Manson_AAN Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) Hey guys, I was experimenting with MSN plus and the new build of WLM today and I found out that MSN plus (version 3.61.145 and lower) is compatible with WLM but there are certain requirements. 1. MSN Plus version 3.61 and lower will work with the 0562 build of WLM 2. Unfortunately you have to be a beta tester to download the new 0562 build But after you install it, there are certain features that do not work on MSN plus. This includes: Tabbed Contacts Desktop Contacts Custom Sounds Version check Pinging Any text commands Name color codes Extension of Maximum word limit Stuffplug I will add more to this list The rest of the features such as boss protection and msn lock are still working. Unfortunately though, I guess this means the WLM dev. team have stopped working on a new engine, and are just re-using the old MSN Messenger engine.

Guol Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 wow great find...finally i have boss protection back..! but damn that sucks if they're just reverting back to the old msn engine :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGM92 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 nice, I like the new GUI of the beta but without plus it's useless to me. I was wondering if you'd be able to test plugins and see if they work like Stuffplugin etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg098 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 interesting...but should i down grade to that version? Download Msgplus 3.61 here: http://download.msgplus.net/files/MsgPlus-361.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manson_AAN Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hey, I tried with version 2.229 of stuffplug, but it doesn't even seem to appear in the MSN plus preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg098 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Can you still hear custom sounds that people send you? Can you still right click on a contact in the contact window and copy their email address? Can you press ( and have the emoticon panel come up?

Guol Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 well basically all that works is transperancy, boss protection and messenger lock and a few more options.. so basically all plus options to do with the main window and the whole application in general work probably, but any options in the conversation windows don't work at all.. [they probably updated the convo windows engine but used the old main window im guessing] but yeh, i guess if you use stuffplug [and any other plugins] then any options made for the main window should work, but probably not for the convo windows..

Manson_AAN Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 greg, I don't think the custom sounds work, nor do anything that is related to a text command. As for the right clicking, you WLM has an edit contact feature where u can access the e-mail address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Why not v3.62 ?? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchou Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I'm surprised to hear it partially work, if I were you I would use caution (and uninstall it if Messenger starts acting funny). For those of you who wonder about old/new engine, the oposite happened. This new build of Messenger uses many new techniques/files which actually completely broke my current alpha version of Plus! 4. So rest assured that Messenger is evolving, and quite a lot (the new beta requires at least XP SP1 though). Note: version 3.62 was modified to not even try to load in Messenger 8 to avoid problems.

tristantj Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 hope someone will make a fix that color nicknames work :p man that would be coooooool :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm3guy Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Why not v3.62 ?? :( Because, it does a version check, therefore making it impossible to use it unless you made a crack for it or Patchou made a WLM edition of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riahc3 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Using Plus! Tweak you may be able to enable more Plus! features... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeschneider Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I think I'll wait until the version of Messenger Plus Live! comes out so I don't screw anything up with my WLM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
