| j0k3r | I wanna start writing some stuff for MSN (for my own use) and I was wondering if anyone had the source code (for 6.0 or otherwise) that I could learn off. I haven't found anything through search engines yet (maybe I just suck). | August 1, 2003, 11:22 PM |
| CupHead | MSN's protocol is largely (all?) string-based, if I recall correctly. I'm not sure about the details of the connection, but there are a number of people on these forums who have written MSN clients that you may want to ask (Skywing). | August 2, 2003, 12:20 AM |
| j0k3r | Well anyone care to enlighten me? All I really need is some source to study I'm looking mostly at making an auto responder, and some other stuff if I can think of it while looking through some of the coding. | August 2, 2003, 12:43 AM |

| j0k3r | Well I don't even know what that is. By "All I really need is some source to study" I was referring to MSN source, I don't need much (if any) explanation on what things do. | August 2, 2003, 1:42 AM |
| iago | Only microsoft has the source.. unless you count the Assembly source, in which case you already have it. | August 2, 2003, 2:29 AM |
| j0k3r | That's odd I thought I had seen it before... How do people make programs to interact with MSN if they don't know MSN's functions and whatnot? | August 2, 2003, 2:34 AM |
| iago | The way way I write a program that people write programs that interact with Starcraft and Diablo ii... reverse engineering, I would assume. Maybe the source IS out there, but I seriously doubt the official source is. | August 2, 2003, 3:25 AM |

| j0k3r | [me=j0k3r]toasts drive happy[/me] I believe I was here before, but didn't look too carefully due to my frustration. Edit: Hey what do you know, it's like 4 years old... | August 2, 2003, 1:39 PM |

| j0k3r | [quote] Well I don't even know what that is. [/quote] Never used one, couldn't find one on google/yahoo to see what it is, still don't know what it is... [me=j0k3r]heads dictionary.com[/me] If you can still recommend a program/send me one that would be great. | August 3, 2003, 9:33 PM |

| j0k3r | That helps some, but I don't understand how the packets will help me learn the code for it, I took a look and could make out some stuff but almost nothing, anything I should know? | August 5, 2003, 2:29 AM |

[/quote] You will have to use your intuition. Keep looking at the packets until you understand how it all fits together. If there are certain parts of a packet that you don't understand, try looking that up somewhere, or ask about that particular part here. You should be able to figure out 75% without trouble. | August 6, 2003, 12:23 PM |
