Hello Brian,

many people have asked me about this by email recently so why not make the information completely public? here is the two data structs used by Messenger Plus! to create a plp file. It is provided as is and no support will be given for it.

If you create plp files, you MUST use the sound files generated by Messenger Plus! and saved in the Documents & Settings directory. You must also fill the data structure wilththe exact same information as contained inthe file (ID, category, Name, etc...). Failure to do so will result in the expulsion of the sound pack by Messenger Plus!.

Have fun

    char sTag[13]; // = "PLUS_SND_PACK"
    int nHeaderSize; //Starting after this variable
    int nSoundsCount;

};
