personaly, the program is freeware so why not the source ?

Finishing Plus! 1.5 after releasing 2.5? Nahh no way

Don't worry about that people can't see you as an amateur after seeing Plus 2. Instead of spending time adding make-up to Plus 1, continue your great work in Plus 2

Well thats kinda obvious Patchou doesnt want people ripping his code he worked for days on to make Crappy add-ons.  Plus Patchous Messenger code is extremly strong so if people can see his techniques they could potentially do a lot of damage

so if we had the code we could ruin his reputation.........and messenger bums would realise what they need to change......so end of hooking?

No, please... leave it as it was originally. A bad structured but well documented code (ie, saying how it could be more structured) is also a very good source of knowledge where people can learn how to do (or to not do) things

I'll say go for it... Great you are still wanting to help after what all ppl said to you. To be honest i don't really followed everything, but it was my first time seeing Fraise mad on IRC because of what people said to you... and she was damn mad, so impressive you still continue on doing this

sound like some people said really nasty things?? Where can I find it?? Is it a forum??

Hey i lost track of the past two threads on fanatic so im not sure quite how they turned out, anyways source sounds like a good idea. Can i enquire into the level of documentation that will be provided with the source? is there line by line stuff or will you be giving us a huge ass text file with it?

Oh and what licence will be distributed with it? limitations of use etc

Cheers

patchou has comments for himslef to know hats going on, and he'll make htem legible. i assume he'll add some, too. but i doubt this willl be enuff for a person new at C.

The code will not be intended for people who want to learn language C. There will be enough comments however so that junior C/C++ programmers (let's say, with at the very least 1 year of experience) can try to understand some of the concepts . You may not remember it but this version of Plus! was working very finw with MSN Messenger 3.6 too so it means that it doesn't even access the API to do any of its things; everything is based on tricks and hooks, that's why this version is good for learning (at least, I hope ).
