WZ [Tutorial]Adding char creation options (SpoodFed!)

[BluRain]

Well,it is not that hard but whatever .

This tut works for v62 perfectly,I can not say the same for other versions but you're free to check!​

So what you're about to learn?
-Adding all hair colors
-Adding weapons
-Adding as many hair kinds as you want

necessary :
-Harepacker
-Compiler
-WZ Files

Lets start ..
1)Open your harepacker,go to your client's folder and open Etc.wz
You see the image 'MakeCharInfo.img' ? Double-click it .
Now you have 2 properties : Info & Name
First of all lets add all hair colors .
So double-click the 'Name' one,now you have CharMale & CharFemale: we'll focus on
CharMale atm but you have to do the same in CharFemale only in this case!(Of adding hair colors)

So after we opened CharMale choose 2 and you'll have 3 WzStringProperties if you click
them you'll see color names at the right box : 0 - Black , 2 - Orange , 3 - Blonde , 7 - Brown
Now we'll add 4 - Green,5 - Blue,6 - Purple & 1 - Red .

so we are at CharMale ,press the 2 under it and go to property->add property
you have :
Name
Content
Type

fill it for each color in this way :

Name: Color number (for example 1 for red)
Content: Color Name (write Red for the Name 1 above)
Type : choose the 4th - WzStringProperty

Full example:
Name:4
Content:Green
Type:WzStringProperty
Press submit ----> you've added a color NAME. Now do it for each of the other colors .

Wait,we just began .
Now we added a color name only for CharMale .
Go back to MakeCharInfo and now go to 'Info' SubProperty .
Choose CharMale and open the 2 under it . You see 4 numbers 0-3 which contain a color compressed int id in thier content .
So if you mark each number you'll see the numbers 0 2 3 & 7 in the right box which means we have to add 1 4 5 & 6 like we did in the 'Name' Sub .
mark the 2 under CharMale and click property->add property
You'll have :

Name
Content
Type

fill it this way :
NameA sequential number to the last this case 4 afterwards 5 and so on)
Content1=Red or 4=Green or 5=Blue or 6=Purple we have to add each of them,choose which one you want to add first)
Type:WzCompressedIntProperty (1st)

Example:
Name:4
Content:1
Type:WzCompressedIntProperty

Now we've added the color to the selection but we haven't done yet!
Save your Etc.wz (after you did those 2 steps Name+Info for all the colors)

Open you compiler and go to net.sf.odinms.net.login.handler and open CreateCharHandler.java .
Search this (Ctrl+F):

if (hairColor

you'll see something like this :

if (hairColor!=0 && hairColor!=2 && hairColor!=3 && hairColor!=7)

after you've added all the colors in wz files(0-7)
change this line to:

if (hairColor<0 || hairColor>7)

Save,compile and put in your java folders & dist inside your repack .

Added - All hair colors .

After you realiezed abit lets move to weapons but now faster .
Open your harepacker->Etz.wz go to MakeCharInfo.img .
Go to 'Info',then CharMale(same way for CharFemale) go to 7 .
you have now 0-2 if you mark them you notice a weapons code in the right box .
Lets add a weapon for example Old Gladius - 1302048
mark the 7 then property->add property

Name :A sequential number to the last(in this case 3)
Content :Weapon ID
Type:WzCompressedIntProperty

Example:
Name:3
Content:1302048
Type:WzCompressedIntProperty

save your wz .

Go to your compiler again and go to the CreateCharHandler.java which we added before .

Now search for this line

if (weapon

you'll see

if (weapon != 1302000 && weapon != 1322005 && weapon != 1312004)

we have to add our new weapon (1302048) so we'll add this:

if (weapon != 1302000 && weapon != 1322005 && weapon != 1312004 [B][COLOR="red"]&& weapon!=1302048[/COLOR][/B])

Save,compile and put the jar in your java folders and dist inside the repack folder .

Added - Weapon for char creation .

Last is adding hair kinds .
Faster then the other - open the harepacker->Etc.wz->MakeCharInfo.img
We are about to add 'Metro'(ID 30050) hair to Male's creation .
First go to Name->CharMale (Do not added Male's hair to Female's creation-your client would probably crash)
1->You'll see hair codes (30020,30000,30030)
Mark the 1 , click property->add property

Name:Hair ID
Content:Hair name
Type:WzStringProperty

Example:
Name:30050
Content:Metro
Type:WzStringProperty

press submit

now go to the Info->CharMale->1,mark it and press property->add property

Name:A sequential number to the last
Content:Hair ID
Type:WzCompressedIntProperty

Example:
Name:3
Content:30050
Type:WzCompressedIntProperty

save your wz .
Back to the compiler ->CreateCharHandler.java .
Search this script :

if (gender == 0)
[code]
0 = Male 1 = Female
Because we added a male one we should look [U][B]under this line[/B][/U] for the following line:
[code]
if (hair

you'll see this one:

if (hair != 30000 && hair != 30020 && hair != 30030)

add this to the line

if (hair != 30000 && hair != 30020 && hair != 30030 && [B][COLOR="Red"]hair!=30050[/COLOR][/B])

Save,compile and put in your java folders & dist inside your repack .

Added - Hair style char creation .

I believe you can just open the xml in your server folder and it'll work. I never personally tried it though.

You cannot ,you have to add the lines in the source otherwise
you won't be able to create the character .
