Hi, it's been a long time since we wanted to implement emoticons packs, so you can save/transfer/load all your custom smileys from one profile/computer to another... and we really should do it sometime... but I wanted to show you this... As I participated in the msn live sweepstakes, look at what I received : http://www.imagine-msn.com/minisites/sweepstakes/mail/ looking at the source, I get this direct link that is used to download the theme and there's a javascript there (I guess) to automatically load them into MSN. http://www.imagine-msn.com/minisites/sweepstakes/mail/Safari.Theme.cab
Humm.. this reminds me I also got a 'digital reward' for beta testing the windows live mail.. 4 packs of emoticons + display picture + background image + dynamic display pictures... for those using windows, you can get them from here : http://www.us.mypersonalexpression.com/msnpromo.pd?source=mpeus465 Once the javacript/BHO/activeX installs them in your MSN, you can probably get them from C:\Documents and setttings\your_username\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\some_number\*\*.dat to find which dat file it is and to find which number your account is associated to.. look at the last modified date of the files/directory :p Once I get home, I can send the ones I have, for those who can't use windows... btw, the DDP are a .cab file, which has a png, a content.xml file and a .swf file.. the swf is unplayable, I was unable to get anything from it, until I 'deflashed it' (deassemble flash files), there, I found some sprite that plays the animation... but it seems other players (browser, zoom player, etc..) just gave me a blank, blue image... ) Ohhh, and btw!!!, the xml file contains on which emoticons (key sequences) the DDP should animate ... and finally.. in amsn I was able to receive the DDP!!! don't ask me how it went, but anyways, amsn downloaded the DP without problems, but I only received the .png file that was inside the .cab file, not the cab/swf file.. so maybe the client sends the png to clients that don't have the bit for support of DDP... so the DDP acts as a static DP... more info when I get home. -- KaKaRoTo _______________________________________________ Amsn-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amsn-devel
