Would you please tell me where the chat smileys icons are stored and how could I extract/compress it?
Thanks in advance.

surfaces.pck.files\surfaces\ingame
The files are "emotions*.dds" and "emotions*.txt", where * are some numbers.
Sorry my bad english

Thanks for your answer.
But may I be informed in which tool I can add my custom icons?

Answered here already.

Sorry I meant add custom emoticons* like a new emoticon set with gifs files.

The Perfect World client doesn't read gifs. It uses a dds image for each set with the frames tiled on it. You don't have to repeat the same frame if it is used twice afaik. The client reads the timings from the .txt files.

You might like to read this thread here. While it is about converting from pwi to gif there is still valuable information about they work.

Also from this thread here, it seems you can't have more that 10 sets of smileys so you may have to replace your existing smileys.

Also Romulan is right, you need to use a program that can export the tiled frames out to .dds as you can't use gif files.

i did this a while back but it's pointless to do it... remake gifs to individual pics than add them manually in a .dds texture than edit text file ...enjoy :D
everything u need to do so =Photoshop CS3 and above and nvidia .dds photoshop plugin(google it)
