...Operations that deal with reading from or writing to disk are faster than operations that deal with memory...

I think you meant this the other way around. Operations that deal with disk are slower than operations that deal with memory.

Thanks for the info, vex. I also thought that they changed the guid of the cracked ocx so you could have the standard ocx and cracked ocx both registered at the same time. I can use Vincula and standard msn chat at the same time so I'm pretty sure this is right. Of course, there could be more than one version of a cracked ocx floating around.

June 14, 2005

I have not studied this deeply, but it appears to me that the ocx comes to life by having it's guid referenced in a web page that the script navigates to. If this is so, the information on the location of the ocx is in the registry (it gets set when the ocx is registered).

So, in order to get rid of the ocx you would have to take out all references to it in the web page navigations.

It is also my understanding (but I am not certain) that the ocx is used during the signon/authorization process. If that is true, then you would have to add equivalent code into the script if you remove the ocx from the process.

If I'm wrong about all this you can smack me , but maybe it will help your search.

I've made a few mods that might be helpful to others also.

1) In the nicklist right-click menu I made the nicks displays as decoded, since the un-decoded one's appear as just mush. There are a bunch of lines like

View $1 $+ 's Profile { prop $2 $1 PUID }

which I changed to

View $msn.decode($1) $+ 's Profile { prop $2 $1 PUID }

2) I prefer to see profiles in a separate browser window so in the raw 818 handling, right after the echo line, I added

   ; show profile in separate browser
   %msnc.stoppropend = $true
   /run "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" chat.msn.com/profile.msnw?epuid= $+ $4-
   haltdef
   halt
  ;

Of course my browser name is hard-coded, but this could be a setup option if you think it's worth adding.

3) In the cOld stalk3r room search I made the script handle spaces in the room name, where originally you had to edit the spaces into \b by hand. I changed the sockwrite on line 3772 from

.sockwrite -tn csu.s.* WHO $did(csu,2).text

to

.sockwrite -tn csu.s.* WHO $replace($did(csu,2).text, $chr(32), \b)

4) Also in cOld stalk3r I made it show the decoded nicks. Lines 3962 and 3970 start with

did -a csu 1 $8

and I changed them to

did -a csu 1 $msn.decode($8)

Thanks again for making this script available.

This one seems harmless. I think it's because I have not joined any groups.

* /loadbuf: unable to open 'C:\Program Files\mIRC\groupadd.txt' (line 2065, vincula.mrc)

It happens during passport update, and possibly on startup also.

June 3, 2005

I've found a strange one. Text is displayed fine from ops, but text from a non-op is preceeded with my passport password!

For example, a normal line should look like

[00:17] <Jimmy> hello Bro

but instead I see

[00:17] <my_passwordJimmy> hello Bro

The problem happens at line 3327 of the script:

if (%p == $left(%n,1)) unset %p

After the 'unset' the variable %p, when used in an echo, displays my password.

As an experiment I changed the line to

if (%p == $left(%n,1)) %p = $left(%p,0)

and then things displayed properly.

This same thing occurs in a few other places in the script. I'm sure it's not happening for you because you would have seen it. I'm still on mIRC 6.12 in case that has a bearing on it.

At any rate, if no one else is having this issue I'll just fix my local copy and there's no need for you to do anything, but I felt I should at least report it.

June 3, 2005

what is this ---> <my password> ?? looks like you have some script that's interfering with nuclear.

I'm not one to post my passwords in public, so I replaced each occurance of my real password in the script with "<my_password>". At this point, the new Vincula NGen is working for me so I'll stick with that.

Thanks to all for your help.

June 3, 2005

FYI - NGen works for me! No other Vincula I have works, so hats off to you for getting the magic words. It burped a bit at the beginning, but after the passports were updated and restarting mIRC it seems to work great. Thanks!

June 2, 2005

Dudes - I have updated the passport and the updater didn't give me any errors. The passport works with msn chat via their website. There was an update a few weeks ago, where you had to enter new info, which I did. Was there something in the last few days that I missed, because all had been working until like Monday of this week. Also, I was updating cookies in the previous Vincula using the new TG cookie grabber, which like I said worked fine until Monday.

I tried nuclear and it's fighting back. Here's a log of the debug window, in case that helps. Thanks.

You know its not always the connection that is unreliable, it can be well your internet connection.

Everything else net-related works fine, I just can't connect to msn chat. That's a pretty strong clue that it's not my internet connection.

May 31, 2005

Id say mines very stable lol, i leave it in my group chatroom for weeks and it never d/c. What you looking for one for msn chat or msn groups?

I'm looking for msn chat, I don't need the groups.

May 30, 2005

The Viuncula I'm using has yet again stopped working today and it's getting to be a drag to keep babysitting it to keep it going. Can a kind soul point me to a connection that just plain works without needing constant maintenance? I just need a basic connection but I'll use a full-featured one if I can turn off the protections, etc.

Thanks,

Nick
