Is there a way in Net::AIM? , I dont really wanna convert my whole bot to Net::Oscar just for buddy icon capabilities.
Currently there is no known way to do it in Net::AIM, and plus I think Net::AIM is a dead project--Net::OSCAR is updated more.
Or you could learn up the protocol and edit your Net::AIM to do buddy icons, and then come post here for other Net::AIM users and help the world . . . _________________ Current Site (2008) http://www.cuvou.com/
Try searching Google? MSN has a site all about its protocol but I don't know if there's an AIM one. Couldn't hurt to search though. _________________ Current Site (2008) http://www.cuvou.com/
I looked into the buddy icons... as far i can tell, the method is ->set_icon ... not "buddy_icon"...
But assuming that would have been discovered, has anyone had success with the advanced capabilities?
As a minimal test, I can't even make the aolim client show "capabilities: buddy icons" (you know, when you put the mouse over it, most bots only show "chat")
Net AIM is limited in capability compared to Oscar. _________________ Check out Botworld! A dev resource for things bot.

Hi, Net::OSCAR's lead developer here, I found this thread in my website's referer logs.
It isn't possible for Net::AIM to handle buddy icons, Net::AIM communicates with AOL's servers using a different protocol, called TOC, which doesn't support that functionality. However, the Net::OSCAR API is intentionally rather similar to the Net::AIM API, so switching over shouldn't be too hard. See the Net::AIM Compatibility section of the Net::OSCAR documentation. Oh, and I'm reorganizing the documentation for the next release, so you may like the newer version -- comments welcome.

What does you Net::OSCAR::new call look like? It should look something like:

OOH! I have another suggestion for Net::OSCAR... make it better Win32 compatible. To get 1.0 to work on Windows, I had to comment out an entire block of code, and to get 1.1 to work on Windows I changed an "or die" to an "or print" in one of the modules.
So I don't know what I changed, but NOW the module works on Windows. So... if it works on Windows to begin with I won't have to change things and worry about what I just changed. :rolleyes: _________________ Current Site (2008) http://www.cuvou.com/
i feel silly, but still not working... i got capabilities showing now... After executing the following code, the module invokes my buddylist_error callback, which dutifully receieved 3 things:
(the hash ref), "10", and "deleting"
this makes sense according to docs... i got a buddylist error... anyone know what the "deleting" error means, and how to go about fixing?
