New Beta: 3.0.387 Options

[TheBlasphemer]

Introduction
Yesterday a rather notorious messenger site thought they had something exclusive and special when one of the
translaters decided to leak the internal beta 3.0.371. However, we caught it quite quickly, the person responsible has been removed from the translators list and permanently banned.
Today, however, a somewhat more reliable site (namely this site) 'leaks' another beta. Or should we just call it a release? Whatever you want to call it, build 3.0.387 is now available to download right here
So much for their 15 seconds of internet 'fame'.

Changes
Changes from version 3.0.286 include, but are not limited to:

• Can be loaded on WLM 8.0.0812, 8.1.0168, and 8.1.0178 (although only the latter is officially supported)
• Removed feature: AdHider has been removed (see further down)
• New feature: replace default emoticons with custom emoticons

• New feature: customizable timestamps.
• Fixed feature for WLM 8.1: BlockTalk
• Fixed feature for WLM 8.1: KeyboardLED
• Fixed feature: CE/DP Stealer now shows animated emoticons.
• Fixed feature: use better icons for status-icon features
• Fixed feature: StatusIcons now also changes icon in window itself
• New loader (Should fix Vista x64 problems)
• Loads of (bug)fixes
• Loads of UI updates
• New silly alpha animation on drop down options (like chatname, timestamps, flashled)
• Windows of the same type now only open once.
• Fixed several memory leaks.
• Made installation directory choosable
• Removed button from login window

AdHider Removed
Although I had done my best to provide an Ad-hiding method that would be less severe to MS than completely removing it whilst still useful for the user.
However they feel that anything that tampers with the advertising, be it just hiding or completely removing, would damage their advertising income, and as such the feature would have to be removed.
As the Windows Live network relies solely on advertising, I feel that they are certainly in a position to state this, which is why I have chosen to honour their request.
I can understand those ads can be nuisance, but it's a lot better than having to pay for messenger, so you'll just have to live with it.

New features
Although most of the new features are self-explanatory, some of them are quite confusing, so here's a little introduction to some of them.

Timezone adjustable clock
I, and many others, use WLM to talk to a lot of international contacts. Most of these contacts also live in a different timezone, and it's really hard to keep track of which timezone everyone is in, and what time it would be in that timezone.
That is why I introduced timezone adjustable clocks to StuffPlug 3. Basically it adds a little clock in the conversation window, below the display picture, that reflects the time in the timezone you have set for that person.
If you click the little arrow beside it, you can choose from a list of timezones, or have StuffPlug 3 request the timezone for the user.
The clock itself can just be enabled even if the other user does not have stuffplug, but the requesting of the other timezone requires the other user to have StuffPlug 3 installed, and the special feature enabled.

Wordwheel Add
The search bar (wordwheel) at the top of the contact list is very useful, but I (and some others on the forum) felt that it lacked one big thing.
If you'd be searching for someone and he wouldn't be found on your contactlist, you'd naturally want to add him. However, this requires you to open up a new menu, and re-typing the e-mail address.
No more with this new feature, if no contacts can be found matching your search string, you are offered to add this person as a new contact with one click of your mouse

Languages included
Because this version was released slightly (a lot) before the planned date, not all translators have had time to properly translate. This is why only the following languages have been included:

• English
• Dansk
• Nederlands
• Eesti
• Finnish
• Francais
• Hebrew
• Italiano
• Korean
• Chinese Simplified
• Slovenian
• Swedish
• Turkish

Wow! It works in 8.0!
Thanks!

# New feature: More than 5 custom emoticons per message

This doesn't work in messenger 8.0 but that's fine for me.

[Cooper]

No oversize emoticons yet????, when???? I need that feature pls.

[Three6Mafia]

That feature WILL NOT be added into SP3... If You would have used a simple search you would have found 4+ threads regarding this matter...How lazy can You get?.. I mean, it would make sense to search first that way it saves you having to type up a post... Anymore questions about this feature will be deleted... In conclusion, for a detailed answer, search the forum FIRST! next time.
*Three6Mafia Shakes his head* there is always one in a bunch

In the feature "More than 5 custom emoticons per message" we can send and see the 5 or more custom emitcons, but the persons that not have this plugin can't see the other emoticons, there only see 5 (sorry for my english)
