Happy Halloween!

If you’ve been using the latest beta version of Windows Live Messenger lately, I have some good news: Messenger Plus! is now fully compatible with it! Although I don’t like releasing anything that’s not “final”, the growing popularity of this new Messenger made it clear something had to be done on my side. For that reason, Messenger Plus! Live 4.79 has been added to the Download section and the Change Log has been updated accordingly.

Keep in mind that this is beta material so no support will be given for it. Some of the improvements (display pictures in notification popups for instance) are global to all Messenger versions so if you like what’s fresh and new, this beta is for you. Also, while you have fun with this new release, get prepared for a very special promotion coming your way for Christmas. Those of you who like action figures and collectibles (yes, you read correctly) are in for a shock .

Patchou

Yay, Happy Halloween Patchy and well done on the new version, keep up the good work

Nice work Patchou!

I'm sure now this release will ease all those "when is the next version coming??????"

woooooot! now i can actually install 9.0

Thanks Patchou! Nice to see your keeping up with things, took a while but i suppose these things do Happy Belated Halloween from Aussie

woots! been waiting for this ever since i downloaded wlm9... nice work patchou!

The irony.

woot for awesome shit with scripts... i dont really care about the whole 9.0 compatibility but yea scripts!

hehe now to wait for script and skin compatibility, that will truly be awesome

Nice work Patches

Patches I have a couple of problems with the script support for the display pictures in new toasts.  Why can't we use the contact toast to display our own pictures?  Many scripters just use that toast because then there is colour support for whatever we want in toasts and the prospect of finally having display picture support was very appealing until I found out that it was only for contacts.  I even tried making a psuedo-contact object with no luck.

It works really well and is very inviting, but it lacks your normal standards of adding in as many options as possible (that are easy enough for you to implement quickly).  Just a little disappointed, that's all.

Also, NF noted that when he was using one of Willz's skins that in the tabbed chats the status icons now appear to be the default ones instead of the skin's (this has probably been discussed in the beta section, but without privileges I thought it was just best to report it here). We're both using 8.5 still, so its not a 9.0 bug and it was working with the previous mp!l version.

EDIT: Sorry for taking so long before I wrote this up as well, I had to do the dishes.

Thank you and keep up the good work

Thank's a lot patchou.... the beta is working great right now..
no problems so far... and finally using both beta's msglive9 and
messenger plus! live

Keep up the good work....

Good work, Patchou, as always!
Can we expect an updated scripting/skinning documentation any soon?

YAY..
Thanks a lot Patchou!
Now everybody could be happy..

thx

The only software I still needed for the new live beta

Thanks, Patchou.

You should fix something for the chat logs (at least the TXT ones, I don't use HTML logs).
When I open a conversation window, have a dialog and then close the window, the TXT file is still empty and it is still being used.
Then, I open the conversation window again, and all the history appears in the window.

This creates a new log file ( someone@hotmail.com (2).txt ), and this happens again and again, whenever I close/open the window.

Anyway, good job

That also has happened to me since I use Plus!, but last comments take a while to appear, so that's not a problem for me. About the second file, it is created because you have the first one in use (opened).

Would be nice to consider fixing bugs with conversation windows and Flip 3D (and Alt-Tab).

Windows doesn't show or if they are shown, their contents are not shown.

I don't know if you need some other info on that, I can provide it.

Thanks

Did you use the correct download link? The download button still downloads the release version for 8.5, you need to click the smaller link in the text for the beta version that works with WLM14.

I have noticed a bug..
If you minimize a chat window or the contact list, the scroll bar bugs up and doesn't 'slide' down with the window.
What I mean by minimize is by pressing the -. Also if you minimize a chat window, when the contact changes their status, the colour around their DP doesn't not change, or is not the colour of the status.

This is 09' beta MSN btw.

Well done mate, and I'm very excited about the promotion. What guy in their right mind doesn't like action figures?

If the chat window is minimised then how can you tell what the colour around their DP is?

There seems to be some Window Painting issues with WLM with Plus! in WinXP SP3.

Firstly, the window border does not disappear.
Second, there seems to be some problems with the windows painting as it does not cleanly do it.

Here is a print of what happens:

Press ALT and see if in the menu bar appears the Plus! menu loaded... and let us know... maybe Apatch is causing the icon to not appear or maybe you have the option to disable the icon enabled in MP!L tools...

i do it but i can't find plus ! , man i uninstalled wlm and MSn Plus and install again also can't find PLUS ! so PLUS 4.79 Support WLM 9 wave 3 ??!! Or wt's da problem plz help ..

Thank you Patchou! now I can enjoy WLM9 with plus, I got so used to it that without it I felt WLM was naked lol

Again thank you very much for give us this update for everyone to test it even if is beta still.

My only issue is the already mentioned menu bar on top of the tabs but is nothing that hidding the menu bar doesn't fix for now ^^

lol, yea it felt kinda boring without MSN Plus.

I've had no issues with the install, all i have is that is has the /lunch, /onphone status shortcuts, except WLM 9 doesnt support those statuses any more! but ill live with that.

Maybe Plus! can bring them back

Messenger Plus! Live is not yet compatible with the latest build of Windows Live

Messenger 14 (sometimes named version 2009 or 9).
