Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by Patchou on 11-01-2003 at 08:57 PM

Hello,

A new version of Messenger Plus! has just been released, again :). I carefully read all the bug reports you sent me since the release of version 2.50 and I did my best to make this new version a more reliable product. This patch also contains new translations and some improvements in features such as the Scheduler.

Enjoy!
Patchou

My reported bugs aren't fixed:
Bug: "Previous" button in Installation Package
Bug: Insulting Word Game
Bug: Dialog Insulting Word Game (but this is just a minor small thing)

:(


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by lylesback2 on 11-01-2003 at 10:04 PM

i like the new scheduler option, it displays 3 times, eevry 3 min (Y) and stops with right click (for people who don't know) now if im away to get a drnk and miss something, i won't miss it :D


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by reisyboy on 11-01-2003 at 10:15 PM

RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by bach_m on 11-01-2003 at 11:35 PM

great job. works perfectly.

in the scheduler, when i put in a description, it greys out the status. shoun't that happen only for path??? and when i put a path, nothing happens for the status. that seems wierd.....


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by volkl on 11-01-2003 at 11:37 PM

:D awesome work patch :banana:


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by theguy on 11-01-2003 at 11:47 PM

I dunno what it looks like patch. the installer won't run for me. i'll probably reboot and see if it will work. it probably rocks.

Indeed a bug! It should also gray out when you put in a 'path'...
(btw: 'description' is not actually a discription of the notification, it's more like: 'text that should display')
see this thread for another (kinda) bug in Schedular...

RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by Patchou on 11-02-2003 at 03:36 AM

it's not a bug.. you can't add a schedule without either a description or a status :p

Guess they would like to do it with out that limitation.

P.S.

The version thing in Messenger Plus! would be better like this:

Windows Version: %version%
MSN Messenger Version: %version%
Windows Messenger Version: %version%
Messenger Plus! Version: %version%

Maybe checking if it's that latest version and telling if it is or isn't would be nice to.
RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by user2319 on 11-02-2003 at 08:43 AM

at ben_b > I think (but am not completely sure) that it just checks "oh, you have msn msg running!" or "oh, you have windows msg running!" and then says: "MSN / windows messenger version: xxx.xx.xx" And if you're running MSN Msg, then the windows messenger version wouldn't be useful when asking for help :-/

checking if it's the latest version might be considered as 'spying' and it would cost resources... and,  we have the auto-update, and at IRC we always say "Are you sure you've got the latest :plus2: version?"


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by HiChaM on 11-02-2003 at 09:31 AM

Patchou,

Do you think that there could be a menu that pops up when you type '/' to type a command? just like the menu that pops up when you type '(' for the emoticons? It'd be easier then having the remember all of the commands off by heart - i have to keep checking them...

Cheers,

RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by Mippo on 11-02-2003 at 02:51 PM

Great job Patch.... :)

When I and KnightieBoy were having an insult fight the other day, the insult popup didn't popup on KnightieBoy's computer... I don't know any details or Plus! version but it was kinda weird... Ask KnightieBoy for some details, I guess :P

Ok good... but if it needs to be installed 3 times to let it work right, then I guess there's still something wrong in Plus! itsself... :-/

Hmm... Patchou... your server seems to be down or something... I can't download msgplus directly from your site. :undecided:

However, I can actually get to the site.

Edit: downloaded from a mirror. Great work as usual, Patchou! :D


RE: RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by krisgreen65 on 11-02-2003 at 06:56 PM


go to menu Plus! > send command


yeh, but i meant so that you dont have to click - Plus makes it easier to navigate Messenger without hardly using the mouse.... it would be an option if people want it - i'd find it elpful anyway - n e one else?

No. Busy means busy. Nothing happens in busy. No toasts, no sounds, no popups. :P

Patchou did you fix my bugs yet what were on Page 4 of this topic yet. :) Just curious cause its getting real annoying when im in full screen applications/games. :P

Thanks in advance, great work! :D

RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by Patchou on 11-07-2003 at 08:03 PM

I currently have no good way of fixing this, I just suggest you to change your status to Busy before you start playing a game :)

Patchou


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by CoReDooM on 11-08-2003 at 02:36 PM

damn that is the only annoying bug...ah well. Thats life. :p

RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by ben_b on 11-09-2003 at 04:26 PM

How about a built in block check with Messenger Plus! notification window that says "*Display name or e-mail* just signed and is blocking you." or something like that?

P.S.
Patchou  check your e-mails (both translator address and normal address).


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by bach_m on 11-09-2003 at 04:39 PM

no. there will never be a block checker. (but if u know how, the event loger can help ;))

Buddy you need to explain more.
RE: Messenger Plus! 2.51 is already here! by bach_m on 11-09-2003 at 05:05 PM

Patchou will never add a block checker. if someone bloacks you, then thats their business. its not for you to know that they have.

but Lylesback found a way to use the event log windows to figure out he was blocked.
