The hashing of the cached map.dat (or what was that name of that file)? You don't have to touch it, let MSN Messenger do the work. Or do you mean some other hash?

Not if you don't have any cached DP's; If Messenger can't find the DP then the actyal DP is also requested. So deleting your previously stored DP's will solve this.

No you wont, Messenger will store it and show it itself because it will think it IS actually the DP of your contact...



Make a proxy, intercept the recieving of the actual DP's. Convert the DP and inject the new converted DP back into the packet-stream to MSN Messenger, let MSN Messenger do the rest.



I might be missing something though (too tired)...

thats why SPNG's oversize feature should be only given to trusted contacts and people that know they shouldnt put anything bigger than 300x300 - 350x350

i thought that proxies are not allowed or disabled in msn 7?

no, its just that they work different. thats why md cant work

I think there should be an option to limit display pic sizes to whatever size you choose. Like rather than 96x96 if, say, I wanted to limit them to 100x200, so if the image is between 96x96 and 100x200 the frame would go to the size of the picture, but if it's larger than 100x200 it'd scale it down. There could also be the option to preserve aspect ratio, so that if it was, say 200x200, but your limit was 100x200, it'd resize ot to 100x100 so that the image isn't distorted or whatever.

I doubt anyone will disable the "keep aspect ratio". Who wants a distored DP to look at?

Anyways, this plugin is very difficult to make and most likely will never be made because of that, so don't hope on it...
