Steam-Mosaticon
===============
**This script is now outdated. I have since made an interactive webapp version of this script that you can use from your browser. You can access it [HERE](http://steam.tools/mosaticon).**
### Description
This script will create a mosaic of an image using your Steam emoticons.
### Examples
 
### Installation
You'll need [Python 2.x](http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.5/), [requests](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/) and [PIL](http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/).
Then simply download and use the script (mosaticon.py)
### Usage
`mosaticon.py [ []]`
where:
- **steamid** is your profile name (steamcommunity.com/id/XXXXXXX)
- **imagefile** is the path to the image you want to create a mosaic of
- **width** is the number of emoticons to use horizontally
- **height** is the number of emoticons to use vertically
if height is not provided, aspect ratio of the image is used.
If neither is provided, 25 is used as the width.
WARNING: Your profile might need to be public for the script to work, since it scans your inventory
to gather a list of emoticons you own and can use. Do also note that because of this, the result
of the script will look better the more emoticons you own.
### Output
The script will output the text you'll need to paste. It outputs to stdout by default though,
so you'll it to redirect it to a file: `mosaticon.py bla bla bla > output.txt`
If the output is too long to fit into a message, it'll be split up into piece.
You'll need to paste each piece in succession. Also, since the Steam client has an artificial limit of 2048 characters,
**you'll need to use the [web chat interface](http://steamcommunity.com/chat/)** which can paste up to 12288 characters.
There might be a way of uncapping the client through skin editing, but I couldn't get it working.
### Extra information
When you are pasting multiple pieces, your name will push the first line of text a bit.
To conpensate for this, I remove a few emoticons, and add a few dots.
For example, [my name](http://i.imgur.com/H25Fn30.png) is roughly 3.4 emoticons wide, so I remove 4 emoticons and 2 dots (each dot is ~0.2 emote).
You can change this according to the length of your name by changing `name_length`.
First value is the number of emoticons to remove, second is the number of dots to add.
The script uses the `bg_color` for transparent pixels in the emoticons to get a more accurate result.
On the default skin this is (40, 40, 40). If you have a custom skin and you can change it.
Emoticon's name have different lenghts, so you may need to play with the width/height to get it to fit
in 1 or 2 parts. Roughly, each part holds ~1000 emotes, so 32x32 would fit in one piece and 45x45 for two.
If you have any issues, you can post here or message me on Steam:
