Starting with SigGen v0.2.0, it is easier to pick and package Character Image Packs

Read here on how to make Image packs
http://www.wowroster.net/MediaWiki/SigGen#Image_Packs


Update: 01/30/2007
Bajah updated his character pack

Update: 01/17/2007
Tier 3 pack updated for Burning Crusade
New image pack, OldStyle (Images from the beta days of SigGen)

Where I have to place these files? I read the wiki twice, but there is only a section "Making an Imagepack".

Thanks for your time

edit: Ok, I place them into the image folder and change "Character images directory" to tier3. I had the directory + files CHMOD 777. No Charakterimages. I took an image from the "tier3" directory, replaced it with one in the "char" directory (human-female-priest.png to human-priest.png). Then I can see the image????

Is something wrong with char.inc?

Code: Select all

$im_user_file = $configData['image_dir'].$configData['char_dir'].$sig_race.'-'.$sig_gender.'-'.strtolower(getEnglishValue($sig_class,$sig_char_locale)).$char_ext;


We use the wowroster with german language.

[list=1][*]Place the custom character image folder under "../roster/addons/siggen/img/character/" (there should already be 2 folders, "default" and "start").
[*]Go to the SigGen Config -> Main Settings -> Character image pack (should be 3rd in the list). Select the name of your custom character image folder (for those provided here, default names are "bajah" and "tier3").
[*]Save the settings. Done. ^^

I have compiled a character image pack for Siggen 0.2.0, it contains work by Suirion and currently is only for Alliance.

It has a readme with install instructions (pretty much exactly as Leifthrasil stated above) and is very, very easy to use.

You can get it here: http://www.thevigilantes.org/josh/Suirion-Alliance.zip

:: PLEASE NOTE ::
The full zip currently has one corrupted file in it!

I'll have to update the full zip in 2 days, I made it at work so I don't have a copy of it all at home, haha.

Until I do so, you can get any individual images from ny roster install, the direct folder link is http://thevigilantes.org//roster/addons ... -Alliance/

Also in reguards to any requests for Horde/Draenei/Higher tier images, I can't actually help you as my total creativity skills all rely on MS paint. Hopefuly Suirion will show up again and will want to create the images for us!

Phranx.

Thank you very much for your answers.

I use the newest roster 1.7.2 and Siggen Version.

Place the custom character image folder under "../roster/addons/siggen/img/character/" (there should already be 2 folders, "default" and "start").

I dont have the subfolders default & start ?

Go to the SigGen Config -> Main Settings -> Character image pack (should be 3rd in the list). Select the name of your custom character image folder (for those provided here, default names are "bajah" and "tier3").

Did you mean "Character images directory"? It set it to char/tier3/ ... no Avatars. I have no option called Character image pack????

I think something going wrong with the char.inc file. In this file the Avatar file name was build. Could that be?

@Phranx: In your Zipfile is an error.

Code: Select all

CRC-Fehler in Suirion-Alliance\nightelf-male-Druid-Tier2.png. Die Datei ist fehlerhaft

Your Imagepack does have the same issus. I cant see any Avatars. I think it must be a local problem of me.

What version of SigGen do you have?
The latest is v0.2.0 and was released on 01/07/2007

I delete all siggenfiles from the server and drop the siggentable in my Database.

I download siggen_0.2.0.zip.

I upload all files to webspace. Database was created. I CHMOD folders manual. I can see Standard Avatars.

In Mainsettings I can see "Character image pack"

I upload Phranx Characterpack.

I can change in Mainsettings Charakterpack from "default" to "Suirion-Alliance"

And then... no Avatars in sig. very strange

Thanks for your time and help

edit: I try all of the tree here available Packs. All of them did not work. Baja did not have an configuration file. It must be something else.

Ok, I'll try to help you in German. ^^

[list=1][*]Lad den neuesten SigGen (v0.2.0) runter. Entpacke die ZIP-Datei und kopiere alle Ordner und Dateien in den "Addons" Ordner Deines Roster Hauptpfades (sollte unter "../roster/addons/" zu finden sein).
[*]Öffne den SigGen Ordner, der sich jetzt im Addons Ordner befindet (Standardname ist "siggen"), und setze die Ordner "sig" (../roster/addons/siggen/sig"), "ava" (../roster/addons/siggen/ava") und "members" (../roster/addons/siggen/img/members") auf Schreiben für alle (sollte 777 sein).
[*]Im Ordner "img" findest Du den Unterordner "character". Dort befinden sich die Unterordner "default" und "start" (../roster/addons/siggen/img/character/"). In diesen "character" Ordner kopierst Du nun den Ordner mit den Alternativbildern (Standardnamen für die hier verfügbaren sind "bajah" und "tier3").
[*]Öffne nun die Homepage Deines Rosters und klick auf "SigGen (Config)" unter den Addons. Wähle die Option "Main Settings" aus, wenn Du nicht schon automatisch darauf landest. Achte darauf, dass unter der 2. Option "Images directory" als Ordner "img/" steht. Dadrunter befindet sich die Option "Character image pack". Wähle im Dropdown Menü den Ordner mit den Alternativbildern aus ("bajah" oder "tier3" oder wie auch immer Du den Ordner benannt hast). Abspeichern.
[/list:o]

Ich hoffe das hat jetzt geholfen. =)

Solltest Du irgendwelche dieser Ordner nicht sehen oder Störungen haben, empfehle ich eine Neuinstallation von SigGen (oder ein Reset, wenn's schon hilft).

@ Leifthrasil: Ich hab mich genau an deine Anleitung gehalten. Erst funktionierte es wieder nicht. Dann, nachdem ich zigmal zwischen Standard und dem Tier3 Pack hin und her geschaltet habe ging es auf einmal

Und ich hatte zwar zwischendurch immer mal wieder den Browsercache gelehrt. Das Pack von Phranx funktioniert leider immer noch nicht. Da muss ich wohl noch ein paar mal "toggeln".

Danke für deine Mühe
daddelkopp

english: The tier3 pack works now I must toggle between Standard & tier3, again & again.

Thanks again

Update: 01/17/2007
Tier 3 pack updated for Burning Crusade
New image pack, OldStyle (Images from the beta days of SigGen)

I get some error daownloading
\roster\Suirion-Alliance.zip: CRC ... Suirion-Alliance\nightelf-male-Druid-Tier2.png. file is corrupted

Missing draenei sets too

tks

Yes, I'm having the same problem with that image being corrupted.
The rest of the image pack worked perfectly though.

Really looking forwards to trying more packs... this Roster addon is amazing!

Excuse my double posting, but I just read your edit and downloaded the druid image from your site, thanks for that

There seems to be another problem though, my warriors have just discovered we are also missing the nightelf-male-Warrior-Tier3.png image

I'll try to make that one, wish me luck, heh

Here's the Bajah pack, updated for the new races. Sorry for the delay, those that wanted it or liked it
