P.S. Remake on Social Emotes by Yvanhoe

Nice continuation of the mod!

So the license is AGPL?

[Yvanhoe]

Nice! Actually the faces rising in the back of the actual faces of the character makes me think we should go to the logical end of it and add facial expressions to skins :-)

WTFPL

WTFPL?

Nice, I'm going to fork, rename, and release under GPLv3 and remove everything that gives credit to you. :)

By this logic I can decompile Minecraft itself and release it as free software. But it’s not allowed. In the same way, you can’t just relicense previous work of others to any license.

Your code is automatically licensed AGPL. Just add that license and get on with coding life.

"previous work of others"

Who is others?

I thought about this, but on the face of skin we have only 8*10 pixels, too a few for 'emoji'.

[Yvanhoe]

texmex: he cites my work as an inspiration and his as a remake, this not a fork or a modification, this is perfectly fine.

[texmex]

Oh, then I have no complaints. Sorry bosapara, good work!

As an idea for further development maybe an API for adding custom emojis can be useful?

[FreeGamers]

If you wanted to make this more intuitive, perhaps have an appropriate emoji be triggered when a player uses the relevant emoji/emoticon in chat...

e.g. using ":)" anywhere in a string would cause the smiling emoji to animate.

Thank you for idea, will add.

[FreeGamers]

Awesome! I'll almost certainly be trying this in my server then. A lot of players never figure out console commands, so adding this could let them emote as well. Thanks for considering it.

You might want to consider adding a condition for when someone uses multiple emoticons in a single string though, just to make sure a server or game crash doesn't result from such a fringe occurrence.

cool update

[texmex]

Very clever use of on chat interception. Maybe add an option to omit it from text chat entirely?

[CalebJ]

This is really cool. I especially like that "o_O" is supported: +100 on that :D

You mean to add special command to set it 'on / off' for each player?

[texmex]

More of a server-wide setting. I reckon that the chat log can be massively spammed by the shortcodes. So this feature would intercept them in order to show the emoji particle but not pass it on to the chat.

As i checked in 4.17.1 - all works perfect. What do you mean?

[texmex]

You can enable shortcode ( :P, o_O and so on) use in the chat without sending it out to the whole server.

This isn't a good idea. Players usually using text smiles inside of their message.

Emoji can be spawned with "/e" too.

[Wuzzy]

Sounds fun for servers. :-)

Some complains/suggestions:

- The chat shortcuts are not recognizing common smiley variants, like with or without nose. E.g. “:)” vs “:-)”, and “o_O” vs “O_o”, “o_o”, “O_O”, and “B-)” vs “8-)”, and so on
- “~:[” is really unusual. It should be “>_<”, which is WAY more common.
- “:X” and “:x” (with and without nose) are commonly used for kisses, not puking.
- The shortcuts are also inconsistent. Some use noses, some don't.
- Add a tooltip to all icons in the menu to display the emoticon shortcut because nobody can remember them all by heart :-)
- If a chat message includes multiple emoticons, only the first one is used
- The chat command help for “/e” is not good. It should be at least a half sentence about what this command *does*. Type in /help all for inspiration of how the help text should look like.
- “/e” plus the emoji shortcut should display the emoji directly without opening the window or sending anything in chat

[FreeGamers]

:X

There are so many variations for these that at some point, I think it will be up to operators to add their own personal variations. For example, I always used :X as lips sealed tight, or shocked in awe. I always thought of kisses as :* or :-*

[bosapara]

- The shortcuts are also inconsistent. Some use noses, some don't.

Each text smile should be original, if you have ":)", so ">:)" will not work.

PS Tooltips won't work with text smiles like ";)", minetest give back an error.
