MODIFICATIONS
--Removed all text and graphical advertisements, microsoft just pisses me off with how it assumes just because i dont have a web cam connected i dont own one, and are offering to sell me one.
--Added couple custom games
--Added an icon for my received files in the chat windows
--Increased the amount of text that can be sent at once to 1000 or 500 dont remember which.
--Added polygamy ability so you can open more than one messenger at a time.
--Disabled the nudge protection so you can annoy the hell out of your friends sending crazy amounts of nudges.
--Also removed the nudge window shake, you will hear the sound but you no longer have to worry about the window poping up over your work just because someone nudges you.
--Added ability to double click the display picture to change it.
--Removed all adverts from emoticon, winks and display picture menues.
--Added the always on top option to the option menue.
--Replaced the default audio codec usage when sending quick voice messages to ogg, if messenger detects its present on the other machine. if not it uses the default wma audio.
--Added ability to chat when invisible with people (hahaha so okay this one isnt true, but i wish i knew how lol then i really would have added it).

All the info on how to do these modifications can be found over the web, and seeing as how i made this addon with me in mind i added the ones i like, if you would like to add your own feel free. just dont pm me asking how.
google and mess.be are your friends. and dont start flaming me saying google is not my friend, im answering you from now saying its not my fault you treated them bad in highschool and they dont like you now.

Does this addon replaces windows messenger with MSN Messenger? I always use MessengerDisable to unassociate windows messenger from outlook express before installing msn messenger.

DisabledTrucker · Post by **DisabledTrucker** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 2:06 am

It doesn't "replace" it, it just adds it.

larciel · Post by **larciel** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 2:48 am

so this is build 7.5.0311 ?

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 6:20 am

@larciel yes its build 7.5.311.
@rekoil yes i know of that patch it allow you also to speak with people whom you have blocked. but it does not allow you to have your status invisible and still be able to chat

.
@amirali_esh I would have replaced messenger if i could but i got so many errors when i tried and i was getting a headacke. i think i found a way to replace it but it would have to wait until microsoft updates their software thats when ill do a next release. also what is messengerdisable can you explain? i always wanted to disable outlook express opening messenger just never knew how.

dgelwin, I have this QFE patch which fixes from 7.5.0311 to 7.5.0319, want it?

Post by **5eraph** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 7:52 am

Windows Setup can be instructed not to install Windows Messenger by adding the following entry to WINNT.SIF:

Code: Select all

[Components]
    msmsgs="Off"

No reference to Windows Messenger will exist in the Start Menu or your Program Files folder.

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 8:25 am

@viva I prefer waiting until microsoft releases 0319 publickly i have had bad experiences using beta messengers

but tnx fr the offer.
@seraph tnx for the info, but do you know if there is any way of disablng it without using a winnt.sif?

ViVa · Post by **ViVa** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 9:02 am

It's not beta, it's QFE... It will never be released publicly. Microsoft is full time working on Windows Live Messenger, that QFE is just to fix some minor issues in .0311, mostly sign-in problems.

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 9:29 am

oh cool in that case pass it over

@amirali_esh thank you, thank you, thank you, thats exactly what i was looking for.

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 11:42 am

I removed the link because im finishing testing on v319 qfe which ViVa sent me, and i will upload in a few minutes, so there is no use to continue downloading the old one.

warrior1109 · Post by **warrior1109** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 11:59 am

There is a QFE patch version 7.5.0320, and a planned version 7.5.0322 within 48 hrs. Hope thats of some use to you dgelwin.

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 12:10 pm

well that really sucks, i just got trough updating this one

,
@warrior1109, do you have the links, that way i can go ahead updating at leat to 0320 for today. and as soon as 0322 is relesed ill do that. but once thats finished i think ill be only releasing on publick releases, because microsoft changes version numbers like i change underware.

ViVa · Post by **ViVa** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 12:21 pm

w00t I got pwnd! Usually I daily check for updates, I forgot to do so today...

And btw, dgelwin, MS doesn't do QFE a lot, this is coincidence.

ViVa · Post by **ViVa** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 12:24 pm

warrior1109, dgelwin can just download .0320 from Mess.be?

Btw dgelwin, you don't need .0320 for .0322. The patch for .0322 is from .0311 to .0322, just wait a day or so and keep checking Mess.be if you want to stay updated.

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 12:31 pm

ok in that case ill just releas 0319 for now, that way whoever really needs it would have it.

but i do have one question, thanks to amirali_esh i found a way of replacing the messenger that comes with windows, my question is this, should i replace it, or should i leave it?

ViVa · Post by **ViVa** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 12:34 pm

There doesn't come any MSN Messenger with Windows. The only thing that comes with Windows is that crappy Windows Messenger. In the future both will be replaced by Windows Live Messenger.

ViVa · Post by **ViVa** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 12:36 pm

Btw, I see you made a few modifications too. Ever heard of A-Patch? Might come in handy for your addon. I think it's the best of its kind, and immediately updated when an update of MSN appears. It also supports Windows Live Messenger beta versions.

amirali_esh · Post by **amirali_esh** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 12:53 pm

dgelwin, if you could replace windows messenger with MSN messenger completely it would be really great.

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 1:04 pm

ViVa tnx for the info actually i had never heard of it b4. ill check it out now, i actually had time to update to 0320 so im testing that right now.
@amirali_esh thats why i asked the question above that no one seems to answer, because i have found a way to replace it but i would like to know if people think i should replace it, or just leave it there?

amirali_esh · Post by **amirali_esh** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 1:18 pm

Well in my opinion I don't see any reason to keep it when MSN messenger offers a lot more functionality.

ViVa · Post by **ViVa** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 1:23 pm

amirali_esh, Windows Messenger serves another purpose as MSN Messenger. Windows Messenger is meant for business use. It has got nothing todo with each other. In the next version there won't be any difference: Windows Live Messenger.

DisabledTrucker · Post by **DisabledTrucker** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 1:25 pm

Yeah there will be, Windows Live Messenger will be able to communicate with Yahoo Messenger... eventually...

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 1:32 pm

yet still no one answers my question, should i replace it or not?

ViVa · Post by **ViVa** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 1:39 pm

@DisabledTrucker, I meant there won't be any Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger, just Windows Live Messenger.

@dgelwin, like I told you, they are 2 different things, so for my part there is no point in 'replacing' it.

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 1:43 pm

@ViVa you have a good point, what i will do instead is make 2 releases, one for replacing and one that dont, because me personally i dont like it. so i will 2 versions one normal that dont replace messenger for everyone. and one that does for me

DisabledTrucker · Post by **DisabledTrucker** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 1:44 pm

I just want the patch that removes Messenger altogehter...

ViVa · Post by **ViVa** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 1:46 pm

I personally remove Windows Messenger with nLite, so it doesn't even get installed in the first place.

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 2:09 pm

@DT here this will remove all traces of messenger from your system. Click Me

Anyone here needs an invite for Windows Live Messenger 8? I'm a BETA tester and will be getting some invites soon.

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 4:48 pm

killed the link until tommorow i forgot something, ill upload again in the morning

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 8:42 am

Link is back up. as soon as the new qfe update comes out someone please inform me.

ViVa · Post by **ViVa** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 8:43 am

Sure, but just look at least once a day @ http://www.mess.be/, and you are just fine.

DisabledTrucker · Post by **DisabledTrucker** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 4:04 pm

@dgelwin thanks

Rekoil · Post by **Rekoil** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 5:01 am

if your gonna get invited to trial windows live messenger DONT get the invite sent to anything other than hotmail, msn or passport accounts or it wont work

edit: can a mod or admin please change my name to Rekoil

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 8:17 am

@rekoil, actually it does work, what screws things up bad is when your like me, and you sign into your yahoo account and open the invite, while checking your girlfriends hotmail account, seeing as how you need to sign in to accept the invite, and her hotmail was alrady signed in, well you can figure how this sad story ended.

DisabledTrucker · Post by **DisabledTrucker** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 9:03 am

ROFL

Rekoil · Post by **Rekoil** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 9:13 pm

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 9:16 pm

yes, i logged in using my girls account, and it does offer chat while invisible, it also gives you the ability to send offline messages.

FOOSA · Post by **FOOSA** » Sat Dec 17, 2005 3:21 am

Your gf's the lucky one! Wait till I get further invites and will send them to you...
