How to: change guild icons!

[Romulan]

Quick tutorial for changing guild icons!

root@pwserver# cd /Your-PWServer-Path/gamedbd
root@pwserver#: ./gamedbd gamesys.conf listfaction
(a list of this kind will appear)
2,"",2,35,2,0
3,"",2,48,2,0
4,"",0,64,2,2

| guild id | name | level | master id |???| membersize |

The rest is in the files (surfaces / iconset / iconlist_guild.txt) and (surfaces / iconset / iconlist_guild.dds)
In the case of the txt file:
16 (height in pixels)
16 (width in pixels)
92 (number of logo on the height of the dds file or in the first grid in the case of multiple servers)
64 (number of logo on the width of the dds file or in the first grid in the case of multiple servers)
0_0.dds (first logo = null)
1_1.dds (logo of the first guild (id = 1))
1_2.dds (logo of the second guild (id = 2))
1_3.dds (etc. ..)
1_4.dds (etc. ..)
1_5.dds (etc. ..)

The 1 before each guild ID is the id of the server in the / userdata / server / serverlist.txt into the game folder!

If the id of the server when the address is 12 he will need to be 12 instead of 1 in the file (iconlist_guild.txt). The reverse is advised and even easier xD, editing serverlist.txt is simpler ...

In the case of the dds file:
to replace a logo with an another one, I use XnView with his DDS plugin and I copy / paste neatly on a new logo that I want replaced. In many respects, the size in pixels! I will not put a logo on with 32x32 on a old logo with 16x16 xD!

The logo are numbered via the txt file.

The first is the logo-null by default. Do not touch! (0_0.dds)

All others are awarded after functions of the id of the guild. The first logo must be assigned to the guild id 1 (1_1.dds), the second guild id 2 (1_2.dds), etc., etc. ...

Again though, copy and paste properly the new logo on the former. Otherwise you might have half a new logo and a half old logo for your guild!

Finish

may i do with server online or i need to stop server to use this?

[Romulan]

Humm... i always did that when server is online... ^^

[rbb138]

works either way

[FaireFox]

where are the informations of territory, for example, define Dragon City to clan 'RaGEZONE'?

[Allvis]

If you're 12 in my serverlist, I have to edit these
0_0.dds
1_1.dds
1_2.dds
1_3.dds
1_4.dds
1_5.dds

For these
12_0.dds
12_1.dds
12_2.dds
12_3.dds
12_4.dds
12_5.dds

This has to be done to make it work?

If the error you are getting looks anything like this:



(except for surfaces.pck)

then the cause is that you are not using the proper version of PW-Pack

Please download PWPack 2008 and try again ;) :)

Use pwpack 2008 or sPCK to repack your PCK files after modify...

Can not change the amount of logos?
If the height and width is 8, the maximum is 64 logos.
Can not put more than 64 logos?

[rbb138]

its 8*8 pixels per icon.

not 8*8 icons per file.

16 (height in pixels)

92 (number of logo on the height of the dds file or in the first grid in the case of multiple servers)
64 (number of logo on the width of the dds file or in the first grid in the case of multiple servers)

I need change 3 and 4 line, is not logo in file?

[[D@nte]]

its 8*8 pixels per icon.

not 8*8 icons per file.

Sorry but fail!

16 //Pixels per icon x-direction
16 //Pixels per icon y-direction
8 // Icons per column
8 // Icons per row
0_0.dds
1_19.dds
1_37.dds
1_255.dds

Means 64 Icons each icon 16x16 px

| guild id | name | level | master id |???| membersize |

"???" = ID of master's role

yes, i was getting confused with the previous numbers.

Thats not strictly true tho becuase you can get rows at the bottom that are not finished, so you are able to add on icons there without adding a whole extra complete row.

my guild logo file starts with

16
16
60
128
0_0.dds

How do i exactly say that guild with id X gets the icon located at X,Y ? Atm all guilds on mah server have the standard eagle icon ( the 0_0 one i guess )

[xAtticusx]

There's a pwAdmin add-on which does all this I think O.o
