Sorry for the late reply, I was away for a couple of days..

UFILE 923 is the Contact List, and I just browsed through it looking for something that looked like it could be an adbanner... tested it, and it worked. After doing it the first time it becomes a breeze on the newer versions.

Is it possible to remove the ad banner of the contact list in hexadecimal ? I know how to do it with uifiles but i want it in hexadecimal

Use a hex editor that shows the text values as well, and do a search for the same string

Be careful not to delete or add bytes because that will corrupt the file, only overwrite bytes... and if you want to delete, then overwrite with a space.

I have tested and didn't find it
Do you know what string I have to search ?

Assuming your hex editor shows text values as well, then it's exactly the same as searching through the UIFILE.

So do a search for this string (ASCII):

code:

---

<element layoutpos=top layout=verticalflowlayout(0,2,2,2) padding=rect(2,0,3,2)>

---

If you're editor doesn't allow you to search for a string that long, then I'll save you some time and tell you that it's located at offset 005c2de7 as can be seen in the image.

Now we have to change the layout position from top to none, so we change layoutpos=top to layoutpos=none



But now we have a problem, there needs to be a space between layoutpos=none and layout=... - ideally we could just add a space, but I've tried that and it corrupts the file, so what we have to do is overwrite the rest of the text within that <element> tag with spaces (20 in hexadecimal).




Notice that I kept the final > because it's needed for the <element> tag.

That's it, save the file.

If you check it in Resouce Hacker now, you'll see that string now looks like this:

code:

---

<element layoutpos=none                                                        >

---

Note: I've updated the HEX offsets in the first post for 7.0.0632 and I have added how to change the "View my contact card" string to "Change My Display Picture".

YES . Thanks a lot ahmad

What do you mean exactly?

When a nudge is sent you want your window to shake?
Or you want to be able to send nudges?
Or..?

He means remove the flood protection.

Segosa is right, i wanted to know how to remove the flood protection as i am trying to build up as much info as i can so that i  can make my own patch for myself (so when i have problems with for example the second edition of MessPatch that wont run properly it wont be too much of a problem)
