How can I add one additional smilie (a .gif) to AdiumX 0.89, then allocate a key code to it (like (random))

Thanks

for the moment there's no real support for custom emoticons.
This means that you could change a pack of emoticons. Everytime you or someone else writes (random) you will see a picture. this doesn't mean the other party will see that smiley.

If you want to get custom emoticons that are being seen by both parties, you'll have to wait some time.
some work has been done on it, but i have no idea how much and what priority it has.
You'll find more information on trac.adiumx.com or maybe on the blog?

I have the same smilie that someone on MSN Messenger uses, but would like to add it to my "MSN Animated" (currently active) emoticon pack, and set the activation text to the same as they have.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks for the help

I had a search on trac.adiumx.com but couldn't find anything relevant...

Find the emoticon pack... (they are stored at <your user name>/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Emoticons). Right click (cntrl click) and choose show package contents. There will be a bunch of image files (the ones in this particular pack that i'm looking at are pngs, not sure if it matters) and a file called "emoticons.plist". Add the image you want to use to the folder (along with all the others already in there) and then oppen the plist. Add the following

Code: Select all

		<key>Gasp.png</key>
		<dict>
			<key>Equivalents</key>
			<array>
				<string>=-o</string>
				<string>=-O</string>
				<string>:-O</string>
			</array>
			<key>Name</key>
			<string>Gasp</string>
		</dict>

replacing "Gasp.png" with the name of your image and the the

faces with whatever you want to trigger the emoticon (for instance (random)). You can have as many or as few of these <string> statements as you want. Finally change the name (under <key>Name</key> to whatever you want it to appear as in the list). Save the plist and it should work.
