AvatarAutoChange plugin 2.0 beta

[Sethnakht]

Hello,

I've made a new plugin : AvatarAutoChange

http://www.savefile.com/files/1322192

The goal if to change to display image (Avatar) when the status change (manually or automatically) to set a more accurate DP for your contacts .

(It's functional, but could be, of course, improved. first of all the config window.)

I would know if it's possible to add new Post Events:
 - MyDisplayPictureChange : to notify the modification of the DP (in gui.tcl, proc pictureBrowser)
 - BeforeChangeMyState : to notify plugins of the imminent state change (to let plugin save old state, change state message, ...)  (in automsg.tcl before ::MSN::changeStatus $new_state, and in gui.tcl before ::MSN::changeStatus XXX (3 times))

Thanks for your suggestions !

Hello Sethnakht
It's nice and useful for someone. Thanks.

About BeforeChangeMyState. Save initial status in a var (var1), then when ChangeMyState Event is called you save the new status in a var2. Then... when the user will change again his/her status:
set var1 $var2
set var2 NewStatus
So var1 will always have the penultimate status.

About MyDisplayPictureChange: what do you what to do with this Event? Do you save the last avatar used? If yes you can write a solution like for BeforeChangeMyState. When DP is changed ContactListColourBarDrawn Event is called (in general it's called when we change something in topCL)

TODO/Suggestion:
* Auto-resize avatars (it's important, see how aMSN works about that)
* You can add tk_getOpenFile command ( http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TkCmd/getOpenFile.htm ) to open a search window, then select a file and path of file will be returned.

Thanks, it was in my TODO list
Sorry for my English.

Hi square87,
Thanks for your reply,

The event ContactListColourBarDrawn is interesting but, after some tests, it's not called after a manual change of the display picture

The BeforeChangeMyState would be usefull to change the DP before sending the status to MSN server/contact, currently, i'm sending a second time the status+display picture (using ::MSN::WriteSB) while it's done just before my the ::MSN::changeStatus

Thanks for your todo list, i'm getting some problem to make a config windows with button but I should be able to do it...  :wink:

right

Is it necessary? The plugin works only if an user change a status... why do you set again the same status?
If an user change status, check if there is a default avatar for that status, if yes load default avatar else do nothing.
I think that you can clean your proc in this way:

Code:

proc setAvatar { file new_state } {
if { $file != "" } {
::config::setKey displaypic $file
load_my_pic
return 1
} else {
return -1
}
}

btw it's only my opinion

Thanks for your todo list, i'm getting some problem to make a config windows with button but I should be able to do it...  :wink:

you are welcome
Bye ^___^

Hi,

Thanks for taking time in looking my code,

I think that you can clean your proc in this way:

Code:

proc setAvatar { file new_state } {
if { $file != "" } {
::config::setKey displaypic $file
load_my_pic
return 1
} else {
return -1
}
}

If the code is this one, the display picture is only set in local config (and shown on the GUI) but it's not sent to contacts... it will be only send at the next status change...   so.. for the time being, i re-send the status+DP (But a new Beforechangestate event could avoid this.. the DP will be send in the same time than the new status)

Hi Sethnakht
I don't know, i think that's a protocol thing. Maybe in that case "status change" is only a signal.
But anyway you'll save few seconds. If you want you can send a diff to ML.
About setAvatar you can change "load_my_pic" in "after 500 set_displaypic $file", and it will work, but, anyway, it calls change status proc.

It is normal, you must change status in order to notify the server.
