How do I create a lvz that will replaced the flag.bm2 for anyone playing in my zone? I am creating a zone, but want to change the graphics.
I need help. _________________ No, that was just a love tap... here's the bitch slap!

regarding the flag image:
the file flag must have 10 columns and 2 rows, otherwise it may appear strangely in-game
here you can clearly see the rows and columns
for this image, each column represents a frame of the animation - the rows, of course, are for unowned flag and owned flag
the reason the image must have 10 columns and 2 rows is because the game is hard-coded to divide it into just that (for animation and to distinguish unowned/owned flags)
keeping that in mind, when making a new flag image you can have it virtually any size with any colors you want (though Continuum will convert it to 8-bit for most people, so you may as well save it with indexed colors)
Now, to actually get a custom flag image into your zone:
download lvztoolkit.zip
extract contents
create new text file (use notepad or textpad or something)
type in the following:
Quote: | outfile=nameOfYourChoice.lvz
file=flag.bmp |
save this as nameOfYourChoice.ini
make sure nameOfYourChoice.ini and flag.bmp are in the same directory
run BuildLevel.exe (from lvztoolkit.zip)
when the browse-for-file box comes up, find and select nameOfYourChoice.ini
a .lvz named what you specified at outfile= should be created in the same directory as the .ini and .bmp
move this .lvz file into your server directory
(or place it in your main Continuum directory [eg. C:\Program Files\Continuum], then go in-game and type *putfile nameOfYourChoice.lvz [you must have sysop access])
now go in-game and go to the arena you wish the new flag image to be used in
type ?set misc:levelfiles=nameOfYourChoice.lvz (this also requires sysop or 'ownership' of arena)
then re-enter the arena (?go) to download and see your new image being used |
