It was in some MSN Messenger 7.0 beta and it was fixed long time ago

It is as safe as any other patch. A patch changes code in a program. If the patch screws it up (because it patches the wrong address because you are trying to patch a different version than for what the patch was intended, unexpected stuff might happen like crashes).

MessPatch, as well as the other very well known A-patch are tested and used by thousands of people. But this still does not garantuee they are bug free of course. As a matter of fact, certain stuff in those patches have sideeffects and can screw up addons like Messenger Plus!. Patches should always be used at your own risk.

Also, hard-patching (= physically changing program code on disc) is illegal. Note that it is not because everybody does it that it is not illegal. Soft-patching (eg: a script like requested here) is less illegal (if there is such a thing), thus still not totally 100% legal as you still change programming code, you only don't modify the physical files.

true... however, one inaccuratie here... they don't change hex values. A hex value is only a means to display a certain byte value. You can also display it as a decimal number, binary number, octal number, ascii character, whatever... Patches change bytes. And those bytes form the code of the program.

Hex values are only a way to represent those bytes and codes.

1) Because a script can be turned on/off on the fly.
2) You don't have the drawback that other features don't work anymore because you patched msgr...
3) etc...

thanks

I had some free time, here is the script.

Enable/disable the delay by going to the Plus! script icon menu.
The current state of the delay is stored per user.

I wont include the removal of the shaking as this script is already a bit against my principles (as it might encourage flooding). Though, I could change my mind later when I'm in a very good mood and have some time... and if I don't forget it.

THIS SCRIPT WILL ONLY WORK ON WLM 8.0.0792, 8.0.0812, 8.1.0106, 8.1.0168 and 8.1.0178.

If you run it on another version, the script will _not_ patch messenger and therefor it is impossible that this script would cause problems on any other version.

Thanks Cookie. Nice script.

Yes i must admit, very good script (and very basic, so likely theres no bugs)  Why not submit it to the scripts database?

Isn't there a feature built into messenger that allows you to stop the shaking? If not i don't remember how i did mine

No there isn't ForestLand. You must patch it to stop the shaking.

That coulda been what i ment (since i use A-patch and mess-patch)

I Dowloaded it but its causing problems onthe messenger how do i remove it from the system?
