Windows Live / Msn Messenger Plugin

Yeah audiosurf returns all nonstandard characters (and a few standard ones ) as %f3 or stuff like that, so i pretty much have to manually check for any of those and replace them with their actual values. Obviously I haven't compiled a complete list of them. I found and added fixes for all the characters I thought might show up, but i guess i missed a few.
If anybody gets these %fe type things, let me know and I'll add them in.

Also yeah the titles and such come back in all lowercase, and I have been a bit too busy lately to work on this, but I will for sure get it all fixed up eventually.

yes those are the ones.
what language is MSNSurf written in?
you would think there would be a library function which automatically decodes those characters.
if you're happy to post the source, I could have a go seeing you're busy

C#

It doesn't work for me. I click it and it come up with the windows box 'MSNSurf has stopped working.' Any ideas?

Have at!

Thanks for posting the source 
I finally got some time to have a look at it.
I should mention that I'm a more of a C programmer than a C# programmer
After trying for ages to get regular expressions to work (but to no avail), I ended up coding it with loops. So if you do know how to get regular expressions to work in C#, please feel free to update it.

Version 1.5.4.0
Changelog:
- MSN title now properly displays all nonstandard characters (this should work for all but tell me if it doesn't!)
- MSN title now has every first letter capitalised

Known issues:
- single quotes (') seems to be stripped, this looks like audiosurf itself is doing it?

TODO:
- display custom icon

as the todo says, I'm hoping to try and make it so you can specify a custom icon, ideally I would like my MSN title to have a little audiosurf icon and then the artist & title info.
if you could give me any pointers pwntastic, that would be fantastic.

edit: see later post for files

AFAIK you cannot specify custom icons for msn. There are 3 icons that you can use with 4 options. There are 'games' 'music' 'office' or 'none' i think. These are tags that you send to msn, which then displays an icon to go with whatever else you send.
Like if you send it 'games' then it shows a little chess icon, or 'music' makes it display the musical note.

as far as regex, that was a smart idea that i didn't think of for a few things... i'll get back to you on that

[rhonnysparks]

thanks for the info.
I tried creating an audiosurf emoticon, and putting the shortcut for it in the personal message, but it didn't work hopefuly there's a way to do it.

I also figured out how to do the regex, so I changed the code (I also gave the functions I wrote more meaningful names).

Sorry to qupte myself, but its still doing this. Any suggestions as to why?

[Pwntastic]

Do you have the .net framework 2.0 installed?
Would it be possible for you to copy the error report from within the error dialog for me to take a look at? I'm not quite sure what would cause that.

[phil35]

Well, under 'Turn Windows features on and off', the box that says 'Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0' is checked, and when expanded those boxes are checked as well.

How do I find the error dialogue? The box that appears is the Windows diagnose a problem box btw.

It doesn't work on Vista

Useful info (I think):

· I have .NET Framework 3.5 installed instead of 3.0
· My Vista is updated with Service Pack 1
· AMP works fine

[Pwntastic]

OK nvm about the error info then, I thought it was a different type of window.

As far as it not working on vista, it works fine here...

Hmmm ill work on creating a debug version of the app that should let me know where it crashes

Yeah, that's the error that is coming up for me. But in English
