This project is a browser extension that replaces Twitch and some BTTV emote texts to actual image emotes for Facebook's Messenger on messenger.com.

There are two ways to use this project:

Download the published extension here:

• Chrome (support page)

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/suitangi/TwitchEmotesMessenger.git

or download the latest version in Releases

Just make sure to turn on developer options in chrome://extensions/ and 'Load Unpacked' and then select the folder where manifest.json is located.

This option allows you to use your own emotes lists.

To change options, click on the extension button on the right side of the URL bar.

• Emote replacement: Replaces text in messages as emotes (images).
• Hover: Hover over emote for the text OR hover over the text for emote (if emote replacement is off). Both emote replacement and hover are on by default

Not every emote is support (especially since many are channel-specific/have many duplicate forms). The list of supported emotes can be found here.

The emotes.json has a simple structure like this:

{"emotes": [
  {"name": "emote1", "url":"https://link.to.emote.1.file"},
  {"name": "emote2", "url":"https://link.to.emote.2.file"},
  {"name": "emote3", "url":"https://link.to.emote.3.file"}
  ]
}

Where the emotes list can have any number of emotes listed. See the default emotes.json for an example.

This is a third party extension and is not affiliated with Facebook Messenger or Twitch. All emotes and images belong to their respective owners.
