Each user can add his/her own icons if he/she thinks the standard emoticons aren't enough varied.

 

For that, he/she needs to start Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, to surf on the internet to select a picture or an animated icon, to click on the picture with the mouse then to move the mouse over the chat window while keeping the mouse button pressed : a special code for the picture will then appear on the chat text line.
Remark: this method does not work on images that are links in Internet Explorer, thus on 'clickable' images.

Besides this simple but volatile method (you don't keep the images), it's also possible to add pictures and icons permanently, but it's slighly more complicated. Here's how to do :

 

1. configurate windows explorer by following the explanations at this link
   
   

2. open the file chat.ini of your chat directory.
   
   Here's how : if your yellow chat icon you start the chat with is called CHAT_SAMU (, see the picture on the right, you must type the text c:\chat.samu in the red area (1), then click on (2), (3) and (4) :
   
   Here's a example file chat.ini when it's open :
   
    

   # chat.ini [icons] heriss = c:\mes documents\herisson.gif soleil = soleil_rouge.jpg fille2 = fille125.bmp

   
    

3. If you're drawing your pictures using a program (for example Paint or Photoshop) make sure you're always saving your original creations in format .BMP 24-bits because this uncompressed format is the only one that garantees the full richness of the 24 million colors available with these programs.
   
    

4. When your picture is finished, you can reduce its size on the disk by saving it in one of the following compression formats :
   
    

   • GIF : choose this format if your creation contains no more than 256 colors - you must know that if your picture contains a lot of colors, a conversion to GIF will reduce stronly the richness and luminosity of the picture's colors - compare with the original BMP picture before selecting this format.
     
      

   • JPG : if you save your picture in format JPG, you must know that many programs allow you to specify a compression rate from 0 to 100. A too small value will produce fuzzy pictures; a too large value will produce a large file on the disk - be aware that a compression to JPG will always reduce the quality and sharpness of your image - compare with the original BMP picture before selecting this format.
     
      

   • BMP : you can also keep your original BMP picture to be sure not to loose any quality, but on the condition that your image does not exceed 63K on the disk.
      

   
    

5. Copy your image files (.GIF, .JPG or .BMP) in the same directory as chat.ini - next to the red circle (4), not on it.
   
    

6. Then, for each image, write a line in chat.ini under the line [icons] (look at the example that already contains 3 lines). For each line, you must give a 6-character-name to your icon (no less, no more than 6 characters otherwise it won't work !), followed by an equal sign '=', followed by the image filename on the disk with its extension (.GIF, .JPG or .BMP).
   
   Then you must close the chat.ini window and save the changes.
   
    

7. When this is done, click on the chat window (where you chat) and press the F5 key. You'll see a line 'system info: loading chat.ini : ok' which indicates that the chat has reloaded your new chat.ini file.
   
    

8. Type now on the chat : {heriss} {soleil} {fille2}
   
   You should then see your icons.
   
    

Correct then the problem and retry (don't forget to press F5).

It is recommanded, to avoid "lag" and slow scrolling, to select a small image, to cut it well using MsPaint at minimal dimensions. A transparent background for GIF images is recommended.

Here are some more special cases :

 

In a 3D room, you can move using the keyboard arrows :

-> forward, backward, turn left or right.
-> using control-left and control-right : move sidewards left or right without turning.
-> using Tab : jump.

You can also move using the mouse :

-> to turn, click on a point of the upper half of the screen and roll the mouse left or right.
-> to move, click on a point of the lower half of the screen (where you want to go), and while leaving the mouse button pushed, roll the mouse towards you.
-> if you have ammunition, shoot with the right mouse button.
