It would be helpful if you posted the name of your folder, as well as the name of any .cs files in your folder. If, for whatever reason you don't want to rename "Confused.cs", you can execute it from a server.cs along with any other cs files you have.
Code: [Select]
exec("./Confused.cs"); You may know that already, just trying to help.

Also, I think the reason your icon may not be showing up is because you may not have defined a datablock for it.

Code: [Select]
datablock DecalData(confused)
{
textureName = "add-ons/Client_Smiley_System/Smileys/confused.png";
};

One more thing, if you're doing what I think you're doing (packaging serverCmdMessageSent separately for each individual emoticon.) Don't do that, you need to come up with a better way. Hope this helps.

you need datablocks to make an image in text?

Not unless you know of some magical way for your clients to see an image they don't have.  :cookieMonster:

He wants a client-sided way of doing it.

DecalData was removed in v21. We currently do not know of an efficient way of transmitting images.

Wasn't aware of that, Trinick.

Actually, client-sided emoticons isn't a bad idea. Op was never really clear on his intentions, however.

What now? Is there any other code that I can use? It's not like the man himself will just tell us...

Who is the man?



why
decaldata was used for things like footprints, bullet impacts, and misc map detail. because blockland uses none of these things and a major aspect of the last few updates has been reducing and elliminating unnessicary downloads, it was probably removed specifically to stop modders from sending images.

Who are you? Or are you one of those secret alts?
