Clickable links, in MSN Name by s7eph4n on 05-12-2004 at 05:22 PM

Nope. There is no plugin that can turn your name into a hyperlink...and if there was your contacts would need the plugin as well so it's not really useful...I doubt the .NET protocol would accept it...


RE: Clickable links, in MSN Name by CookieRevised on 05-12-2004 at 06:00 PM

Doesn't has anything todo with the MSN protocol though...
And the plugin would only be needed by the person who wants to click on the link*, because the plugin would only alter the way that names are shown, not sent. And this is not possible, not with a plugin, not with an addon, because the names are text-objects, so the plugin would have to change those text-objects into hyperlink-objects which isn't possible...

* So, if you set this as your name: "S7eph4n || http://www.msgplus.net  ||" and you wish the link was clickable, then you need to give your contacts the plugin. You don't use the plugin yourself (unless you want to be able to click it also of course)

EDIT: TB striked again :p (Y) But note that it isn't a plugin or addon, but an actual patch which will change your msn messenger!

Yes, you are. Although I shouldn't talk because I was banned for :spam:ing not too long ago. I think that this feature would be not very useful. If you really wanted, just set a quick text to whatever url your site is at.
RE: Clickable links, in MSN Name by weirdal27 on 05-12-2004 at 10:10 PM

i actually thought of this today, you bet me to it ;)
i was thinking of a feature of plus! though, so if your contact had plus he could see the link


RE: Clickable links, in MSN Name by EvilSeph on 05-12-2004 at 10:33 PM

I know someone working on a patch for this, stay tuned.


RE: Clickable links, in MSN Name by xsRush on 05-13-2004 at 02:59 AM

Wouldn't it be just as easy to use the command tag (!N)
I know that it's not what your asking, but would work just as well.

yes, true.... but my point was more that you can't change the object-type with a plugin... You must alter the way MSN Messenger works...

EDIT: And TB did it by patching MSN Messenger :D (so, no not a plugin, but actualy patching/changing Messenger)
RE: Clickable links, in MSN Name by Dempsey on 05-13-2004 at 08:03 PM

Hi All, here it is :p

TheBlasphemer has done it again with another l33t patch.

For the lastest version of messenger only (6.2.0133)


have fun clicking the names  :)


Dempsey


RE: Clickable links, in MSN Name by BooGhost on 05-14-2004 at 05:03 AM

couldn't something like the [ url]  tags be done for Messenger with Plus! plugin or Plus! itself? :S


RE: Clickable links, in MSN Name by stooge on 05-14-2004 at 06:43 AM

good idea, blasphemer, only too bad that it's only for the latest version, is it possible to make a version that is compatible with al msn 6 versions? that would be great. whatever you decide, respect


RE: Clickable links, in MSN Name by SolidasRock on 08-12-2004 at 09:40 AM

that post is last written on 14-5-2004. i want know if there is now a way to make a url clickable in msn names?

i dont want use the patch because i dont want to push everybody to download that patch. i like to see that patch integrate in msn plus. so i can use this in my nickname by typing this way:

SolidasRock [u r l=http://www.msgplus.net]msgplus[/ u r l]

It's "MsgPlus" not "MSN Plus"... MSN Plus is something entirly different made by Microsoft:
MSN Plus
Messenger Plus!


Anyways, to do that you must patch MSN Messenger, either on disk with a hard patch, or either in memory. Patching on disk with a hard patch is illegal and thus will never be included in Messenger Plus!. Patching in memory isn't so illegal (on going discussion if it is legal), but this is also something that will never be done by Messenger Plus!. So, in short, it will not be included because Messenger Plus! will never tamper with MSN Messenger in that way because that is equal to altering the internal code of Messenger...

There is no problem... I replied to SolidasRock question why it isn't included in Plus! itself... *-)

And not everybody is happy to install patches (or even plugins for only 1 thing)...

you means i install the patch so everybody can click on it or everybody needs to install that patch to click on it? if it is the last what i am saying then it is a "no go" for me....
RE: Clickable links, in MSN Name by MC Inferno on 08-15-2004 at 03:51 PM

The Patch doesnt work for me :S Keep Saying

"Could Not Open MSn, Are You Sure It Isn't Running?"

I've tried it running, not running, even walking (;)) but nope, not working. Is it because I'm using crystal MSN?

I am using MSN 6.2.0133 btw.


Edit: Never Mind, I've just relised that I can't use this because I have Custom Names enabled anyway :P

The one wanting to be able to click the url needs the patch or Stuffplug NG (wich has lots of other neat features too), u don't need it to put url's in ur name.

Possible... Skins can also alter the original offsets which needs to be patched...

Even if you have custom names enabled, the patch will still work. The patch doesn't interfair with custom names or vice versa. The patch alters the internal code of MSN Messenger so that it also changes URL's in names to clickable URLS just like it does in text...

But make sure that you use the correct version of the patch for your MSN Messenger; If you have a patch for 6.2.0133, then it will not wotk for 6.2.0137!
