FAQ

I downloaded desktop_ponymotes.py... What is this? How do I run it?

This is a python script. It needs to be run with python (3.3 or above). This means to use it you need to install python first.

Don't forget the third party python modules! You need to install them with pip python's packaging tool.

Then you can run the script. You do this in a command prompt by running python desktop_ponymotes.py (Or python.exe desktop_ponymotes.py or similar on Windows. On 'nix you should be able to make the file executable and then just run it directly.)

I accidentally deleted a few emotes from my library! Can I download only the ones I'm missing?

Yes! Simply run the program with the options -f --skip-already-downloaded.

How do I enable download of NSFW emotes?

Set allow_nsfw to true in config.ini. The line should then read:

allow_nsfw = true

What are the command line options?

Run the script with the option --help to see all available command line options.

How do I use the config file? (config.ini)

There are comments (The lines beginning with #) that tell you how to configure it. All should be explained by these.

...If you're still unsure, feel free to ask.

How does it handle animated emotes?

Unfortunately, a static PNG image of the first frame only is downloaded. A limitation of the backend.

Special Thanks

• DinsFire, for allowing me to use the backend he built for his PonyMotes Android App

• Typhos, for making BPM itself.
