RE: [REQ] Name Remote
My guess would be that Messenger.MyName doesn't like to be set null when a normal message is received. The regular expression could use some improvement as well. (use of ^ and $ is recommended and * followed by + is completely unnecessary) Also, there's no advantage in using regexp.exec() in this case, so I decided to go with string.match() since it's more common - but that's just a matter of taste. :P
Javascript code:
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage ( oChatWnd , sOrigin , sMessage , nMessageKind ) {
    var match = false;
    if( match = sMessage.match( /^!name (.+)$/ ) ) {
        Messenger.MyName = match[1];
    }
}

Tested and confirmed to work.

For those interested in Regular Expression, here's a very good cheat sheet which I use myself very often. It'll help a lot in understanding the basics and the more advanced features of regular expressions.
