Just tried on os3.9 BB2

Will connect, but not displaying contacts in the window???

Why?

Thats one of the last two major bugs I'm trying to work out.

1. It doesnt connect every time when you try to connect. Sometimes you need to retry 3-4 times in a row before it works.

2. The contacts list arent displayed in full (or at all) sometimes. Again, reconnecting 2-3 seems to fix it most of the time.

Once those two issues are solved, I'll probably announce v1.0. At the moment its still in alpha! Well, actually, its probably pretty "beta" now, but I guess it doesnt matter what I name it. :)

The feedback I've received seems relatively evenly split between "it works!" and "it freezes!" .. I'm happy when I hear of it working for another user.

I'll have to do a MorphOS compile over the next few days. I'll rope someone into testing with me later, because I'll be cross compiling, no MOS machine to test it on, just like with WookieChat development :)

Btw guys, if the software works well for you, and you have paypal... donations are always welcome. I hate to hold out the hand here, but we had several bills come in over the last 2-3 weeks and we're struggling to pay off the overdraft and credit card we used to cover them. I wont ask again, as I realise it this type of request is annoying. :)

Thanks guys.

It has been ported, but its command line only unfortunately. I wonder how hard it would be to hack a GUI on top of it? I was able to form a GUI around SDL_Mixer years ago, took about 3 days of disjointed coding to get 99% of the work done. :)

Just tried to connect again several times. Still says it is connected, but my MSN contacts do not show up in the window??

Does it show your existing contacts, or do you have to add them again?

If I try to add a contact (by typing in their email address) after I press ok the requester goes away and the contact list still shows nothing.

Multiview will show .gif .png .jpg
Amissl is installed
and MUI is also installed.

What I can't see is the icon for the main program. What must I have to see it in the Work Bench window?

Hope this info is helpfull!

PS:
As soon as I get it working I will donate via PayPal.

The stack size might not be high enough. I've reuploaded an archive with an icon thats compatible with OS3 and has a correct (or maybe even overkill) stack size. Also, this archive has IFF ILBM emoticons and white backgrounds for the main smileys too. The exe is unchanged from the previoius release though.

Also, some users might like to download the new IFF ILBM smiley set separately:
