Escargot and YMSG (Yahoo! Messenger)

OhHelloThereImTheGuy · February 20, 2018, 9:19pm

UPDATE 11

After some minor tweaking and additions, the GitLab dev repository for Escargot’s Yahoo! frontend has finally been updated!

If you want, you can also checkout, or download, the files from the ‘feature/ymsg’ branch and test everything for yourself, as long as you have Python 3.6+ and a command-line set up for the occasion. (More detailed instructions on how to do this here)

And here’s the appropriate version of Yahoo! Messenger to test this with: Download Yahoo Messenger 5.5.0.1244 for Windows - OldVersion.com (This build is more stable with modern operating systems than build 1237 of Yahoo! Messenger 5.5)

More news will come whenever.

nice progress there, soon we will have it fully working

OhHelloThereImTheGuy · February 20, 2018, 11:11pm

It is fully working (aside from webcam and voice chat features). Just have to wait for @valtron to put his finishing touches on the current code and publish it for everyone to use.

OhHelloThereImTheGuy · February 21, 2018, 5:30pm

Don’t have it.

yellows111 · February 21, 2018, 5:31pm

what kind of windows xp install doesn’t have internet reversi

OhHelloThereImTheGuy · February 21, 2018, 5:31pm

Oh yeah, that.

I’ll see lol.

P.S.: I barely use my VMs for anything other than debugging programs incompatible with Windows 7/modern OSes.

yellows111 · February 21, 2018, 5:33pm

internet reversi doesn’t even open on versions other than xp

OhHelloThereImTheGuy · February 21, 2018, 5:34pm

Good to know.

OhHelloThereImTheGuy · February 21, 2018, 5:36pm

How do I start Internet Reversi with a specific player, because apparently, it searches for random people for me to play with.

yellows111 · February 21, 2018, 5:37pm

choose medium on difficulty, people only play easy or expert

OhHelloThereImTheGuy · February 21, 2018, 5:38pm

OK. I’m on.

yellows111 · February 21, 2018, 5:39pm
