Is there any Mercury Messenger that still works today? Because I installed the Mercury Messenger from the Escargot website and the Messenger Geek mod Windows Live Messenger, and in both, when I enter the correct login and password, it says the password is wrong.
IIRC Mercury Messenger from Escargot is patched to connect to their old service domains (*.escargot.log1p.xyz), which are no longer operational.
Unless they modify mercury to their new domain
Any plans to make it work for CrossTalk? Would love to keep in touch and I would’ve done it myself but I don’t know where the “config” files are or how to even access them
I used it a couple times, think there’s something in the settings where its able to be changed
I’ve already tried patching it for CrossTalk, the patch works however the client doesn’t like our implementation of ABCH services (it gives up right after ABFindAll IIRC, no idea why).
The server addresses are not user configurable, you have to modify the apk package. They are obfuscated with PBEWithMD5AndDES encryption (password “Code”, iterations 10, salt “\xa9\x9b\xc8\x32\x56\x35\xe3\x03”, src: MSN mobile clients for Android (#40) · Issues · Escargot / Escargot Server · GitLab)

The specific issue with CrossTalk is we didn’t implement UpdateDynamicItem, but now we have a dummy implementation that always returns a successful result (not functional yet, still not entirely sure how that SOAP action works)
I haven’t tested it since implementing this (I need to find my Android dev phone), so if anyone could, that would be nice. You can get the APK here.
Note that this APK is still patched to connect to the old *.xyz service domains, which we plan to fully migirate away from very soon. I’ll publish a new APK at some point soon, this one was from when I was first testing it.
All 3 protocol options should work, in theory.
Update: Got time to test this, and they don’t. Need to dig into this more.
