Hi!

I have Messenger Discovery only for look contact's messenger version.

(e.g.: someone@hotmail.com is using MSN Messenger 7.5; somebody@live.com is using Windows Live Messenger 8.0; someelse@msn.com is using Windows Live Messenger 8.1)

Is this possible to do in script for Plus! ?

Thanks!

Me too, I am interested, but in the French forum, a similar question was posted and they said that it was not possible.

Because, that there was no possible interaction.

They'd need to have the script too.

I don't think they would need to...

I think the client information is also sent. Maybe that's why Messenger can say This user does not support shared folder / winks / handwritten messages, etc.

Basically, I just don't know how to do it. That was just an idea.

Well that's if you're going to packet sniff things Easier way would be to just use something that sent them a certain message, and if they had the script it'd send the info back..but they'd need the script :/

You cannot see which Messenger client/version your contact uses. You can only see which protocol version the contact uses.

For example, MSNP8 (Microsoft Network Protocol 8) does not allow nudges, winks, and backgrounds.
But you can still run a MSNP8 client but it does not allow you to use such things.

If you can obtain your contact's Client ID, you can determine the protocol version and supported features.

For more information, see here:
http://msnpiki.msnfanatic.com/index.php/Client_ID

maybe Messenger Discovery stores that information ?

All of messenger's network traffic goes through Messenger Discovery's socket hook.  So yes, it is very likely that it looks at the Client ID.

Sorry to drag this thread back up, but it was never really clear whether this feature impossible using only a script?

I notice as well there's a messenger clone called aMSN that can do this as well as Msg Discovery.

To read the sockets, you can use Xniff. It's an API which you can use in your scripts, to read/edit socket information. Search the forums for examples.
Here's one, from Pai: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=64230

From there, you can probably find the Client ID Steve's talking about
I don't know the Messenger protocol well.. But you can find enough information over at MSNPiki. It's a Wiki about the Messenger protocol.

And yes, it should be possible to do this with a script.

What they do is getting the so called 'client id'. This is a number which represents what the client can do (and what not). But it does not indicate a version number at all. Although you could 'guess' what client version they are using based upon the supported features returned by the 'client id', but this is in no way a garantueed method.
