Custom Message Icons as PNGs

[blamemarktjan]

Hey SMFers,

I'm looking for a way to use PNGs instead of GIFs as custom message icons. Is this something that's easy to change, and if so, where can I do it? Currently it insists that I haven't uploaded a file (except I have) if it's in PNG, but works just fine with GIFs of the same name.

Hi blamemarktjan, can I ask why you want to change the file type as there might be another way to achieve what your trying to do?

I would like to know as well how it could be used PNG files as Message icons, just because PNG files are much better quality than GIF.

It would be very much appreciated if there is a way to change it... Thanks

It's a mod package, you should have uploaded it and installed it via the package manager.

Oh ok, i will find that way and i will try, i'll let you know, Thanks

[Kindred]

you don't have to "find a way"

just use the package manager

The Way i meant is that i didn't know there was that package manager jajaja

I found it, and i used it, and now is installed and the png icons coming into the package are shown, and i can now add more png icons.

Thank you very much for your help, very much appreciated.
