How to make your own smiley.pak file for a phpBB forum?

[Tron]

Hiya,

I dunno what you lot are going to make of this question, you're forum rules are the longest I've ever seen!

I can't quite pin down any instructions or ware for compiling your own pack of smileys.

I'm thinking along these lines:

...except I don't completely follow it.

I'm not brilliant at this sort of stuff, but I have had some brushes with programming and multimedia.
Would anyone be kind enough to give a step by step run through of how to compile a set of smiley animated gifs into a .pak file that you could upload into a phpBB forum?

please could someone offer some advice?

thanks in advance.

You create a file within notepad or similar and list the smiles, sizes and name. One line for each smilie.
Like this:

Code: Select all

'1.gif', '18', '18', '1', 'Happy', ':)',

Once you have made the file of all smilies, save as .PAK and upload the file and smilies to /images/smilies

Then select the pak file in ACP - Smilies.
