Well you knew this topic was coming It seems that Messenger 7 has changed a little bit. And now DPs can be animated as well and this clearly proves a problem for oversized DPs and i suppose other SP-NG features. Patchou has already talked about ad banner problems so i suppose the "hooking" into MSN Messenger has changed a bit too. Last time i heard from you you were recoding and doing unicode. I suspect that youll have to recode AGAIN since 7 is coming up (?or release 2 versions?) and Plus! currently isnt compatible so youll have to wait for that too. So if you could give us a status report thanks.

Good Luck with everything.

Well untill Plus! becomes compatible with Msn Messenger 7 we don't have to worry about this.

We know its gonna be imcompatible so i just wanna know what TB is gonna do...

well we dont know it will be till Plus! works but odds are alot will need to change

The msn6 method of doing dp's and ce's isn't being removed as far as i know (for backwards compatibility's sake) so I wouldn't be surprised if SPNG would be able to do much the same as before, if not with a little extra coding.  But yes, of course, there's not much point in speculating until MSN7 is finalised and Plus supports it.

This is to all who are waiting and freaking on the "integration" of the "Animated Display Pictures"...

The "Animated Display Pictures" will NOT be the thing you expect!!!! Heck, it isn't "Animated Display Pictures" but Deluxe Display Pictures!!!!

Everybody is expecting that you can use an animated GIF instead of a regular GIF or PNG. This will NOT be the case!

So don't go like "MSN lied, they said they were gonna include this and they didn't"...

Also see here: CookieRevised's reply to suggestion for new plus version!

so i dont think it'll be changed, unless deluxe display pictures are some whol other different thing

nice one TB, take a break and wait till final msn 7

btw, when is msn7 out?

I would say a month or three from now, but of course I am not sure. I t depends on what needs to be changed etc. on the current MSN7 build. And translating...

Last official date i heard was Feb 2005.

Side note: That shouldnt have been posted in this thread, as it isnt related to the topic. It should have been posted in MSN Messenger 7.0.0250 BETA
