Hello everyone im Jacknife (dolkeboy old name) lets start.
1. Easy setting up for CPW on 343's release
:>Download
:> After downloading extract.
:>Start the server.
:>Go to the folder that you extracted CPW and run install.bat
[INFO 2012-05-21 00-57-14] Input mysql server (eg, localhost): your server ip
[INFO 2012-05-21 00-57-14] Input mysql server (eg, localhost): i used pwAdmin
[INFO 2012-05-21 00-57-14] Input mysql server (eg, localhost): root
[INFO 2012-05-21 00-57-14] Input mysql server (eg, localhost): cpw
:> wait till finishes.
:>run initial.bat.
:>copy from your client patcher.exe and launcher.exe to the CPW-Patcher folder then run patcher-launcher.bat.
:>copy the patcher.exe and launcher.exe back to client.

2.Creating a Patch.
:>Let say that you want to make and patch with elements.data or gshop.data..etc do this:
-Go to CPW-Patcher\files\new\element , create new folder with the name data and paste there your elements.data ...gshop.data etc.
:>To create a patch in a .pck file (cpw rocks here is verry fast) do this:
-Go to CPW-Patcher\files\new\element lets say that you want a new armor skin create new folder called models then in it a folder called players then in it a folder called 装备 and in it create 2 folders 女 and 男 (male and female) in each folder add your armor skin and in elements.data put at cloth model the folder name of armor try to read this its verry helpful.
:>After doing that to create the patch run new.bat and copy the files from CPW-Patcher\files\CPW to opt\cpw\files\CPW , then run your patcher.exe and enjoy it.

3.Adding Custom Icons
:> Extract surfaces.pck.
:> Go to surfaces\iconset and open iconlist_ivtrf.dds and iconlist_ivtrm.dds (ivtrf=female icons , ivtrm= male icons)
:> Untitled - (TUTORIAL) How To Setup CPW, Make A Patch And Adding New Icons - RaGEZONE Forums
:> i used 32x32 (size of icons).
:>after adding them to iconlist_ivtrf.dds and iconlist_ivtrm.dds (same place if you want both genders to see same icons) open iconlist_ivtrf.txt and iconlist_ivtrm.txt and add there for example custom1.dds.
:>open sEledit -load ur elements.data create new material put the id that you want and at icon put custom1.dds (the name that you asigned to your new icon) add the material to a Shop add the elements.data to client&server.

Il be making more guides that dont exist yet when il have more time.
For the PRO people please corect me if im wrong but dont ..... just dont.
I made the guides because i dont have too much time for pw now..ive start working and im missing badly pw so i had to do something i hope it helps.

you can put it anywhere, (desktop, C: , D:..etc) after you installed it you copy it to server (never installed it on other server then 343's)

CPW worked fine, until about 10 minutes ago, when I started getting Update error from server on my patcher. Anyone knows why?
