Emoticons - ew. I personally would hate them, at imagine how it would slow mIRC down? Having to render and rerender... I know MSN IM sucks when someone pastes sevral hundred
's ione after the other. I dunno if mIRC's channel "control" would even be able to deal with it, it seems as though it might be able to consdering the ability to take background images, 'hotlinks' etc.
If it got added, I think that being able to customise the smileys would be a great idea - scripting wouldn't be affected at all... pasting could be done just fine.
We as a mIRC community could do a temporary fix - open up word and type : ) (no space)... you get a text replace of J rendered in "Carta" - a smiley. So its possible to choose one character to count as each smile and do a custom font, the trouble is merely finding the free characters...
chr(1) is out for DCC purposes, as are A-Za-z0-9_-+ etc, but there are still quite a few out there. Screw talking , I jsut inspired myself to do it. brb.
