GM Symbols in chat - need help

[Hermitiess]

Ok I saw how to place a GM symbol into the GMOTD thank's to kh2riv19.

But.. I wanted to be able to link it into chat and such so after some poking around I found i was able to link the Symbol into the default chat with a script and theres is were im stuck. Heres what i have so far.

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124Tinterface\\ChatFrame\\UI-ChatIcon-Blizz.blp:18:12:0:-1\124t")

This makes it apear in your chat but no one else can see it but you, you cannot even copy it with the mod Prat(Chat mod). - Im not to good at scripts so to make it work might be simple ><

Heres a picture of it.
~Look at the Chat box~

Plus its not much use if no one else can see it..

[Captain Planet]

[Hermitiess]

They cant see it yet, im hoping somone that's good with script knows how to send it to /say instead of the default chat frame

[crosecret]

Dont worth anything if only you can see it

[jjaa]

/script SendChatMessage("");

As an addon author (WIM), I would like to contribute that icons are not allowed to be transmitted. Blizzard specifically put this into place for reasons such as mentioned above as well as to prevent people from spamming certain images.

Images are added client side through WoW's UI.

If a GM whispers you, it simply send text to the default chat frame along with the icon. If it sees {star} it converts it into the texture/image tag.

The only way to get another user to see the images you are sending aside from WoW's preloaded raid icons, is if the other user is using the same addon as yourself to interpret them. In my case.. WIM.

Hope that helped clear things up.

Hehe, so this is like a Model Edit without editing really? Only you can see it... pretty useless exploit or whatever you want to call it.
