Look on Mess.be for something called Mess Patch

i have 7.0777 i dont think you have that in mess.be patch 0777 ?

can i do that and just select remove personal messages , so it doesnt mess up my cfg i have now ant the skin i have right now!

cant you hack it in reshack , msgslang.dll ?

hope you can tell me

Mess Patch works with all Messengers up to at least 7.5.0316 IIRC. And it won't mess up your config, though I will warn you about potential conflits with the skin: you never know.

Or you could use A-Patch which has compatability up to 7.5.0322 but the warning given by raceprouk will still apply

i tried a-patch but it didnt work, i checked the remove personal messages from contacts and it said it was patched but when i started msn i had the personal messages there again.

cant you reshack the dll file insted , someone must know how ?

tnx

That's exactly what those patches do, they "reshack" the DLL...

(note: there is no such thing as "reshacking", it isn't a verb, ResHacker is the name of a specific program like there are so many programs which can do the same: they patch/change resources)

ok sorry =( but the patch didnt do it for me i use the foton skin from deviantart.com i have tried everything , so you have to be able to do it manually in the msgslang.dll

but the problem is i dont know which string to delete to be able to get rid of other peoples messages.

or am i wrong ?

I can't tell you at the moment which is altered in the resources, but what you can do is to patch an unmodified(!), not skinned,  original msn messenger with such patches, and afterwards compare the resources of the dll with the orginal unpatched dll to find out what has changed.

and/or look in this thread on mess.be:
Resource Hacking MSN Messenger

eg:
Xander's reply to Resource Hacking MSN Messenger

hmm okay that sounds a bit hard , i hope you will find it for me =)
or someone else.

i installed msn and + then a-patch to remove the personal message and then i installed foton skin and i popped right back!

arrrggg i want this to work now

hmm i think i understand , but there must be a way yo get rid of this even if i have foton skin installed am i right ?

i found some strings in msgslang.dll that talks about personal message i tried to delete it but it didnt work , so i dont think i was on the right way.

still hoping for a solution

I think you can just hide the PSMs in the buddylist with Resource Hacker.
You set the "layoutpos" of everything related to PSMs in UIFILE 936 (the buddy list) to "none" and that will hide them in the buddylist. Ofcourse, they'll still show up in the conversation window...

I got it to work now i have one problem left i got the psm away but if i look at a contact right now it looks like this

Schrimp -

i want "-" this sign to get away whats the name of that one and is it in UIFILE 936 also ? how do i take that away ?

tnx for all your help so far!

If I may suggest something more straight forward...
Give all your contacts the following custom name:

Insert contact's name - 14(!N)0

This will make their actual names bold and will take your eyes' focus off any personal messages that your contacts may have. This solution works fine for me. See attached JPG...

yeh that will work but what if i end up with 228 contacts going through them and changing all their names.
This is how mine currently looks like:


I am now trying to get change the icons so that they are all the same. The mod takes the custom personal messages (except msn Plus! ones), song title, song icon, buddy status (away, out to lunch etc)

Hi!

I'm having a little difficulty with my Messenger... and it's pissing me off. I actually want to see other people's personal messages, but for some reason, they don't show...

I've already tried uninstalling and installing MSN Messenger again and it remains the same.

Can anybody help me?

My thorough list of possibilities:

Are you running the latest version? Remember, this was feature introduced as late as version 7.0 or something like that. Windows Messenger probably won't show them, either.
