As long as I can find a way to keep msn messenger from removing the extra data from the PNGs.

Btw, Cyberdude, I don't like the way you planned on doing it; it might work, but it's a crappy solution, and I don't mind at all you going for it, but when I do something, I'd rather do it the right way.
What I'm looking for right now, is a way to bypass the PNG => RAW => PNG algorythm of MSN Messenger. I'll need to memhack that probably, the way TheBlashphemer did with so many things for his StuffplugNG. Therefore, TB, I call upon thee. Memhack it for me =P ASM is not my terrain, and until that has been settled, I cannot proceed.

So you will not be working on this plugin? Or you are going to try and continue it...It's nice to hear from you  again. I was realy interested in this being the thing for a animated DP...But welcome back and hope things get better for you .

=/ That sounds bad man, wish I could help you out.
You know how to reach me; poke me if I can help ya.
Anyway, I'll ponder about another way to do this; if anybody has suggestions, I'm open for any. As long as they don't include ASMing.

* lhunath is busy writing an mIRC Script.

I have some ideas...
Make a program that will change ur DP really fast so it looks like its moving over and over, alls u need is the slides at the same time that program will take care of the 1 sec. delay of changing pictures [if thats possible]
Also I noticed when u ask someone to view their webcam before it connects it shows a webcam looking around, can't DP be like that? or is that manualy in MSN Messenger?

the slideshow thing doesn't work, ADP is a slideshow program works nice but not like we would ultimately want.

HOWEVER!!!

You may have struck a chord with the webcam .gif thing if someone could figure out how that is configured then maybe that would work.

Hmm... Yeah... This might actually work.. we have tried so many different things that anything would be worth a try...

BUT... If i'm not mistaking/misjudging M$, then they are using another "component" to show the webcam _AND_ webcam loading.... so..... But it would be worth a shot to experiment with this and check out what exacly is going on.... maybe even we could "control" this "component" and then make it display the animated dp... this will of course mean that we cannot do the webcam session but then cut of the connection with the anidp before a webcam session starts.....

hehe... I'm just thinking...

that would be again a lousy way: initiating a webcam session and then cancelling it...

The moving webcam pic is btw just 1 long PNG with the different "frames" in the same image just like wtbw explained earlier here...
There is nothing special about it

Furthermore, this doesn't solve the most important problem and that is how to send the animation to your contact...

...your too good at this.

Where is the .PNG located i wanna customize it

[OFF TOPIC]
PNG 1034 and PNG 1033
both seem the same but actually aren't, dunno which one it is that is used where...
[/OFF TOPIC]

did MSN completly abandoned the idea of using animated dp? cause if not, in a few time this whole topic would be a huge lost of time. i heard in some interview, dunno if it was on mess.be that they were thinking about putting the animated DPs to work on a future release

MSN 7 probably, but we want it now
