Random/Alternating Buddy Icons

i think it would be kool if AIM+ had the option randomize or cycle through buddy icons. like have several saved in a directory and have it pick a random one or cycle to the next one each time a person signs on. it'd be nice, if this was done, if it could display ur current icon somewhere so if somebody asks u about it u will know which icon they are talking about or if u just want to know which one u have up at that time.

but i guess if you wanted you could make an animated gif with a 2 hour per frame cycle and that would work. (could be a work around) not sure if it is possible however.. worth looking into though...

You might want to try Buddy Tools - it will rotate and change your icons on a set interval of time. It also has a nice Icon Library manager.
Check it out here.

Wow I just tried out buddy tools for the heck of it, and it's basically a gigantic advertisement for extreme messenger.

It couldn't be hard to write code to pick a random file out of a directory with .ids in them, and then replace the picture.id with that. If that toolset sucks as much as everyone says, then I'm sure one of us could write that if AIM+ won't make it a feature.

i will try that buddy thing, but i would be nice if somebody could write a code and tell me where to put it or how to use it or whatever i need to do. im good with the computers but im no programmer.

Hmmm.... well id say the best id Adobe Photoshop (which comes with Imageready, which is wat you want)

Now... there are a few things you would need to do here....
FIRST: Download photoshop..

Look on Kazaa (or kazaalite) for 'Adobe Photoshop'. But know that you need the file that is about 100mb for version 6, and about 160-200mb for version 7 (i dont kjnow why, i suggest just go with 6, since there isnt much changed). Ya better make sure you get the big one, as if you try to download a really small file, it will most likley be a virus. So spend your time on first getting that. (Dont worry about if it says it comes with a crack or keygen, etc...)

SECOND: install it and crack it...

Go to http://astalavista.box.sk and type in 'Adobe Photoshop 6' (or 7 if ya got it). Now, what you want to find in that big list is a working keymaker for your prog you just spent hours downloadin, lol.

So once you got all that workin, just load up some gif's in image ready and you should be on ur way to making your own high-quality buddy icons

Oh, umm..... i never said i DID this... i just know about it...

Cause yea... i dont do ANYTHING bad like that

Plasma, maybe you could send that kind of stuff in a private message next time? I think most of us are of legal age to view adult content, but I wouldn't want Big-O to get in trouble for having forums that have links to sites with illegal content and pornography.

Plasma2002b · Post by **Plasma2002b** » Thu Aug 08, 2002 3:44 pm

first..... astalavista.box.sk does not activly include ANY pornography.... you may have found pornography by linking yourself outside of it, but you wont find any at astalavista.box.sk.... its a security website. "The search engine for security related websites. Serving the community since 1994. ".

and second.... warez is evil.... i would never use.... lol

If you guys want free animated Gif, i would say go download PainT Shop Pro 7 from Kazaa (illegal though) and then use their Animation SHop to make animated gif's
