No more /background errors

Version 3.63 has been released today. The main fix is that it solves * /background: no such file errors. This background error is caused by a fairly significant bug in mIRC 6.3, which the mIRC creator tells me is now fixed for the next version. MSN for mIRC detects if you're using mIRC 6.3 and if you are a workaround is applied. The workaround is however not as good as if the bug didn't exist, so unless you're using Windows Vista I'd still recommend that you use mIRC 6.21. Windows Vista is now fully supported. I've only got access to Windows Vista Basic to test, but if it works on that it should work on any Vista version. Please read the how_to_install text file when you download MSN for mIRC, as the Vista installation has a couple more steps you need to perform over the XP installation. Please click here to post any comments you may have on this version. Also note that you can use the inbuilt comments system in MSN for mIRC, accessible from the MSN for mIRC control panel, to send me comments directly. Any input is very much appreciated.

Bug Fix

I've just taken MSN for mIRC up to v3.61. This version fixes a bug whereby you couldn't use any of the buttons built into the side of chat windows. You should now be able to use the buttons, including "Send a File or Photo". Thanks to 'xyz' for pointing this bug out to me via email. If anyone else spots any bugs, please let me know either by personal email, the forum or the built in comments system. carvell, 3rd January 2007

New Version

There is a new version of MSN for mIRC out, version 3.60! I've listened to people's comments and I'm pleased to announce the following fixes/new features in version 3.60: - A new way of authenticating with Passport servers, meaning no more:                 *** Connecting...                 *** Authorising via SSL... (this may take a while)                 *** Disconnected - The contact list now shows when a user is blocked, along with their current status (something the official client doesn't do!). - Fixed how sometimes when someone signed in, "User has signed in" would appear multiple times. - Added /msn.say command.  '/msn.say help' for usage guide. - MSN for mIRC will no longer freeze if you try to talk to or block someone with < or > in their name. - You can talk to people when you have blocked them (they can also reply to you). - Various minor bug fixes. Download version 3.60 from the left.  You are strongly recommended to download mIRC 6.20 from here, as SSL support in earlier versions of mIRC is very bad. I'd really appreciate your comments on the new version on the forum (no need to register). Have fun! carvell, 2nd November 2006

Another Minor Update

Version 3.50 has just been released - download it on the left. The latest fixes are listed below: - /sockwrite errors eliminated - Problems with $decode and mIRC v6.17 eliminated - Continuous "user has left the conversation" messages in chat windows fixed Coming Soon: - /msn.say command, allows you to send messages to MSN contacts through mIRC scripts - Support for personal messages carvell, 4th March 2006

Solution to /sockwrite 'msn' not connected (line 144, msn.mrc)

The MSN server that MSN for mIRC uses has been taken offline. I'm not entirely sure why this is, but the problem can be fixed by typing: /set %msn.server messenger.hotmail.com in mIRC, and then reconnecting to MSN for mIRC. The new version, downloadable on the left, does not have this problem. If you are not comfortable typing commands into mIRC, then simply download and install version 3.46 from the left. carvell, 10th July 2005
