Just a couple observations …
5.5.37 sucks!
DeadAIM, AIMulation, and the like are overrated.
I would like to see an AIM clone bulit ground-up. Okay this way you can avoid all of AOL’s crap. DeadAIM is an add-on, it utilizes the stock aim and just changes things around, anyone understand what I am saying?
Weather the next generation of DeadAIM components are ground up, or add on, I would like to see something as PyBoticide infused with it. PyBoticide has came from heaven! The only flaw is that is kind of annoying to have a Python Shell up whenever you want to go into a chat room. That or it would be nice if it were coded in C++ or something, so that it could be minimized and easier to load. Another problem with PyBoticide is that it cuts off Direct Connection ability.
Finally does anyone remember how to hex AIM so that you can have two or more clients open at the same time? I know with 5.5.3 you can have a few screen names linked, but sometimes it just makes more sense if you can have a couple different clients up.
This was kinda mentioned in another topic, about building a whole different client, but it was said that not enough is known about the OSCAR protocol.
I’m sure someone very intelligent, or an AOL defecto knows about Oscar.

Maybe David meant that HE did not know enough about the OSCAR protocol, because if the OSCAR protocol was so uberly secret, how come that clients as Trillian and Gaim are able to connect to a server with that protocol? Do you think they pay AOL for it? 😉

Him and WhiteMateria said that. Fourth one down.

No, what I was saying is that nobody knows that much of the protocol to make a fully reliable AIM client, Trillian sucks with Direct Connections and File transfer for example. Sure we know a lot of the protocol, but not enough to make a full-featured AIM client yet.
My comments?
Downgrade to AIM 5.2.3292 (3.0 MB) so that you do not have the buggy direct connection problem. That is the true reason you cannot connect because 5.5 is in fact buggy!
PyBoticide is a ‘localhost’ proxy able to work for any AIM client that connects using OSCAR such as Trillian, gaim, AIM, etc. Please don’t incorperate it to something just for AOL’s official IM program.
Python is kinda an easy programming language but if you wanna revert it to C be our guest. Only 3 things need to happen for that…
– Inform RyuMaster007 on AIM about it…
– Keep it open source!
– Keep it free!are you kidding? you know how hard that would be (for me) to do that in C!?no way I could do that for free
pluss I dont have C I program in C++ only
Back to my third point, does anyone remember how to hex AIM so you can have two clients on simultaneously?

OK, don’t do it then. Who said it had to be you anyway? Props to the creator.

Hey, why don’t you ask that in every post you make, maybe someone will notice. Oh I’m sorry you already are. [:o]
Props to the one who finally answers this one. Oh, wait…thats here. – kinda useless now ain’t it?
