Shoutbox

i was wondering is it possible to make a plugin that makes IMG tags that u use in forums that work in MSN...??

no, but if you get stuffplug and msn 7 then you can send emoticons of any size. (www.stuffplug.com)

It would be possible to make a plugin using a (!IMG) tag.

it would be possible to make a plugin where you use e.g
/ximg http://shoutbox.menthix.net/images/smilies/pound.gif

ive started making it but its bloody hard adding emos with just sendmessage

if anyone knows an easy way to add new emos in VB with any API or whatever, please tell me

i suppose you could get it to download the image file, convert it to png replace png wiv dat and add it into the emoticon folder in appdata, but i wouldnt know how to do that

but dont you have to add it in map.dat?

yea, thats why i don't know how its done

EDIT : Try and find out how mess.be did it in customess

no customess is a totally different thing, it uses the contentinstaller API in MSN, the reason i cant do this is because you need to make a cab file to install from to use contentinstaller and thats hard and pointless for one image

adding it to the folder and to map.dat should work but how...
i don't really know about it.

could it be made in the same way as smiley central, they use links to pictures and show them in the window. it could be done in that way, people could use free places to host the pictures and then build a list in the sindow that can show them from those links if u get what i mean
