XSLT for Converting Adium Smiley Packs 1.0

2007-05-14 Addons

Description: This XSLT was tested using Saxon 8.x. which you can download here:

http://saxon.sourceforge.net/#F8.9SA

Although I specified XSLT 2.0 and used a 2.0 processor to develop and test it, to my knowledge I did not use anything specific to 2.0. So this XSLT should work just fine under a 1.0 processor as well.

This XSLT helps you convert the plist file that comes with Adium Smiley packs into the .asl format that Miranda uses.

To use this you need to have an XSLT processor (I used Saxon). You would then:

Adium Emoticon Converter 1.0.1

2007-05-13 Addons

Screenshot

Description: This Python script takes a .plist file from an Adium emoticon pack and converts it to an .asl file that can be used in Miranda with the SmileyAdd plugin installed. This means most Adium emoticon Xtras should work with minimal work. See the top of the script file for more details.

This script download includes two thirdparty dependencies: PListReader and W3CDate, released under the Python License, written by Andrew Shearer (http://ashearer.com/software/developers/plist/).

Adium Emoticon Installer 1.0.1

2007-05-13 Addons

Screenshot

Description: This takes the concept of the Adium Emoticon Converter script (http://addons.miranda-im.org/details.php?action=viewfile&id=3554) a step further and will read a zip file that contains an Adium "emoticon set" and install this into a "Smileys" subfolder in the Miranda program folder (i.e. "(Miranda Program Folder)Smileys").

Running the script (or the exe):

  • Asks you for a zip file that contains an Adium emoticon set.
  • Asks you for the location of the Miranda program folder.
  • Unzips the zip file into a corresponding folder in a "Smileys" folder of the Miranda program folder.
  • Converts the Adium .plist file to a Miranda .asl file.

    To install an Adium emoticon zip:
  • Download an emoticon pack from Adium Xtras (http://www.adiumxtras.com).
  • Run the script and follow the instructions.
  • Once completed, you can point Miranda to using the newly installed ASL file (Options -> Customize -> Smileys). Requires the SmileyAdd Plugin, and IEView for any animated emoticons.

    There are three thirdparty dependencies that the source (script) download includes:
  • PListReader and W3CDate by Andrew Shearer, licensed under the Python License (http://www.shearersoftware.com/software/developers/plist/)
  • EasyDialogs by Jimmy Retzlaff, licensed under the MIT license (http://www.averdevelopment.com/python/EasyDialogs.html).

    There are two possible downloads:
  • The source (script), which requires Python 2.5 or later to be installed.
  • The executable, which was created using PyInstaller and includes all dependencies necessary and should therefore run on any system. Tested on WinXP SP2 and Windows Vista.

    Update:
  • See changelog for fixes.

    This update includes the following fixes to the AdiumEmoticonConverter script:

    AdiumEmoticonConverter Version 1.0.2:
    ————————————-
  • Now handles emoticons with spaces and quotes correctly and uses the special ASL/MSL character sequences in these situations.
  • ASL files are now saved as Unicode (UTF-8 with Byte Order Marker/BOM) rather than ANSI.
  • If an unexpected error happens, the script will show an error dialog with the error details rather than just quit silently.

    AdiumEmoticonConverter Version 1.0.1:
  • Uses EasyDialogs to create a simple interface to ask the user which file to convert.
  • First version to be used with the AdiumEmoticonInstaller script.

Trillian 3 Pro ASL File 1.0.1

2007-05-13 Addons

Screenshot

Description: This is an ASL file for use with SmileyAdd and IEView (there are animated emoticons). It contains around 270+ emoticons from Trillian 3 Pro.

To get the actual image files you need download the Adium Xtra named "Trillian 3 Pro" which contains the emoticons themselves. You can find this download here: http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=xtras&xtra_id=1085

Download the file and unzip the contents of the images into a subfolder of Miranda’s "smileys" folder (e.g. (Miranda Folder)smileysTrillian Icons). Then copy this ASL file into the same folder and set SmileyAdd to use it.

This ASL file was generated using the AdiumEmoticonConverter Python script.
