Installation Instructions

Extract the zip file in the Miranda home directory. This will create a directory 'Smileys' with the default smiley pack. And the smileyadd.dll will go in the plugins directory. Or you can copy this by hand from the archive. Note: to make the default work, the default smiley pack HAS to be in the 'Smileys' directory.

GDI+ installation required to use non icon smiley packs GDI+ come pre-installed on Windows XP, Office XP and later, for everybody else you can get it here.

Smiley Packs

Smiley pack (theme) - is a set of predefined images with character combination associated with them. SmileyAdd supports .msl, .asl and .xep Smiley Packs. Smiley Pack Specification describing syntax of in .msl or .asl files could be found in the link above or in "smileyadd_msl_specification.txt" file provided with SmileyAdd distribution.

Note SmileyAdd provide better validation for malformed Regular Expressions then nConvers. As a result some Smiley Packs working under nConvers will give errors under SmileyAdd. Although if these errors are fixed resulting Smiley Pack will work correctly under both plugins.

Pre-packaged Smiley Packs could be found here:

Any Smiley Pack from SmileyAdd, IEView or nConvers sections is usable with SmileyAdd
