Don't start rumors and don't speculate without proof!

O.P. RE: Animating DP's, not abandoned yet.

Ok, this thread has gone nicely off topic.

For one, the problem is, as cookie said, getting the animation to the other side, not displaying it. The webcam image showing could only be of use when trying to figure out a way to display the image after it being received, for which, we already have plenty of options/ideas. Yet, perhaps, perhaps.

MSN never had the idea, by my knowledge. And I doubt they will implement it. Go ahead and cross your fingers if you feel better doing it, but don't hope; or spread faulse hope =P

I'm on smalband so I'm having trouble browsing the forum; sorry if I don't reply too much or keep this topic alive enough.

RE: Animating DP's, not abandoned yet.

so guys how are we gonna transfer the Display Picture!!
we know that when we add a display picture, the Messenger edit the picture and save it in C:\Documents and Settings\"USER"\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\"Random number"\UserTile\....
but the problem is that we can't edit or change or add pictures in this directory because they are protected by the map.dat encrypted file!!
anybody knows how to decrypt that file to be able to add, edit the size of a picture?! then we can add a png file as we said before which have in the comments a link to a gif image on any website because as I read we can't store the whole gif animated image because we're allowed to use only 2 kb...

sorry.. my english is so bad

btw this is a very interresting topic...
TheBlasphemer can help here for sure since he has done the large DP thing!!

keep on working in this thread please

Only 2kb? If you don't mind, could you find the source of that assumption for me?

By the way, adding a DP there would be one way, I don't know what kind of protection there is in the map.dat file and how to break it, yet it would not be my favorite way, since you wouldn't be able to add animating DP's through the normal Msn Messenger Display Picture Adder. Which would make it seem more professional. This would require an ASM hack like the one TB did in his SPNG.

I'll see if I can figure out something about the encryption of the DP's.

It's not a random number, it's a number derived from your email address. And the algorythm to calculate it is known.

Use this file to figure out what number matches what email address.
