Adding New Emoticon

[Hockey]

Hello,

So I wanted to add more emoticons following the theme of the default colored 2014 pack. I extracted the laugh.png image and modified it. I renamed the copy of laugh.png into evilgrin.png . The people I talk with use the following emoticon often:

>:D

After making the new png giving it a name and assigning it a value of the code box above for conversion in chat. I tested it out. The result being >(laugh.png). It won't form the new emoticon. Then I thought maybe it passes the text into the first matching value being

:D

Naturally my thought was to place the evilgrin higher on the list to be checked. It still didn't work. So i removed the lines for laugh.png entirely. Still no success it just won't match. I then gave a secondary value to it of "XD" just to test and it works fine. My last thought is that the greater than(>) less than(<) don't work for emoticons. To test again I made an emoticon with line of evilgrin.png = "><>" being an ASCII fish. It didn't work either.

evilgrin.png = ">:D"
evilgrin.png = "XD"
evilgrin.png = "><>"

This is the current emoticons.txt file. Only the XD works. I guess my question is to an experienced member or support, is the > or < icon recognized by Teamspeak for emoticons?

Thanks for your time,
Hockey
