This works good, though scroll could be smoother and a tad faster. Would also need background colour & text color attributes. maybe a Cache.ini to load up a directory of news items refreshable every 45 mins. Other than that, it looks and works good I'll hafta see if I can add more functionality to this thing on my copy

NB: Captcha does not work on Vista. Just to let you know. Perhaps others with Vista can help with the solution to this problem. Typing in the Captcha literal character per character correctly responds with an ERROR. This does not happen on Win2K or WinXP. Vista must read something differently-?

Chances are people commonly don't know what "YMSG Protocol" is...as in the thread tittle. Where "Yahoo! Messenger Client Example in AutoIt" might draw more attention? <CLINK> <CLINK> Two cents deposited. Rawk ON! MOAR Y! PØWER! [EDIT]: whøøps, "YMSG protocol support, Yahoo Chat, Cookie reading, etc." All I noticed was Thread tittle as: YMSG Protocol Support on the Thread Header.

Go to http://megahal.alioth.debian.org/download/old/ and get the win95.zip (66Kb) for windows, extract to a folder then run megahal.exe Its a Command Line Interface (CLI) When MegaHAL is started it has no knowledge of language, and is unable to give a reply at all; the program needs to be trained using a source of text, so just start typing sentences into it... before long it will begin to reply on its own Also on the MegaHAL site there are personality files you can put into it. You might even make your own based on those. The MegaHAL Source is available on the site as well. I'm hoping someone will do an AutoIt port of it if at all possible I'd do it but I still have a lot to learn about AutoIt so it may be a whiles yet. We had it working after a fashion on Yahoo! Chat the other day as a dry beta run thru YahELite It was hilarious fun. Apologies for being Slightly offtopic... But man AI is fun!

MegaHAL is even COOLER! A.I. has always been fascinating. I wonder though, about how one would go about it seeing as AutoIt is single threaded? It would be neat to see a Port of MegaHAL or even ELIZA done in AutoIt.

How about interfacing it with a USB menu tool with kewl features like a USB search, eject, nested groupable menu's with icons, a menu organizer similar to FireFox's bookmark organizer, a USB tool kit along with a skinnable interface Jazz it up man >_< I think this Drive tool would do well with something like this. I love USB Flash Drive Tool suites. Meanwhiles I'll use this as part of my usual assortment of USB Drive toys *Grinz*

I want to build a chat bot
Merovingian replied to program builder's topic in AutoIt General Help and Support
Depending on the chat client you want to code for... but yes you can write a bot of this sort to reply to trigger keywords Pls see ChatLion by Random667, an auto responder for a 3rd party Yahoo Chat client called YahELite. Its fairly straightforwards. You might start with this and improve upon it over time. -
Now, this is very nice. Great work! I'm always on the look out for Usb Flash Drive Launchers. Currently I use a modified DCOT menu to launch my UFD programs; and so far I'm quite happy with it. DCOT is written with AutoIt by Tim Fehlman also, so maybe you could expand on its capablities. A Launcher Gui isn't always wanted; when a systray icon menu is much more unobtrusive. Now if only DCOT had nested menus. Anyways, perhaps this gives you more ideas.

You might have a vaild point there lets wait for Crash lulz *edit to conform

Traymenuex Udf. Add Icon Or Bmp To Trayitem
Merovingian replied to Uten's topic in AutoIt Example Scripts
On icons, I usually GIMP mine, and use the Iconify feature... it makes an icon set with scaled icons from the tiniest to the largest and lets you save it that way as if it was a single icon. Transparency isn't a problem either. Just thought I'd point this out. -
This is just FANTASTIC timing , Holger *Grinz* , I was just developing a tray application, when bang, you posted an update to your modern menu just today. My hats off to you. Great Work

Search for Chatlion for the yahoo thing, and RTFM: autoIt Helpfile and learn by reading code here on the forum then look around the forum for 1-2-3 tutorial, you need to have "some" coding knowledge to start with.
-
An auto matic responder robot of sorts allready exist to do that , search AutoIt forum for Chat Lion. And maybe modify the code specifically for yahoo messenger. have fun.

Heya's, As a budding coder learning to code with AutoIt I'm rather enjoying myself. Anyways, I came accross this article the other day and thought I'd share it with those of you who are facing a learning curve as you scramble to pick up the language. Gui Design Theory By Joel Spolsky. I rather enjoyed the read, and it's provoked a new appreciation the effort that goes into the design of any Gui ment to be userfriendly and intuitive. One of the many things you should strive for when when you approach the way you want your applications to look and feel especially if you forsee it being adopted by a large userbase. ...

discard this post... I can't see how I made same post twice :"> sorry. but the one before this is the main thing

Sykes Have you begun your feed reader project yet? I'd be curious to see how you set yours up as I sort of need a base to jump from in pursuit of doing my own that passes to yet another app's ticker/marquee. #Cheers, Garg.

Heya, random667 Duno if yer still around this forum dude, I came across this back in March but didn't have much time to sit down with it. Until now. I had to edit your code a little, your headers had too long a line of " = " and it threw a spoke, so I managed to fix that no sweaties. I noted it IS case sensitive on the login name input. You might want to mention that in the release notes. but certainly fixable by clearing off the wrong name case and restarting the app otherwise Chatlion will protest. And I use Metapad to do my editing with, I set AutoIt as metapad's secondary viewer to run the app works great and lets me change / ad / edit emotes, macros, /playfiles, and so on wonderfully. And just a normal save for changes to take effect. I don't even have to restart the app...unless I run into a bug. BUG: Which btw I did find. I set up the triggers.ini to respond to anyone who's specific nastiness towards my screen name triggered YahELite's /ignore command which of course fires the ignore macro, heh. As a result I discovered that my silent iggy ctrl+dblclik username in roomlist was rendered nonfunctional. I'm going to try and see if maybe using <ignore!> macro instead will produce a better result. Will advise if that fixed the problem. I do suspect its the way YahElite is handling Chatlion's input. Overall this little bot is userfriendly and works very well as a FAQ bot, One Liner tosser, room greeter...etc...all around fun while you're AFK. And its nice that it can deliver standard answers to standard questions that one gets tired of explaining lol Maybe I'll add a trivia component to it later on )

Kewlies ! Hope you do more YahELite focused Scripts You might even incorporate the YahELite Personality (.ypf) files, /MOTD , and /playfiles
