Yahoo! Messenger Custom Emotions

Have you seen "Hey room you can create custom emotions by editing the emote_user.dat file" or strange emotions in a yahoo chat room?
Wonder how to make your own emotions for yahoo! messenger chat?
emote_user.dat (custom emotions)

To make your own custom emotions go to the folder:
C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\ on your hard drive and open the file emote_user.dat with notepad.

type a new emotion at the bottom of the file in this format:
EmotionName\Text for room emote\Text for single user emote.

  • include \ between each part
  • Put %s where you want the person your emoting's name.

    Example:

    example\hi everybody\hi %s
    typing this makes a new emotion called "example" and makes the messages appear like this in the chat window:

  • remember to save your changes to emote_user.dat! (file->save)
  • you will need to close and reopen any chat room you had open for your emotion to appear.
  • this does not work for the java based chat.
  • to emote the whole room don't select anyone
  • to emote one person select their ID from the list to the right
    Downlaods:
    Emotion Creator Here is a neat little program to edit the emotes if you can't figure out how to do it by hand.
