    ScriptMenu +="<MenuEntry Id=\"About\">About " + ScriptName + "</MenuEntry>";
    ScriptMenu +="</ScriptMenu>";
    return ScriptMenu;
}

function OnEvent_MenuClicked(MenuId)
{
    if(MenuId=="Options"){
        var CommandIs = 'None';
        var CommandIs = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell').RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + Email + "\\command");
       
        var Wnd = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Windows.xml", "Options");
        Wnd.Button_SetCheckState(CommandIs,"True");
    }
   
    if(MenuId=="About"){
        var Wnd = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Windows.xml", "About");
    }
}

function OnOptionsEvent_CtrlClicked(Wnd, ControlId)
{
    if(ControlId == "BtnClose") {
        MsgPlus.DisplayToast(ScriptName, "Your settings have been saved and your option has been enabled.");
        Wnd.Close(1);
    }
   
    if(ControlId == "None") {
        var CommandIs = "None";
        new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell').RegWrite(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + Email + "\\command",CommandIs);
    }
   
    if(ControlId == "Bold") {

Maybe try changing some global variable names.
code:
var Email = Messenger.MyEmail;
var ScriptName = "Message Enchanter";
Once it wouldn't load the script until I changed the names :S

Also, make sure messenger is signed in when you set Email to Messenger.MyEmail:^)...but not sure

why not just put the menu and commands in ScriptInfo.xml?
