Current Version: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by Patchou on 04-22-2004 at 10:03 PM

Hello everyone,

the public version of Messenger Plus! has just been updated to 2.54.75 to support MSN Messenger 6.2. Everything is working fine except for the fact that emoticons cannot be used in conjunction with commands or special tags anymore (because of the fact that MSN Messenger 6.2 replaces emoticon codes by emoticon graphics while you type your messages). Of course, this problem will be solved in Messenger Plus! 3.

Please post replies to this thread if you encounter any problem with the latest version. It is very important that I am being kept informed of any problem, and thus, as soon as possible. Due to the special "emergency" situation, auto-update has already been enabled and I don't want to cause more problems that I'll solve by updating my users :).

Download Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 at: http://download.msgplus.net/files/msgplus-setup.exe

Thank you,
Patchou

GREAT JOB PATCHOU... i would have worried, but i knew u would come through


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by MaTrIX2k2 on 04-22-2004 at 10:07 PM

Thak u so much, I hope with Plus! 3 we can disable that nasty feature of replacing the text with emoticons while typing, and keep doing that great job, also I'm finishing my lessons of programing in C and C++, I wish I could help you one day.


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by .blade// on 04-22-2004 at 10:15 PM

The only reason I am installing 6.2 is bcz I know I will be annoyed by that stupid thing @ the top of the window that says "A newer version of MSN is available" :P So thx Patchou!


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by kingboy on 04-22-2004 at 10:16 PM

Fast!:D Nice work!


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by extrodity on 04-22-2004 at 10:17 PM

Just got to get msn messenger working (:wall:) and all will be fine

RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by warmth on 04-22-2004 at 11:06 PM

Thanks about that...

WAITING FOR MP3! :D


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by Triple8 on 04-22-2004 at 11:12 PM

Thnx That was fast :D


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by Choli on 04-22-2004 at 11:13 PM

wow!! that was fast, patchou... :P

I hope we, beta testers & translators, can get a version of plus 3 with that fix too ('cause we can't use our plus with 6.2 now :P)


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by jameseuk on 04-22-2004 at 11:19 PM

shouldnt this thread be in annoucements and news?,

Anyway well done Patch, I now have a reason to install MSN Messenger 6.2 :)

1) Clear your browser cache
2) Close your browser (some browsers need this step to fully clear the cache)
3) Restart your browser and try again...

RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by sonicadvance1 on 04-22-2004 at 11:47 PM

Heh, GJ patch, you did a fast update


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by kingboy on 04-22-2004 at 11:47 PM

i think cause you got a file(2.54.0.74) in your cache. And when you try and dl it again, it copies from the cache to where ever you save it. Try cleaning your cache then d/l it again


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by Maniac on 04-22-2004 at 11:48 PM

Thnx for the quick update, but i have a slight problem, i used to have a futuristic skin on my msn, and since it made me update msn (forced me to go to 6.1.0211) the skin wont work anymore, and i cant find a new version on mess.be where i originally got it from, anyone know where i can get it? (btw, its part of the msn x, so if someone knows where i can get msn x 6.2 ...)

RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by dotNorma on 04-23-2004 at 12:19 AM

That was super fast! Will there be in Messenger Plus! 3 the possibility to disable this auto-change emoticon code to emoticon thing (if of course it is possible) , I think this kind of thing is horribly annoying :P


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by Maniac on 04-23-2004 at 12:29 AM

Hmmmm.... after downloading the new version i put on msn 6.2 then installed it, bt my msn went crazy with wacky errors, for example it opened a chat window wth Debug.Window (wtf) then kept crashing my whole computer, i now uninstaleld everything and went back to 6.1 with the previous plus!.... :(


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by bungleMX on 04-23-2004 at 12:40 AM

hi can anyone give os the link to the new msn 6.2 ? in the homepage of msn was just for some minutes the orange page with msn 6.2 in the title, buy the file to download was the same 6.1 old one, and then return the old page too...
well thats was at least in msn pages form mexico, usa and UK

see you,

PS Patchou, thats was a ver fast response given us the new version os plus even after msn comes out

PSS, sorry about my english


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by qune on 04-23-2004 at 01:32 AM

biggest regards patchou...


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by Patchou on 04-23-2004 at 02:02 AM

wow... very bad.. I'll have to check this out.
As for updating, the simplest way is th click "Check for Updates" in the about box. The new version will be detected and downloaded properly :).


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by bach_m on 04-23-2004 at 02:06 AM

is there gonna be an update for the Plus!3 beta testers?


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by Jacob264 on 04-23-2004 at 02:26 AM

When i Downloaded that Plus and It give me a Weird Blue Thing how can i rid of it! :@


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by ind3nt on 04-23-2004 at 02:29 AM

Mine didnt update it says compatibility issues and it is the 2.54.75 version :S


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by bungleMX on 04-23-2004 at 02:40 AM

newest plus is working good on new messenger 6.2
at least for me
the only so very bad news is that i was expecting deluxe display pictures can be gif animated pictures, and they dosen move!!
hehe maybe is becouse the other guys hasen't the update yet,
but even in my own screen the avatar doesn't moves!!!
or im i wrong?


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by frog on 04-23-2004 at 02:47 AM

animated display pictures was taken out of the picture a long time ago

good job patch!


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by bungleMX on 04-23-2004 at 02:50 AM

RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by Varish on 04-23-2004 at 02:57 AM

Great job Patchou.....that was amazinley fast. My MSN Crashed at first (my heart skipped a few times) but then after a reboot, all worked fine. Keep up the good work.


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by lethalman on 04-23-2004 at 02:59 AM

all downloads are wrong thay are not  2.54.75  thare all
2.54.74 even tryed on mess be to the same ,plus i testing some more sites with it just comes up with 2.54.74 .thanks


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by techtips_forum on 04-23-2004 at 03:13 AM

Was getting worried for a second that i had to wait for Messenger Plus 3 for 6.2 to work with Plus


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by zif on 04-23-2004 at 03:24 AM

Does anyone have another link to Plus v2.54.75?

Myself and a friend have downloaded the file from http://download.msgplus.net/files/msgplus-setup.exe several times and it's always been v2.54.74 that we've received.  The friend had never even been to the site before, so there's no way he had an old version in his cache.


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by lethalman on 04-23-2004 at 03:29 AM

Translators will probally get it as soon as beta testers get a new beta too that should fix all things broken in Plus! 3 under MSN 6.2.

Agreed, but I think Patchou had his own reason not to put this thread in annoucements & news.
Perhaps he wanted people could see the plus! 3's progress :).
But I don't know :tongue:

give some time to the creator of the skin to update it to the new version 6.2 ;)

you installed the optional sponsor program that comes with plus. Read carefully this thread, understand it and follow what's said there and you'll be able to get rid of the sponsor easyly. If you still have problems, feel free to report them to us and provide as much info as you can. Thanks.

Whenever there is a new build of MSN Messenger, everything (patches, addons, skins, etc...) needs an update, so be patient and check the sites regulary ;)

That's actually a plugin for Messenger Plus! that's screwing up. It's the Song2Nick-plugin...

Weird Blue Thing? Do you mean a searchbar on your desktop? That's actually the optional sponsor that you've installed. You can choose to not install the sponsor though... To not install it, you have to choose "not agree, install plus! without the sponsor" in the second setup-screen... To uninstall it, read http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=21598

Yep, you're wrong...  Deluxe Display Picture are part of a 3rd party addon, named Messener PowerPlus... It was never gonna be included in MSN Messenger in the first place. That's a rumour that was spread by the newssites. (refer here)

maybe you have enabled "Override text format". You can disable it going in the preferenced or in the plus menu of the chat windows
RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by Wick on 04-23-2004 at 10:16 AM

Hehe :). I like how everyone helps eachother here. It's great :D.

Patchou ! Great job on the quick update ! I saw the good news at mess.be :) !

I didn't think MSN Messenger 6.2 was gonna be released, cos they ain't updated the MSN Messenger site yet :S...luckily I found the download for it at mess.be :)

Looking forward to the Messenger Plus! 3 Update !! :D


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by Wabz on 04-23-2004 at 12:13 PM

Hey, just a quick thing, I only started using encryption for chat logs just now but when I encrypt them only the ones for this month are encrypted not previous months. I don’t know if this is a bug or deliberate but I thought it should be brought to your attention, as I would love for all the messages to be encrypted, keep up the good work and I look forward to MP3

only the logs in the log folder are encrypted. if the logs of previous months are stored inside another folder, plus won't touch them. Put all them in the log folder and enable encryption ;)

I dont know if this has been discuss already, because I dont want to read 7 pages, hehe.
I am posting this because I read the quoted text at mess.be about the problem for Plus 2.
you can still read the text if you use the IAccessible interface.
for example you will read "Smiley" for ":) image " , "Nerd smiley" for "8-) image" so it can solve your problem for now.

RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by Nemesis on 04-25-2004 at 02:57 PM

Just wondering if this is like a bug of this version, but with all the /text here commands when you write a message after it and put an emot there too, when the emot is posted, only the text is shown..

E.g. /comeon Hahah:p

it comes out as Hahah

it didn't used to do this before...

RE: Messenger Plus! 2.54.75 by Wick on 04-25-2004 at 11:56 PM

Hehe. I noticed that also. Nice of Patchou to tell us that in case everyone started complaining about why the emoticons aren't working :P.

I have something to say...probably answered/dealt with already....

When you set your own status (e.g. Eating Dinner), I discovered that, if you send a message, the emoticons in your name don't show....
