From the Plus! Scripting Documentation:

OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage
Return Value:

A string containing the message to be displayed in the chat window instead of Message. If you do not want to modify the message, simply return Message without changing it. The new string will be parsed for possible format codes. It is important to remember that the new message cannot be longer than the original one (Message.length) and will be cut if necessary. Also, Messenger will not re-parse the message for emoticons codes.

PS: seeing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romaji and other resources, it seems not so easy to convert romaji back though, as there are several systems possible. So you'd need something which automatically reconizes the used system, etc. All in all, not an easy script to make I think.

The Javascript used on this page might be a great help... also check out the links that page points to.

ow, this might be a little more difficult than i thought.

You also have to remember that changing to kanji is probably not the best to change it into as there are at least 2 ways that every kanji can be pronounced and there are many kanji that make the same sound and hence same romaji.  The only way to do a script that you were after by any means is a romaji to hiragana or a romaji to katakana script that could translate either way.

However there is one other possibility and that is to make sure that your friend uses a hiragana/katakana/kanji to romaji converter before sending a message to you and hence being able to have the longer message.

These are just some things to think about when making the script (whoever decides to devote their time to the project).

This is easily fixed by using a function in your replace method instead

code:

---

var oString = "abcd";
var eString = oString.replace(/a|b|c|d/g,function($1){
                    switch($1){
                        case "a":
                            return "b";
                        case "b":
                            return "c";
                        case "c":
                            return "d";
                        case "d"
                            return "a";
                    }
                });
return eString;

---

This will return "bcda".
