Animated Avatar plugin? by chocolate cupcake on 08-01-2004 at 06:33 PM

from what ive heard msn 6.2 was suppse to be able to have animated display pics but microsoft didnt let them

No, it is impossible to make animated display pictures, it has to do with no animated display pictures being able to be sent over the server and the software itself doesn't support it...

That should teach you one thing: Don't listen to gossip, Microsoft never said anything about it :p

I dont mean to flame you but if you dont want to sound like a newbie then you might want to keep the 'im lingo' as they call it, to the im's ;)
Its hard to read when only %30 of your post is real words
anyway, thats my rant :)

wasn't there a thread about people trying to make animated display pictures in msn? like both people would need the plugin. whatever happened to that idea?

Yeah, from a while back, it was more of a pie in the sky idea, and it would have been illegal by the viable methods suggested. But without making a new server to send the animated images over swell as hacking the main .exe and some other run-time files it was impossible. Even now its believed to be impossible if you don't do that, however I'm sure one say MSN will introduce it, probably not long from now a few years at the most :).

For everyone:
But DO NOT POST in that thread things like "is this finished yet", "what's the status", etc...... If there will be news you will hear about it, you don't need to bump/spam the thread with useless posts....

No it wasn't.... Impossible.... There was only one brief sentence on the internal site from 6.2!! There wasn't even talk about something remotely related when 6.1 was released.... Also, the never said "Animated Display Pictures"!!!!! They said "Deluxe Display Picture" and people immediatly thought what they wanted to hear and the rumour started.....

Deluxe Display Pictures are something unrelated and unlinked to the normal Display Pictures. Both are something seperate and the Deluxe Display Picture-system can only be used if you install an external program. Also the Deluxe Display Pictures are not what you think they are, they don't work like normal Display Pictures, neither do they look like normal Display Pictures.....

The external program that makes this is called PowerPlus and is nothing more then an official addon for the Korean MSN Messenger!!!

All the MSN-crazy people read what they wanted to read and interpreted it as "animated DP's are going to be in messenger 6.2."... Only mess.be said in a small sentence that this was proberly going to be on a local basis and with an external program. There story was based upon the one from Neowin.

But of course people don't read the fine print... and the big ball started to roll....
