alitor,
I believe he meant that now smileys are listed vertically (in columns), but it'd be more natural if they were located horizontally (in rows).
Exactly! Couldn't find the right words ;D

Robyer, "IEview style window" is not the best solution because:
1. If you turn it on, smileys with big resolution will look square in the smiley dialog window (screen 1).
2. You can fix square smileys by increasing SelectionSize value in msl, but that way the window will look huge, and the vertical WindowSize value will decrease to 4 or less smileys despite the value you set (screen 2).
3. And yeah, as watcher said, I don't like the grid.

I just want a simple compact window, like on the last screen, but with smileys sorted horizontally.

Well, it's pretty easy to change order in code, but I'm not sure it's the good solution. It feels like it has own reason to have it sorted this way. Maybe many people are used to it already. But for me it feels weird too, this vertical sorting. So I'm not sure what to do about that...

sorting apart (no big issue for me personally), smileys work sweetly. THANKS :)

Btw about that sorting someone might add a request to our http://miranda-ng.uservoice.com ;)

Better be late than sorry - Aliror's smiley pack uploaded to server - http://miranda-ng.org/distr/addons/Smileys/whatsapp.zip. If someone could add it to wiki - it would be great too.

Actually original Alitor's pack was incomplete and unsorted. Many smileys lack alternative codes which leads to miranda not displaying smileys received from some official clients (from Nokia OS for sure). I recommend using my updated version (it is continuation of his work, I have credited it in msl).

Let me pick it up once again by the following reasons
1. Official Whatsapp pack is not full and has a lot of emoji's missed
2. VK replacement seems good, but sends Unicode escape symbols which are not supported by default even by Whatsapp app (at least in iOS version). On top of that some emojis are still missed
Second point may be resolved by removing &#...; data from msl file, but seems like workaround.

After some surfing found out, that all the work is already done and the only problem is how to reuse it for Miranda NG.
Exhaustive information is available at http://unicode.org/emoji/
Moreover full emoji list with the images for the most protocols is available at http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html

Having the data I see the possible next steps are
1. Enhance SmileyAdd plugins to support data like 'data:image/png;base64,...' as a 'resourcefile' tag. It will allow to use html page mentioned above to easily prepare msl file with desired smiles set
2. Prepare some kind of tool to parse the page and save all the base64 encoded images as pngs and compose msl file automatically.

Basically both tasks are almost the same, it is required to support base64 encoding, but having #1 implemented looks more convenient as a long term solution.

Could somebody criticize text above?

I think we don't need to create base64 support to SmileyAdd, we can use some script/program to convert them to png files, see e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18108183/online-tool-to-decode-base64-string-to-png

Regarding the program, all the PNGs are already retrieved with one page java code program. Remaining problem is to create msl files.
That is already done also, however needs some additional research. Third argument in "Smiley =" string must be corrected. Probably unicode escape code may be used to compose it.
BTW, code is the following
Code: [Select]

dyrkin, very nice! What do you think about including the smiley name in the MSL file too? (as image description so it will be showed on mouse hover in smileyadd)

1. Official Whatsapp pack is not full and has a lot of emoji's missed
The only emoji that are missing (can't be selected in the menu, but incoming/manually entered code transforms into the picture) in the official apps are "Shibuya 109", "!!", and "!?". If you are talking about emoji that are not supported at all by the official apps, there is no reason to include them to the pack, since the purpose of the pack is to provide compability with the official apps. Otherwise it will be not "whatsapp smileypack" but just another custom smileypack.

After some surfing found out, that all the work is already done and the only problem is how to reuse it for Miranda NG.
I can't understand what are you trying to do. All the work is already done and adapted to Miranda.

This one works for most smileys, you are right. There was an error during second part unzipping related to e521.png file, however seems it affects nothing.
Smileys from the wiki plugins page are not working
