In addition to the sticker picker widget itself, this project includes some utility scripts you can use to import and create sticker packs.
To get started, install the dependencies for using the commands:
- Make sure you have Python 3.6 or higher.
- Clone the repo (
git clone https://github.com/maunium/stickerpicker.git
) - (Optional) Set up a virtual environment.
- Create with
virtualenv -p python3 .venv
- Activate with
source .venv/bin/activate
- Create with
- Install the utility commands and their dependencies with
pip install .
Notes about Windows
If pip
doesn't work directly, try py -3 -m pip
. Then use py -3 -m sticker.import
and py -3 -m sticker.pack
instead of sticker-import
and sticker-pack
respectively.
Importing packs from Telegram
To import packs from Telegram, simply run sticker-import <pack urls...>
with
one or more t.me/addstickers/... URLs.
If you want to list the URLs of all your saved packs, use sticker-import --list
.
This requires logging in with your account instead of a bot token.
Notes:
- On the first run, it'll prompt you to log in to Matrix and Telegram.
- The Matrix URL and access token are stored in
config.json
by default. - The Telethon session data is stored in
sticker-import.session
by default. - By default, the pack data will be written to
web/packs/
. - You can pass as many pack URLs as you want.
- You can re-run the command with the same URLs to update packs.
Creating your own packs
- Create a directory with your sticker images.
- The file name (excluding extension) will be used as the caption.
- The directory name will be used as the pack name/ID.
- If you want the stickers to appear in a specific order, prefix them with
number-
, e.g.01-Cat.png
. The number and dash won't be included in the caption.
- Run
sticker-pack <pack directory>
.- If you want to override the pack displayname, pass
--title <custom title>
. - Pass
--add-to-index web/packs/
if you want to automatically add the generated pack to your sticker picker.
- If you want to override the pack displayname, pass
