Hello you!

I know that some monthes ago, I said that I was going to do a new verison of Messenger Plus! and I didn't for several reasons. Well, as you may know now I have created a page on my web site to follow the progress of this new version but I thought that a screenshot could help you "believe" .

Below you'll see the result of the new Boss Protection shortcut... this feature has been completly redesigned and, even if you can't see everything on those pictures, you'll see the main result which is: you're safe now, chat!!!!!!

Before:


After:

WOW. This was what I wanted when i posted my first post in this forum.. GR8

Thanks Patchou. Keep it up

kewl it looks good

Looks good!

Yay, great work
Then i can finally do MSN at school again WHITOUT getting caught.

lol, ops, forgot to remove Fraisie's email... oh well, anyway, as long as I didn't forgot to remove mine j/k

So you press the two buttons, it gets rid of the things put you away/brb etc.


Then how do you get it back??, woudl you have to go into task manager and switch to that process??

naaa.... didn't you see? the icon of Messenger is not removed, it's modified! to come back, just double click on the icon.

I thought that icon was the norton antivirus thing 

What I thought was happening was you had more then two icon down there and that arrow thing scrolled across them, then the MSN icon disappeared and the icon frmo the left of it came across into view.



But that is great, good work 

and when you clicke on that icon, all the chat windows reapperas with the started conversation or just the messenger window?

real good work  patchou, don't get rid of making new screenshots for us

edit: does it really takes two minutes for the windows to go down to the system tray??(20h40 à  20h42) LOL!!!

DOES THAT SAY "little fish"?

lol... yes it says "little fish" and no it does not take two minutes to minimize .

If you want new screenshots.... here is one.... nothing special you'll say?... well... what if I tell you that my email is not an hotmail one but a usual POP mail account...

[image removed]

My school gives us POP3 Accounts so i can use this for that 
an my own pop3 accounts 

Does the email account of the POP3 Checker need to be the one of the msn session or can we have more than one account that we can check
sorry for the bad english but translating from french to english instead of thinking in english isn't easy.... and it's the day after saturday lol

hum, just for my personal curiousity patchou, what is the meaning of those japanese hiragana (ther are some i do not recognize) and how did you put them into messenger (which font)??

You'll be able to specify up to 4 different POP mail accounts, which are not related to your Passport email.

The Hiragana characters are here because of a long story.. one day I installed a japanese version of Messenger to test Unicode in Messenger Plus!... at that point, Messenger must have "flagged" my account as being japanese... now, my "Online/Offline" group always appear in japanese... that'S all

---

Maybe 4 different ones that aren't related to it, then the one that you are actually using?

Hmm, yeah.... maybe

Patchou? Help us out 

It's 4 POP accounts intotal, you can specify your passport + 3 other accounts or 4 completly different accounts... what I meant is there is no link between your Passport POP mail and the e-mail check.

Owkidowki then... nice.

how often is it updated (i don't know the system of the mail checker of hotmail), can we change the interval of time? and will the 4POP accounts be posted on the main window of messenger?

and good work for the (!N) and (!M) features i can't wait to test the

nor can i

The number of emaisl you'll see on the Messenger window is the combined total of your POP accounts.

For (!N) and (!M), you'ree free to give me some suggestions of what else you'd like to see. One good news for you is that everything can be combined, for example, (!T) can be used in some commands to specify a parameter. Let's say that you associated an alias with your quick text, like that:

  QuickText: Hello (!T)
  Alias: hello

Then during a chat you can enter
  /hello Patchou

and you'll see
  Hello Patchou

...if you wanted you could enter
  /hello (!N)

and you would see "Hello <nicknames of the contact you're chatting with>".

Anyway, if you don't understand (I can have some problems to explain things in english), you'll see it soon enough in Messenger Plus!. And, last thing, everything I just talked about is already coded and working

I go back to my code!
Patchou.

hum sounds pretty good but ......... i didn't understood a single word (i exagère) of what you said .... if you want you can explain me simply in fench(in pm) it would be better ..

This new stuff is very impressive, although im mostly waiting for the scripting... 

i like the second thing patchou, but just a thought, what about if your chating with two people at once, like 3 way (manage a triios!(wow i cant spell))

Nice new features, i like the email feature are you also gonna build a email feature for those who use Microsoft Exchange?

What about the recourses msgplus uses? Is this similiar to the 1.42?

interessant question gergit....
maybe we should assigne a number to the people chattying or else....

hum patchou, will it be a way to hide the "says" ("dit") in mp2 so the nick will be totally empty (thx ALT+0160 )

For the resources, I expect the new version to take the same amount or less memory than the previosu one. The main reason is that the program has been compeltly redesigned based on everything I learnt about Messenger in the past year.

For emails, currently I only added POP support. For IMAP and Exchange, I don't have the time to search for the detaisl of how to get the information so, if you have a code snipet to send me, I'll be more than happy to include it in MP2.

Currently, tags like (!N) display the information for all users in a chat. So, if I'm chating with Jae and Fraisie, (!N) will produce "Jae, Fraisie". Adding a number like (!N1) and (!N2) is a good idea, I didn't thought about it... I'll add that this evening.

Note: I'm trying to make the new version as customizable as possible. However, to avoid surcharge in the Preferences windows, several options can be set only by editing the Windows registry. For example, the separator between names ", " can be modified to whatever you want. Same thing for the number of POP accounts... the interface allows you to specify 4 accounts but internally, MP2 supports up to 9 accounts.

After the release I'll do a page on my web site with the list of every key you can add to customize MP2 a little more.

Patchou.

Nice Patchou !

kewl ,is that 9 on top of teh 4 pop 3 accouts or aswell?

Btw, who are the ones who tried to add me to their list using the email showed in the capture ? lol

LOL I didn't tryed

just a sugestion about the whole keeping suggestions in the regestry.. um, well, i personally think the regestry was the worst thing microsoft ever put in windows.. maybe it would be alot nicer if you had an .ini file, or something of that sort.. so it would make it 100 times easier if you have to re-install plus, or winodws, or giving all your settings to friends, or something like that.. just makes it easier, and nicer i find.. and alot more clean.. but thtats just me, and you are the programer!

Sorry I disagree. First, if you give Messenger Plus! to your friends, you must give them the installation package. For preferences, I prefer everyone to check for themselves what they want and what they don't want.

The registry is a great thing. Ini files have their own strength but the registry has data types and allows an infinite number of sub directories to be created.

I understand your point of view then... but you know, the registry is much more protected that ini files... modify a ini file without backing it up and you're screwed for life. The registry has two automatic backup, which are done everytime you start Windows, so you still have a chance to undo your actions.

In any case, modifying a ini or the registry without knowing the result is risky, you can do it, why not, but don't blame Microsoft for it .

Peace

Or you could use an XML file instead of a .ini, that way you get heirarchical storage, advanced "stuff" (XPath, XInclude, XSL, lots of other achronims starting with X, ...), W3C standards, and it isn't in the registry - which I personally hate.

Anyway - if Patchou does a registry storage for extra attributes I'm sure I can write a quick editor for them, any chance of a button in the options dialog to run an "extra settings" program?

How would you undo something then? Just restart and not shut down properly?

Patchou, you are doing a marvelous job.  I am currently wokring on an MSN website, and I was wondering if I could get permission from you for using those screenshots.  And I was wondering if you could maybe give us an estimated date(By the pace you are working at) that Messanger Plus! V2 will be out.

Thanks,
Schooly

Thank you for your comments . For the screenshots, I would prefer that they stay on this forum until the beta version is released. It will be done quickly anyway. For now you can put screenshots of Messenger Plus! 1.4 if you want.

oh well, i dont care, its all good cause patchou, you rule!!! hehehe, and i haveny once had a prob with reg since i went to nt/xp (same dif)

so its all good..

but if you think about it, they have had to put those backups there for a reason anways, tahts enough outa me for that!!


oh and one other thing though, its about logging, have you re-workedit so it doesnt screw up if say im talking to you in one chat window, and in another you and say, ginge, and in a third, just ginge?

Yes, it will be completly reworked 

yeah yor right. Hey Patchou when does the beta come out??? i would like to test it!!

Hi ! I ask Patchou about it, and I'll be replying to your question regarding the releasing date of MP2.

Actually, Patchou plans to release the alpha version in 2 weeks, but he and only he will chose who'll get to test it. The release of the beta version will depend on the results obtained by the alpha version.

dont worry, the beta version will be public. I just count on alpha testers to release a beta version good enough for everyone. Alpha testers will need some knowledge about how to correctly report the bugs they find.

that ok with me me be Alpha Tester please

Yeah yeah, you'll be all alpha testers. Just give me enough time so that I can give something to alpha test

By the way, a beta version is not necesserally public. Concerning my contact information... hum..... don't tell anyone but... I'm not human! 

Huuuu???
surely a man programming this excellent MP2 cannot be human, but what are you???

But I guess the one you actually check is something like yourrealname@someisp.ca. :wink

Can I be an alpha tester?  I know alot of things to look for.  I used to be an alpha tester for this game Tikitiayosho which was 'japaneese based'.  I quite after a couple of months cause the creator didnt have the time nor funds to hpst anymore so....  

Thanks,
Schooly

hey! mp2 looks really cool so far and i cant wait for it, but i just want to check it will work in msn5! im sure it will but at the moment i am msgplusless 

Thanks for the improvement for MsgPlus 2! I have been looking for a long time and I am still looking for it... 

I have a suggestion about the boss shortcut, I have been using two softwares for boss shortcuts... one from MsgPlus! and secondly, I was using a software, QuickHideWindows from www.cronosoft.com to hide the conversation windows, not I think I no longer need that 

But I use to find that QuickHideWindows a bit easy, Windows Button+Space Bar use to hide the active window and again pressing the same use to unhide them.

I would be excepting the same from MsgPlus 2.0! I dont think it much of a problem for this to program, I think all you need is just a logical condition in the module you would be coding for hiding the windows. If HIDDEN then SHOW or if VISIBLE then HIDE 

Hope to see that soon....

Thanks...

urxlnc

Messenger Plus! looks like it's getting along well from your features list... can I be an alpha tester? (Please please please )

By the way Patchou, this has been asked before, but roundabout when will the beta be released? For that matter, when will the whole thing be released?

Ok, I won't bother you any more.

it the main topic of the other topics in this part of he forum, messenger plus! 2.0 's devellopment is paused untill microsoft give an answer to patchou about the api's docs.

I thought Patchou had just got all that stuff with Timothy's article!

Oh well, no one tells me anything...

OII think it is apart form XP

Most of the API problem is solved yes. But a good fix for the MSN5 API on XP is still needed. And the API Patchou will use now doesn't have ALL features, so a few things in MP2 might be lost... so we're not exactly saved yet... Lets see what Microsoft has to say to Patchou in a few days?....


EDIT:Just talked to Patchou... Messenger Plus! 2.0 is currently being devolped again... the API problem isn't realy fixed yet (solutions are welcome ofcourse), but Patchou is not working on the API problem  right now, he waits and see what Microsoft says about it.....
but don't wory, when MP2 will be released it WILL be MSN5 compitable

Maybe but most people don't take the time to find them .

For MP2, yes I'm still developing it and for god sake, please, stop asking me when the beta will be available... I do not know! it will all depend on the alpha testers work... alpha version will be distributed to chosen people who know how tu use a computer and who have the time to try anything they can to make my software crash .

im good at crashing whole computers... does that count too?

Alpha testing: Internal, small number of people who don't want to use the new features, but want to test them, this is quite a different thing. Also they should be able to tweak their registry, install/uninstall lots of stuff.
Beta testing: External, more people = merrier, people using the program in day to day situations
Gold/Final Release: Everyone gets a copy, by this stage it should be bug free

more = merrier, hehe...

why jmac?

shame, i think you would have been good testing it.

Hey Riball, i have the same problem since some weeks...verry iritating Everytime 2 dialogs but im to lazy to fix it i think uninstall and reinstall it will work...

Rene

Well if it helps let me know!

otherwise i think i copy version 2003 when my friend gets it

btw patchou why should i buy it if i can get it for free?

Just because Norton does not develop its softwares for free... I won't start a debate on piracy, I don't say that all my softwares are legally installed on my computer but for $30 softwares, you should be a little helpful. Anyway... if you got your copy for free, then you can't complain... the same thing applies for Linux

well like windows xp its freaking expensive...

and i mostly dont want to go to the shop for that kinda stuff...



but you have also ppl that get your own work make it a lil different and say yeah i made that... i think that is pretty stupid

First (as a student of Japanese) let me explain the Japanese 'hiragana' in the screenshot: Sono ta no menbaa -means- Other members (or contacts that you haven't grouped) (I'm writing 'hiragana' since there's also a kanji and some katakana in there)

Second: Please stop pestering Patchou to become an alpha tester... This way he will never get to finish MP2 

Third: Personally I prefer McAfee VirusScan to Norton Antivirus. McAfee uses far less resources. And for optimum virus protection: keep your virus definitions updated.

That's all I have to say about that.

LOL Norton is better than mcafee... in my eyes

i readed somewhere that very old lil virusses just jump into ur system

ok weird....

from the progress of MP2 to...the difference between linux and windows...

stay on topic ppl
[offtopic]dunno whatz better btw[/offtopic]

WDZ or Johnny, U should split this thread ... U should send the splitted stuff to Tech talk BTW

Yeah... splitted into 3 to keep on topic...

MP2 is progressing in Announcements & News

Japanese in General Chit Chat

Windows Vs Linux in Tech Talk

J.

BTW Patchou, about the boss key, does it disables Pop-ups and sounds also ?

*Don't diss me if that it's already implemented in Plus 1.4, I never use the boss key....*

Hi Patchou!

I would like to be an Alpha-tester too. PLEASE!!!! I'm one of the English - Dutch translators, so you've got my mail already!

The Boss protection hides notification popup windows but does not deactivate Messenger sounds for now.

Well, but anyway, if you're using messenger in a place where you shouldn't, I don't think you'll be with the speakers turned on... Y'know what I mean...


[offtopic]Can I become a Tester also?[/offropic]

Is MP2 available to all to test? I hope so as I am quite eager to get it. If not, maybe Patchoz (sorry if i spelled it wrongly) could open MP2 for everyone to test 

Patchou has already said he will choose who gets to be an alpha-tester, the beta-version will be public

Hey man awesome work

Guyz ,

Patchou is chosing the alpha testers ...... if u keep asking him it anit gonna help ya chances!!

The new upgrade if messeneger but 5.0 (0.540) is that gonna create any problems ???? 

To that advanced messenger plus they have basically copied your idea patchou well it is your idea ! 

Good Luck Patchou for what ever you have got to finish in plus!

P.S - My email is hayden_the_st0ner@hotmail.com ..... i am usually quiet often on MSN

I shall say this again, just to make the point... PATCHOU ALREADY HAS ALPHA TESTERS.

There we go... should do the trick.

I think a list of Alpha testers should be posted, and a rule of no PM'ing them should be made, as once the Alpha testers get the Alpha, there will be pandemonium, people will ask for screenshots...ask for the program..with PM, find out your email and beg you on there, spam your email etc.

I know this only because i test programs.

and i want this rule as i am an Alpha Tester, and it will not only benefit me, but every other Alpha Tester too...

As Johnny_Mac (spelling) has stated, Patchou and ONLY Patchou will choose Alpha Testers, the reason is, that giving an Alpha to a complete stranger means releasing the program early, because that person will most definitely send it out to everyone they know, bragging they have this incredible program, and bragging that they are an Alpha Tester...now Alpha Testing is not..easy...as alot of news sites will bribe you for screenshots, info, etc. Now if you do give them screenshots, info, etc then you are not worthy enough to test this program, and in the end it will be your loss.

In conclusion please stop bugging Patchou and the MSG Plus Staff/Forum Staff...as they are very busy/have their own lives, and will not, i repeat will not leak anything to the public without permission.

Regards,
EvilSeph

I also think...all Alpha Testers should have a new Rank MP2 Alpha Tester or sumthing...

regards,
EvilSeph

LOL and then everybody is going to ask

can you send a copy to me?

i think those alpha testers should be anonymous

Of course they'll ask us for screenshots, copies, etc
But we won't give it to them
So what's the problem ?

lol alot of spam in your email cuz everyone wants a copy...

also you get crazy on msn cuz everyone adds your to their list...

on MSN you can block and on here you can ignore so thatz no problem, on hotmail u can block too, no problem again, i still think you should give a new rank and post the alpha testers to show they have been chosen so stop asking kind of thing...

Oh well... guess I won't be an alpha tester then...

Can't wait for the beta version though - or, more to the point... the real thing. Keep up the good work, Patchou!

The final list has yet to be decided... I'll let you know, don't worry

Hey

Posting a list of alpha testers is not the smartest idea ... i have had problems in past with my name being posted in fourms that i am an alpha tester and ppl don't stop asking for a copy so i suggest to save e1 the grief and contact ppl indvildually .
Glad to hear a beta version will be done by december can't wait to try it !!

Cheers

Alpha testers and alpha testers should only know who is alpha testing... no one else... thats what I think anyway...

And let Jae sort out the screenshots for mess.be.

I also think the alpha testers list should be kept private...

please quit nagging about the alpha testers, and just let Patchou decide

I agree

Lol, you know everyone wants to get MP2 to see what it's like and all. But dont bug just wait.

I know I am.

i merely suggested it to take some burden off Patchou as if the Alpha Testers are listed then people know, that they are chosen, case closed, stop asking.

I'm sure Patchou will make an announcement saying they've been chosen. I don't think a list of them is needed as proof.

I don't even think patchou should say when people are alpha testing it - if they aren't already 


If there is a list, people will beg patchou for it, if the people are announced they will be bugged about it, so if no one knows when it is happening (cept the people who actually have it) then no one will be bugged about it??

I use outlook express 6, to recieve email from my pop email and my hotmail email...

I wa wondering if you can make the links within msn that load you webbased inbox, instead load outlook express to check your mail

Maybe you can add a feature to do what some people call 'skin msn', you know, that trick of changing lvback.gif to anything you want... an option to change it can be nice    and some right click options when you click a buddy like: 'see logs from this buddy'. And if you want some help in spanish translations, i can help 

Why don't we stay on topic ?
There's an special forum for features requests, so I think you should have posted there
And diegorm I think your avatar is a bit too big, and it messes the forum displayng, but it's not me who deciedes that

Check Patchou's MP2 update page:

http://patchou.com/msgplus/mp2.htm

New stuff!!!!

Yeah i see it!

Finally never came up with it but it pretty cool i can finally close my messenger while i have IE or Outlook running...

Good Job Patchou! 

Yep, that was a tough one and I'm still on it in fact. If you want to know the exact reason for that... Messengdr Plus! is a software that uses Messenger and that does not unload until Messenger actually unloads itself. That basically means that under a lot of circumstances, using MP2 could just prevent to exit Messenger ever! lol... that's why I had to add this "feature" .

good good i was startying to get anoyed when i had to quickly hide msn

yup thats gr8!

We are already testing and the force-quit doesn't work with me Patchou.

For me, now the two greatest things patchou can do is make the autoupdate appear when there is one and not within 2 minutes... and maybe make it work perfectly with messenger 5 on XP (it doesnt work welll here right?...)

Yeah, there IS something wr'ong with that auto-update function, cause..; well, i don't get an update anymore so now im stuck with crappy version nr 2.008 :x

Exit Messenger, set your PC date ahead, clear your Internet Explorer cache, and restart Messenger to try again...

ppl cant wait about a few days for mp2 to come out. odd

Hi. I'm sorta new here. I've been reading posts and stuff about MP2 since I've been using MP1 for a while now. Anyway I do have a question. December is rapidly coming to a close and I know the front page says MP2 will be released sometime in December. As January approaches I'm wondering if the date of sometime in December still stands or if it will be postponed? If so, do you have an idea when. Or is this more of a "When Its Done" type of thing?

With the new boss protection, if you activated it, do the windows of your contacts still appear or do they still make sound if they sends messages?

there will be 1 version of MP2 for all OS
it will work with every previous version of messenger
it won't work with msngr 5 on xp

this forum still runs on beta software, so the search feature isn't back in full force (too buggy)

Actually, i checked... Mp2 won't work on versions earlier than 4.6...

MP2 is not going to work with messenger 5 on xp? I thought The main reason for MP2 was for it to work on messenger 5.
