Hey, I just tried using 'BLAH' and '&BLAH' in the equivalents and it worked. I'll upload my files ->HERE<-

I’m trying to make my own custom emoticons, but even though I’ve completed the .plist and filled in equivalents and the like, it doesn’t want to work.

Do the equivalents absolutely -have- to be things like ‘:D’ or ‘:(’? Or can they be other words, like ‘&laugh’ or ‘&smile’?

That’s right. It only shows up on your machine. Your client is responsible for escaping characters. It is one of the reasons we are able to customize, create, and enhance current configurations.

Put another way, if you are talking to a friend that uses MSN, and you use ICQ, your smilies will look different because MSN and ICQ use different smiley sets.

I just had the time to use try it now. And it doesn’t show smilies to other persons, just the shortcut. :s

Try the file. The online formatting destroyed the .plist so copy and pasting is a no go for this one.
