An MSN Plus Message tool! by gizmostripe on 04-23-2003 at 11:36 AM

Hello all.

Mmmm, by the screenshot, it looks like a useful one, especially for newbies ;)  I'll try it later and tell you what I think of it :)

i would just like to no how u use these things on msn plus? coz im just a newbie and dont no much bout it.


RE: An MSN Plus Message tool! by saralk on 04-24-2003 at 10:23 AM

ive tried it and its pretty cool, on suggestion i would give you is to let you type the message and then format it by higlighting and stuff

if you select pink, you get cyan.

607kb? :undecided:

Gradier's only 25kb! True, it's not as functional, but we're making a new program right now... and that is, well, [to be announced]...

It's not that exciting, unfortunately ;) But it's better than Gradier for what you people want.

Edit: my 56kbps modem has just managed to download it, thank God. And I like it. But you could at least get rid of that huge blue background! No wonder it's more than 1mb unzipped!

Tsss don't fight over a color tool ;)


RE: An MSN Plus Message tool! by Patchou on 04-25-2003 at 12:50 AM

Thank you for taking the time to do this addon.. I'll add the popular ones on the new web site.


RE: An MSN Plus Message tool! by gizmostripe on 04-25-2003 at 09:42 PM

Thanks :), a new version is on the way which should be smaller than the previous version (ie. bye bye blue stripy thing), and the program i used to make it stores loads of pointless c*** with the exe. I will try to remove that too.

Oh yes quite a few bugs should be corrected soon, so look out for version 1.15 or 1.16 (depending on how much i fix :D)

I wasn't fighting. I was being dial-up conscious. ;)

Yeah, if you can just chop a megabyte off it it'll be great. ;)
New version!!! by gizmostripe on 04-25-2003 at 10:15 PM

Ok latest version is 1.15 with the colourfixes, and so on. (If it persists, modify "colours.ipt" with notepad) as its simpler to do.

Removing the big image did reduce the filesize but its compressed anyways. So ive removed it nevertheless 593kb lol :P)

Oh as ive removed the pretty bg image, you can now add you own :D yay!, make a gif and save it as "bg.gif" in where you installed the message maker (640x480 please for it to look right)

Heres the link (although the same)
http://www.gizmostripe.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/mpm.zip

I will port it over to VB soon for Version 2 (MUCH faster and smaller)

Live previewing will be in Version 1.2 ;) so look forward to that.

Additional Note: Post any suggestions on what should be in V1.20 (no filesize=smaller complaints ok, i made this as optimised as possible ;))

New feature requests: Post here,

Already Coming In V1.2:
- Live Previewing
- More control over the look of the message maker.
- Skinnable (Possibly, or just has a new look, tell me if you would want it skinnable)
- A better help system.
- Easter eggs of me wetting myself on oblivion @ alton towers too :P :S or maybe just me in a car pulling a funny face (long live patchou!! :D)

Thanks

hey there i really like that msn plus message maker it is so great
:D :lol:


RE: An MSN Plus Message tool! by solid_kevin on 04-26-2003 at 11:41 AM

is it possible to make it so you add your own smilies? or is that already added cause I just downloaded msn plus few min ago.


RE: An MSN Plus Message tool! by gizmostripe on 04-26-2003 at 04:26 PM

yeah, its added that smiley table has all the smileys available (i think)

And the first really cool background image for the message maker.

http://www.gizmostripe.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/asylumbg.gif

(right click and save target as, make sure you rename to bg.gif too) :D

send any baground images to : sillysmof@hotmail.com (640x480)

and i will post them on a official site soon ;)

Thanks


RE: An MSN Plus Message tool! by deadman on 04-26-2003 at 09:07 PM

this is cool, but
there are only that sounds?


RE: An MSN Plus Message tool! by gizmostripe on 04-26-2003 at 09:18 PM

They are the only sounds what are included with messenger plus :( so its out of my control.

Sorry, if there are more sounds make me aware of them asap so i can map them too.

Thanks


RE: An MSN Plus Message tool! by solid_kevin on 04-26-2003 at 11:42 PM

I ment like making your own smilie (drawing in paint or psp etc) and adding it in a convo or something?


RE: An MSN Plus Message tool! by solid_kevin on 04-27-2003 at 07:30 AM
