Hi, Thanks for the latest version of the preconfigured Miranda. After a bit of fiddling, I've mostly got it doing what I want it to do. However, I have a few questions, and a word of caution about its installation. First, the warning: When I installed this program, deleting the German language pack did NOT force it to revert back to English. It simply would not run. I had to go to google, type in language packs for Miranda Instant Messenger, download and paste into the languages folder a British English pack, and then it ran without a problem. You are then able to switch back to American English, if you prefer, but Miranda won't run with an empty languages folder, which makes a bit of sense.
now, for my questions: 1. Is there a way to permanently change your status message in Aim? At the moment, it's displaying some kind of default status in what I assume is German, and each time I sign on, it pops up again. I can't seem to get rid of it by erasing the edit field, either. My contacts are probably going to be asking me if I got hacked or something soon, lol. 2. How can I get the weather plugin to work? I see many options for configuring it, which I have set to my liking, but I can't find a way to actually enter a city and state or anything like that. I've looked everywhere I can think of within the program, but it's eluding me. 3. Is the Speak plugin, which I remember from years ago when I used a much older version of miranda, still compatible with this version? The reason I ask is because there appears to be no sound for either incoming or outgoing messages. I do see a sound event for outgoing messages, but no sound is assigned to it. I intend to fix this myself, but the incoming messages are a bit more complicated. There are options for what looks like incoming typing notifications, and tons of stuff for group chats, but I don't see anything regarding an actual sound event for when messages arrive. So, if this is the case, I would like to not have to guess when I've received a message, and am hoping that the Speak plugin could remedy this. Incidentally, for those who don't know, the Speak plugin was a way for Miranda to read messages as they arrived using Sappi output. I think that's all I need to know, everything else seems to be running smoothly. It's less clunky than having both Aim and Skype running, that's for sure, and for those who have more messengers, I'm sure it's a real time-saver. So, thanks again for sharing.
