On my Laptop at home I originally got an error about WSAIoctl, but then I wrapped the line in a try statement and now it works fine with my wireless connection, not sure if it will work for others.

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart){
    if(Messenger.MyStatus > 0){
        try {
            xniff.Start();
        }catch(e){
            Debug.Trace('Error in xniff.Start():   '+e);
        }
    }
}

There is a big problem when you use Pai's Xniff ActiveX sniffer in your scripts.

As soon as more than 1 script is using the ActiveX, critical problems will occur.

When you close Windows Live Messenger (with or without signing out, that doesn't matter), Messenger Plus! unloads all scripts and stuff. But because of a bug in Xniff (or the way it is compiled?), Windows Live Messenger will actually crash.
This crashing will go unnoticed for most people and it will appear as if Windows Live Messenger closed properly. But if you're a beta tester of Messenger Plus! and are using a debug version of Plus!, you will notice dump files being created as proof of Windows Live Messenger crashing upon closing.

This crashing on its turn makes that several things in Messenger Plus! itself doesn't work properly anymore either, like settings which would normally be saved upon closing Windows Live Messenger will not be saved anymore (eg: positions of the Script Debug Window, Event log, etc). It also is responsible for some other 'reported bugs' in Messenger Plus! Live.

emmm im sort of a noob
can some one tell me whole to create all this
cause it isnt really well said what to do ...

thanks

It is actually very well explained. Only, you need to understand about what it is, aka: you need to have some more than basic knowledge about the stuff.

To put it very bluntly (please don't take this in the wrong way though), if you don't understand what is explained or don't understand what the example scripts do or how they work, it is very well possible this isn't for you (yet)...

ok well...i didn't have any problem before cause it worked well on the 7.5 version but doesnt anymore on the msn live 8.0... version ... i even tried Stuffplug to get this open/close message but thosent work either.

anyways...i have to start learning somewhere ...right?
thanks anyways if you dont want to help out

Its not that we dont want to help out its a simple fact that if you dont understand the general concept it will be next to impossible to explain it. "You need to learn to walk before you can run."

And an open/close conversation notifier isn't secure because a lot of things in this protocol is called a "session"; opening conversations, changing your dp and your contact downloading it, etc are sessions so any of these will trigger your notification of an "opened window"

Is there anyway to packet sniff successfully with messenger plus?
