News about Messenger Plus! by Patchou on 04-08-2003 at 07:59 AM

Hello everyone,

the sun will rise in about two hours so I have some minutes to tell you about the advancements of Plus!... the next version to be released was supposed to be a minor update with translation added. Now, it's been transformed to one of the most major updates. There are several news things, that I'll let you disover when the new version is out along with the History file. Don't expect big new features but let's just say that Messenger Plus! has been improved a little by everywhere. This results in a better software so that you can enjoy it even more.

Of course, Translation is the main big feature of this version. In fact, the code is ready to be released, I'm just waiting for translators to finish their job. They are working hard so you can all thank them for that. Also, note that this version will be labeled 2.10 and won't be considered as a beta anymore. It's solid as a rock!

On a side note, as I already said in one of my latest posts, the new Messenger Plus! web site is being developed. It will contain helpful information like a rewritten FAQ page and a Tutorial section to help everyone to use the features of Plus!. Also, you'll be able to buy nice shirts from this site. Below is a sneak preview of one of the shirts... hope you like it :).

Note that because of the translation delay, the new version won't be released before another two weeks. It still meets the goal I fixed which was: before the end of April :). Thanks for your support everyone!

RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Johnny_Mac on 04-08-2003 at 10:08 AM

Hehe... knew the shirts questions(and the price) would be a popular reply... Just thought of that when writing my mess story. :banana:


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Fragged on 04-08-2003 at 10:40 AM

Is that USD?

Good news on the next release though. We can all have a big 'official release' party.


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Mnjul on 04-08-2003 at 10:59 AM

I like the shirt:rolleyes: When and where will we be able to buy it:huh::gfdrin:


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Dadoef on 04-08-2003 at 12:39 PM

Great news Patchou.
So now your starting your own little enterprise. When will your second single come out? I liked the first one very much, Patate Spears. Can't wait for it to come out. ;-)
Keep up the good work!!!
:bow: Patchou :bow:


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Guido on 04-08-2003 at 04:58 PM

The merchandising will be available in the new site together when the final version is released.

About the price, yes, probably will be around the one wtbw said. But there will be cheaper products as well that you'll be able to buy. So, don't worry. :gfdrin:


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Freeze on 04-08-2003 at 05:16 PM

Cheaper products, like underwear with his face on it and his tongue out? :p

Hahhahaha, that'd be neat! :D
RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Patchou on 04-08-2003 at 06:17 PM

Yep, the shirts are $18.99 USD. That could have been cheaper but with less quality shirts. I wanted my marchandise to be high quality so that you don't lose the logo after two wash.

You'll be able to buy from the new web site, so, in about two weeks :). There will be mugs, stickers, bags, and different kind of shirts (men and women).

Patchou


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Johnny_Mac on 04-08-2003 at 06:58 PM

$18.99 United States Dollars

£12.30 Pounds Sterlling
€17.75 Euros
$34.80 NZ Dollars

About the translation feature, if you have Windows NT4/2000/XP, as long as you have the correct font installed, you'll be able to see any language. For Windows 95/98/Me, you'll need a Windows that supports the language you want to use (but obviously, if you want to read Arqabic, it means that your Windows can do it).

RE: News about Messenger Plus! by caravelle on 04-09-2003 at 09:54 AM

Will this new release works with Windows Messenger 5.0?

Thanks


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Pure_BY on 04-09-2003 at 10:54 AM

yeah, i'm pretty sure it will work with Windows Messenger 5.0 ;)

Windows Messenger 5 :undecided:


I doubt that it will, because the last version(s) haven't been able to, and Id on't think there has been any great break through as of yet with microsoft.


I could be wrong though :undecided:
RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Pure_BY on 04-09-2003 at 11:03 AM

i think it will work :gfdrin:


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Pure_BY on 04-09-2003 at 11:07 AM

well, current Plus! 2.02.23 officialy does not work with Beta version of Windows Messenger 5.0 (with some people it does :-/), but i'm pretty sure that next release of Plus! will be Windows Messenger 5 (Beta) -compatible ;)


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Muss on 04-09-2003 at 11:17 AM

Unless Patchou has hinted at that himseld, then I don't see how you could come to that conclusion.

It is completely idiotic :refuck: :lol:


But as I have said, I don't think it will work, especially since Windows MEssenger is a beta copy, and shouldn't be avaliable to the public (or should it?, but that would make it a public release, not beta :undecided: )

And then it would be illegal that all the peopel have it, and patchou would be producing software that works with illegal software, which he doesn't want to do :refuck:

But again, I could be wrong :P


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Mnjul on 04-09-2003 at 11:26 AM

Patchou said he's working on the compatibility with the leaked beta version:rolleyes:and he said the next version of plus! should be compatible.

The new version WILL work on Windows Messenger 5.0 (as well as on all other MSN variants ofcourse).

I know because i'm running Plus! v2.02.29 with Windows Messenger v5.0.0149 together, and it runs very nice :D I just LOVE recieving alpha's in my mailbox :p


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Guido on 04-09-2003 at 06:55 PM

Yes, Muss, you are wrong. The next version (just as the current private betas) will work with Windows Messenger 5. This is not a conclusion, but a part of Patchou's version history.... :refuck:

Translation-Testers ? by Gott on 04-10-2003 at 01:28 AM

@Patchou

How many people are working on each translation?

If there are only a hand full translators working on each language I do NOT think that it is very wise to not release any more beta-versions before releasing the final!


I made horrible experiences with programm translations in the past and I really hate to recommend a great programm and then tell everybody not to use their native language but choose english, since the translation makes the programm nearly unusable.

For example Shareaza: It's a great programm, but for a long time the German translation was simply so bad, that lots of Germans kicked it of their machine. If there would have been no German translation at all it would probably have stayed since most German speak English rather well but most users don't bother to switch the UI-language of a programm just to check if other translations are better then the one of in their native language!


I really really recommend to release beta-versions of the translated versions so native speakers can test them and make recommendations for changes of the translation file!
Patchou, I don't know how good your for example German skills are, but I don't think that you will find flaws in every translation yourself. And just trusting the translators to do a perfect job doesn't make sense, translators make mistakes - often more then programmers. A test of the translation is IMHO extremely important.


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by sock on 04-10-2003 at 01:53 AM

Oh noes....... Here comes another delay...........:-/




* sock slaps Gott around a bit with a large trout.

Are you mad?!?


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Guido on 04-10-2003 at 03:11 AM

:lol: @ sock..

well its true [in fact, chromo made some annoying translation faults :dodgy: in spanish latinamerica] but releasing the final version of the code doesn't mean that patchou can't release a 2.1a version with updated languages some weeks later.

And believe me, errors in a such a long text file are likely to ocurr unless you do it very pausedly :-/


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by DXtremz on 04-10-2003 at 03:57 AM

O!!!! CHRONO MADE A TRANSLATION ERROR? How in the world did he do that? HE IS SPANISH!!! :P...Shame on you chrono :refuck:


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Patchou on 04-10-2003 at 07:48 AM

There won't be another beta version before the release since it would take monthes before all translations can be perfect. However, there will be a new section on the forum for translation.. mistakes found will be reported there so that I can fix them in the files... then, after some weeks, I'll release a new version with the corrections :). If a translation is judged very bad buy several people, I'll simply remove it until it's rewritten.


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by nus on 04-10-2003 at 08:01 AM

we will wait, but some translators :many: (like me) want to start their work as soon as possible

:( so when r we gonna hav the translation rili


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Mnjul on 04-10-2003 at 01:35 PM

about one week, or a couple weeks:p


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by riball on 04-10-2003 at 03:41 PM

Are the languages gonna be integrated into Plus!?

or can you use them like plugins? that you can download the language file you want and you get a list of installed languages in Plus!



RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Guido on 04-10-2003 at 07:44 PM

Both. I mean, probably some few languages will come with the installation file, but most will be available from the site, as otherwise it would add 1 or 2mb to the setup file :-/

Msgplus allows languages to be added later.


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by riball on 04-10-2003 at 08:36 PM

maybe a good idea that ppl can make their own language files

with their own description?!


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by DXtremz on 04-10-2003 at 08:38 PM

Wouldnt that get a little out of hand?


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Pure_BY on 04-10-2003 at 08:41 PM

that will be really bad idea. Just imagine how will i explain somethin' to person who has "what the fuck???" instead of "Preferences"??? :refuck: :lol:


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by DXtremz on 04-10-2003 at 08:42 PM

LOL...:refuck:


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by WDZ on 04-10-2003 at 10:21 PM

Currently you can create your own languages by adding files... I think Patchou should keep that possible in the final version... :-/


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by bloodymarvelous on 04-11-2003 at 01:00 AM

The whole point of having multiple translators is to divide the workload, and have it checked by peers. Patchou specifically mentioned that all translators must master English as well as the language their translating into.

(Of course that does mean that all translators should first contact each other before translation begins, and not like with the Japanese translation where most translators either don't respond or say they're too busy to be bothered. Which meant that two people had to do all the work and go over the file 20 times to filter out all the errors...)


By the way, the Japanese translation should be absolutely perfect, mostly thanks to Kensuke Nezu, who did most of the translation.

RE: News about Messenger Plus! by DXtremz on 04-11-2003 at 02:21 AM

but we dun need a latin version rite?

If you meant Windows Messenger 5, current releases of Plus! aren't compatible with it. But Patchou said he would work on the compatibility with it.

RE: News about Messenger Plus! by chrisbloe on 04-12-2003 at 09:27 AM

When I said the latest version, I meant version 5.0.0.0544. In all previous revisions I had no problem, but this latest revision has caused many, the Auto Away message is also giving me problems, as once I put it on it will not come off, and now I cant even put it on at all!

ne takers?


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Mnjul on 04-12-2003 at 09:33 AM

someone encountered this problem before...they un-install plus and re-install it again to solve. Though I don't suggest doing so. If you have evidence that only installing 5.0.0544 is the cause of this problem, perhaps you can try PMing Patchou and describe the problem.


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by user13774 on 04-12-2003 at 09:44 AM

He folks,

I have a question: which languages will be supported?

Arabic
Bengali
Bulgarian
Catalan
Simp. Chi.
Trad. Chi.

Korean
Kurdish
Lebanese

Tagalog
Thai
Turkish
Urdu


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by user13774 on 04-12-2003 at 10:08 AM

Whow man, that's one hell of a list :). Is that all gonna be supported in one version? So will all the supported languages be installed on your pc, or do you have to choose during de installation, so that only one language is installed?


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Mnjul on 04-12-2003 at 10:32 AM

You'll have to choose the language you want to use during the installation:gfdrin:Just like Patchou said in another thread, every language has a 30KB of language file.


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by user13774 on 04-12-2003 at 10:50 AM

Yes, ok thnx, i'm new here on the forum so haven't read all the (important) threads.

I know because i'm running Plus! v2.02.29 with Windows Messenger v5.0.0149 together, and it runs very nice :D I just LOVE recieving alpha's in my mailbox :p

Oh... that version works with Windows Messenger?

I didnt realise...

Johnny_Mac goes and installs Windows Messenger 5. :P
RE: News about Messenger Plus! by user13774 on 04-12-2003 at 01:40 PM

I've got msn messenger 5. What functions has windows messenger more than msn messenger that could possibly be handy for just a normal computer user as i am? :grin: :type:


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Pure_BY on 04-12-2003 at 03:04 PM

there is so called "ink" function, you can write with hand in "Type message here" box, and send the text... but i am afraid it is only TabletPC-supported feature. You can recieve handwritten messages on any PC, but i think you can send them only from TabletPC, i dunno exactly... :-/

you can also log chats automatically, but this you can do already with:plus2:. I think there are some more small extra-features, but i'm not sure...

Al least, what is *really* fucked, the interface is not changed at all!!!

Maybe it is not changed because it is Beta, i hope so... al least, if final version comes with such an ugly interface, i will keep using MSN Messenger 5.0 even besides Windows Messenger 5.0 is better :@


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by user13774 on 04-12-2003 at 03:21 PM

I prefer :plus2: with all it's special fuctions. Here is a list with some special functions of Windows messenger, that MSN messenger doesn't have: http://messenger.msn.com/support/features2.asp?client=0

yes, but windows messenger 5 has different (more) features
RE: News about Messenger Plus! by user13774 on 04-12-2003 at 08:12 PM

Yeah, function that normal computer users like me don't use u mean. :gfdrin:
:plus2: has function that is use, and which are very handy for non-business people.

When is the new msn plus coming out?


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Mnjul on 04-15-2003 at 12:53 PM

About one or two or more weeks, but I suppose by the end of April.


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by user13774 on 04-15-2003 at 01:06 PM

Yeah nice, will the new msn have a differd style / different look, then the beta?

BTW, IT'S NICE WARM HERE IN THE NETHERLANDS!!!!! (24ºC)


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Mnjul on 04-15-2003 at 02:17 PM

No I don't think so...Plus! never and will never add skins or any new looks on Messenger...:(


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by user13774 on 04-15-2003 at 02:20 PM

no i mean the preference window and so....


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Menthix on 04-15-2003 at 06:21 PM

No, no real huge diffrences that you will be able to see (except for multi-language support ofcourse).
The main thing that happens from beta to final version is squishing all the bugs that are left :)

And by the way... very nice weather in holland indeed.... to bad i had school half of the day :(

Well, even though it is in English (which is the only language I speak) I'm gonna install it in French. Just to be strange.

Well, at least I won't install it in 'Tagalog'. Never even heard of it! :D

Hey, I know it's a bit late but here's an idea for Patchou - how about you do what Microsoft does with messenger? Save all messages and anything text in a big file, and just download the file to change your language. It'd be a hell of a lot quicker. (I think messenger's language file is called MSGSLANG.DLL, and it's in the messenger folder. You can hex-edit it to say what you want ;))

RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Guido on 04-15-2003 at 09:22 PM

I don't understand your language suggestion, tomfletcherman... :-/

The multilanguage feature is already done and will be available in the new version...


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by tomfletcherman on 04-15-2003 at 09:25 PM

the way u sorta create u own txt file 4 it th@ inserts ur language in. so in theory u cud hav ur own weird language or pig latin or sumthing. cud b done in a tbl:

plus!----->us!play 
(pig latin)

Doesn't a piece of paper suffice for noughts and crosses? Or do you really wish to engage in a challenging game of noughts and crosses with people you've never met from distant countries? :P

By the way, have you ever tried to code noughts and crosses? It's the most bloody annoying thing to code ever (especially in VB)! It's simple... but computers just DON'T get it! ;)

Well, they wouldn't, they're all 95% microsoft...

Edit: and by the way, by my text file suggestion, I wasn't trying to hurry the release up, I was simply trying to make it easier to switch languages. I'm mad like that, you see. I like to have 25 different languages at my fingertips, even if I can't read 24 of them. :P

That's already possible (well, not already, but will be in the new version).

RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Menthix on 04-17-2003 at 06:32 PM

Well... i suppose i can quote some real new... this message was sent yesterday to all of the translators working on the translation of Messenger Plus!...

quote:
Hello,

time's up! if you haven't sent me back the latest version of your language file already, the deadline is next Friday, April 18th. No new language will be be accepted after this date. Please remember to add the new section and keys specified in my previous emails.

This weekend, I'll release the last beta version, with all your languages. I plan to join a small tool I'll do specifically for you so that you can quickly ensure you didn't forgot to translate anything.

Thanks!
Patchou.

So we get one more beta version this weekend (monday for most timezones)... dunno if the beta will be prublic or private.. we'll see.
anywayz, i'll keep ya updated.
RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Guido on 04-17-2003 at 06:52 PM

Urh... are you allowed to copy-paste patchou's mails? :-/

Sorry if you can, just wondering...


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Menthix on 04-17-2003 at 06:59 PM

technically i'm not... but i don't think he will mnake a problem out of it? The mail i quoted doesn't contain any confedential data.

I have Patchou on my list, i ask him when i see him... all of patchou's mass-mails are send from my system anywayz...

Hopfully it's get a case of a delay. Cause i got the version thats been hear a while.. ...02.23 unless that the last every coming out.. Now that would sux.
RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Guido on 04-19-2003 at 12:03 AM

No, in about one or two weeks the new version (final 2.1-not beta) will be out.


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by 2Pac on 04-19-2003 at 06:26 AM

I don't think the beta will go public.


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by user13774 on 04-19-2003 at 09:01 AM

BTW, can u upgrade ur current version of msn plus with the new msn plus (non beta, when it will be released), or do u have to uninstall the previous version?


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by WDZ on 04-19-2003 at 09:10 AM

All previous versions just replaced each other, so this one shouldn't be any different...

We don't know. Hopefully by the end of April.

RE: News about Messenger Plus! by billywoods1 on 04-20-2003 at 09:34 PM

It's done a runner? :S Isn't it strange how programs do that?

Make sure it's still installed :P if it is, reinstall it!

That's all I can say!

By the way, Patchou, hurry up and release the full version of Plus, we've all been waiting for ages, using this 'beta' version which you have known for ages is as solid as a rock... and the translators have finished, haven't they?
Hurry up :blah:


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Mnjul on 04-21-2003 at 10:27 AM

Yes the translation work is all finished;)We now have the last chance to find faults.:|


RE: News about Messenger Plus! by Pure_BY on 04-21-2003 at 10:35 AM

Nah... not really the last i think, Patchou said he still will make some updates after the final version, but "he will take a break" :D

You've got all the sounds, BUT there is one more command - /sconfig. This lets you turn the sounds on and off if someone's annoying you with them. :P
