MemberHi,
I have developed an add on to MSN messenger called, the EmoPump, which enables users
to send their own emoticons through messenger. The new emoticon will
appear on the user’s window, and will also appear on the other end, if
the EmoPump is running on that machine. Once a new emoticon has been sent
the user on the other end can send it on to other people too.You can get to the screen shots, description and the downloads by visiting my site at
http://www.computerkoushol.com and following the link to EmoPump on the site.Thanks,
Wahid

MemberYeah, I completly understand the download inertia… I would’nt download a thing right away either. But I think apps like mine will put pressure on m$ to add a function which I think is just essential and something that they can do overnight…

ParticipantHeya icsopotash,
Thanks for sharing your add-on with us. I’m assuming a lot of people have anticipated for something of this sort.It’s only Windows Messenger compatible? Shucks. Too bad for the majority of non-XP users. Btw, the newest version of Windows Messenger isn’t 4.6 anymore.

MemberHi…
Thanx. It seems 4.7 is the latest for Windows XP messenger, and 4.6 is for the other window’s versions. Anyway, I’ve checked my app against both and it’s working for both versions.
So as it is, it is dependent on the OS (doesnt run on 98 but runs fine on Win2k and Xp). I am working on a version for Win98 and should be able to put it up by 2/3 days…

MemberIf there was this capablitiy, wouldnt that just make the file size of msn messenger even bigger than it already is ? Many people may find it a chore to download messenger with this feature even if they don’t want it…would be cool if this was an extra feature so that if you want to view different emoticons, you can download a patch or a simple add-on!

Memberhi Phil,
I dont think it will make the download size bigger. The way my app works it includes some emoticons as standard, but the ones u create and send are sent over messenger and added only when u recieve it from a friend of yours. So the original download size can stay small, yet u have this flexibility to send any emoticon your heart desires

Memberahh i get ya! so u only have to add the emoticon when u need to! how very cleva! what a good idea…well maybe if u get this program to circulate, it will become very popular!! go for it!

MemberHey,
I have finally made a version for WINDOWS 98 !! It should work on Me and 95 too..
And learnt a good lesson: always compile your app in the lowest target platform 🙂

MemberYou can download the app from http://www.computerkoushol.com
Hey..VaderX.. Version 5 eh? Life is really hard for add-on makers
Its a race to work hard for free day and night :). Yeah, I am going to work on the new version, I am hoping to make the version adaptation automatic for the app, so that it automatically works for a new version of IM (when there is one). Is there a place I can get the leaked version 5 IM that works? The ones I tried didnt work for me..Take care…
