Can someone confirm that ad-hack works? The only version of Ad-hack I can find is 5.3 ...the guy's site appears to be down so I can't get 5.4 right now. Does anyone have a mirror by chance?

His new domain is http://www.aimadhack.net/. ;)

EDIT: Yes it is working for me.

re-map my documents folder you say? just for AIM, thereby losing other program functionality.... I believe I will pass on this build for those 3 bugs.

Smiley Showers still broken for me :/

I don't think I like the new Info dialog box though. I feel like the Updates pane takes up too much space, i think i liked it better on the bottom. Or maybe there can be some kind of Hover box that can be implemented only when changes have been made that goes away after a certain period of time after checking info.

Other than that, I like this release. Keep up the good work!

Did they fix the bug or annoying feature where AIM Radio constantly plays when you open the program? Like say it's minimized, then you bring it to the forefront and it plays. Is there an option I have to turn off to make it only play when I manually turn it on? That auto crap is annoying.

:| I hope they plan on using that buddy updates box for a lot more things if they make it take up so much room like that.

It's there for the user to take advantage of. For instance, when someone views my profile, they are presented with the latest updates from my MySpace and my own personal website via RSS:

So I finally got my roommate to switch over from an old AIM 5.2 DeadAIM he was using to the new AIM 6. For some reason, whenever he tries to set an Alias for someone on his buddy list, it just doesn't work. The alias will remain in the Edit Buddy dialog box, but doesn't update on the buddy list. Is anyone else having this issue?

Also, a feature that he really liked in DeadAIM was that if he was away, and someone IMed him, it did not send his away message to the person. Is there any way to implement this feature in AIM 6, or could it possibly be added in the near future?

I finally got him to change, but he's frustrated with it already :)

Thanks

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
