Search and Replace Mod

[IAAM Radio]

I would like to replace all my smilies with a new package. The current package has unique names for the smiles and the new package does not. Is there a way to search and replace with the new smilie name?

Example: Current smile may be A21. Now my new package is simply a number i.e. 1 how do I search for all A21 smiles and replace it with 1? I know VB and Xferno have a mod to do this. So far no luck on phpBB.

Thanks for any assitance.

You would name the smilie the same as the other smilie, making sure it has the same emotion expression.

Once you done that you upload the .pak file and the smilies to the smilies folder and mass delete all old smilies and replace them with the new smilies set.

You got to make sure your .pak file look something like this:

'angry.gif', '20', '20', '1', 'angry', ':angry', 
'biggrin.gif', '20', '20', '1', 'biggrin', ':biggrin', 
'blink.gif', '20', '20', '1', 'blink', ':blink', 
'blush.gif', '20', '20', '1', 'blush', ':blush',

Hmmm is there no other way? I thought there would be a tables mod?

Or you could just not be lazy and add them through the ACP, works wonders for custom smiles, I did that with my old custom smiles, I had like 50 and it took me 2 minutes to do.

That works when you have the exact same number of smiles. My old pack has 20 more than the new one so I want to do a search and delete far as the smile code i.e. A45 = 🙂 I now have A45s out there with no smile.

I didn't have the exact amount and it didn't take that long to do, just a very tedious task, that's all.

Thanks Nathen I also seek the mod because you can also change vid code out. I know one is out there I simply forgot what it's called.

Took 10 seconds, added +2 mpg, and +4 IQ when using a search bar which turned out the following search results...

Import smiley pack

Now, adding smilies like that can be a bit tedious if you have several to install so there is a way to import a batch of them using something called a smiley pack (or .pak) file.
Some smilies can be downloaded with a .pak included but some do not, which means you might want to make one. You can do this in two ways. One is to make the file by hand following this KB article or there is a pak file generator here.
Upload the smiley images and the .pak file to the images/smiles folder and choose Import smiley pack.
Select the .pak file from the drop box at the top.
'Delete existing smileys before import' does what it says if you want to replace the current ones, otherwise the new ones will be added to the end of the list.
'What should be done in case of conflicts' allows you to decide whether to replace a same-named smilie with the new one you're importing or to keep the original.
