MSN Messenger for mIRC

Not sure how easy it will be, but I'll look into it.

Because of the funny way windows like that work in mIRC, you need to change the chat window font in the MSN for mIRC control panel.

Type:

/msncontrol

Then click "Chat Window Font" and you should be able to set it there.

I've released a new version that hopefully fixes these problems, please see the home page: http://www.burningimage.net/msn

I've identified what could be causing this and a new version will be released soon.

Hi legarcy, thanks for getting in touch. Points 1 and 3 are almost certainly down to the same problem. If you have a chat window open the script tries to maintain its connection to the chat server. I will change this now though so that a connection is only renegotiated once you type something. This ...

Something else that may have happened... When you extract the zip file, you need to make sure you extract all folders that are inside the zip file. There is a folder in there called 'msn' - this may have not been extracted to your temporary folder. There are also folders inside the msn folder, these...

Sounds odd to me! Your autoconnects are nothing to do with MSN for mIRC - the script isn't able to even read them let alone accidently delete them! I've just tested it on a clean mIRC on windows XP and it installed fine. Are you using a clean mIRC, without any other scripts or addons? One of those c...

I've just tested the installer on windows 7 (I'll be able to test it on windows xp tomorrow) and it appears to be working fine. A way for you to solve this problem would be to manually copy listfiles.dll from C:\temp\msnirc\msn\dll\ to 'C:\DOCUME~1\COMPAQ~1.YOU\APPLIC~1\mIRC\msn\dll\. You may need t...

Could you try this new version and let me know if it works please? I've not updated the site to point to the new version yet - I'd like you to check it works first!

Thanks

Hmm thanks. I'll investigate it further now.

Seems to be working for me.

What are you doing in order to change your nick?

Also, can you type:
/set %msn.debug 1

then try to change your nickname again, then paste to me the contents of the @Messenger window?

This will help me fix it.

Thanks!

Can you give this a try. Press Alt-R in mIRC and go to View > msn.mrc When in there press Ctrl-G and go to line 363. You should see this: if ($gettok(%msn.data,3,32) == RL) { .timer 1 1 msnconfirmadduser $gettok(%msn.data,5,32) $gettok(%msn.data,6-,32) } Change it to: if ($gettok(%msn.data,3,32) == ...

It's the dll source that's the important bitthat may be broken. Unfortunately without the cource code of the dll noone will be able to help.

They're wrong!

Look up the MSNP8 protocol, as used by Windows Messenger (not Live Messenger). This still works and doesn't use XML.

Excellent. To have the main MSN window appear on the desktop, you need to change line 87 from: window -l50k0nSz @Messenger %msn.messenger.font $shortfn($scriptdir) $+ /msn.ico to: window -dl50k0nSz @Messenger %msn.messenger.font $shortfn($scriptdir) $+ /msn.ico and line 90 from: window -l50k0Sz @Mes...
