I'm tired of all these people who blame MyCustomNix for their MSN not working. Also a few helpers are blaming my software for the malfunctioning of people who need help.

That's why I made this post.

What MyCustomNix does

• MyCustomNix changes the server the Messenger Client connects to. It's located in
  

  code:

  ---

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\Server

  ---

  Now it changes it:
  
  • When loading messenger
    
  • When signing out
  So if you don't want it, delete the key after loading messenger & before signing in. Other solution is disabling the plugin, terminating the EXE (using CTRL+ALT+DEL), restarting MSN Messenger.
  
  
• MyCustomNix DOESN'T modify data sent to/from the main MSN server. It passes it, unmodified to Messenger. Except outgoing MSG commands. It checks in its cache wether it's a multiuser convo, then adds the matching nickname (in the options panel) to the header.
  In protocol language: it adds a P4-Header field and recalculates the length of the message.

• If the Messenger client gives you an error while signing in, this can't be MyCustomNix. Why? Because if Messenger can't connect to the given server (localhost:1864 or localhost:1865, can't remember), it will connect to messenger.hotmail.com automaticly. This is the official main MSN server.
  
  
• If your contact list is messed up, I can guarantee you this is NOT MyCustomNix. I've experienced this before on a computer that never installed the program. Changing my password and signing back in fixed it apparently.

When do you think it'll come out?

i don't know... I don't have a computer to work on ATM so I can't say when. But there is other software that has this (Gilly Messenger) if you really want to try it
