Class-based character image

Postby molkaan » Mon Dec 04, 2006 5:16 pm

I'm searching for an info... i don't know if it's possible but, i really love personalize the signature with a class-based image, not only race-based...
i.e. for a tauren male maybe i will use 4 images (one for class - druid, warrior, shaman and hunter)... it's possible?

i repeat... i'm sorry for my jupiterial english >_<

It's probably possible, if you change its code. I could dive into it and point you at the right section, but zanix'd probably be faster at that.
If you don't have the php knowledge to mod siggen to do this, I'm afraid your only option is to hope zanix'll include it in Siggen 2.0

ok... i try...

i've found into siggen.php this code:

#--[ IMAGE CREATION ]------------------------------------------------------

// Choose the character image
if( $configData['charlogo_disp'] )
{
// Check for custom/uploaded image
$custom_user_img = $configData['image_dir'].$configData['user_dir'].$sig_name.'.png';

// Set custom character image, based on name in DB
if( file_exists($custom_user_img) )
{
$im_user_file = $custom_user_img;
}
// If custom image is not found, check for race and gender
elseif( !empty($sig_race) )
{
// Set race-gender based image
if( !empty($sig_gender) )
{
$im_user_file = $configData['image_dir'].$configData['char_dir'].$sig_race.'-'.$sig_gender.'.png';
}
// Set race only image
else
{
$im_user_file = $configData['image_dir'].$configData['char_dir'].$sig_race.'.png';
}

} // Set default character image
else
{
$im_user_file = $configData['image_dir'].$configData['charlogo_default_image'].'.png';
}
}

[...]

Ok ok ok... i think that it's only (:P) necessary a recursive IF cycle into this one... before the check for the race we need the check for the class...

In italian we say: "tra il dire e il fare c'è di mezzo il mare"... translated it looks like: "between ASK and DO there's the sea" (ok, in english does not play well :\)... i wanna just say that i don't know how i can do all this... some ideas? :D

I'd say myself you want the class after the gender check, so it'll only show the class-specific one if race, class, and gender are known. This saves drawing work. Try this:

Add the images to the addons/siggen/img/char folder, naming the files like this:

RACE-GENDER-CLASS.png (EG tauren-male-druid.png)

Then, replace the code you quoted by this:

Code: Select all
#--[ IMAGE CREATION ]------------------------------------------------------

    // Choose the character image
    
if( $configData['charlogo_disp'] )
    {
        
// Check for custom/uploaded image
        
$custom_user_img $configData['image_dir'].$configData['user_dir'].$sig_name.'.png';

        
// Set custom character image, based on name in DB
        
if( file_exists($custom_user_img) )
        {
            
$im_user_file $custom_user_img;
        }
        
// If custom image is not found, check for race and gender
        
elseif( !empty($sig_race) )
        {
            
// Set race-gender based image
            
if( !empty($sig_gender) )
            {
                
// Set race-gender-class based image
                
if( !empty($sig_class) )
                {
                    
$im_user_file $configData['image_dir'].$configData['char_dir'].$sig_race.'-'.$sig_gender.'-'.$sig_class.'.png';
                }
                else
                {
                    
$im_user_file $configData['image_dir'].$configData['char_dir'].$sig_race.'-'.$sig_gender.'.png';
                }
            }
            
// Set race only image
            
else
            {
                
$im_user_file $configData['image_dir'].$configData['char_dir'].$sig_race.'.png';
            }

        }    
// Set default character image
        
else
        {
            
$im_user_file $configData['image_dir'].$configData['charlogo_default_image'].'.png';
        }
    }

If you got specific race-gender-class images made, I would sure like them

I would even insert this into SigGen as well

I tweaked the code and made the images last night, coincidentally...

I signified class by using the Tier 3 Armor... any other suggestions to signify Class in the Character Image?

Examples:

Wow, these are very nice, these images are perfect

Wanna design the graphics for my next version of SigGen?
Or make a theme for it at least?
I hope to have my next version done by the time Roster 1.8 comes out
It will have support for custom images that can be set to pull certain values from the database, so character image may be set like this

[race]-[gender]-[class].png
So for example if the character is a male Dwarf Hunter, using the define above, SigGen will try to find the image dwarf-male-hunter.png

Anything that can be pulled from the database can set as an image
[race].png - for backgrounds
Dwarf will try to find the image dwarf.png

I only have this on paper, so no code yet
The dev team and I are still working on Roster 1.8 so when that hits beta I should be able to start coding

Thanks for the compliments. =)

I'd be more than happy to toss some designs around.

How do we start this shindig?

Here are the images of race-gender-class (40 in all). I left them over-sized and whole, so people can resize and crop them to suit their needs. Also, I left the helmets off of the armor sets, to better illustrate race and gender.

Please see this post for downloads.

Any suggestions or requests?

By the way, Molkaan, I forgot to mention... very nice sig work!

This line
Code: Select all
$im_user_file $configData['image_dir'].$configData['char_dir'].$sig_race.'-'.$sig_gender.'-'.$sig_class.'.png'


Should be this
Code: Select all
$im_user_file $configData['image_dir'].$configData['char_dir'].$sig_race.'-'.$sig_gender.'-'.strtolower(getEnglishValue($sig_class,$sig_char_locale)).'.png'

This is so the class will always look for the English version of the image, so we are not duplicating what is already a 40 image set (more with horde images...)
