RE: [Release] OldPlugins 0.8
At first sight there are things which aren't done correctly in this script regarding plugins though.

----------

Also the parsing of commands isn't entirly correct. The parsing of tags is also not done like in Plus! 3.

----------

Plugins were/are user specific, this isn't so in your script, hence handling isn't done properly. Also the time when they load/unload isn't correct (it is different then with scripts which are always loaded, even if the user hasn't sign in yet), etc.

----------

from the script DB:
- Changing the display name through the script
- Adding data to the event log
- Displaying popup notifications

^^ these things are done within the plugins themselfs by broadcasting a message. I suspect you mean by this that your dll catch these broadcasts? In that case they will probably be processed twice since Plus!Live also still support these.

----------

It also doesn't load any of the plugins I have in Plus! 3.

----------

Script is starting
Script is now loaded and ready
Function called: OnEvent_Initialize
Interop.Call failed to load "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\Plus! Live\Scripts\OldPlugins\OldPlugins.dll"
Interop.Call failed to load "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\Plus! Live\Scripts\OldPlugins\OldPlugins.dll"
Error: unknown.
       Line: 488. Code: -2147467259.
Function OnEvent_Initialize returned an error. Code: -2147352567
Function called: OnEvent_Uninitialize
Interop.Call failed to load "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\Plus! Live\Scripts\OldPlugins\OldPlugins.dll"
Error: unknown.
       Line: 56. Code: -2147467259.
Function OnEvent_Uninitialize returned an error. Code: -2147352567
etc...

----------

Other than this, the code itself is messy and things aren't always done in the cleanest way (eg: some routines which are very slow and long, which can be made way shorter and faster... the registry APIs which aren't used as one should... etc...)

----------

Sorry to write such a negative post about it :(:$ (which you surely didn't expected) but it is buggy as hell and a lot of things aren't done properly or not properly researched maybe (eg: how commands and tags were exactly handled in Plus!3 and what possebilities you had with them, what they could/couldn't contain as far as characters go, etc).

a lot of stuff need to be fixed...
