You can access the Custom Messages window by clicking on the "CyberBuddy" Icon in your task bar system tray to bring up CyberBuddy's main window then click on the "General" tab at the bottom then click "Advanced Options" then click the button marked "Custom Messages". At the top of the Custom Message window there is a drop-down selection for various Message Type functions. Select the Message Type that you would like to change or add messages for. When the Message Type is selected, a list of the messages currently available for that function will be shown. Each message is on a separate line. CyberBuddy chooses messages from the list at random. Make changes to the list as desired. If you do not want messages for a particular function, just delete all the message lines for that message type.
There are a number of special tags that can be placed in the message to alter the speech and attempt to make the message more expressive. In the custom message window, if you click on the help button a window will pop up with some info about using some of these tags. Upper and lower case as well as explanation (!) and question (?) marks can also be used.
Below are some samples to get you started, scroll through the categories below and
copy and paste the ones you want to use into the appropriate CyberBuddy custom message categories.
TIP ... it's possible to change a character's name to whatever you want!
NOTE: This works with CyberBuddy and most other MS Agent programs but some programs may rely on the name that was programmed into the character's software rather than just it's file name.
Recommended method of backing up all your downloads.
Just go to your character folder C:\WINDOWS\msagent\chars and right click on the character file you want to change and simply rename it to whatever you want.
Everyone should consider installing a second hard drive for backup & file storage purposes, this is often much more efficient, quicker, safer and cheaper than always making CD's and then trying to store and organize and keep track of them all. CD's have their purposes and conveniences but they are not an ideal solution for backing up data or files, they can easily become scratched or lost, it's also time consuming and costly to create CD's for every thing you download, especially if you maybe just want to save some files or data temporarily. Click the button below for instructions on how to install a second hard drive on your system.
