Limit for custom emoticons by kljuka on 09-26-2009 at 05:29 PM

Hello everybody.

I made Messenger Robot, who can speak with my friends, when I'm busy. It can also play the games. I want to add a Chess. So, I drew 48 pictures for each of chess piece, borders ... I animated all and added them in MSN. That's great. But, if I want to send more than 5 different animated emoticons, my friend see just a shortcut for them. How can I brake this limit and my friends don't need any patch.

Greetings from Slovenia :)

You can't, If I remember correctly it's limited at both the client and server levels

Does anybody have any other idea for Chess? I was searching also for Ink. So, can I draw Ink picture with Script?

From what I know, it would require vast amounts of work to get a script to send ink messages and until now nobody managed to do it.
How about just having a textual display, for example

code:
r n b q k b n r
p p p p p p p p
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
P P P P P P P P
R N B Q K B N R

You could use plus colour codes to get a pretty board that way. You'll probably need a monospaced font for that to work though.

I have monospace font, yes.

This view is not functional. It is so ... difficult to play. What about Wengidngs and Wibdings font? They have characters for chess pieces. So, can I change font with scripts?
