alrite, well i kno quite a bit about computers in most cases, but not so much about programming, so could sumone perhaps explain to me wuts meant by "client" and "protocol", and why it is that we can edit the client but not the protocol. thanks
"Protocol" is the way the that msn messenger "talks" to each other... They have a limited set of "Words" they can "speak" to each other, and understand, and in this protocol the "set name" part is limited to 129 characters....
The client is the program it self, the msnmsgsr.exe file you have on your computer and is running, this client then communicates with other users and the msn messenger main server using the protocol....
So if we would have to do this "remove limit of nickname" we would have to use a "proxy"(a program that sits between the client and the msn messenger server) and then send some "fake" information to the other user, and that user would also need to have this "proxy" in order for us to make it understand the "fake" information... then we would be able to send long nicknames....
But maybe, i'm not sure, then the client(the program it self) is also limited to only show 129 characters as the nickname, if this is the case then we can't really do much about it(dunno if it's possible with ASM Hacking), but if this is not the case then this project would be possible....
We can edit the client by putting some more codes in it, or changing some parts in it or whatever....
But you cannot change the "protocol" since this is how the clients communicates with eachother, but we could use "proxy" to make a "fake" part/extra protocol "words"....
Enough info????
