UserGuide & Download
...PLEASE READ...
-
There
is now only one version of YEmote to download, the basic
functions of YEmote (including smiley manager) are still
free to use even beyond the trial period and will
NOT expire (use just as you would previous versions of YEmote) The Trial period is for the
[webcam capture] features only
and it is this feature only which will degrade.
-
Because of my costs in both time and money I'm asking
this small donation of just £14.95 which allows continued
use of YEmote+, CamGrab-2+, all other utilities on my
site and all future updates/upgrades. Your download
costs me and while I enjoy making YEmote it's continued
availability depends on this.

YEmote
For secret smileys, I find the key combo difficult to
remember and tedious to cut and paste from a list. For new animated smileys I
find it difficult to remember what the animated icons look like from the
static menu of the pull down list.
With YEmote2+ its easy, Just run and all the emoticons are only a click away.
YEmote2+ contains a lot of functionality in one program,
The following pages will give you an overview of some of these but the best
way to find out what you can do with YEmote2+ is to download and give it a
try.
|

|
YEmote2+ contains all the functionality of previous
versions, if you have used YEmote in the past you should feel at home with the
basics. If you think like I do then the rest should be intuitive ;) A new pop-up menu over the
function rotate, allows a quick jump to the various options. (left & right
mouse clicks still rotate).
YEmote2+ is context sensitive to what you are
doing and who you are chatting with. In a chat room? YEmote2+ will display
quick room navigation buttons, Chatting with a friend? have YEmote2+
show their custom smilies. See Status changer and CamGrab for more
automated displays.

|
Text-FX
Built-in Text effects let you express yourself far
beyond what you can with just text and smileys. Uniquely YEmote2+ does not do
anything impossible (just tedious) by hand, This means what you send can be
seen by anyone using the standard Yahoo Messenger client they wont need to
download or install any additional programs. Surprise and impress your friends
or just send someone special an ASCII art picture to cheer them up :)


CamGrab-2+
One of the most significant inclusions to YEmote2+ is the
integration of CamGrab-2+ functionality. This is much more than a simple bolt
together and includes the following new features:
- Auto Scan:
All new webcam windows are automatically detected; YEmote's window will
change contents according to the currently selected webcam allowing easy
access to all capture options without the clutter of multiple control
windows.
- Continuous monitor (buffered
record):
YEmote2+ continually saves the last preset number of frames. Ever seen your
friends doing something stupid on cam and wish you had captured it!? With
monitor enabled hitting the the Start capture button includes these
previous frames, effectively allowing you to start capture before the
event. Because all webcam windows are automatically detected there is
nothing to think about.
- Text Overlay: You
can now add text to the saved image; Add the yahoo ID of the person, the
current date/time for reference, or just your own text. Use like a video
camera's text function to add event text "Happy Birthday" ?
- Window title update:
If you have multiple webcams open it's easy to lose track if you are
capturing or not, YEmote2+ updates the webcam window title, prefixing
"(*)" when capture is in progress.
| All the standard CamGrab-2+ features
remain, including obstruction detection and auto window move.
CamGrab-2+ still contains the more specialized features like
colour/brightness correction, FTP upload, Own cam capture, etc... By
default the webcam image files are stored in the CamGrab directory (if
installed) 
|

|
CamGrab Playback and Thumbnail grid
The new thumbnail grid displays all the webcams you have
captured (both as images and saved to AVI) with quick preview and information
about each cam. The CamGrab player; This has been updated to improve speed and
user feedback. You can stop and start playback from any position and select a
range to repeat play, delete, or save (example of a selected range shown as
blue bar in position slider)


Message Archive Viewer
Being able to save and review an archive of all messages
sent is incredibly useful and credit to Yahoo for including it. But what if
you want to view them offline? (Yahoo will only let you view when connected);
As I needed to access the archive most often when I was offline it became a
problem. YEmote's Message archive viewer solves these and other
problems.

YEmote2+ adds full text formatting displaying the text
as originally intended using correct fonts/colour. YEmote2+ is actually
significantly faster at displaying the text from long sessions. You can now
view your message archive from alternate accounts without having to change
login or indeed be online! Even recover text from a login if you have
forgotten the password. Full text search helps you find the message you
were looking for. Weblink extract locates and lists all the websites located
in the message text. (NEW: Now with global search and save)

Y-Voice Alert
Yahoo's
built-in knock is great at letting you know when someone has logged in/out
but you still have to go to your computer to know who, if you are not
quick enough and with lots of friends in your list it can be impossible to see
who it was! YEmote2+ solves the problem by actually speaking the userid (or
nickname) of your friends as they log in out. It will also announce new
instant message windows! But more than this YEmote2+ keeps a log including the
date and time so you can see
which friends came and went when you were away. To get the voice functions
working correctly may require the following additional configuration:
Y-VoiceAlert
Support
In addition to voice alert you can
also hear when users view and leave your webcam, YEmote's drop target
will flash green as well as a distinct sound played. If you leave your
webcam open it can be useful to know when someone (or how many) people are
watching without having to keep an eye on the screen (or the window ontop)
|
 |
Smiley / Emoticon Editor
Smileys are great... but everyone wants to be different.
YEmote5 supported custom smiley sets with automated options for assigning and
swapping sets for different users. YEmote2+ includes a set editor allowing easy
creation and editing of new sets.
 |
You can create a new set in
seconds by selecting alternate smileys from any sets you have
installed - you choose which emoticons remain the default yahoo or
swapped with a custom. It's also easy to replace a smiley with
any .gif image you have on your computer - just click the destination
smiley and browse for the file. You can download sets created by other
users (like those included with YEmote), YEmote2+ makes importing these alternate
sets just as simple via a drag'n'drop interface. |

StatusFX
StatusFX is another new context sensitive window for
YEmote2+ The initial need was for a library of status messages that could be
selected as easily as the built-in ones. Yahoo stores the past 5 status
messages you enter; I often use the same custom message which get replaced
with any I may use for a one off. YEmote2+ can store a almost limitless number
of smileys and allows easy access to those you have used in the past, also adds automated status effects
and a full drag'n'drop editor. Status library editor is shown in brief below
which also allows edit of the 5 custom status message history in Yahoo
Messenger.
Quickly enter a new status without losing yahoo's status
history. Built-in automated options include:
- I'm Idle -
Change your status to indicate your are idle (even if you are not!)
- Gone for... -
Updates every minute indicating how long you have been away
- Back In - Set
the away time to have your status countdown to your expected arrival
- Going, going.. -
Useful when chatting to several people to indicate you are about to
leave, allows you to continue chatting as you status is changed to
indicate your impending departure (The final status change is to
invisible)
- I'm chatting with... -
Want to boast about how many friends you have? need a way to tell
friends instant reply is difficult? Updates your status indicating
how many message windows you have open.
|
|
| Shown above is the YEmote2+
context window (displayed when you select the main Yahoo Messenger
window). Beneath is the library status picker. The library allows for a
structured categorized organization of status messages with status icons
(including idle).
NEW:
Status Cycle Changer - Automatically updates your status from a preset
list you choose every minute
Y-Eyes - Just for fun :)
 
|
User Profiles
Ever needed to quickly note something down when chatting
with someone? maybe a website address? telephone number?
 |
An additional panel on YEmote+
allows you to save simple notes for each user (The notes are displayed
when the users message window is active or from the user setting). |
The screenshots below show the
various editors (Status/Quotes/User).
Quotes library allows storage of messages for quick paste into the
chat window, any message length can be stored up to the maximum
message allowed, along with a short description to be displayed in the
pick menu, Stored message/quotes can also be assigned with the user
which are only displayed when that users chat window is active.
User settings allow edit of user notes, assign a custom smiley set.
preview saved webcams and quick access to the message archive.

AutoTextFX
AutoTextFX is a new feature for
responding to commands typed directly in the message box. Examples
include text replace; where the command is replaced with some text
e.g. the current time/date or a quote from the library. Text modify
where the previous text is transformed using HackText or SizeWave.
Window commands including keep the current chat window on top of
other windows and set transparency of chat windows.
Quick status change. Further details click 'Show me how' below...
