O.P. [UPDATE 6/6] AdControl test version (former media controller on adspace)
Good news!
This weekend I 'revived' one of my projects: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=40728&page=1
Note that it's (CyBeRDuDe)'s idea.

What does it do?
It takes control of the large advertisement located at the bottom of the main MSN Messenger window:
[Image: screen1.JPG]

Various pages can be loaded into that window:
Winamp Controller:

Windows Media Player controller:
[Image: screen3.JPG]
Note taker (lets you view, add, edit, and delete little notes):
[Image: screen4.JPG]

I attached a beta version of the project, it's entirely coded in c++, and doesn't use any SetParent stuff :) Also it doesn't patch anything, so I suppose it's completely legal.

Note that the attached version isn't a plugin, but standalone. I will convert it to a plugin as soon as possible. (So please don't move this thread to another forum).

Just extract the files into a new folder, run 'adcontrol.exe', and when everything went alright your adspace should look like the first screen above. Then right click to select a 'page'.

Known bugs:
  • The rightclick menu doesn't dissapear when you don't select an item, this can be annoying and I'll look for a solution.
  • Only the Winamp controller, WMP controller, and notetaker are working. When you choose any of the other options Messenger will probably 'shutdown the ad'.
  • There might be a security flaw, other people on the network/internet might be able to change your song, and take notes, etc. Got to build in an ip filter.
  • When you enable the program at first it might not always show the 'startup screen' in the ad. But you can still right click the msn ad to change it.

Keep me updated with your findings.
Also, let me now what different kind of pages you'd like to see in the controller (not only media controllers for different media players -I'll probably do that anyway-, but also think of more unique ideas, like a shoutbox etc.).


UPDATE 6/6
Today I released a new test version, with the following new features:
  • Controller in conversation window
  • iTunes Controller
  • Plugin version
[Image: attachment.php?pid=469941]
The new version requires patching of the main file. It should easily patch files which have already been patched by A-Patch, Ghost, or Messpatch. it will even bring back the control-spaces if you chose to remove them. However, it does NOT support skins like Wave11/NeoWin yet (sorry guys, probably later).

Anyway, just read the instructions.txt file :)

Also you do not need to comment the skins yet. This release is just to test whether it works for most users. I know the winamp buttons in the conv window are terribly small, this will all be improved.

ow, I made it .rar because .zip was over 1mb, which is not allowed here.

Enjoy!
