Notice new message-very effective and interesting

Really simple, just copy this code and add at begining of template navbar:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
<!-- Script New PM -->
<OBJECT classid=CLSID:D45FD31B-5C6E-11D1-9EC1-00C04FD7081F id=ricci width="32" height="32"></OBJECT>
<SCRIPT>
var MerlinID;
var MerlinACS;
ricci.Connected = true;
MerlinLoaded = LoadLocalAgent(MerlinID, MerlinACS);
Merlin = ricci.Characters.Character(MerlinID);
Merlin.Show();
Merlin.Play("congratulate");
Merlin.Speak("You have new message!");
Merlin.Play("domagic1");
Merlin.Hide();
function LoadLocalAgent(CharID, CharACS) {
LoadReq = ricci.Characters.Load(CharID, CharACS);
return(true);
}
</SCRIPT>
<!-- / Script New PM --></if>

You also can be flexible to edit whatever you want. For me,I think it's very effective for members know that they're having new message.

I've replaced the word Merlin with Robby in the code, but I still have Merlin.

Thanks great code.

You would need to download Robby and install him on your PC. Also all you MS visitors would have to download and install Robby for him to work for them.

Not sure if Robby has a special trigger sting but should be included with his doc file.

Hi,

Yeah I have Robby installed... Still doesn't work... /sad

Phonexpo, did you change the HTML so specify Robby instead of Merlin?

[phonexpo]

Yeah, here's a copy of what I'm using;

 <if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
<!-- Script New PM -->
<OBJECT classid=CLSID:D45FD31B-5C6E-11D1-9EC1-00C04FD7081F id=ricci width="32" height="32"></OBJECT>
<SCRIPT>
var RobbyID;
var RobbyACS;
ricci.Connected = true;
RobbyLoaded = LoadLocalAgent(RobbyID, RobbyACS);
Robby = ricci.Characters.Character(RobbyID);
Robby.Show();
Robby.MoveTo(850,300);
Robby.speak("Hello. You have a new private message!");
Robby.Play("GestureRight");
Robby.MoveTo(700,75);
Robby.speak("Don't forget to check out our special offers.");
Robby.Play("Gestureleft");
Robby.speak("Just click special offers to view the latest deals.");
Robby.Play("DoMagic1");
Robby.speak("Merry Christmas.");
Robby.Hide();
function LoadLocalAgent(CharID, CharACS) {
LoadReq = ricci.Characters.Load(CharID, CharACS);
return(true);
}
</SCRIPT>
<!-- / Script New PM --></if>

[VaaKo]

can we make it like to let merlin say the title of the pm and if we click on it, it'll take us to the pm page?

[VaaKo]

maybe we can use this:

if (confirm("<phrase 1="$newpm[username]" 2="$newpm[title]">$vbphrase[have_new_pm_popup_x_y]</phrase>"))

found in: pm_popup_script template'

would it work?

Funny one. My users was thinking "virus" at once. :lol:
Thanx fore charing. And it works. But no sound.

Just added, this is pretty cool!
