Boost character limit even further script? by riahc4 on 03-27-2009 at 07:27 PM
Hey
Would it be possible to boost character limit even further than the limatation removed in Plus! ? From what I understand, it would become unstable (sending messages) but I think a few extra hundred (and of course under our own consequences) wouldnt hurt.

i dont think there is a script that could do that... but it could be done in the next release of msg plus. i dont think it will be done though. i personally would love it if the character limit was boosted to 5000 like in sutffplug.

I was not aware of this protocol change. When did it happen?
Holy memories, didnt remember I already requested this/talked about this.
The NudgesToolsScript also "abuses" the system but it has its good purposes as well. I personally plan on using this to send conversations I have with other contacts to other contacts. It is stupid to open up Word, copy/paste, save, and send it to my other contact, which we are hoping has Word. I think extending the limit should be under the responsibility of the user sending the message if it arrives or not (talking about if this feature is stable or not)

Text exceeding X characters will be automatically sent as a .txt file to your contact. This does not require your contact to have any third-party programs installed, as Notepad is already available in Windows. This has been implemented by Messenger Plus! and has nothing to do with how Messenger's protocol works on the server.
Moreover, Microsoft Word is used by millions of users, so don't you worry, the majority has it, and they're not stupid/ignorant enough, for them not to know how to use it.

Notepad doesnt support formatting.

Yeah, solving the problem of the character limit with a solution that has no limitations for any user is so dumb. You are the dumb one.

@riahc4: On a side note, Would RTF and Wordpad be fine for you, Mr Picky?
