Is it possible to make a script that saves all your smileys as *.gif files (or w.e)
i would appreciate that very much because im planning to reinstall windows and then all of my smileys will be lost

I make a little C++ script to copy all smileys ( .dat files ) to a folder "huhu" ( in the exe path ). It works only on win xp.

Just compil it.

code:

---

#include <dirent.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <sstream>

std:tring stringify(int x){
   std:stringstream p;
   p << x;
   return p.str();
}

std:tring getHomePath(){
    system("mkdir huhu");
    system("echo %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\MSN Messenger>tmp.dat");
    std:tring line;
    ifstream file( "tmp.dat" );
    getline( file, line );
    file.close();
    system("del tmp.dat");
    return line;
}

int main(){
DIR *pdir;
struct dirent *pent;
int i=1;
std:tring homepath=getHomePath();
pdir=opendir(homepath.c_str());
if (!pdir)exit(1);
while ((pent=readdir(pdir))){
     std:tring dd = pent->d_name;
     std:tring url = homepath+"\\"+dd+"\\CustomEmoticons";
     if(opendir(url.c_str())){
        std:tring com = "copy \""+url+"\\*.dat\" \"huhu\\"+stringify+"_*.gif\"";
        system(com.c_str());
        com = "del \"huhu\\"+stringify+"_.gif\"";
        system(com.c_str());
     }
     i++;
}
closedir(pdir);
exit(0);
}

Thx

Edit:
It doesnt save smileys it only saves settings, chat logs (that is really easy to do on your own) and custom sounds.. :/

Alright, you don't know how to compile my C++ script so i give you the EXE file.

Launch it, it'll create a batch wich copy all your smiley on a new folder.

Thx a LOT

and is there a way to automatically install em back to MSN than havin to add em manually?

i found some dp importer at www.mess.be ... look there

not dp.. smiley importer

No DP Importer.

I don't know how to add smileys automatically but i think it's possible...

We can create a script to control keyboard and mouse to leave the computer adds all smileys alone ! ^^

I've made this script for saving smileys into gifs/png/bmp files

but it imports smileys too^^

Good script mickeal but messenger can give you directly the adress ID so you don't need to "calcul" it.

code:

---

var PassportID = Messenger.MyUserId;

---

code:

---

var PassportID = 0;
   
for (var i=0; i < email.length; i++)
{
    PassportID *= 101;
    PassportID += email.charCodeAt;
   
    while (PassportID >= Math.pow(2,32))
        PassportID -= Math.pow(2,32);
}

instead of

for (var i=0; i < email.length; i++)
{
    PassportID *= 101;
    PassportID += email.charCodeAt;

        PassportID -= Math.pow(2,32);
}

Here is a better one: http://www.baisoft.it/msnbackup_english.asp

Is called MSNBackup and it not only backups and restores smilies, it also can backup and restore Winks, Background, your user picture and even the dinamic pictures you have (Meego, Kiwee and Quebles)
