Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: OrlandoNative (orlandonative) Assigned to: Mark Doliner (thekingant) Summary: Gaim support of superbuddy sound and animation? Initial Comment: Using gaim 1.1.2 on Mandrake 10.0 One of my buddies has a superbuddy. They see the animations and hear sounds; but I do not. Is this the correct behavior? If not, what needs to be done to enable the superbuddy icon on my side to match the animations of the sender? I understand in AIM for windows, a seperate package is used to perform these actions. Is there a similar requirement for Linux or other Unices? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-17 15:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.

And it sounds like it's basically separate from normal buddy icons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: OrlandoNative (orlandonative) Date: 2005-01-31 14:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1205706 A 'superbuddy' is a special kind of buddy icon that does animations AND sound... ...it sort of mimics some of the stuff typed in an IM message... ...especially smilies. According to my buddy who has one, it giggles, for example, when she clicks on a 'giggly' smiley; and grins for one of the grinning ones... You can buy them from AIM; or get others elsewhere on the 'net. Regular animated buddy icons seem to work ok in Gaim; but these do not. I understand in the Windows version of AIM, the actual animation and sound stuff is done by some other product than the AOL AIM software itself... ...that is somehow 'attached' to the superbuddy icon... ...maybe that's why they don't work on Gaim. I have Gaim 1.1.2 on Windows and Linux Mandrake, and Gaim 1.0.0 (latest packaged/tar build) on Solaris 9 Sparc. None of those environments seem to handle superbuddies correctly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2005-01-30 22:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 what in the world is a superbuddy? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1110392&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
