yeah I know this may sound weird but how about they add some basic things to
aw's chat, like smilies. we can say :) and stuff now but I want to see cute
little icons, that maybe would use iconsets, using a sheet that's like full
of them so then users could use diuff ones in diff worlds, set by world
owner, not universe wide!

could also be used for other stuff...

isn't it prettybasic though if user says ":)" then replace with 1,5 first
column 5 row


idk

though, but find them kinda strange.

still would you prefer an image of a head with a :) rather than a :)

or maybe avatars could show them as emotions?? when I say :) my avatar
smiles, that would be cool

I would prefer everything to be pure text. I hate emoticons.

There could always, as usual, be an option to disable the graphical emoticons.

I don't care much for them however I know some of my friends would use them.
I don't think they would bother me unless they slowed down the browser
somehow. It would be nice I guess if world owners could create them to match
the theme of the world. I like good clear type myself and half of the typed
emoticons I don't even understand anyway as i usually just ignore them. So
to type them to me would be useless as I have explained to some friends but
a real ones with the face I would understand. I would rather people just
type the darn word to me in plain english.

If emoticons ever get enabled, I want the option to disable smileys for me,
and for nobody else to see emoticons come from me. I don't think they
reflect my personality. Heh :P

You mean a texture with all the various emotions on it? Or perhaps a file
with the various emotions and corresponding texture files

lol at the word texture :) sprite kiddo sprite :)

It would probably be best to make it one graphic, I the texture folder,
called "Smiles.jpg" or something, that way people could change it on their
own op. But the browser would convert them to be whatever it was, :) and it
would also probably either need a hardcoding, or a default thing, on each
op, like the message set so it knows its own dictionary... so if I say :) it
makes a smile. lol


probably be structured like this;
Div=10:10
:),:-) = 1:1
:(,:-( = 1:2

the comma would be used to separate if more than one face had different ways
of typing, and the 1:1, refers to Column one row 1, column 1 row 2 for 1:2,
div=10:10 would be a declaration that says there are 100 in the set, 10x10,
10 rows, 10 columns.

see?

in such a way this file would allow the user to say there are 1:5 so its
one column with 5 rows

in this we have unlimited possibility, but uses a simple simple code within
the browser, im not even kidding, it can be done in VB easily, and a bit
harder with c, but its very easy./
