Dll name: msn.dll
Author: PCJ
Version: 1.0
Compatibility : MSN Messenger 6.2 and up

Usage :

$dll(msn,1,x,)

where x is a number :
1 ? Display your msn username

This function sends to your LCD various events from msn messenger when:

$dll(msn,20,,)

Display informations about the plugin.

Here is my custom display (4x20):

Code: Select all

Line 1:$dll(msn.dll,1,1,) 
Line 2:Unread mails: $dll(msn.dll,1,3,) 
Line 3:My Status:$dll(msn.dll,1,4,) 
Line 4:$dll(msn.dll,2,,)

In development:
-Display the current users online
-Display the total blocked contacts
-Display how many mails you have outside your Inbox
-Show who has logged in or out

Feel free to post plugin bugs or suggestions or feedbacks.

This looks awesome, I was wondering when someone was going to make a messenger plugin.

Not to sound ungrateful, but a AIM plugin would be nice. I messed around with it before, but not enough time and it looks rather complicated.

I don't really know AIM because I don't use it but I will try to make a plugin

That would be great. Are you using API??

Copy this file to the same folder as msn.dll (LCDSmartie's plugin folder) and let me know if it works

chief · Post by **chief** » May 5th, 2005, 11:04 pm

looks like im the only who can use it. I will leave this project for a while and work on it later. I will probably reprogram the whole dll :/

Which version of MSN Mesenger are you using?

I get the "No bridge error" on MSN 7

Post by **IFR** » May 7th, 2005, 8:07 am

6.2 but the problem seems to come from the interop.MessengerAPI.dll which might to be registered. But im not sure i tried to register with regsvr32 and it gives an error. Im kinda busy to work on it right now...

It does not work with trillian

Post by **IFR** » May 13th, 2005, 10:20 pm

Not sure how or why it works because all i have done is follow the instructions and download the extra file, i was having the original not functioning error but after putting the extra file in there it works a treat

Maybe it has to do with the .net framework.

I'm downloading it now, I got the error before, I'll post back after the 23MB download completes and I install it. Hopefully this'll work

Damn, no dice

After much yelling and cursing and swearing, I decided to check the forums as to why this damned thing doesn't work. I am running up to the bleeding edge on my software (XP Pro SP2, MSN Messenger 7.5, latest .Net framework). So what's the deal, any luck fixing this yet? I would certainly love to have this work on Messenger 7.5.

First off thanks for being interested into my plugin. However this plugin is really buggy as you can see and I temporarily stop working on it and even other plugins beacause I lack of time.

No go for me either.
