Hey, i was wondering.......

cant someone make a plug-in that will update your disply pic every X seconds/minutes.

So you could have a folder that has files in it such as pic1, pic2, pic3, pic4 and the plug in will go to that directory and go through these pics every X seconds/minutes.

in a simpler explanation:

u have a folder with 5pics in it(eg. C:\AnimateDP\)
u set the plugin to that folder
u set the number of seconds for plugin to update DP
dp will thne look animated


plz some1 make it if u can

vedy vedy interesting, Sounds kool to me

well it wouldnt be an animated dp because even if u see the pic updated every so many seconds that doesnt mean ur contact will because there really is no such thing as real time in messenger
this has been asked many times b4 and it just aint possible but every so minutes well thats a better idea and im sure there is something that does this already does anybody know of this if there is?

Could probally be done, but keep in mind that if a DP changes every second that your contacts need to download the DP every second too. Also i believe that the MSN protocol does not always update DP's instantly, so delay's are to be expected. Smooth animation is not really possible.

maybe not smooth but ones saying stuff like:

if you wanted it for basic things like names moving and thing liek that then possibly could be done but i you wanted smiley faces that smile or others like this, then the time delay would make it not work propely

I'm making an addon atm with which you can do a lot with your display picture. Slideshow inclusive But it will be minutes indeed, no seconds

Cool sounds good, Any release dates or beta dates?

I'm testing it atm I hope it will be released next week. I'm running into a little problem so I need to fix that first (see other thread)

sounds kool NOELI, I wanna try it out!!

y cant there be a plugin made where u can have a disoplay pic animated as a .gif file....the file is sent to the other ppls temp inet files or sumwhere and then msn wont need to keep renewing it...it will jus need to read from that file...

me and a friend have tryed this before


it was success full if u gave it at least 7 or so seconds, becuase on slow connects it would just appear as the msn man becuase it was taking so long to load

ur saying it worked? how did u do it? a plugin?

no a seperate program

but it could be easyly done as a plugin

Stigmata:

Why haven't you talked about this????.... couldn't you release this program???.. and then maybe convert it to a plugin?????... I think many ppl will LOVE this.....

i dont see much potental thats all


ok ill get started on it

make it a plugin, but ONLY because of the messengerapi library.

but the thing is - if there are individual pic.s used as ana nimation which change every ___ secconds, only people with high, HIGH speed internet would see it as a real animation, and even then the image files would have to be prety small in file size...

that's not what they mean, if you have for eg. different halo pics and you want them switched. like a dynamic avatar, but on MSN

The only thing with this (if they wanted an animated picture gif like) the images fade in when you change them so each "frame" would be fading in, not to nice. If you wanted a dynamic image to change every x seconds/minutes thats easy.

my program will be ready somewhere this week I hope anyone wants to test? --> pm

hey hey use the .gif idea it would work but i cant sactually programme plug-ins so thats y i aint dun it yet, but yeah thats how u do it, use .gifs

i no gimmi_c in person hes called james reli... i aint sayin im a computer wiz but he gets carried away and finks he can do 'bare shit' wen he jus makes a cock of himself...(more dan alredy is).....

plz forgive his dumb behaviour


lol

well or u could make a plug-in to make the avatars linked from a site.. so it would just be like a forum avatar

shut up graham, can sum1 teach me how to make plug-ins and then i will do it

gimmi_c get a life, its simple .gif in msn doesnt work they tried many times be4, when they were thet far, the other needed the plugin to else they saw a verry verry huge dp...
and learning to programm isnt that easy I tried 2 but failed, but Im not english so maybe its easyer 4 u to learn it, good luck, only dont try 2 add gifs u will fail

u have a point ritjuh, however i dont exactlu understand wat u have rote, i did say u needed a plug-in and that iis what needs to be written, u seem to have sed that u need a plug-in to do it. but if ne1 can be bovad to get this to work i would praise you lol

on my program you use gif 's


completion status : testing

i no a few includin maself up for testin stigmata

lol ok...... if there are any visual basic programmers here that want to finish off my code and realise it

email me.... ( i have a problem with finishing projects....)

jackasswanabe@gmail.com

sumbody finish stigmatas work! i want animated display pics!

lol hell yeah, does it work with Stuffplug NG's resized DP stuff?

not really, it's not animated DP's

slideshow (every 20 seconds) or something. animated is hard so I doubt stigmata wuld do THAT

hmmmm wat happened to it being .gif files - aka animations????

well my guess is that stigmata's program extracts each frame from the gif file and then changes the DP continuously in each frame. but that's more slideshow =/

yep m.e has it right... animated would be impossible becuase it needs to be transfered to the msn server...

ok here goes...to clear things up


******* ITS IMPOSSIBLE ********

and if anyone could do it

i would have the up-most respect for them

let us had dreams and had hopes hehehe LOL

it's not impossible, takes times and is annoying, that's all.

me it cannot be done, no patching can do it..., no hook, subclassing....


the only and only way i can possibly think its possible is if u send it via another connection and then paint on top becuase it cannot be set

theres gotta b sum1 out there smart enuf and gr8 enuf to do it, if its possible!. PLZZZZ let that sum1 read this thread........

hehe hope is back, at least

i had to delete my other post..

just wait ok...

wats the latest on slideshow(? ) display pics???

To the best of my knowledge it's nearly finnished, but you'll have to check with noelie about that

Stigmata:

Any news about your animated dp's thingy???... I have looked a bit on the source but seem to have a problem with it, I will just PM you about it...

I've got a idea/suggestion how we can succed in sending/reciving the animated dp's.... without creating another connection and then painting over the dp area... but my idea will mean that it will have to go through proxy.... .. which not many ppl like to have because that way we will have to have yet another program running.... some of you programmers here might already have come with the same as my idea, or can guess what I want... I don't want to give out any details atm until I find out if my idea is possible, but I will proberly also need yours help to finish it.... or maybe some pm me, and i'll tell you about it, and then you can create it if you want to.... but I don't think that it is worth it to do it as a proxy because very few ppl will use it then.... ....

it can be done easily.. but not by me
i think it would be great if someone can make one that enables animated GIF's

I do not believe this possible really, but would be happy to see it completed. I would personally find constantly moving images annoying and distracting. Although having would be nice

well actually it could. for theblasphemer and leet asm dudes

If AOL messanger (boo) can get animated display pics, there has got to be a way to make MSN have it. Has anyone tired makeing soome sort of plugin that downloads their display picture to your computer, and then replaces the still one in the window with that moveing one? Mabey somebody can program it to work like the temperary internet folder. Just have a little popup message box that asks "would you like to download this person's animated display picture." (Agian, like AOL) Mabey have it work like the anysize display picture plugin when you load a new picture, "Would you like to keep the original size" "WOuld you like it aniated"

Just some ideas I hope somebody can work with.

Cant someone make a plugin that would load a pictureor ANIMATION from a url? it wudnt really be using the msn thing which is apparently impossible, it would jus load the picture like with people avatars for the forums....

as you probably noticed the addon is finished:
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=30223

thats a slideshow

That is what it is meant to be

And that is exactly what Advanced Display Picture does, look at the other thread...

told ya it isnt possible and if it's possible you fuck up every pc that doesnt have the plugin, because the image will be (if you don't have the plug) frames*heigt or worse frames*width, this will fuck up his conversationwindow...

but when you're this far there may be 1 thing worth trying:
send a command (at the background ofcourse) (before sending the avatar) 2 see if the other has the plugin installed, the problem is that i dont think it is possible with a standard messengerplus, so 4 this you must be able 2 change the conversationwindows like an Add-on ...
