iChat bubbles in Miranda!

This is awesome! I been waiting for something like this for ages and ages! Wish I knew how to get Miranda working. Is it even plausible that someone might get this working on Trillian? I'm loving it though. Thank u for your hardwork I'm sure this is a big step in towards a perfect I-Chat.

well it would require someone to write a plugin to do it for trillian, but yeah it wud be nice

and its iChat... no - and the c is a little c, not a capital one :P;)

I'm sure everything will be posted, once everything is absolutely figured out. Count on a tut from Magbi and Pe8er ;) Please be patient

I believe I've fixed the long words problem. Explained in the screenshot :)

Sparkle, perhaps you'd like to work with us for reprogramming it with

s?

PM me or pichfl if you're interested.

Nice job so far!

P.S: Next time, don't post such large images inline, though.

Yeah, sorry, I just realized how big that image was after posting it. Smaller now.

Now, about the

business... I know nothing about it. I'm sure I can pick it up after learning more CSS/HTML, but for now, I don't have much time to help you with it. Sorry.

I've already spent too much time playing with the new ieview.dll. My paper due tomorrow is going to suffer :)

I may give it a whirl. Shouldn't be too hard, just convert the html and the plugin to trillian xml. I may check it out later on, but not for a few days.

@sparkle: I know this 'break-all'. Unfortunately it breaks words in the middle, just li

ke that, which looks odd sometimes.

@Fascist: you have to start using Miranda, sorry to say that :P

#259455

@Simperpimpin: you know C++/Delphi then? i wud have written it ages ago, in VisualBasic... but Trillian doesnt support it (afaik), and i don't know C++ (or Delphi) :(

#259457

@prism - nope, but I don't mind learning enough to convert it. That's what I did with emoticon packs, and the ichat mod I did. May take me a few days to figure it all out, but with how simple it is for miranda, I can't imagine it will be too hard. I may undertake it in the next week or two, just to start and see how hard it will be.

#259458

@Simplerpimpin: well i program in visual basic... and even very simple stuff like making a config file for a small application is very hard...

but if u manage to do it, the whole Trillian community will thank you for eternity :cool: lol

Ah, yes, you're right. Blast.

Now, I'm looking at "wrap-option: emergency", which should be what we want, but it's not working...

#259464

How about these modern languages like xml or css2...naah it's not possible to get proper word breaking in this kind of thing.....there would have to be some sort of dictionary containing all breaking rules.

#259466

pity we can't have php...or even just IF statements... then i cud skin it using div's in about 5 or 10 minutes flat!... :(

#259474

Hi do you mind telling me how you achieved this and what to edit in the css file, cos i would also love to assign my own avatars to each of my friends.

Sorry i'm not terribly good at programming :confused:

Thanks

Hey dru, well i kept adding, to the avatars folder, 56 x 56 jpg named exactly as you would see my contacts, and kept getting the same running man AIM icon in the message window. So i started to play with the CSS file ( i have some prior html experience ) and got it to show my buddies icons but only briefly. It turns out i was just screwing things up more....so i was mistaken and i'm back to the square 1. Still can't get my contacts to display the jpg image i put in the avatars folder. It really sucks..... has anyone else encountered this problem? Pe8er and some of the others may be too busy to answer such n0_0bish questions ...but still i (and dru of course) would appreciate the help. Thanks all ;)

#259476

this is so cool.

but how do i change the size of the avatar s i repaced the "me and you" pngs with 56 x 56 pns and now they don't diplay properly

#259492

Hey Aworldapart, don't worry and thank-yuo for ur help, but i got it working now, using pe8er's new css and html update that allows the display of the dynamic avatars pics.

At the moment it only dynamically does your "friends" avatar, but changing my own avatar at this moment i don't mind :D.

At least i solved that problem, and further to that i got that damn crash bug to go away thanks to Sparkle's update on the new ieview.dll :).

Thanks to everyone who has helped me out, and many thanks to Pe8er for a great mod ;)

#259499

Is there a way to have a default image, if theirs cannot be displayed? I just get a little "x" for my friend's avator.

#259502

default image should be the running man AIM icon vague, you aren't even getting that???

#259503

Not for my friend's avator, no.

#259508

Ack, all this install stuff is making my head swell. I just read through 11 pages of text, and on practically every page theres a new zip, or a new skin, some new dll, gaaaaaaaaa. Can anyone just zip up their miranda folder and post it for download?

#259509

Did you update your IEview plugin?

#259511

With the new update and dynamic avatars you need to put an image named noavatar.jpg in your styles main folder such as /templates/ichat/

@sparkle: I know this 'break-all'. Unfortunately it breaks words in the middle, just li

word-wrap: break-word; does exactly what you are searching for, pe8er.

It breaks only words, which are longer than a line and lets all other word intact
