Hi all,
Is it possible to disable my smileys in msn (like   ) but keep seeing the smileys which are sent to you by your friends. I mean i hate smileys, but my friends tend to use smileys excessively and when they talk, if i disable the smileys a text like this " i (a smiley with a dude walking trying to mean he went or something ) there and (a dude slapping another smiley) him" transforms into "i zzz12 there and bbb23 him". So i hope you got what i mean. If its not possible to disable smileys in one way, is it possible to somehow disable at least : and ) from making a smiling smiley? or other basic smileys?
ps: in another forum someone told me msgplus live has the option to send messages without emoticons but i cant find that options. anyone knows something about that?

You can use "/noicon" to disable emoticons in a message. Or someone could make a script to place that command in front of every message sent to disable emoticons.

can someone please help me and write a script like scott says? pretty pleaase ?

I made it for you.
Open Script prefrences > Click "Create New" > Name the file something like "NoParse" > Copy and Paste the code Below >
Change "YOUREMAIL@hotmail.com" to your email. > Click Save

code:

---

var OnOff = true;
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
if (OnOff && Messenger.MyEmail == "YOUREMAIL@hotmail.com") {
Message = "/noicon " + Message;
return Message;
}
}

function OnGetScriptMenu(sLocation)
{
if (OnOff) {
OffOn = "Off";
}else{
OffOn = "On";
}

        var ScriptMenu = "<ScriptMenu>";
        ScriptMenu    +=     "<MenuEntry Id=\"OnOff\">Turn " + OffOn + "</MenuEntry>";
        ScriptMenu    += "</ScriptMenu>";
       
        return ScriptMenu;
}

function OnEvent_MenuClicked(sMenuId, nLocation, oChatWnd){
if(sMenuId == "OnOff"){
if (OnOff) {
OnOff = false;
}else{
OnOff = true;
}
}
}

I think what he ants is thet option when u go into tools -> options -> messeges , and uncheck the box that says : show emoticons, the show custum emoticons box next to it should uncheck itself and turn grey.

but that disables it for both messages you send and messages sent by your contacts. he wants it to be disabled for his messages but not messages from his contacts

Scott, you may want to make a check on your script for messages which start with a "/", you don't want to be replacing messages which are meant to be other MsgPlus! commands.
That is, currently your script will convert "/away" to "/noicon /away" which doesn't yield the expected outcome.

hmm scott thank you very much mate, doesn't matter if its not perfect i won't use other msg plus commands if its hard to fix that in script thank you everyone
