A long time ago there was a post on this same topic, but I couldn’t find it. When an away message is sent on this version of aim the auto response says it is from the other person and not from me. For example, if BOB1267 were to send me a message, the response would appear as “Auto response from BOB1267: not here” instead of “Auto response from rascat86: not here” is there anyway to fix this without using something like reshacker or aim?
well I was playing around with this, and found that line in String Table 33, line 521. originally its “Auto response from %s:”
it should say %n instead of %s, BUT if you change it to %n, it wont even show the screenname at all in the IM box… I have no idea why… it shows up as “Auto response from:” with NO SCREENNAME. I have DeadAIM (the version when it was still free) logging my convos, and now that I changed it to %n, when I close the IM box, I get an error saying it couldnt create a log file – presumably because somehow the program lost track of who i’m talking to… so I have no idea what’s goin on
although, the other person isnt affected in the slightest by any of this… they still see the auto response line just like it should be, “Auto response from [your screenname]:” It’s only on our end (the ones with the away message up) that this problem occurs… but that wont stop me from trying to fix it, cause its annoying
You could always put auto response to instead of from.
TigerBlade: %s means a string variable inside the actual code, so you can’t change that to %n.
