RE: compatibility with MSNP14?
32 = Yahoo
1 = Normal (.net passport/Live ID)

But I also have a "Name changed: 2". It's from a @microsoft.com address (Microsoft employee). So I guess that indentifies another kind of service.
Finish the problem

Every contact name in the contact list didn't change, only informations in MP!L changed(Contact Info, Event Viewer).

Anyone have same problem like me?


Confirmed.

I was just about to bug report this. I havn't check my event logs, so have only seen tabbed chats & Desktop contacts show nicknames as "1"

RE: compatibility with MSNP14?
I have added myself into my contact list, and I also have myself as a desktop contact.

That explains why my desktop contact name is "1"...

RE: compatibility with MSNP14?
I'm guessing its because in the commands sent in the protocol involving contacts, such as status changes etc, an extra value has been added, the number specifying the contact type, which is where previously was the email address of the contact, hence why it is always showing the 1 or 32

that's not a bug, thats an unexpected feature

RE: compatibility with MSNP14?
This also breaks scripts using the Messenger.MyName prperty.

code:
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message,MessageKind)
{
    Debug.trace (Origin);
    Debug.trace (Messenger.MyName);
}
Sending a message with this script running that, i get this:
quote:
Richard
1
(my WLM name is 'Richard')
This means any script using it like in this example:
code:
if(Origin != Messenger.MyName)
wil be affected.

RE: compatibility with MSNP14?
I got the same issue oddly enough it only happens to me when my contact sets his or her status to away or be right back, is then when the name change to 1 for normal msn/wlm contacts and 32 for yahoo contacts like it got described on above posts.

But well this bug is kinda normal that appeared after all Patchou didn't had a way to check how msn plus will work with the yahoo operability since it wasn't available at the time he was working on the first release of the Messenger Plus Live. :P
