O.P. Animating DP's, not abandoned yet.
Alright, I'm stubburn. I was looking forward to animating DPs, so animating DPs is what I wanna have. So I started thinking. MSN Messenger doesn't allow for them in any way maginable. So, as it doesn't allow for, for example, packet sniffing á la Notifier etc, I wanna make it possible using a seperate executable, with a custom protocol sending animating DPs.

I'm sure I'm going to get flamed now by some =P By the way, my ambitions always far exceed my talents.. Sucks being a perfectionist..

Anyway, anybody who's interrested in giving me a hand in this ?

Changelog and development status :

Project laDp : Lhunath's Animating Display Picture

Status : Finding a way of sending the image

DONE :
- Decided how the animated image will be sent and received.
- Build a program that can read the contents of chunks in PNGs
- Build a program that adds a chunk to a PNG containing our animated gif
UP NEXT :
- Investigating how the PNG can be sent to the other client without loosing the "laDp" chunk.
        Options:
          - Making the local client skip the IMG => RAW => PNG step, and adding the special PNGs manually
             => PROs: Neat and structural. Using the protocol itself. Few security flaws possible.
             => CONs: Unable to implement as of yet. Large DPs. Need protection against Buffer Overflows?
          - Using the top row of pixels to include the WAN IP of the local user, then set up a P2P to retrieve the animation data.
             => PROs: Open for later expansion of functionality. Implementable.
             => CONs: Connection issues (firewalls/...). Security/Privacy issues (IP). Open for remote control vulnerabilities. Image Corruption.

TODO:
Find a way to dock the picture in the Display Picture area
Find a way to set and get the display picture


Project Status: On Hold
