Nobellium tackles MySpaceIM

[nullification]

Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to post on this forum and I’m glad to be back to present with (yet) another one of my projects that might pique someone’s interest in here. I’ve been lurking around for something to personally work on and MySpaceIM is (personally) a project that has really piqued my interest as it is one that many people have tackled but I have, unfortunately, not seen any projects that have lasted. Personally, I believe that’s a waste to let something like MSIM end up in obscurity with no one tending to it or caring at all, so I decided to lift up my sleeves and work on it with some of my other friends.

Alongside my project teammates, we decided on a challenge to figure out the protocol and see what we could group together to make it work and to (also) offer it to the community for use.



My friend's got good intentions, trust me. He's funny like that

So far, we’ve tested version from 594 to 673 and we can confirm that most of the functionalities work properly which include:

* Proper client patching without the need or use of the hosts file or modifying the .exe directly
* Member directories
* Profiles
* Ability to change your information
* Apply custom song that’ll appear in the IM
* Profile pictures
* Status sync
* Messaging between clients
* Group & friend functionality

I’d say that the project is, at most, 90% complete and we are willing to let people who are truly interested come and check it out, show their support by participating in discussions and listing out any bugs that they might find for us to fix. Testing will not be limited based on “donations” but will be open to everyone with a simple request.
I won't post any Discord links per-se as I don't want to anger anybody, but if anyone's interested in working out with the service shoot a message here and I'll gladly pass you it. :-)

This looks lovely! I don't think I have the availability to be a tester but it looks great so far

This looks pretty early 2000s ngl. I'd love to use this! I only ever heard of MySpaceIM, seems a lot like AIM tbh. I'm willing to try it if you'd allow me.

This would work great with my old devices, hope there is a OS X Mavericks port for my good ol' Hackintosh

AFAIK there should be Adium which provides support for this specific protocol and I heard that there's an application (which is lost media) which was supposed to be more official. If you do have a Mac machine and wish to test, we embrace you with open arms.

Either way, for those who want to show some interest, here's the Discord link under a spoiler as to not advertise to people that don't want to join.
Reminder that you don't need to give us any money to come and test (like other communities) :-)
