I have the X-Rogue header MT added to my headers but it's not showing the pics. There are various messages that have the links, but I cannot locate them quickly. It can be downloaded from http://www.pcwize.com/thebat/smileys/rogues.zip I've made a little .bat file, which is executed when a new person in the rogues is announced. It simply downloads the file and unzips it: cd C:\Program files\TheBat\Images C:\Program files\wget\wget.exe -N http://www.pcwize.com/thebat/smileys/rogues.zip C:\Program files\PKWARE\PKZIPC\pkzipc.exe -extract -overwrite=all C:\Program files\TheBat\Images\rogues.zip It uses wget (free from http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/wget.html#downloading) and pkzip (not free http://www.pkware.com/), but any command line zip tool will do. Note that older versions of pkunzip are avalible for free, but they do not understand long file names, and are useless in this case. If many people starts to auto download the rogues file, it may be hard for the server when new people are announced. In that case it would help to make a file with e.g. the 10 newest images and the settings file. -- Best regards, Simon Mikkelsen Contact information http://mikkelsen.tv/simon/contact/ Using TheBat 2.12.00 on Windows 2000 (NT 5.0) build 2195, Service Pack 4 Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Site URLs for PCWSmileys and Roguemoticons [was Re: Roguemoticons Help]
Hello Ian! On Saturday, July 24, 2004, 12:52 AM, you wrote: IAW Maybe there should be a link to these on the RIT Labs web site given IAW that this is a feature of the program. This way anyone (even those not IAW involved in these discussion groups as there are the smileys, flags, IAW etc. as well) can find them and use them. And Marck could put the Roguemoticon link and the PCWSmileys link (they are two separate sites, run separately) on his Silverstones page--the link to which is at the bottom of every TB! list post. For you, Ian, so you can Park this information--you might even put it into a SmartBat memo-- Roguemoticons: http://www.pcwize.com/thebat/ PCWSmileys (includes: Smileys, Flags, Personal Pets, Avatars): http://www.pcwize.com/thebat/pcwsmileys.php When uploading an image for all to share on the PCWSmiley page, please e-mail me at Trill at Pcwize dot com. If you can't make the information in the above sentence out, just write to me at the PM address in the headers to this post. Please don't merely post the message though--I might miss it. :) Tell me--you know this Ian, it's just to encourage others to share and let me know who's sharing, that is, uploading an image-- Tell me, in the e-mail, which of 7 places the image falls as to copyright status: 1) Uploading person owns the image and gives permission to distribute it. 2) Uploading person believes the image is in the public domain, and is here giving the place it was obtained from, with the reason it appears to be in the public domain--if it's a website, the URL, too, please, if you have it. 3) Uploading person believes the image is under copyright and appends the chain of correspondence through which was obtained the copyright owner's permission for distribution through the PCWSmileys data base. 4) Uploading person got the emoticon from www.emoticons4u.com , which is a site where the website owner, Niels Kolb, has sent permission to use emoticons from, in addition to his opinion that all the emoticons there are in the public domain. Or, 5) Uploading person got the flag being uploaded from http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/docs/flagsoftheworld.html the only site we know of, so far, where the flag images appear to be in the public domain. 6) If it's an Avatar, the situation may be complex. Write to me the copyright status circumstances of any image used in the Avatar. 7) Personal pet photos that you own are most welcome. Please send them as jpegs or gifs--better around 5 to 10 Kb and fairly small dimensions, to fit well on a page of text when used there. But if you can't get them down in size, send an attachment to me by PM. I have Irfanview (an image program) and I can do that for you. Personally, I very much enjoy seeing other people's pets.

Hallo Darrin, On Wed, 21 Jul 2004 06:24:50 -0700GMT (21-7-2004, 15:24 +0200, where I live), you wrote: DR I created an account at the Roguemoticons site and my image is up DR there. Downloaded the most recent rougue.zip and extracted all the DR files to their proper location. So If I understand correctly, I should DR just place my handle which is :Darrin_Rich: without the in my signature and it DR should work? That should work for RTV users with smileys enabled. However when you haven't enabled the smileys (Options - Pref - Viewer/editor) or when you're using the plan text viewer it won't show. That's why I wrote this a week ago in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] However, as I'm a plain text type and don't use the RTV except for testing purposes, I'd prefer everybody placing their roguemoticon in the X-Rogue: header and not in the signature, since the latter won't show when you're using the plain text viewer. Okay, how do you insert the X-Rogue: header? You can do that with this macro: %SetHeader(X-Rogue,:your_handle:)%- in your templates for this and other tb-lists. However, only the macro won't do the trick. TB'll say: 'Hey, that's no RFC822 header', so you'll have to define it as such: Options - Preferences - Messages - Message headers - 'Add' Now you'll get a pop-up to define the header Display as: X-Rogue (or whatever, it isn't very important) RFC header: X-Rogue Uncheck: 'This field is an address list' (because it isn't) Check: 'Allow this field to be edited in the message editor' Uncheck: 'Display this field in the scrollable part of the header pane' Now you're done and every TB-user can see your lovable face when (s)he's installed the roguemoticons. DR I can see many other users photos in my tbudl emails. After DR sending myself some test emails, my image does not appear. What am DR I doing incorrect here? There are two options: 1) You haven't downloaded the archive with your roguemoticon in it or 2) You're using RTV without smileys enabled or you're using plain text view, your face will only show when marked in an X-Rogue header. -- Groetjes, Roelof Disclaimer: Any opinion stated in this message is not necessarily shared by my budgies or rabbits.

If so, the method you are using to insert your roguemoticon won't show up.
