I was actually going to go with “Update 4.6,” but I didn’t think it would make much sense. :stuck_out_tongue:

UPDATE 5

So apparently, copying and moving contacts to groups utilize the same packet with no extra key-value pairs or changes to the status/attribute DWORD to signify what kind of operation is occuring.

Yay! :expressionless:

welp, dont lose the hope yet :stuck_out_tongue:

91

I’m not losing hope. I don’t plan to. Just got to sort things out. :stuck_out_tongue:

92

UPDATE 6

Got all the contact and user stuff finished! Time to go get messaging working again. :smiley:

93

Yeeees!
Can you pass the instaler and instruction to how to patch please?

94

We’ve been through this on MSN. :expressionless:

When I have everything complete and finalized, I’ll publish what I have to the GitLab and then you can test it from there.

95

Great! Congratulations

UPDATE 7

I got basic messaging to work! Even buzzing works! :smiley:

I do, however, need to get typing notifications to work. I already have that set up, but when sending a typing notification to someone server-side, it doesn’t seem to have any effect. I’m trying to fiddle around with the packet data to see what sticks. :stuck_out_tongue:

(Oh yeah I also need to get Yahoo! Messenger conferences done with too)

UPDATE 8

While trying to figure out Yahoo! Messenger conference implementation, I had decided to implement file transfer first. But then, this happened:

Yahoo! Messenger file transfer utilizes HTTP after negotiation has been done via YMSG. I am unsure why this dialog appears, as if Yahoo! Messenger wanted to connect to the file transfer server, it would need no obligation to. I also hope this isn’t some weird connection problem thing. :confused:

98

UPDATE 8.5

After some thought, I have realized that Yahoo! Messenger tries to utilize the HTTP port for file transfer itself, and the Escargot server utilizes port 80 already, so it can’t use that port. I’ll see if using port 8080 on the server-side will help. :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT: No it didn’t. :confused:

99

UPDATE 9

So two things:

From some further discovery, Yahoo! Messenger apparently uses P2P for file transfer, which I find interesting.

Also, got typing notifs to work! :smiley:

Now I can rest in peace (and get conferencing out of the way). :stuck_out_tongue:

when or we can download it :stuck_out_tongue: ?

103

For future reference, the server is compatible with Yahoo! Messenger 5.5 right now. You can find that, along with other versions of Yahoo! Messenger, here: Download Old Versions of Yahoo Messenger for Windows - OldVersion.com. Then when the server is final and live, you can download and patch as needed. :stuck_out_tongue:

(Just note that there is a weird bug with 5.5 when run on WIndows 7 where it freezes after a successful login. It may just be me, but be wary).

ok :stuck_out_tongue: perfect good job and good luck :PPP

what yahoo i have to download ;-;

106

I’d recommend Yahoo! Messenger 5.5.1237, since that is the build that I am certain will install on modern operating systems (older Yahoo! Messenger versions will most likely use a 16-bit installer, so unless you have a 32-bit OS installed, no good in that :stuck_out_tongue:).
