Hello!

ok, I think I'm now read ready to distribute this new version to the rest of the world using my new server and the dormant auto-update feature of MP2 that you all have installed . Before that, I would like you to install this new debug version and confirm me that it works really great!

http://207.44.212.108/~admin3/MsgPlusDebug.zip

Thsi is version 2.01.22 DEBUG, that means that you must not redistribute it yet. The public release will be done by the end of the week (I know, I already said that last week, but I sincerly don't want thousands of peopel to automatically download a buggy version). Again, same thign as before... if you want to help, install this version, try different things, check if the bugs you reported some days ago are corrected and when a problem occurs, send me the "C:\MessengerPlus Dump.txt" file in a zip to debug2018@patchou.com with a godo description of the problem and the time it occured.

Anybody who had crashes in the past days: please, try out this version and if the crash comes again, don't forget to send me the dump file.... I've added more information in it to track the remaining crash problem and I'm only waiting for one of your computers to crash in order to solve it!

Thank you!!!
Patchou

Only one problem now.

I have StatupMonitor by Mike Lin at http://www.mlin.net installed and now, every time Messenger Plus! v2 is started, I get a popup saying that MSNMSGS has registered to startup on Windows startup.

It's not a BIG problem but it does get annoying having to click "Yes" to allow it EVERY time I boot up.

I've only had this problem since v2.01.18? I think.

I'm running Windows XP with SP1.

If I don't start Messenger Plus! v2 every time, I do not get this message and Messenger starts up without a hitch.

mine says 2.01.21 i thought it was 22...?  it also says feb 8th maybe a restart is needed?

Mine's v2.01.22, 11 February 2003 and I didn't need to restart.

Maybe the update went haywire somewhere? Try updating again.

Yep, I guess you downloaded the file from your cache... just refresh the link .

For your problem RaveRod, it's because everytime Messenger starts, it recreates its value in the \Run key of the registry in order to ensure that it will start automatically next time Windows boots up. Messenger Plus! see this key and deletes it when Messenger exits. Instead, it uses its own key (which is not generally needed to be recreated) to launch Messenger (to ensure that Messenger Plus! is launched before MEssenger at startup).

I guess you should just configure your software so that it doesn't pop up anymore for msnmsgr.exe

just installed it, gonna start testing it out now

and also mine said v2.01.22, 11 February 2003 and I didn't need to restart.

Patchou: may it be possible that MP2 (at least 2.0.19 - Feb 6th debug version) makes Messenger log off automatically without saying so? i had this problem for some days now... but i dont know if is plus or messenger (i know many others have it too).

Great job, at least the bug i submitted was fixed, thanks patchou

Messenger Plus! 2.02 – Readme File

Is this because of the fact that the next version is going to be MP 2.02.23 or is this just a typo?

and third: What about the links to the messenger plus! site, please make them like http://msgplus.net and msgplus.net/firsttime etc, because else, when sending someone MP2, it says "If the download doesn't work, try http://msgplus.patchou.com" and that page doesn't exist, and that way, there is no use at all of that little text, if you make that http://msgplus.net ppl can see the link to the mirrors list, and then download it from thereon

Dont worry for the link, it will work soon enough... also... damit lol... don't bother the readme.txt file... it's just that the next public release will be labeled 2.02 .

Concerning logout problems, what you're saying again confirms what I'm telling you for weeks now..... if at some poitn you have a message saying that you can't change your status or whatever, well, it's because the Messenger server has some problems or because your internet connection has problems (like me at work). Again, I'll repeat myself: Messenger Plus! doesn't mess with Messenger communication precisely to avoid that kind of issue.

Patchou.

You NEVER need to reboot to install a new version of MsgPlus. If you dont have the correct version number, it probably means that you redownloaded the file from your browser cache.. just do a refresh

errr wow your on early....

ohhh i c... well it worked ok on my machine anyhow
i took that pic without a reboot...

I didnt uninstall .21 and just installed .22 directly from the zip...

and who still uses Windows Download. I use Getright.
No "refreshing" needed. No worries about cache... A direct file download manager. While downloading it avoids the windows cache and connects to the file directly...

Plus is getting cooler and cooler

No problems to report, Sir! lol

i used v1.42 and now this new version

its like the difference between MS Office 4.2 and freaking XP

Hey - when should we send our bug reports by? By that I mean when are you hoping to release it properly?

Hey Patchou, I fixed the startup problem.

Went to options in Messenger and unchecked the checkbox that tells it to start on Windows startup.

Now Messenger loads at startup with the annoying prompt.

Hiiii
Thank's Patchou,i'v installed your patch 2.01.22 on Win XP SP1 and it worked  My probleme was wen i opened the contact window and i closed it there was a line remaining,and it fixed it.
I know that it's a test patch i'll try in anyway i can and i'll give you some news on that.
Thank's again.

Hey Patchou

Are you in any need of this file???

I'm not the one to answer this, but I don't see any reason why Patchou would have disabled auto-updates, since his debug versions were in fact a utility to help him improve his bug fixes.

Greetz

Uhm, the 2.01.17 had auto-update disabled afaik.
About the being back of the auto-update function, that depends on patchou, i know it was just a temporary disable of the function, since users all over the world were checking for an auto-update ever 5 minutes or so, he had to disable it.

I suppose the function will be back in the next version, but now it will check only once a day, or once a week,... dunno that yet

well, for further info, check: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=4342&pid=37318#pid37318

You all have auto-update, in build 17 it was justcorrected so that people do not flood my server. If you have a problem, yes I need your dump file. Concerning the auto-start problem, I think (hope) I fixed it... youll tell me when the publci release will be done

i can't find a problem with it... so i guess it's good to go...

When is the next BETA going to be released?

hi all
I have tried again your lastest debug version.2.01.22 ..and still find that under windows xp pro with either 4.6 of 5 of messengers...i cant get remote assist to work...but works fine soon as i uninstall plus....

Hey does anyone know when the msgplus site is gonna go online? I can't wait! Im so tired of people asking me to explain them all the time the vast features of msgplus! Thanks for any help!

What is the last date and time to send the debug file?

oh my god, i think i really screwed up MP2 this time, i can't change my status to busy or away, or anything else anymore, using the / commands in the msn chat window...
The only thing that i changed was... my nickname,... and this time WITHOUT special format tags...

If you want, i'll send you the debug file, but i'm afraid you won't find anything special in there .....

Okay, i just found out i can't change my status IN ANY WAY to any personal status...

Well... that's serieously fucked up!
i mean, i can' change my status through the shortcuts of the peronal away statusses, not through the /PersoStat command, i just can't change it....

DEBUG version 21.01.22
WinXP
Changes since problem: changed nickname, Installed Clive Barker's Undying and uninstalled that game again

Well, can you change your status using Messenger as you would do without Plus! ?... it seems more like a network issue to me than anything else...

uhm, no network problem patchou, i uninstalled plus, reinstalled messenger, and reinstalled plus, and everything worked fine again...

this was my problem: nothing that was typed into the msn chat window actually worked, (!IP) for instance or (!N)... the only thing that DID work was the /me command....

remote assistance is messed up on mine too...

Well, yesterday I tried to remotely assist a pal and it didn't work... but didn't associate it with Plus!... if he sent me a request, the dialog box of "connecting" didn't appear or gave an error... if I was the one sending a request, it gave the error after showing the remote toolbar...

AND with badly configured routers or shared inet connections

Don't have a LAN, don't have a router and don't have a firewall xD If I close Messenger, kill MP2 process then run Messenger again (no need to uninstall xD), it runs fine.

(It must be related to something recently included, as I remember using remote assistance with a previous beta installed)

Wabz sugguests you get a firewall and router to keep you secure and unhackable
