What's next with MSN Messenger 6?


Recommended Posts

I would like it if it would change color with your current desktop theme, like windows messenger.

And if you could scroll through your text like in irc.

And of course if you could only im people on other im proggys like aol, yahoo, & trill. :(

Besides that it's a very nice step up from the previous version. :)

I noticed a lot of people having problems with the games menu not working and mine doesn't either, but I noticed something.

The address that my Messenger is trying to open is...

http://appdirectory.messenger.msn-int.com/...spx?L=en-ca&k=0

but if I open this address...

http://appdirectory.messenger.msn-int.com/.../Directory.aspx

in Internet Explorer, the menu works and I see all the games listed.

Though nothing works when clicked in the browser.

Is the address in mine wrong? And if so, could it be changed somehow?

But clickin on those in IE doesn't launch anything, but I'd imagin it would work if that was the page MSN Messenger would load.

    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
